SDG Policy Brief 1: SDG Financing

Under the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, the UN committed to continue to work on SDG financing and to support initiatives in this area. The UN has been supporting programme-based, gender, disability, and child-based budgeting. However, many gaps remain in understanding the composition of SDG financing. This policy brief aims to fill in some of the gaps, outlining a methodology for assessing Government expenditures against SDGs. It presents the results and findings, and recommendations on how to take the findings forward.
