EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The UNDP Development Finance Assessment (DFA) is a tool to identify opportunities 
to mobilize additional finance sources and use existing financial resources more 
efficiently to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Misalignment between 
the planning and finance policy functions of government, a narrow focus on public resources 
to finance the SDGs, and the participation of only a narrow group of stakeholders in the 
SDG financing dialogue and decision-making process are key challenges in many countries, 
including Uzbekistan. Through a process of informed dialogue, a DFA offers support for 
governments and their partners in identifying and building consensus around priority 
solutions to address these important financing challenges.
Uzbekistan’s first DFA assesses the country’s SDG financing architecture.
It addresses 
critical knowledge gaps around the volume and trends of available development finance in 
the country considering current SDG progress and the impact of the unfolding COVID-19 
crisis. It provides the context analysis for the UN SDG Fund’s two-year Joint Programme 
(2020-2022) to implement priority SDG financing reforms in Uzbekistan. Finally, it aims to 
inform progress towards adopting an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF), in 
support of a cohesive, nationally owned sustainable development strategies, as per the 
Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
