Issue: Institutional Setup
Finding: Based on Rapid Integrated Assessment results, the Ministries of Economy and Finance established a joint task force to align National Priority Programs (NPPs) with SDGs. The task force reviewed each of those programs working together with line ministries tasked with oversight and implementation. The task force subsequently developed a matrix to align the National Priority Programs with SDGs by integrating NPPs results with the relevant 2030 Agenda targets and indicators. Task force outcomes identified the thematic contribution of NPPs to each SDG and aligned NPPs' thematic areas with SDGs' targets, clustering the result in budgetary sectors: agriculture, health, education, economy, social protection, infrastructure, security, and governance to facilitate its integration into fiscal planning.
