Finance in Common project
Strengthen civil society engagement with public development banks through inclusive dialogue and participation in development finance forums.
The objective is to promote development financing that respects human rights and addresses the needs of the most vulnerable populations. Since 2020, Forus has coordinated more than 200 CSOs to make financing more inclusive, transparent, and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This project seeks to amplify the voices of local communities and actors from the Global South, while promoting stronger democratic governance and inclusive mechanisms for development cooperation.
