Brief Description

The joint programme titled 'Innovating public financial management to accelerate SDGs implementation in the Dominican Republic' aims to enhance public financial management systems and resource allocation processes in the Dominican Republic to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by integrating advanced technologies and promoting transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public spending.

The Joint Programme enhances public financial management in the Dominican Republic to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By integrating advanced AI technologies and SDG-aligned budget classifiers, it modernizes budgeting mechanisms, ensuring transparency and efficiency in public spending. The programme strengthens policy instruments to address inequalities and improve fiscal sustainability, directly benefiting 30% of the population engaged in social programmes. It enhances statistical capacities for tracking multidimensional poverty and mobilizes additional resources through innovative financing mechanisms. Overall, the programme significantly contributes to enhancing climate resilience and advancing the SDGs by fostering inclusive growth and addressing systemic gaps in resource allocation.
