UNDP supports governments to track and report SDG progress against declared national targets following successful integration of the SDGs into various budgetary policies, both within financial and non-financial performance metrics.
This service enables stakeholders (e.g. Ministries of Finance) to successfully monitor the progress and produce expenditure reports to serve as a platform for improved budgetary formulation for enhanced budgetary accountability. This can be particularly relevant in many protracted crises countries where the focus tends to be on domestic and international public finance in the immediate term, institutional capacities can be low and links between national development plans and budget processes can be weak.
