Background
UNDP is the development arm of the United Nations with the new integrator role relating to SDGs. UNDP advocates for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP Nigeria plays a key role in supporting the Government of Nigeria and her people in addressing development challenges, through policy advocacy, capacity building and strengthening and building institutions that promote inclusive sustainable development and democratic governance.
Achieving SDGs by all member States including Nigeria is a key development priority for UNDP and hence our focus on supporting Nigeria to achieve the development goals by 2030.
UNDP Nigeria, through its Strategic Policy and Inclusive Economic Growth unit, has embarked on several initiatives that supports this process. Two key components of these initiatives are (i) SDG Impact and (ii) Integrated Financing for SDGs. The basic objective of the SDG Impact initiative is to identify and generate data on SDG-enabling investments to redirect capital flows towards the achievement of the SDGs.
A key aspect of this would be to convene networks of investors, policymakers and development partners to catalyse local solutions for impact. Meanwhile, the Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) intends to support the implementation of nationally owned sustainable development financing strategies.
As the first step to roll-out the INFF process in Nigeria, UNDP will support the roll-out of a Development Finance Assessment (DFA) process to provide up to date overview of the current financing landscape in Nigeria. This will also aim at identifying opportunities to mobilize additional sources of finance as well as using existing financial resources more efficiently towards the SDG achievement.
