The financing landscape assessment paints a comprehensive picture of existing sources and types of finance and their respective contributions to sustainable development. Alongside the financing needs assessment (which focuses on the demand side), it supports the identification of financing gaps to be closed by a financing strategy. It can highlight opportunities for increased and/or more aligned and effective financing, enhanced risk management, and identify leakages and under-resourced sectors and priorities.
Developed by the IATF, this document provides guidance on implementing financing landscape assessments within the context of an INFF.
Analysing the financing landscape entails (i) a comprehensive assessment of all types of finance (public and private, domestic and external) and their trends, and (ii) a disaggregated analysis of their availability for nationally identified development priorities and the SDGs. The guidance materials introduce the main steps for conducting and assessment and collates tools and helpful experiences from domestic and international actors.
