Maldives: Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF)

This gender-responsive INFF provides a holistic approach for mobilising climate finance for the Maldives under three strategic goals, using 16 specific financing objectives and more than 100 activities. This Financing Strategy highlights reforms targeting the integration of Maldives’ climate crisis reality across public finance and financial and capital markets to align and direct commercial private capital towards climate adaptation and mitigation efforts while at the same time, strengthening the resiliency of the financing system against possible negative impacts of climate shocks.

This document outlines a comprehensive Financing Strategy with a diverse set of policies to align, leverage and unlock public and private sources of capital for financing the Maldives climate agenda and its sister document outlines a robust plan for financing the delivery of social sector services in the country, with a focus on vulnerable groups of the society. Activities target short, medium and long-term timeframes, and range from the improvement of norms that are currently under active discussion – e.g., with the capacitation on sustainable finance issues and the inclusion of climate and gender components – to the development of entirely new frameworks through supporting actions, policies and key policies.
