Noteworthy are such initiatives as the International Financing Facility.

Some countries will implement the International Finance Facility. Some countries have launched the International Finance Facility for immunization.

apos (c) Alternative sources of financing (such as the Global Environment Facility) will be considered

Action is needed on innovative financing, including the International Finance Facility (IFF) and an airline ticket levy.

We strongly support pursuing the establishment of such a facility, including refinancing mechanisms.

The GEF is the only multipurpose financing facility for MEAs.

(a) Potential for extending the existing trade financing facility of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) to the Central Asian Republics

Due to its special status, South Africa has applied for funding from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF).

In this way the funding expected from GEF would supplement the efforts made at those two levels.

The Secretary General has endorsed the International Finance Facility to raise short term funding for development we are working hard to deliver a positive G 7 8 endorsement.

How soon can agreement on the proposed International Finance Facility be reached by the necessary minimum number of donors?

As such, it is the only multipurpose, multi convention financing facility for MEAs.

Subsets of countries also had a role to play, for example by signing up to the international finance facility.

The various sources of financing for development could be complementary, particularly the international financing facility and the global tax.

In addition, new and innovative sources of financing, including the International Finance Facility, and debt conversion for the implementation of MDG projects should be strongly encouraged.

We are in no doubt that less bureaucratic, and more effective global funding mechanisms, such as the Global Environmental Facility, are essential.

The restructuring of the Global Environment Facility had gone some way towards resolving the problem relating to the financing mechanism.

South Africa applied to IMF for a loan under its Compensatory and Contingent Financing Facility.

As of 30 November 1992, three land locked countries had made purchases under the Compensatory and Contingency Financing Facility.

This is one of the main aims of global taxation mechanisms, such as the International Finance Facility initiative and the Airplane Tax.

A facility has been created to co finance projects by associations of migrants living in France in their villages or regions of origin, and co development schemes are progressively being set up with main partner countries, which are countries of emigration to France.

Mali therefore supported initiatives such as the International Finance Facility, Action against Hunger and Poverty and the pilot project for an airline ticket tax.

Innovative funding arrangements, such as the proposed International Finance Facility designed to front load ODA disbursement, are institutional initiatives that could benefit from an environment of improved aid effectiveness.

We welcome the launching of the International Finance Facility for immunization as well as the planned levies on airline tickets, which Morocco has officially endorsed in full.

One option could be to liberalize access to the Compensatory Financing Facility, liberalize its conditionality and introduce a subsidy element into it for low income countries.
