29 April 2015: The Co-Facilitators of the preparatory process for the third International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD 3), Geir Pedersen of Norway and George Talbot of Guyana, have confirmed additional sessions for consultation on the draft Outcome Document of the conference. They also announced that they will issue a compilation of all views on the zero draft expressed during the second drafting session and comments submitted, along with the revised Draft Outcome.

The additional sessions are scheduled from 11-15 May and 26-29 May 2015, as well as 1-5 June if needed. They will take place in New York, US.

The revised draft text will be circulated prior to 11 May, the Co-Facilitators noted, and will be based on the comments received: during the second drafting session, which took place on 13-17 April 2015; during the Joint Session between the FfD 3 and post-2015 development agenda processes, which took place on 21-24 April 2015; and through other written inputs.
