The development finance assessment (DFA) identifies opportunities to improve the performance of the available development financing and to mobilize additional funding. The DFA was conducted by the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting with the support of UNDP in the framework of the implementation of the Joint UN Programme “Promoting strategic planning and financing for sustainable development at the national and regional levels in Ukraine” before the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine. However, the conclusions and recommendations for sustainable development remain relevant during and after the war.
The analytical reports developed based on the results of DFA at the national and regional level contain the following components:
- overview of strategic planning in the country at the national and regional levels;
- brief description of the economy and financial system in Ukraine at the national level and in Donetsk and Kherson at the regional level;
- analysis of the budget: planning, revenues, expenditures;
- budget monitoring and fiscal transparency;
- analysis of the sources of financing: international assistance, private investment, investment by state enterprises;
- tools for facilitating private investment;
- conclusions and recommendations directed at increasing development financing from all the sources.
The report presents the findings of the DFA for Ukraine as of 2021. The collected data are a solid basis for the National Recovery and Development Plan, which will enable a just, inclusive, green, and digital recovery of the country.
