Over the last two years, countries faced unprecedented challenges that set-back progress toward the 2030 Agenda – an ambition that was already off track prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. Financing is a central consideration as countries look to sustainable, inclusive recovery and accelerated progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The results of this year’s INFF survey demonstrate how 86 countries are using the INFF as a driving force to establish a more sustainable financing architecture at the country level to channel finance where it is needed most.
As countries develop their INFFs, they are bringing together a wide constituency of public and private stakeholders in dialogue on SDG financing at the country level. They are putting in place new and strengthened financing strategies to integrate financing with the SDGs. And they are taking forward more than 250 reforms designed to mobilise and align public and private finance for sustainable development and strengthening systems and platforms for better governance, collaboration, monitoring and accountability of financing.
The next 12 months are key. Forty countries will develop their financing strategies and deliver a significant pipeline of priority financing reforms. There is high demand from countries to learn from one another and access technical support in implementing these ambitious agendas, including from the growing range of international partners and international financial institutions (IFIs) engaged in INFF processes.
This slide deck summarises information found in the 2022 State of INFFs report. It provides an overview of the way countries are using the INFF approach, the emerging results and the future outlook. The report draws from the results of the annual INFF survey conducted by UNDP on behalf of the INFF Facility in early 2022. It features data from 86 countries at different stages of their INFF.
