The IBC on Equitable Growth and Financing for Development (IBC-EGFFD) is dedicated to supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, enhancing the capacities of UN entities, and fostering peer learning and cooperation across the UN system.

In the area of Equitable Growth, the IBC aims to share knowledge and distill good practices in key areas: economic growth, shared prosperity, social protection, economy of care, and inclusive social and labor policies, with an emphasis on promoting national social dialogue processes for socioeconomic prosperity. Specifically, the IBC aims to:

  • Strengthen the capacities of the UN entities working in the region to identify and address critical development issues related to the creation of productive jobs and decent work, tackling inequalities, and supporting equitable growth.

  • Facilitate peer learning across the UN through the identification and dissemination of best practices related to tackling inequalities and supporting equitable growth.

In the area of Financing for Development, the IBC aims to identify a set of actionable policy measures at the multilateral, regional, and national levels, with the following objectives and areas of focus:

  • Support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals at the regional level.

  • Address issues of cross-border, subregional, regional, and common interest and benefit.
