Organised by
Sweden in cooperation with Ethiopia, Mozambique and the United Arab Emirates
Summary
Official Development Assistance is dwarfed by other financial flows, but the importance and potential is as high as ever. Wisely used, it can create tools to stimulate sustainable development improving people’s lives. ODA can enhance gender equality strengthening democratic systems and institutions, support capacity building, find innovative solutions, and act as a catalyzer for other financial flows. The role of ODA is changing. There are long term, game changing benefits for those who are brave enough to utilize the benefits and see the potentials.
This event will draw on experiences from Ethiopia, Mozambique, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates to show the role that ODA plays, and can play, in various country settings. Introduced by the Prime Minister of Sweden, a high level panel, will outline and discuss the importance and role of ODA, today and for the future.
