Financing for Development is at a crossroads. This 9th Report of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development paints a sobering picture. The window to rescue the SDGs and prevent catastrophic climate change is closing. We are falling short on core commitments of the 2030 Agenda such as ending extreme poverty and hunger. Financing challenges—including an investment crisis, driven by a sluggish global economy and tight financing conditions—have hampered our progress, preventing the urgently needed investment push in the SDGs. But amid these challenges there lies opportunity. If we can address the big financing challenges of today—close the growing financing gaps, fix the international financial architecture, and create enabling environments at all levels to finance theambitious transformations we need—then we can still succeed. It will be difficult, but it is doable. This report addresses that.
