Is the World Keeping Up with
"Financing for Sustainable Development?"
12 APRIL 2022: Developing countries still have to regain lost ground from the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has put more countries at risk of debt distress, constrained their fiscal space and hampered economic growth. The war in Ukraine is exacerbating all these challenges. In this context, the 2022 Financing for Sustainable Development Report identifies a “great finance divide” – the inability of poorer countries to raise sufficient resources and borrow affordably for investment.

There are two facts the whole world can
agree upon.
​
One fact is that the duration of an
era referred to as a
“M i l l e n n i u m” is 1,000 Years.
​
Another undeniable fact is that there
certainly is . . .
​
“MUCH WORK TO
BE DONE”
​
“N O W”
and for many generations to come.
​
An applaudable accomplishment is to build
a house with all the necessities, comforts
and trimmings. But an even more
praiseworthy and rewarding
satisfaction is to
“s u s t a i n t h e h o u s e ”
and all of its benefits after it’s
been successfully built.
The same applaudable rewards and
satisfaction should also be sought
when efforts are made in terms of
successfully accomplishing
SDGs
“Sustainable Development Goals.”
​
As the world community has crossed
the threshold of a new Century and
Millennium, global situations
wherein Humanity’s poorest
of the poor is yet prevalent. Multitudes
of the poor and helpless are yet
languishing around the world in
utter neglect and stagnation.
The painful sufferings of
the poor - now before
the eyes of Nations
great and small - are stark reminders
of the need to unite with carefully
planned and achievable goals:
developmental objectives that can
result in “sustainable” outcomes
suitable for the benefit
and wellness
of Humanity as a whole.
​
The many willing and helping hands that
work to achieve sustainable ends are
the very hands that are shaping
a better world for future
generations – already with us today.
