A report from the World Bank calls for an expansion of actors and instruments and greater aid effectiveness in order to fund development needs in the post-2015 era. ‘Financing for Development Post-2015’ argues that “the world is experiencing a growing mismatch between available financing and investment needs.” The report is presented as input to the UN-led consultations on the post-2015 development agenda, with comments and contributions from across the World Bank Group (WBG) and the WBG Task Force for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Post-2015. According to the report, its writing was prompted by the report of the UN High-level Panel (HLP) on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (HLP), which notes the connection between the MDGs and the international community’s ability to support them.
