In early April, the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation brought together financing experts and leadership from five UN Country Teams (UNCTs) to brainstorm some of the best practices and innovations emerging from all UN Country Teams. The question raised was how these best practices might drive further innovation towards financing the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In a broader context, the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation has a committed programme focused on UN renewal; the idea that since the world at large has experienced significant change, the UN development system must embrace more dynamic approaches.
