Perspectives on international financial architecture reform: What do we want the FfD4 Conference to achieve?

Reform of the international financial architecture is currently one of the most prominent items on the international political agenda. This side event discussed how we can implement reform proposals in practice and what role the 4^th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) can play in this.  In preparation for the FfD4 independent researchers and civil society policy experts have drafted the report “Building new foundations. Reimagining the International Financial Architecture”. The report which was launched at this event identifies key reform areas, develops innovative policy proposals and examines how they can be realized in the international policy-making process.
