The Country Financing Roadmap (CFR) for SDGs initiative is part of the Government of Ghana’s efforts to identify, quantify and develop strategies to bridge the country’s SDG financing gap. 

This report presents the process, analysis and findings of the CFR. Section 1 describes the current state of Ghana's economy. Section 2 describes Ghana's SDG strategy, status and financing landscape, including quantifying the cost and shortfall of financing the SDGs by 2030. 

The Ghana CFR is designed to foster consensus through a multistakeholder approach - involving public-sector institutions, thought leaders, investors, development finance institutions and other actors - to unlock capital and financing that will help the country achieve progress towards

meeting SDG goals. Led by the Government of Ghana, it aims to formulate a set of country-led action plans to encourage greater financing at scale, especially private-sector participation, towards its commitments to meet the SDGs.
