| Overview : BACKGROUND / PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Addis Ababa International Conference of Financing for Sustainable Development (FFD) will take place in July 2015 in Addis Ababa. The first of such meetings took place in Monterrey, Mexico, in 2002 resulting in the Monterrey Consensus that established a broad foundation for FFD taking into account mobilization of domestic resources, foreign direct investment, ODA, trade, debt and systemic issues. The follow up conference in 2008 in Doha, Qatar, updated this to include statements on responding to the financial crisis, climate change and volatile markets, and acknowledged the particular challenges faced by middle income, and conflict affected countries. The FFD Conference, which will take place in Addis Ababa from July 13-16, 2015, will build on Monterrey and Doha to agree on the next international consensus how sustainable development should be resourced in the post 2015 period, to meet the financing needs of the Sustainable Development Goals that will be decided by Member States during the September 2015 UN General Assembly.
