In this note, the focus is on how INFF can support governments in achieving their Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) objectives. In 2022, governments, through the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development, committed to supporting the implementation of INFF to align financing policies and strategies with national investment priorities, legal frameworks, and disaster risk and sustainable development strategies consistent with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, and the Paris Agreement’s long-term goals.

About INFF technical guidance documents 

In response to the considerable and growing interest from countries to receive further guidance and support to design the INFFs, additional technical guidance documents, built on existing global guidance, are now published to provide practical support to INFF country-level implementation.

The technical guidance documents are tailored to specific country contexts, SDG sectors, and financing policy areas, all benefiting from initial insights and country experiences. The documents are intended to assist policymakers in the identification of sectoral and country group challenges, and policymaking that finance the national sustainable development objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the INFFs.

The technical guidance documents strengthen the feedback loop between country-level implementation on the one hand, and global guidance work and technical assistance and capacity development efforts on the other. The documents will continue to be living documents, and will be updated as country experience, insight, and learning about the application of the INFF approach to the challenges of financing the SDGs at the country level keeps progressing.
