Kenya’s President William Ruto has called on the United States to reconsider its opposition to a key document outlining global commitments to reform development finance, seeing as a boost to funding for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A close ally of the US, particularly during former President Joe Biden’s tenure, Dr Ruto made the appeal during the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), convened by the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) in Seville, Spain, on Monday.
