The High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development took place at UN Headquarters in New York on 27 and 28 June 2005. The overall theme of the High-level Dialogue was "The Monterrey Consensus: status of implementation and tasks ahead".
Members of Social Watch participated in the High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development.
John Foster
(North-South Institute, Canada), Jens Martens (Global Policy Forum, Germany),
Patricia Jurewicz (Institute for Agriculture and Trade
Policy - IATP, USA) and Roberto Bissio (Social Watch, Uruguay) were part
of the roundtables of the FfD High Level meeting of ECOSOC.
The first day
of the Dialogue consisted of a formal meeting chaired by the President of the
General Assembly, at which ministers and high-level officials were able to make
formal statements. The second day was devoted to six interactive
multi-stakeholder round tables followed by an informal interactive dialogue with
the participation of all relevant stakeholders. The central theme of each of the
round tables was an individual chapter of the Monterrey Consensus.
