The report begins its assessment of progress with an analysis of the global macroeconomic context (chapter I), which sets the economic framework for implementation efforts. Drawing on the findings from a number of substantive workstreams set up in response to mandates in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, a thematic chapter in this report addresses how the Addis Ababa Action Agenda responds to the challenges outlined in this document. It also focuses on issues that cut across all chapters, including investment, social protection, gender, and other cross-cutting issues, and provides policy options on each of them. Progress in the seven areas of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and data issues are further discussed, some key issues highlighted and policy options presented. The major institutional stakeholders of the financing for the development process, including the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, took a central role, jointly with the Financing for Development Office of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, which also served as the coordinator of the Task Force and substantive editor of the report.
