The Government of Belarus is using the INFF process to assess the efficiency of strategic planning and spending, identify budget gaps and prioritise long-term expenditures related to national SDG targets.
The government aims to improve transparency and public financial management through strengthened programming, result-based budgeting and in-depth analyses of financial flows. Through the INFF, the government will strengthen linkages between SDG cost planning, budget allocation and monitoring and evaluation at all levels of government.
Activities include (a) costing SDG-related strategies; (b) establishing an SDG performance-based budget tagging system; (c) developing guidance for SDG programme-based budgeting practices across ministries and administrative levels; (d) undertaking SDG-related expenditure reviews and assessments; and (e) introducing a gender-sensitive budgeting methodology.
