Intro to INFFs

A quick overview of what INFFs are, how they can help policymakers, the main elements of each building block, and lessons from early INFF implementors.


An integrated national financing framework (INFF) helps countries strengthen planning processes and overcome existing impediments to financing sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the country level. It lays out the full range of financing sources – domestic and international sources of both public and private finance – and allows countries to develop a strategy to increase investment, manage risks and achieve sustainable development priorities, as identified in a country’s national sustainable development strategy. 

This brief provides a quick overview of what INFFs are, how they can help policymakers, the main elements of each building block, and lessons from early INFF implementors.
