<h4>Office/unit/project description</h4>
<p>The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Programme in Jordan aims to enhance the nation's inclusivity and resilience to achieve its national priorities, aligned with the 2030 Agenda. The Jordan Country Office focuses on key priorities, including governance and peace, inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, environment, renewable energy, climate change, financing for development, and SDG impact.</p>
<p>Regarding the significant challenge posed by financing for development, the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda emphasized the importance of holistic approaches to financing national strategies. In response, UNDP launched Financing for Development (FfD) portfolios which include initiatives in partnership with both governmental and private stakeholders to align public and private capital flows with national development priorities and to mobilize the necessary financing for large-scale development impacts.</p>
<p>In an effort to build a coherent sustainable finance architecture, UNDP leverages its technical expertise and convening power to support the deployment of an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) in Jordan. This government-led process unites government entities, the private sector, and development cooperation partners in devising a strategy to finance national development. To inform this strategy with data and analyses of the financing landscape, UNDP Jordan already conducted a Development Finance Assessment and complementary thematic studies. Building on these efforts, the country office is now deploying a FfD portfolio to further support the government in developing an INFF roadmap anchored with the priorities of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV).</p>
<p>With its FfD portfolio, the country office is seeking to effectively leverage innovative financing and support investments into the green transition.
