The Development Finance Assessment (DFA) Guidebook, outlines a process for supporting governments and their partners to take a more integrated approach to SDG financing.  

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 financing dialogue and decision-making are key challenges in many contexts.  

The DFA helps address these through a process of informed dialogue led by a national oversight team, involving a broad constituency of actors from across government, the private sector and financial institutions, development partners and other non-state stakeholders.
