This meeting, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, marked the beginning of regular convenings by governments and international institutions to explore how to implement Global Public Investment as a new framework for global financing.
The convening was initiated by the Government of Uruguay, the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), and Club de Madrid, the world’s largest forum of democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers.
Over a dozen governments took part, with over a dozen more already interested in connecting with the process going forward. Regular convenings will take place across 2025, 2026, and 2027. The governments will work with civil society and international institutions to pilot and scale a framework for global public investment, through regional dialogues, policy research, and pilot projects. This inclusive approach will ensure that implementation reflects the requirements of international cooperation in the 21st century.
