FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sevilla, Spain | 30 June – 3 July 2025 – United Voices for Global Impact (UVGI) is honored to announce its participation in the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) and Civil Society Forum, to be held at the FIBES Sevilla Exhibition and Conference Centre from June 28 to July 3, 2025.
Under the theme “Financing Our Future,” FFD4 represents a pivotal moment for the international community to rethink and reform global financing systems in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hosted by the United Nations, this high-level convening brings together world leaders, financial and trade institutions, private sector stakeholders, and civil society to forge a renewed global financing framework, urges ambitious financial solutions and address the urgent investment needs for sustainable development.
Dr. Hala Ghoson, President of UVGI, stated:
“It is a tremendous privilege to represent UVGI at FFD4. As an organization committed to empowering marginalized communities and advancing global equity, we understand that financing is not just a policy issue—it is a matter of justice and opportunity. This conference offers a critical platform to advocate for equitable, inclusive, and sustainable financial solutions that prioritize the most vulnerable.”
FFD4 continues the legacy of the Monterrey (2002), Doha (2008), and Addis Ababa (2015) conferences and aims to drive transformative action by addressing pressing challenges such as debt sustainability, climate finance, and international financial reform. The outcomes of FFD4 will be instrumental in shaping international cooperation and financing mechanisms through 2030 and beyond.
The conference will feature a dynamic official program, six multi-stakeholder roundtables co-chaired by Heads of State and Government, and a series of key events, including the Civil Society Forum, the International Business Forum, and the Sevilla Platform for Action—designed to foster inclusive dialogue and cross-sector collaboration.
UVGI’s participation underscores our continued commitment to:
- Advocating for financing mechanisms that support health, education, gender equality, and climate resilience.
- Ensuring the voices of grassroots organizations and underrepresented communities are heard in global decision-making.
- Advancing a financing agenda that leaves no one behind.
As a civil society organization with global reach and local impact, UVGI is proud to contribute to shaping a future where financing for development is transparent, inclusive, and aligned with human rights and sustainability principles.
