On 28 May, 15:30 to 17:00 CET, IOE and the ILO are organizing a Consultation with EBMOs on Financing for Development (FfD) in the era of COVID-19 and beyond.

COVID-19 has dramatically affected the world of work. National measures to contain the pandemic have required different types of workplace closures leading to high losses in working-hours. In 2020, 8.8 per cent of global working hours were lost relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, equivalent to 255 million full-time jobs.

The overarching objective of the exercise is to identify concrete, ambitious and actionable recommendations for financing a socioeconomic recovery. This consultation is expected to support FfD policy implementation and identify actions needed at both global and country levels that are aligned with the Cluster 2 ambitions.

The outcome of the consultations will be compiled and incorporated into the final set of recommendations that will be presented during a High-Level UN meeting expected to take place during the General Assembly in September 2021.
