This Report Financing for Development: Progress and Prospects 2017 marks the second edition released by the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing Development following the full-year implementation of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
This Financing for Development: Progress and Prospects 2018 finds that most types of development financing flows increased in 2017, and that there has been progress across all the action areas of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. This progress was underpinned by an upturn in the world economy, but at the same time the report warns that risks could derail development progress and structural impediments continue to undermine sustainable development prospects.
The 2019 Financing for Sustainable Development Report, the fourth report of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development, provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of sustainable finance, four years after the adoption of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. The report warns that mobilizing sufficient financing remains a major challenge in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Despite signs of progress, investments that are critical to achieving the SDGs remain underfunded and parts of the multilateral system are under strain.
The Inaugural 2016 Report: Monitoring commitments and actions, is the first edition of the report of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development that maps out the commitments and action items contained in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.

A deep transformation of existing infrastructure systems is needed for both climate and development—one that includes systemic conceptual and behavioural changes in the ways in which we manage and govern our societies and economies.
