The 2021 Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) High-level Meeting aims to advance international development cooperation that reduces risk, enables recovery, and builds resilience in the COVID-19 period and beyond. Its outcome will shape the role of development cooperation in the Decade of Action for the SDGs.
The DCF promotes inclusive solutions for more effective development cooperation in all its forms–financing, capacity support, policy change, and multi-stakeholder partnerships. It supports efforts toward the coherent implementation of the 2030 and Addis Agendas, Paris Agreement, and Sendai Framework. And it puts the needs and priorities of those with the least resources and weakest capacities at the centre of its efforts in order to:
- produce actionable policy guidance for Member States and other actors on development cooperation;
- give strategic direction and add value to the multilateral dialogue on development cooperation by providing official inputs into the HLPF and FfD processes while also contributing to other intergovernmental processes such as LDC-V and COP26;
- document and disseminate evidence to support innovative policies and uptake of best practices; and
- facilitate learning, knowledge-sharing, and opportunities for collaboration among actors.
