Source: New Rules for Global Finance Coalition
The preparations for the High-level Biennial Review of the Financing for Development process and commitments is moving ahead very quickly, as are the preparations for the follow-up conference in Doha, Qatar the end of 2008.
The earliest date is actually October 11 for the informal hearing featuring civil society and the private sector.
The time is RIPE to send recommendations for action on any of the 6 sections of the Monterrey Consensus:
A: Domestic Financing for Development
B. Foreign investment
C. Trade
E. Bilateral and multilateral foreign assistance
F. Systemic Issues: dealing with systemic crises and governance of international financial rule making bodies
Please send your organization’s recommendations for action either to Daniel Platz (UN Financing for Development Office, Focal Point for Civil Society platz@un.org), or to jbaker@new-rules.org—who will keep your name attached, making sure you both receive the credit for the idea, as well as any requests for further information or follow-up action/implementation. Please encourage your international partners to do the same.
