Identifying country needs for an effective global financial architecture – perspectives from Africa

Conferences - By : Sarah BENDAHOU / Diana CÁRDENAS MONAR

Ensuring that the reformed financial architecture adequately responds to differentiated needs requires that countries play a central role in the identification of these needs and the implementation of the response provided. By adopting a country perspective (i.e. based on the experience of African countries), this side-event has shed light on the key considerations that the reformed global financial architecture should take into account to support country climate commitments’ translation into concrete action.
