As a first step in the INFF process, the Government of Vanuatu is undertaking a development finance assessment (DFA) to identify possible financing solutions and build consensus among a core constituency of actors on priority actions to unlock and mobilise new sources of financing and enhance the alignment of existing financing with national development priorities. The focus is on several key issues, including (i) alignment of the national budget with the NSDS; (ii) digitalisation, including e-fiscalisation; (iii) parliamentary scrutiny over financing; (iv) energy reform; and (v) leveraging remittances for development.
