Joint Program “Support for the development of an Integrated National Financing Framework for the SDGs in Cuba” (CIFFRA)

The United Nations System in Cuba, through the leadership of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) with the participation of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Office of the Resident Coordinator (OCR) has designed a Joint Program with the objective of contributing to the development of an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) as a tool for planning, defining and evaluating gender-sensitive financing policies to improve the effectiveness of such policies and the efficiency of  resources mobilization for financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The program involves several key national institutions including the Ministry of Economy and Planning (MEP) which leads the activities in the country, as well as the participation of the Ministry of Finance and Prices (MFP), the Central Bank of Cuba (BCC), the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment (MINCEX) and the National Statistics and Information Office (ONEI).

The Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) is a United Nations initiative aimed at strengthening national planning processes and overcoming barriers to financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda.
