The Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) is a multi-stakeholder platform within the United Nations established to address trends and progress in international development cooperation.

Operating on a two-year cycle, it focuses on key areas such as enhancing the strategic role of development cooperation, improving effectiveness through partnerships, and leveraging South-South and triangular cooperation.

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) will host its 2025 Partnership Forum under the theme ‘Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for leaving no one behind.’

This year’s Forum will focus on five Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being); Goal 5 (Gender Equality); Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth); Goal 14 (Life Below Water); and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Despite progress, no country has yet achieved gender equality. Feminist movements and civil society organizations are crucial to drive change, yet they often operate with limited resources, especially in the Majority World. The rise of well-funded anti-rights movements and reductions in Official Development Assistance further challenge these efforts.

The Financing for Feminist Futures conference seeks to address these issues by gathering a diverse group of activists, policymakers, government representatives, members of civil society and private donors to get more and better funding for gender equality.

The Conference aims to support further and urgent action to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development and identify further ways and means to support the implementation of SDG 14.

The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development will bring together leaders of global financial institutions to discuss funding for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
