The “Financing for Sustainable Development Report” series, initiated in 2015, is a comprehensive benchmark report by the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development. It aims to evaluate and address global financing challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The series examines various financial landscapes, identifying gaps and proposing reforms to mobilise resources effectively.

The methodology involves extensive data collection, analysis, and collaboration among international financial institutions, development banks, and UN agencies. The purpose is to provide actionable insights and policy recommendations to governments, financial institutions, and other stakeholders.

Finance professionals can use this series to understand current trends, challenges, and opportunities in sustainable development financing. The reports offer a framework to guide investment decisions, align financial strategies with the SDGs, and support the creation of enabling environments for sustainable development.
