Integrated National Financing Frameworks

Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) enable countries to strengthen financial planning and mobilize public and private capital to meet their sustainable development objectives. UNDP’s support for INFF development lays the foundation for countries to finance their SDG targets and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in line with the Paris Agreement. In addition, UNDP supports country platforms anchored in countries' INFFs, bringing partners together to turn national priorities into coordinated investments.

To date, 90 countries are using the INFF approach to strengthen financing for sustainable development. Thirty-one national and subnational governments have operational financing strategies, and more than 65 countries are implementing reforms shaped through their INFF. Analysis of these reforms finds that $56 billion in new finance has been leveraged for sustainable development investment, with a further $49 billion aligned or with scope for alignment. 

INFFs lay out countries’ full range of financing sources – domestic and international, public and private finance – and shape strategies to increase investment, manage risk and implement sustainable development strategies. UNDP provides leadership and technical expertise to governments in designing INFFs tailored to each country’s unique sustainable development context.
