Abstract
Based on a critical analysis of the financing for development (FfD) model established by the
Addis Ababa Action Agenda, this article shows how that FfD model is structurally neoliberal,
contributing to the literature that views the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a new
phase of the Neoliberal Development Agenda (NDA), which has been consolidated as hegemonic
within the international development (ID) field in recent decades. In this way, considering
philanthrocapitalism as an ideological framework that proposes its own diagnoses and prognoses,
we analyse various discourses of five philanthrocapitalist institutions (PIs) and two major
international organisations in the arena of ID —the OECD (Paris Declaration on Aids and
Effectiveness, and Accra Agenda for Action) and the UN (2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development)—
to point how PIs legitimate themselves. This article shows how philanthrocapitalism has been
constituted not only as a key element within the current model of FfD but also as a genuine
neoliberal artefact; that is, a device designed to perfectly encapsulate the NDA apparatus and
scrupulously fostered by the discourse of international agencies to contribute to the metaobjective
of consolidating the neoliberal model as hegemonic in the ID arena.
