Integrated financing strategies
The 10-Year Strategy of United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) calls for the establishment of country-level integrated investment frameworks (IIFs) to finance comprehensive programmes on sustainable land management (SLM). The integrated financing strategy concept developed by the GM responds directly to this challenge.
An integrated financing strategy (IFS) is a process for developing a mix of financial resources to fund SLM-related projects and programmes. While supporting the development of domestic, external and innovative sources of finance for the country concerned, the strategy also uncovers potential barriers to resource identification, allocation and disbursement.
The Strategy highlights aspects in the policy, fiscal, legal, institutional and human resource environments that may hinder resource mobilization or programme execution. The strategy recommends actions to overcome these potential barriers. The end product of the IFS process feeds into the country’s integrated investment framework (IIF) for SLM, which defines all the financing partners, sources and indicates potential investment amounts.
The IFS builds on the country’s National Action Programme (NAP) process and is anchored in the national institutional setting and relevant programme and budgetary cycles.
