International Conference on Financing for Development
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what the Government's priorities will be at the UN Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa in July 2015; and what her assessment is of the likely outcome of that conference.
- Answer
-
As a country that has met its commitment to spend 0.7% of GNI on international development, the UK’s priority for the UN Financing for Development Conference is to provide a solid foundation for the post-2015 summit in September and the climate meeting in December.
Negotiations are still underway and we are working to ensure the UK priorities form a core part of the agenda going forward.
