A decline in overseas development assistance is forecast for the coming year, and there is urgent momentum to focus on innovative financing mechanisms and transformative funding. Many of these models involve an expanding portfolio of contingent financing, payment by results and financial instruments such as sustainable development bonds. It is understood that there is a need for more investments at the national or regional levels with more reliance on multi-sector engagement. Panelists will consider the implications of diminishing access to humanitarian aid and consider how to create adaptive financing mechanisms in a bullish funding market.
