There are big opportunities for development finance available to Zimbabwe. However, to unlock these, an enabling environment must be in place which bolster confidence in the investment community.
How to attract, sustain and mobilize investments, is the core of this presentation.
The audience is mainly targeted at government officials, policy advisers to the government particularly in economic affairs and political economy. The intention is to encourage the creation of enabling environment and attraction for development financing. This will boost economic growth, alleviate poverty and reduce unemployment.
This document discusses key topics related to financing for development, including:
1. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which aim to reduce poverty and promote economic development.
2. The role of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) in leveraging funding to support countries' development goals through financing, technical assistance, and policy advice. MDBs are able to commit $2-5 for every $1 invested by shareholders.
3. How different entities of the World Bank Group, including the IBRD, IDA, and IFC, provide loans, grants, and advisory services to support development in middle-income, low-
The document summarizes key points from an IFAD report on remittances sent to Africa. It identifies issues that require attention from multiple stakeholders and recommends further research. Specifically, it recommends disaggregating remittance data within countries and more research on informal remittance systems in Africa. It also discusses the ambiguous impact of remittances on poverty reduction and greater potential impact from complementary partnerships between market actors.
This presentation offers a brief introduction to the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals and the financial challenges in achieving them. It also provides a general overview of the different sources of finance for development – ODA, domestic resources and private finance – and ventures into the character of each of these options. The key message of the presentation is that whichever source of finance we choose from, they should be used in the most efficient and effective way possible. The presentation needs to be viewed as a slide show as it includes audio.

The document summarizes the challenges faced by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) in the Philippines in protecting temporary overseas Filipino workers. OWWA is funded through mandatory contributions from overseas workers and employers. It provides services like insurance, loans, education assistance and repatriation. However, it struggles with balancing service provision and fund stability on a limited budget. It also faces challenges in ensuring migrant worker representation, transparency and accountability of funds. Destination countries should also do more to protect temporary foreign workers.
Private development assistance (PDA) from foundations, corporations, and non-profits totals around $45-60 billion annually, roughly equal to official development assistance (ODA). PDA focuses on economic development and humanitarian needs through concessional loans and grants. While PDA bypasses some issues with ODA like corruption and strategic interests, it also lacks coordination, data, and accountability. Moving forward, the PDA community aims to develop effectiveness standards and link more closely with ODA institutions to help shape the post-2015 development agenda.
The document discusses remittances sent home by migrant workers and strategies for leveraging them for development. It notes that remittances have surpassed overseas development aid and foreign direct investment. It also provides statistics on top remittance receiving countries and discusses some challenges faced by diaspora organizations in implementing community projects in countries of origin.

Financial literacy has become a policy priority globally and is defined as having the awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors to make sound financial decisions and achieve financial well-being. Research shows that higher financial literacy is associated with positive outcomes. Evidence suggests that Cypriots have low levels of financial literacy, representing a challenge in Cyprus. Experts argue it is time for Cyprus to design and implement a national strategy to improve financial literacy.
This document discusses leveraging migration, remittances, and diaspora for financing sustainable development. It notes that remittances total $440 billion globally, with $135 billion going to developing countries in Africa and Venezuela paying exorbitantly high costs of 8-12% and 20% for transfers within Africa. The document outlines monitoring remittance flows, improving payment systems and access to financial services for migrants and recipients, developing capital market access for countries through diaspora bonds, and estimates that mobilizing remittances, savings, reducing fees could generate over $100 billion for development. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing links for further information.
1) The document discusses moving from viewing fragile situations as "fragile states" and instead focusing on "states of fragility" to acknowledge fragility as an issue that can affect any state.
2) It notes reducing poverty in fragile contexts will require building resilient institutions, as fragile states are less likely to achieve goals like the Millennium Development Goals.
3) The allocation of development assistance needs to be better targeted, as currently only a small portion goes to areas like security, justice and political reform that directly address fragility.
This document discusses the need for and recommendations around developing a national strategy for financial literacy in Cyprus. It defines financial education and literacy and highlights data showing widespread financial insecurity in Cyprus. Low financial literacy disproportionately impacts youth and is exacerbated by digitalization trends. An effective national strategy typically involves government leadership, coordination, funding, monitoring and targeting all age groups through education and behavioral insights. The document recommends Cyprus start this process by providing financial education in schools, protecting consumers, mandating a lead authority to develop a strategy, and collaborating across stakeholders.
This document discusses definitions of small states from an international relations perspective. It explores both quantitative parameters like population size and GDP as well as relational characteristics compared to other states. There are many proposed definitions but no universal agreement. Quantitative approaches define small states based on measurable criteria like having a population under a certain threshold. Relational approaches define small states as those that cannot exert significant influence alone compared to larger states. Both quantitative and relational characteristics are important for understanding the complexity of what constitutes a small state.
Financing for development refers to the management of money to fund development efforts, not the money itself. It involves using various financial instruments like grants, concessional loans, regular loans, guarantees, and equity investments tailored to countries' needs. For example, low-income countries receive grants and concessional loans while middle-income countries get regular loans. Financial institutions like the World Bank Group contribute funds and disburse them to support development projects.
The document discusses financing sustainable development in Africa. It outlines the Common African Position (CAP) on the post-2015 development agenda, which calls for improving domestic resource mobilization, innovative financing, and quality external financing partnerships. The document also examines Africa's economic transformation needs, including increasing agricultural productivity and revitalizing manufacturing. It analyzes trends in infrastructure financing from public-private partnerships, China, and other sources. Overall, the document emphasizes that domestic resource mobilization should be the priority and financial flows must consider broader development strategies and impacts.
This document discusses Botswana and some of its key social, economic, and environmental issues. It notes that Botswana has the highest economic growth rate in Africa, is the largest diamond producer by value, and is the least corrupt country on the continent. However, it also has very high HIV prevalence rates, though it was the first African nation to provide free antiretroviral treatment. While social programs have been implemented, communities are not fully benefiting and there are gaps in education and employment. The document calls for addressing issues like water scarcity, economic diversification beyond diamonds and tourism, climate change impacts, and strengthening technology and social development.
The effectiveness of the international financial system in advancing sustaina...SDGsPlus
The document discusses the effectiveness of the international financial system in advancing sustainable development. It notes that while financial flows to developing countries have increased to around $1 trillion annually, this is not enough to finance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It highlights that official development assistance has remained steady, but private sector resources and remittances have increased substantially in recent years. The document also examines areas like international financial regulation, reducing remittance costs, attracting foreign direct investment, and the need to focus on official development assistance, domestic resource mobilization, and harnessing the private sector to sustainably finance development.

The document summarizes information about the World Bank, including that it was established in 1944 and is headquartered in Washington D.C. It provides loans, grants, and technical assistance to developing countries for purposes like education, health, infrastructure, and more. Some key facts are that it has over 180 member countries, made its first loan of $250 million to France in 1947, and saw lending surpass $10 billion for the first time in 1979. The World Bank aims to fight poverty through financial and knowledge resources to help communities help themselves.

Experts Meeting Report To Confy Dennis Yaunrexcris
The document reports on an experts' meeting to establish a strategic plan for Filipino migrants over the next three years. The objective of the strategic plan is to maximize the role of Filipino diaspora in promoting good governance, sustainable development, cultural identities, social responsibility and solidarity. The strategic plan focuses on political, economic and socio-cultural strategies with key activities outlined under each, such as participation in political coalitions, entrepreneurship training, and cultural programs for youth.
International development aid aims to alleviate poverty but faces challenges. Foreign aid can get tied up paying off debts rather than helping communities. It also risks being misused if given to corrupt governments. Different types of aid include bilateral aid from one nation to another; multilateral aid from many nations through groups like the UN; and NGO aid from groups like Oxfam. Canada provides aid through CIDA to focus on sustainability and meaningful results.
This document discusses perspectives on foreign aid and development policy. It outlines different types of aid and perspectives on its effectiveness. There are seen to be three main perspectives: radicals who reject aid as post-colonial guilt; sceptics who believe aid often does more harm than good by creating dependencies and hindering free markets; and optimists who believe aid can be effective if countries have ownership over projects and goals. The document also discusses the Paris Declaration which established principles to improve aid effectiveness through country ownership, donor coordination, and mutual accountability.
Implementing a National Strategy for Financial EducationPanayiotis Andreou
The document discusses the need for a National Strategy for Financial Education in Cyprus. It notes that the pandemic has increased financial uncertainty and vulnerability at both the macro and personal levels. Evidence shows that financial education can help build financial resilience by empowering people to make informed financial decisions and reduce the negative externalities of financial illiteracy. Several grassroots financial education initiatives already exist in Cyprus, but a unified National Strategy is needed to coordinate these efforts and tackle financial illiteracy in a comprehensive way. The strategy should involve developing content, increasing capacity, utilizing community-led and media communication models, and collaborating with stakeholders, drawing from examples like the US and India's national strategies.
FAO is well positioned to support investment in food and agriculture due to its political mandate, global knowledge repository, technical expertise, and network. Most agricultural investment comes from farmers themselves and governments, though new opportunities exist to attract private capital to help close the $3.76 trillion annual funding gap to achieve the SDGs. FAO facilitates strategic partnerships and provides support through investment programming and policy advice, capacity development, and knowledge sharing to attract investment from sources like the World Bank and IFAD into country projects focused on food security, smallholder inclusion, and natural resource management.
Islamic Finance, the SDGs & Impact InvestingSDGsPlus
The presentation discusses how Islamic finance can help support the UN's 2030 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides an overview of the SDGs and the large financing needs to achieve them. Islamic finance principles of risk sharing and asset-backed financing align well with mechanisms to mobilize private capital like public-private partnerships for infrastructure. The presentation also explores opportunities for Islamic finance in impact investing. It argues Islamic finance could play a meaningful role in achieving the SDGs both on its own and by complementing conventional financing approaches and mechanisms.
This presentation is targeting international private sector companies with an interest in investing in new markets but which are hesitating to invest in fragile and conflict affected states (FCS) due to the risks involved. This presentation demonstrates that despite the challenges present in Myanmar as an FCS, there are significant opportunities to be gained as evidenced by the growth of the telecoms sector, and the PSW, particularly MIGA and it’s CEFEF, provide an effective starting point for entering this market.

In general, a bond is basically a debt security instrument with an original maturity date of more than 1 year and is also tradeable in the financial markets. A Diaspora bond (Db) is a bond issued by a country to its expatriate citizens' resident in the Diaspora to tap into their accumulated savings. It is an alternative to borrowing from the global financial institutions, capital markets or bilaterally from other governments. The idea of tapping into migrant wealth is not new. The practise of issuing Diaspora bonds dates back to the early 1930s with the first issuers being Japan and China followed in the 1950s by Israel and later by India in the 1990s. The Israeli bonds have been a success story and are estimated to have mobilised an estimated $25 billion in the past 30 years. According to statistics, Israel’s Diaspora bonds accounted for 20-35% of its outstanding external debt between 1983 and 2003.

Unlocking financial opportunities in somaliachibenc
This document provides information on Somalia, including its location, climate, population, economy, and opportunities for unlocking financial investment. Somalia has a strategic coastal location, hot desert climate, and population of over 10 million people who are mostly ethnically Somali. The country lacks strong central governance and suffers from poverty, conflict, and underdevelopment. However, there are opportunities to mobilize public, private and blended financing from sources like taxes, natural resources, remittances, foreign investment, and public-private partnerships to fund needed infrastructure development. The government and private sector both have roles to play in realizing Somalia's potential.
This document discusses trends in development and risk financing. It notes that insurance plays an important role as a carrier of risk, investor, and in reducing the impacts of unmanaged risk on development. While insurance covered $92 billion in losses from 2017 disasters, the protection gap remains large. Insurance also has potential as an investor, but there is a $2.5 trillion annual investment gap. UNDP has over 25 initiatives promoting microinsurance, sovereign insurance, and using insurance to support development goals. Moving forward, UNDP aims to develop global flagships tailored to regions, specific country offers, and partnerships to further promote insurance for development.
This document summarizes a proposal for Community Development Venture Capital Funds in West Africa. It discusses how microfinance has limitations and philanthropy is not focused on economic development. The funds would provide equity, near-equity, and debt investments for private sector projects in areas like agriculture, infrastructure, and small businesses. This aims to encourage enterprise and job creation through financial support for initiatives that traditional sources fail to fund. The funds would operate according to principles of community economic development and socially responsible investing.
The rise of the middle class is also likely to boost returns in Africa over the next several decades. IFC expects Africa’s combined middle and high-income groups to reach 160 million people by 2030. That’s an increase of about 100 million, more than the entire population of Germany.

About unsgsa her majesty queen maxima of the netherlandsDr Lendy Spires
Queen Máxima of the Netherlands is the UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. She advocates increasing access to financial services for individuals and businesses globally. As the Special Advocate, she focuses on expanding financial inclusion, responsible lending practices, data collection to monitor progress, and harnessing financial inclusion to support national development goals and the post-2015 agenda.

Capital formation is the process of increasing a country's capital assets through investing in productive infrastructure and equipment. This promotes economic development by raising productivity, technological progress, and standards of living. In developing countries, capital formation relies on both domestic and external resources. Domestically, capital comes from voluntary savings, involuntary savings (e.g. taxes), government borrowing, and utilizing idle resources. Externally, foreign economic assistance such as loans and grants are important sources of capital that help bridge savings gaps, increase employment and productivity, and provide access to new technologies. While necessary, capital alone is not sufficient for development - other factors like education, government effectiveness, and social attitudes also significantly influence economic progress.
This document discusses the challenges young people face in accessing financial services globally, particularly in developing countries. It notes that less than 5% of youth have savings accounts due to barriers like lack of youth-friendly regulations and products. The UN is working to promote youth financial inclusion through programs that provide financial literacy training and help open over 110,000 savings accounts. Moving forward, a multi-stakeholder approach is needed involving governments, organizations and youth themselves to develop inclusive policies and appropriate services to overcome barriers facing young people.
Young people in developing countries face significant challenges transitioning to adulthood due to high unemployment, HIV/AIDS orphaning many youth, and lack of opportunities. This is exacerbated by the unprecedented population growth over the next 20 years in these regions. Providing youth access to financial services and financial literacy training can help them build assets, start businesses, and escape poverty by making their own economic decisions. However, less than 5% of youth currently have savings accounts due to barriers like lack of youth-friendly financial products and low financial capability. The UN is working to increase financial inclusion of youth through programs and partnerships focused on developing tailored financial services, integrating financial education into curricula, and advocating for youth-inclusive policies and regulatory

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Facing famine in somalia v2
1. Facing Famine in
Somalia
participant final project on
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Financing for Development
(FFD): Unlocking Investment Opportunities!
2. • Somali population is facing a famine risk,
again;
• UNICEF pointed that 35,400 children
suffering from severe acute malnutrition
(SAM) were treated at nutrition centres
across Somalia in January and February, a
58% increase over the same period in 2016;
• In 2011 -12 Somalia experienced the worst
famine of the twenty-first century which
resulted in the loss of 258,000 human lifes*
• Due to the many difficulties the country
faces, such as ungovernable state,
terrorism, foreign explorations; many
development financing strategies may be
not feasible at this moment, and probably
helping citizens rebuild and strength their
national identity would have an
important impact on long term prosperity.
*(Maxwell, Majid, Adan, Abdirahman, Kim, 2016).
3. • Financing development in fragile and conflitc-affected situations (FCS) is
especially challenging once the investment risk perception in this countries are
notably higher than in other countries;
• Observing that multilateral agencies plays a critical role on mitigating risks and
catalysing investments;
• The Develpment Finance Forum, in Dublin (2016) discussed many possibilities that
should be considered on Somalias issues. Bellow are some of them:
Guarantees by Internationa
Financial Institutions
Scaling up the use of insurances, such as
MIGA provide political risk mitigation for
international investors;
Opening this insurance to domestic investor
including SME would help sharp resilience
and long term transformations.
Crowdfunding/ investing and
local currency loans
Crowdfundind/investing is considered a
good due to its transparency, the
effectiveness for remittances and to build
community and social cohesion;
Local currency loans reduce entrepeneur
risks significantly. Developing hedge
instruments might help develop local
financial markets and provide long-term
horizon to entrepreneurs.
Regulatory Enviroment
Establishing international norms for conduct
and transparency is important helps improve
business enviroment, protect countries
natural resources and prevent ilicit capital
flows and activities. Combatting Ilegal
fishing in Somalia is na example that would
attract local investments.
Promoting the set of custos and values, as
well as their culture manifestations helps
create an integrated informal intitution
4. • Somalis are facing extremelly hard situations for long
years;
• Located in a strategic geografic place they suffered from
foreign explotations, corruption, and natural constraints;
• Despite that they remain resilient and should not be
considered a falied nation that need to be supported
forever;
• Instead that valorize and promote their culture and
impportance to the world must be the driver of all actions
that wish to be humanitarian.
