Notes that an important use of international public finance, including official development assistance, is to catalyse additional resource mobilization from other sources, public and private, and through appropriately designed risk-sharing instruments, including co-investments, public-private partnerships and guarantees, and also notes that it can support improved tax collection, help to strengthen domestic enabling environments and build essential public services and can also be used to unlock additional finance through blended or pooled financing and risk mitigation, notably for infrastructure and other investments that support private sector development;

Stresses the importance of mobilizing greater domestic support towards the fulfilment of official development assistance commitments, including by raising public awareness, providing disaggregated data on aid effectiveness and demonstrating tangible results, encourages partner countries to build on progress achieved in ensuring that official development assistance is used effectively to help to achieve development goals and targets, also encourages the publication of forward-looking plans that increase the clarity, predictability and transparency of future development cooperation, in accordance with national budget allocation processes, and urges countries to track and report resource allocations for advancing gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls;

Calls upon the international community to ensure that official development assistance and support for fiscal capacity are targeted and scaled up for developing countries, and to increase investment in digital, care, quality of decent jobs, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including in digitalization, data collection and trade routes, in order to eradicate extreme poverty and make sustained progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals;

Welcomes that, according to data from 2023, official development assistance increased by 1.8 per cent in real terms from 2022 and that net bilateral official development assistance flows (country-to-country) to the least developed countries increased in real terms by 3 per cent in 2023 compared with 2022, but expresses concern that official development assistance was, on average, 0.37 per cent of the aggregate donor gross national income, below the commitment of 0.7 per cent, reiterates that the fulfilment of all official development assistance commitments remains crucial and that, for many least developed countries and landlocked developing countries, official development assistance remains the largest source of external financing, and therefore emphasizes the importance of the commitments made by many developed countries to achieve the national target of 0.7 per cent of gross national income for official development assistance to developing countries and 0.15 to 0.20 per cent of gross national income for official development assistance to the least developed countries, and urges developed countries to scale up and fulfil their official development assistance commitments;

Calls upon the international community to give priority to addressing the impacts of natural disasters, climate change, conflicts and major outbreaks of disease, which are severely hampering efforts to achieve poverty eradication and reduce inequality, in particular in developing countries;

Also calls upon the international community to accelerate actions to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure the realization of the right to adequate food for all, including through access to sufficient, safe and nutritious foods all year round, the promotion of sustainable and resilient agriculture and food systems, as well as safe, nutritious and healthy diets;

Recognizes the importance of addressing the diverse needs of and challenges faced by countries in special situations, in particular African countries, the least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States, as well as the specific challenges facing many middle-income countries and countries in conflict and post-conflict situations, and therefore requests the United Nations development system, the international financial institutions, regional organizations and other stakeholders to ensure that these diverse and specific development needs are appropriately considered and addressed, in a tailored fashion, in their relevant strategies and policies, with a view to promoting a coherent and comprehensive approach towards individual countries;

Welcomes the thirty-second commemoration, on 17 October 2024, of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, invites all States, organizations of the United Nations system, intergovernmental organizations concerned and interested national organizations, including non-governmental organizations, to consider organizing activities for the thirty-third commemoration, in 2025, of the International Day, in order to raise public awareness of efforts to promote the eradication of poverty and extreme poverty in all countries, and in this regard recognizes the useful role that the observance of the International Day continues to play in raising public awareness and mobilizing all stakeholders in the fight against poverty and promoting the active participation of those living in extreme poverty in the design and implementation of programmes and policies that affect them, with the aim of achieving the 2030 Agenda;
