Strategic Dialogue on the topic of Unconstitutional Changes of Government (UCGs)
Co-convened by the UNDP Global Policy Centre for Governance and Crisis Bureau
In tandem with the 2024 Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development, UNDP will convene a strategic dialogue on the topic of unconstitutional changes of government, looking at critical but difficult questions on how to engage, stay and deliver development solutions after unconstitutional changes of government. The closed-door multi-stakeholder dialogue will consider policy, practice and partnerships implications, as well as research gaps that require urgent attention.
Coming 8-9 May 2024
Finance, Integrity and Governance (FIG) Initiative Symposium
The Finance, Integrity and Governance (FIG) initiative, funded by Norway, facilitates informal and explorative conversations on financing for development. The initiative consists of three policy symposia ahead of the FfD4 Conference. The policy symposia will provide a ‘Chatham house’ context to informally discuss current trends and dynamics, understand countries’ experiences in addressing key financial integrity challenges, and build knowledge on new and emerging issues. The initiative serves as a co-creative knowledge track that is separate from member states’ deliberations. The initiative is implemented in collaboration with the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).
The first FIG policy symposium will focus on the interlinked topics of international tax cooperation and illicit financial flows, and will convene soon in Oslo.
Coming 14-15 May 2024
