Background
As we approach the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Spain in June 2025, the importance of aligning financing with national development priorities has never been clearer. Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) provide a comprehensive approach for countries to mobilize and align public and private investments with their policy frameworks, ensuring that financial flows are effectively channeled towards sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The Third Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) for FfD4 offers a unique opportunity to showcase the complementarity of INFFs with other country-led platforms and strategies and discuss how they can come together through the FfD4 outcome. As sovereign financing strategies and by facilitating better coordination among multilateral development banks (MDBs) and other international partners, respectively, INFFs and country platforms can work hand in hand to close financing gaps, align investment with the SDGs and accelerate progress.

- Highlight the alignment between investment plans and policy frameworks in select countries, demonstrating the complementarity of INFFs and similar approaches.
- Showcase how investments from IFIs, MDBs, and other sources can effectively align with national plans and financing strategies.
- Emphasize the role of INFFs in helping countries formulate and implement robust policy frameworks that align with SDG investments.
