Morocco to Host MDB Reform Conference in Sept.

Morocco will host, on September 11-12, a conference to put forward ideas of the Global South in the multilateral development banks (MDBs) reform agenda, according to the Center for Global Development (CGD).
The conference will be co-organized by the CGD, the Policy Center for the New South (PCNS), and the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee (RBWC).
Academics, think tank experts, and policymakers will take part in the conference.
The CGD and PCNS alongside the Centro Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais (CEBRI), the Center for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP), the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), and the Shanghai Institute for International Studies (SIIS) have joined forces to launch the MDB Reform Accelerator.
The MDBs and international financial institutions more broadly played a key role in providing more funding dedicated to building resilience, preventing shocks, and mitigating the impact of recurrent crises through concessional finance, project finance, and close country monitoring, said the CGD.
MDB Reform Accelerator is mobilizing the evidence-based analysis and strategic outreach needed to ensure MDB reform delivers real results for development, climate, and other global challenges.
