ANNEXES
The above table situates the available public expenditure spent on each SDG (blue) in 
the context of estimated additional financing needs (orange). The costing estimates were 
established by the IMF, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, complemented by available costings 
for agriculture and education, according to sectoral strategies. This illustration does not 
account for the likely SDG interlinkages such as “the gender-education-health nexus” and 
“the climate-land-energy-water nexus”. It also does not integrate potentially large efficiency 
gains from improving governance and public finance management over time. It serves to 
illustrate the value of having a clear understanding of where the largest financing gaps 
remain according to the GoU’s policy priorities for the Agenda 2030. 
The table below matches the financing opportunities with the SDGs to which they are 
expected to contribute most, either by increasing available resources, or by improving the 
SDG alignment of existing resources. This can guide the prioritization of the SDG financing 
reforms that will be considered by the GoU.
