18. Reaffirms the special role that the international financial and trade institutions, in particular the major
institutional stakeholders involved in the financing for development follow-up process, should play in all
aspects of the third International Conference on Financing for Development, including their active
involvement in its preparatory work, following the experience of the Monterrey and Doha Conferences
(UN Resolution on Modalities for the Conference, 2014.)

13. Lessons from the existing MDG framework
• The original MDGs were articulated independently of a financing
framework (Monterrey 2002).
• In a context of fiscal consolidation, discussion of post-2015 goals
must be integrated with consideration of supporting financing.
• No quantity of financing, whether grant, concessional, or non-
concessional, can achieve the development goals without supporting
policies and a credible commitment to combating poverty.
• Costing MDGs requires too many assumptions (WDR 2004), and is
not the objective of this exercise.

22. WBG Global Commitments

23. Message: The WBG: Fit-for-purpose
• The WBG is well positioned to implement the SDGs.
• It has just undergone a major transformation that puts in place a structure
that is fully aligned with the implementation challenges/opportunities of
the SDGs.
• On the finance side, the IBRD’s financial “margins for maneuver” have
been overhauled, substantial increases in IDA’s funding, reformed and
aligned trust funds. With the One WBG approach, there is strong capacity
to leverage different sources of finance - we are getting more effective at
doing that with the private sector in particular.
• The newly established Global Practices largely reflect the issue areas
covered by the SDGs.
• More importantly, the emphasis on cross-Practice, i.e. inter-sectoral
linkages, is at the core of the SDG agenda.
