Concept notes and papers
This consultation was convened as part of the broader “Road to Seville: The Local Way” initiative, a participatory process leading up to the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in June 2025. In this context, the youth consultation offered a space for young leaders, entrepreneurs, and representatives to engage in dialogue on financing challenges and solutions from a local perspective. It facilitated the sharing of best practices, innovative approaches, and practical tools, and contributed to a global synthesis of youth-led case studies that highlight the transformative potential of localized development finance in accelerating inclusive and sustainable development.
