Background
As we approach the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Spain in June 2025, the importance of aligning financing with national development priorities has never been clearer. Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) provide a comprehensive approach for countries to mobilize and align public and private investments with their policy frameworks, ensuring that financial flows are effectively channeled towards sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The Third Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) for FfD4 offers a unique opportunity to showcase the complementarity of INFFs with other country-led platforms and strategies. Countries such as Egypt, Barbados, and Brazil have developed or are implementing financing strategies and investment plans that integrate financing with policy frameworks, demonstrating how such alignment can improve the effectiveness and impact of development investments. As sovereign strategies for financing and by facilitating better coordination among governments, international financial institutions (IFIs), multilateral development banks (MDBs), and other development partners, respectively, INFFs and country platforms can work hand in hand to close financing gaps, align investment with the SDGs and accelerate progress.
