At the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Sevilla, Hivos co-hosted a powerful side event titled “Financing for Development and Gender Equality: A Feminist Agenda for Action for Sevilla and Beyond.” The session brought together ministers, feminist activists, and development partners from across the globe. While the overall outcomes of the conference left much to be desired, this gathering reaffirmed that there is still strong political leadership and commitment to financing gender equality.
