NEW YORK — Development finance needs better coordination, cooperation, and definitions, the director-general of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency told Devex.
Sweden has been an active participant in discussions about development finance, and country representatives attending the Financing for Development Forum this month presented about the Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development initiative, which brings together private investors and looks at ways to push the dialogue forward.
Devex met with Sida Director-General Carin Jämtin to discuss where things stand with Sustainable Development Goals financing efforts, Sweden’s official development assistance, European aid cooperation, and the “global gag rule.”
