The Covid-19 pandemic has buoyed calls for de-risking private finance to ensure that cash-strapped developing countries finance recovery plans. This session explores the implications of the WBG promotion of private finance-led recoveries for gender equality and sustainable development, and the lessons from the pandemic for harnessing private finance for development.

This session is co-sponsored by Eurodad, Nawi – Afrifem Macroeconomics Collective, Global Social Justice Program, LATINDADD, ITUC, Bretton Woods Project, FEMNET, AFRODAD,
SID, Oxfam International, Heinrich Böll Foundation
