Sustainable FP Financing and Agenda 2030 : Emerging Approaches and ToolsJoachim Chijide
Presentation made by Dr Joachim Chijide on Sustainable Family Planning Financing and Agenda 2030 : Emerging Approaches and Tools at the 2nd Sexual and Reproductive Health Community of Practice (SeRHCoP) Webinar, 23rd September 2021
This report summarizes progress made in 2014-2015 by the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition and Grow Africa partnerships. It finds that governments have made progress on policy reforms related to agriculture, but more time is still needed for full implementation. Development partners committed $6.3 billion in funding and disbursed $3.2 billion. Private companies invested over $684 million through 292 letters of intent, reaching over 8 million smallholders. Enabling actions also supported efforts to improve the agricultural environment, though tangible support has been mostly in the form of grants. Overall progress has been made, but continued work is still required to achieve agricultural transformation goals in Africa.
This document provides an overview of national contraceptive funding landscapes and perspectives from global and national levels. It discusses investments from key organizations like UNFPA Supplies and the national basket fund.

The document recommends increasing domestic funding, finalizing state procurement guidelines, and improving commodity security and sustainability.
Kenya Mobilizing financial resources needed for health in the SDG eraDeepak Mattur
- In 2015 the UN General Assembly formally accepted a new set of 17 measurable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ranging from ending world poverty to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls by 2030. The SDG target 3 encompasses 9 sub targets focussed on ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all. These goals set by the proposed SDGs are ambitious and challenging. It will not be achieved with a business-as-usual approach.
- ODA in Kenya: In 2013, ODA for Health reached its highest level at US$ 934 million. However, the outlook of future aid to Kenya remains flat.
- The share of government expenditure on health in Kenya has not shown a commensurate increase with its increase in GDP. The share has actually declined from 46% of the Total Health Expenditure in 2000 to 46% in 2000. Government needs to increase its share of health expenditure to meet the rising healthcare demands.
- At current level of health expenditure at US$ 1.9 BN, there exists an annual funding gap of US$ 1.4 BN to meet the needs of Healthcare services.
- Kenya needs to consider several instruments of innovative financing in order to achieve its financing needs for Health. Some of the potential options presented in this digital artefact are raising additional taxes, Debt-swaps and social bonds.
- There is a hope that Kenya will make a paradigm shift in its approach to health financing and the Healthcare financing gap in Kenya will be filled in with additional sources generated through innovative financing instruments.

Mongolia's performance in innovation has been mixed compared to other countries in Central Asia. While Mongolia ranks 55th in the Global Innovation Index in 2016, access to credit for innovation is likely more difficult than estimated. Chile provides a model for how a mining economy can successfully support innovation through targeted industry policies. Chile invested in sectors like salmon, pine trees, berries through subsidies and credit lines. It also emphasized public-private partnerships between universities, companies and consortiums. This helped Chile diversify its economy and become a leading exporter in several industries. The summary suggests Mongolia could learn from Chile's experience in fostering innovation through financing mechanisms, partnerships and support for targeted industries.

This document provides an overview of Grow Africa, a partnership launched in 2011 to mobilize private sector investment in African agriculture aligned with national agricultural development plans. It discusses Grow Africa's focus on tackling poverty and hunger through inclusive agricultural investment and its approach of partnering for transformative collective action.

Donors pledged over $22 billion over 3 years at the 2009 L'Aquila G7 Summit to address global food security through the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative (AFSI). The donors committed to align investments with country-led plans, pursue comprehensive approaches, strengthen strategic coordination, leverage multilateral institutions, and make sustained commitments. By 2012, donors had committed 99% and disbursed 58% of the $22 billion pledge. Sub-initiatives of AFSI are investigating ways to increase transparency and monitor commitments on agricultural research funding and the impact of funds spent in select countries on reducing poverty and stunting.
FAO is well positioned to support investment in food and agriculture due to its political mandate, global knowledge repository, technical expertise, and network. Most agricultural investment comes from farmers themselves and governments, though new opportunities exist to attract private capital to help close the $3.76 trillion annual funding gap to achieve the SDGs. FAO facilitates strategic partnerships and provides support through investment programming and policy advice, capacity development, and knowledge sharing to attract investment from sources like the World Bank and IFAD into country projects focused on food security, smallholder inclusion, and natural resource management.

The goal is to help 1.7 million Malawians emerge from poverty by 2022 and reduce child stunting. Private sector will invest in priority crops and G8 members will support areas like extension services, irrigation, and nutrition.
Donors will provide harmonized support for country-led agriculture and food security planning processes aligned with CAADP in 3 stages:
1) Engagement and partnership development to support national planning processes
2) Evidence-based planning through capacity building and financing analytical studies
3) Building investment alliances by endorsing compacts, aligning programs, and co-financing investment programs.
Donors will also coordinate at international levels by improving coordination mechanisms, advocating for CAADP, and ensuring policy coherence for African agriculture.
The document discusses financing sustainable development goals (SDGs) through innovative finance solutions. It notes that achieving the SDGs will require scaled up investment and aligning financial flows with sustainable objectives. It introduces India's Umbrella Programme on Natural Resource Management (UPNRM) which provides loan and grant funding to promote community-based sustainable natural resource management projects. The UPNRM aims to shift financing from grants to loans and has funded over 300 projects across India in sectors like agriculture, watershed development, and renewable energy. Key learnings include the need for better market research and access to ensure project viability.

This document outlines actions that poor and rich countries should take ahead of the 2010 MDG Review Summit. Poor countries are urged to undertake progress analyses, develop national plans to accelerate MDG progress, localize the MDGs, improve resource management, regularly monitor progress, increase accountability, and strengthen parliamentary roles. Rich countries should fulfill aid commitments, increase aid effectiveness, reform trade policies, and report on MDG commitment progress. The Millennium Campaign believes the MDGs can be achieved if countries demonstrate strong ownership and commitment backed by adequate resources and accountability.
During the webinar, the speakers promoted a set of training materials that is freely available for those interested in learning more about the implementation of NDCs in the agriculture sector in Africa.

FAO 28th Regional Conference for Africa: CAADP implementationFAO
The document discusses progress and challenges in implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) over the past 10 years. It notes that while agricultural GDP growth has reduced poverty, progress has been insufficient to achieve CAADP's goal of 10% budget allocation to agriculture and 6% annual growth. Ongoing challenges include financial dependency on donors, weak market integration and coordination. The conference aims to accelerate transformation by enabling private investment, science and technology, and building implementation capacity.

Introduction African agriculture, development and CAADP African agriculture is at a crossroads. It is widely recognised as the most important sector in the continent with the potential to lift millions out of chronic poverty, food insecurity and hunger. Yet, for decades ag- riculture has stagnated, suffering from underinvestment, poor policies and incoherent strategies. Mean- while, more than 250 million Africans remain food insecure. Governments in Africa spend less than 7% of their national budgets on agriculture despite the fact that 75% of poor people live in rural areas. Women farmers and smallholder farmers remain particularly under-supported. CAADP is a recently-ignited process dating back to 2003. It is an attempt to do something about agri- cultural productivity and growth, and aims to transform policy and practice, as to improve, coordination, knowledge and ways of working. But without the know-how, critical analysis and scrutiny of civil society groups and farmers’ organisations, CAADP may end up reinforcing existing trends and fall short of expec- tations. 01 CAADP - A toolkit for civil society, organisation, engagement and advocacy CAADP: A toolkit for civil society, organisation, engagement and advocacy
The document discusses strategies for mobilizing financial resources and using them effectively for sustainable development. It outlines several areas that could help mobilize resources domestically and internationally, including improving taxation, harnessing natural resource revenues, improving efficiency, curbing illicit flows, developing private sectors and financial institutions, and welcoming increases in overseas development assistance. Private sectors are seen as important partners that could help drive growth, job creation, and leverage private finance. Mobilizing international capital flows from foreign direct investment, debt, and institutional investors will be needed to achieve post-2015 development goals. Public-private partnerships and syndications can help scale up development finance.

Budget processes and prioritization of public expenditureIFPRIMaSSP
The document discusses budget processes and prioritization of public expenditures in Malawi, focusing on financing the Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP). It notes that while the FISP has been successful in achieving food security, financing it presents major challenges due to budget constraints and competing needs. The budget process involves determining available resources and allocating funds between priority areas like agriculture, education, and health. However, a large portion of funds are already committed to non-discretionary spending. The FISP receives a significant portion of agricultural funds but faces issues like budget overruns and unpaid bills. Improving efficiency, targeting, and sustainability of the FISP is needed through measures like increasing farmer contributions and piloting flexible
Regional Experiences on Fossil Fuel Support ReformOECD Environment
This document summarizes regional experiences with reforming fossil fuel subsidies. It discusses how the OECD has measured fossil fuel subsidies through an inventory of over 800 individual support measures across 40 countries. Key findings include that total support remains high at $160 billion globally despite some recent declines. Most support is for petroleum consumption, while production measures mainly support capital and extraction. Many subsidies were introduced long ago and their continued relevance may need reassessment. Lower oil prices have helped reduce consumer subsidies but lasting reform is still required. The inventory is an online resource for policymakers to assess fossil fuel measures.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
