UN Oversight Committee Concludes The Third Session With Hopes Of Working Towards An INFF

On Wednesday, the UN Oversight Committee concluded the third session towards sustainable development with the Government of the Maldives. The session was concluded with bright hopes of moving forward with an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF).

 
INFF is a tool utilized by the United Nations to aid countries in strengthening the planning techniques used by different government bodies and overcome the financial hindrances to sustainable development. It aims to analyze the current financial implementations and decisions taken up by governments and propose ways to optimize national resources to yield the most efficient outcomes. This is all in the efforts to hasten the progress towards achieving the Agenda 2030.

 
The INFF in the Maldives centers around climate action and works closely with different branches of the UN such as World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Together with the research and evidence provided by these organisations, the government strives to overcome obstacles towards climate action and bring quality tertiary sector services into its national planning and financial concerns.
 
Through the INFF, it will help Maldives to formulate budget and resource mobility better via continuous monitoring and reviewing provided by the organisations. It will also aid in increasing investments in public and private sectors and establishing a coordinated and systemic policy making strategy with respect to finance.
