Ethiopia Participates in 4th Int’l Conference on Financing for Development in Spain

Addis Ababa, June 30, 2025 (ENA) --- Ethiopian delegation led by Minister of Agriculture, Girma Amente is participating in the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) currently taking place in Seville, Spain, from June 30 to July 3, 2025.

The conference brings together Heads of states, high-level representatives from governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society to discuss on financing strategies for sustainable development.

In addition to delivering statements on key development issues, Ethiopia’s delegation will engage in several side events focused on various areas.  

The head of Ethiopian delegation, Minister Girma, will deliver a presentation on Ethiopia’s flagship “Bounty of Basket” initiative, at a side event organized by the Global Alliance Against Poverty and Hunger—where Ethiopia serves as a board member of the Champions Alliance established under Brazil’s G20 Chairmanship.

 

This transformative agricultural program focuses on enhancing food security, boosting productivity, and promoting climate-resilient farming practices in Ethiopia.

In addition, Ethiopia’s Agriculture Minister will highlight other major initiatives currently underway in the country aimed at ensuring national food security and advancing sustainable agricultural development.

Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) is expected to propose concrete solutions and strategic directions to overcome financing challenges—widely recognized as one of the primary obstacles to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

 

It is worth recalling that Ethiopia successfully hosted the Third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa in 2015, a landmark event that resulted in the adoption of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.

The outcomes of  FfD4 are expected to build on this foundation, advancing global efforts to mobilize the resources needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
