Overview
Join University of Antwerp one-week summer school, Finance 4 Development, and dive into the world of financial instruments driving global sustainable development!
This intensive course will explore how funding for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is structured, highlighting both the strengths and shortcomings of current financial mechanisms. You will learn about the gaps and challenges in designing, implementing, and ensuring the effectiveness of these instruments.
We take a unique approach, combining macro-economic and financial analysis with political economy perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of the complex environments in which these instruments operate. By zooming in on real-world cases and the latest trends in development finance, you'll gain insights into how public entities try to attract private flows in an attempt to address global challenges, from poverty reduction to climate change.
It’s worth highlighting that the timing of this summer school is strategically aligned to take place just before the 4th UN Finance for Development Conference (July 1st – July 3rd). The programme is specifically designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to actively engage with and follow the conference online.
Whether you’re specialised in economics, finance, political science, or development studies, this course provides an exceptional opportunity to enhance your expertise and skillset. Connect with like-minded peers, participate in dynamic discussions, and gain insights from renowned experts in the field.
