Out of the 70 countries worldwide that are using Integrated National Financial Frameworks (INFFs), half are on the African continent. The INFF Flagship in Africa supports African governments and their partners towards more holistic, integrated financing frameworks that bring together public and private financing, strengthen the integration of planning and financing processes, align budgets including debt and fiscal instruments to the national priorities and the SDGs, promote SDG-aligned private sector development and strengthen tools to monitor and account for SDG impact. In this context, UNDP’s SDG Finance is supporting:
