The document discusses financing for sustainable development goals (SDGs) that will require significantly more than the $135 billion currently available from official development assistance. Meeting the SDGs will need funding from billions to trillions due to the scale of investment required. Domestic resource mobilization will be key to closing this funding gap and includes improving tax administration, managing natural resources, limiting capital flight, and investing in infrastructure. Infrastructure projects in particular can have multiplier effects and increase economic growth and tax revenues to help fund further development. Significant annual global investments equivalent to 2.5% of GDP or $3-4 trillion will be needed in infrastructure such as roads, energy and water systems. Challenges include building capacity, preventing narrow interests from

available to fund their national development plans. A
country’s ability to mobilise domestic resources and
spend them effectively – at the national, sub-national
and municipal levels – lies at the crux of financing for
development.’
