In his latest contribution on financing SDGs in the Global South, Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, Southern Voice Steering Committee Chair, provides important insights from a Southern perspective. He observes a serious mismatch between the global discourse on financing for development and the realities on the ground, as well as a serious lack of political energy.

The contribution, titled Sustainable Development Goal financing in the developing countries: Like clouds and wind without rain, has been published under Chapter 2 on “Broadening Perspectives”, in the second part of the Financing the UN Development System: Opening Doors report.

The report is the result of a collaborative partnership between the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation (the Foundation) and the United Nations Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO). Although lead authors are Bruce Jenks (Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation), Jennifer Topping and Henriette Keijzers (MPTFO), the publication received valuable inputs from eminent experts of the international development and research community: Careen Abb, Magdi M. Amin, Richard Bailey, Fiona Bayat-Renoux, Cecilia Caio, Marc-André Blanchard, Sachin Chaturvedi, Jorge Chediek, Samuel Choritz, Lindsay Coates, Pedro Conceição, David Dollar, Björn Gillsäter, Yannick Glemarec, Colleen Keenan, Homi Kharas, Stephan Klingebiel, Johannes F.
