The primary purpose of this Development Finance Assessment (DFA) is to assist the Republic of the Marshall Islands government in establishing an integrated national financing framework (INFF) for the achievement of their development visions and goals, in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, and the expiration of the Compact Agreement by 2023.

The DFA, therefore, serves as a comprehensive tool to map past, current and future sources of development finance, reviewing a broad range of development finance flows from domestic and external, public and private sources. It is expected that this report will identify opportunities to develop an INFF that can address the financial challenges for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and Marshall Island’s national development goals.
