Building on the Addis Ababa Action Agenda adopted at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development in 2015, the "Seville Commitment" emphasizes revitalizing the global development financing framework and details a roadmap for action in seven areas: domestic public resources, domestic and international private sector and financing, international development cooperation and development effectiveness, international trade for development, debt and debt sustainability, international financial architecture and systemic issues, and science, technology, innovation, and capacity building. The "Seville Commitment" states: "We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to multilateralism and international cooperation, maintaining global solidarity on the basis of mutual respect and collective action."
