Abstract

In the context of a macroeconomic stabilization program and enormous financial needs to implement developmental policies in the key areas of education, health and infrastructure, this paper discusses the potential of Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFF) to help the country effectively mobilize financial resources to implement its national sustainable development priorities. The paper first overviews Pakistan’s sustainable development policy priorities and progress, and it explains the concept and operationalization of INFF. Subsequently, the paper presents the results of a rapid assessment of the state of SDG financing in Pakistan based on a survey and two focus group discussions with a diverse group of 25 stakeholders from the public and private sectors. Based on this rapid assessment, the rest of the paper discusses challenges and opportunities, and provides policy recommendations, for the country to boost financing for sustainable development.
