    SDG Alignment and Budget Tagging: Towards an SDG Taxonomy - Analysis for Colombia

    As part of the Decade of Action (2020-2030), the United Nations system began implementing

    the global initiative to strengthen national financing frameworks for the

    SDGs, known as Integrated National Financing Frameworks or INFF. A significant part

    of the analysis of all sources of financing for the SDGs is the public budget. This

    document presents guidelines for (i) aligning public budgets (and development cooperation)

    to the SDGs, and (ii) presents relevant inputs for developing local SDG taxonomies

    to explore public budget and private sector contribution to SDG Financing.

    The guidelines are presented in a step-by-step way to aid users in tailoring to local

    circumstances the analysis of SDG Financing and are based on the implementation of

    SDG budget tagging by the INFF-Colombia Joint Program.
