There is far too little investment in sustainable development. Unless this changes, we will exceed the last permissible planetary boundary, condemning future generations to a legacy of conflict and inequality. The Pact for the Future, just signed weeks ago, contains high aspirations but unclear pathways to implementation.

How to avoid this pattern of broken promises and empty words in the world of development finance?

We present the ABCD of modern development finance, where All Benefit, Contribute, and Decide.

“Better Money, More Money” is a first attempt from the GPI Network to make a blueprint for a successful Financing for Development Conference in 2025, where actual solutions are presented, where real commitments are made, and where countries can access more and better finance.

The Time is Now

As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to set back development progress for a generation, it is clearer than ever that serious structural changes are needed to safeguard communities around the world, and the planet itself. We still haven’t worked out how to provide public goods and services effectively and fairly across the world. That’s why I wish the Expert Working Group on Global Public Investment the very best in their deliberations. The Global Public Investment approach is our best bet for modernising international public finance for the 21st century.
