 SESRIC, as a founding member of the Forum, will participate in the meetings of the International Forum on Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD) to be held in Paris, France, on 16-18 March 2026. The programme will include the 2nd Meeting of the Statistical Working Group on 16-17 March 2026 and the 5th Meeting of the Steering Group on 17-18 March 2026. The meetings will bring together members and stakeholders of the Forum to advance methodological and strategic discussions on TOSSD as an international framework for measuring officially supported resources in support of sustainable development.
Discussions during the meetings will cover a range of important issues, including the eligibility in TOSSD of core support to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the inclusion of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) and balance of payment support in TOSSD, refined guidance on reporting SDG 16-related support, trade support and export credits, the communications and outreach outcomes in 2025 and plans for 2026, as well as the draft IFT Budget and Work Plan 2027-2030.
Through its participation in these meetings, SESRIC will contribute to the ongoing international efforts to further strengthen the TOSSD framework, improve transparency in development finance, and support the effective measurement of resources provided for sustainable development. The discussions are also expected to contribute to future work on improving TOSSD reporting standards, data quality, outreach, interoperability, and the broader post-2030 development finance agenda.
