Mainstreaming the SDGs into national and local plans

The Rapid Integrated Assessment (RIA) helps governments and policymakers mainstream the SDGs into national and local plans by measuring countries’ readiness to implement the Goals. The assessment identifies gaps in alignment between SDG targets and national and sub-national development plans and is as such a first step to mainstream the 2030 Agenda into specific country and local contexts.

Understanding how policy interventions affect development targets

International Futures (IF) is a long-term modeling system consisting of multiple integrated submodule search representing different dimensions of development. It can be used by development practitioners to gain analytical insights on the benefits of country reforms, SDG interventions or shocks. The model also contains an SDG module allowing the user to track how policy interventions affect SDG indicators and targets.

Analysing linkages between SDGs

The iSDG model is an integrated simulation tool that enables policy makers and planning officials at all levels of government to understand the interlinkages between policies designed to achieve the SDGs and test their likely impacts. By bringing together the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development into one framework, the model enables broad, cross-sector and long-term analyses of the impacts of alternative policies. Simulating trends until 2030 under a business-as-usual scenario, the iSDG model is especially useful both in the early stages of policy design to support scenario exploration, and in advanced stages when specific interventions can be jointly simulated to assess their combined effect and emerging synergies.

Climate, land-use, energy and water systems (CLEWS) models

Climate, land-use, energy and water systems (CLEWS) models are tools for simultaneous consideration of food, energy and water security, targeting governments and policy makers. The models are designed to assess how production and use of these resources may contribute to climate change, and how climate change may affect resource systems. By comparing different technologies and value chains, the models can identify pressure points, and indicate synergies and trade-offs to reach development goals. CLEWS can analyse policy decisions on issues such as the promotion of clean energy, competition for water and agricultural modernisation.

The model also contains an SDG module allowing the user to track how policy interventions affect SDG indicators and targets.

Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)

The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) identifies multiple deprivations at the household and individual level in health, education and standard of living. It uses micro data from household surveys which are aggregated into the national measure of poverty. The MPI is a valuable complement to income-based poverty measures for governments, policy makers and development practitioners, and allows comparisons between countries and regions, as well as within countries.

Mobilising resources to achieve the SDGs

The Development Finance Assessment (DFA) is a tool to for countries to finance the SDGs. It helps identify opportunities to mobilise additional sources of finance and use existing financial resources more efficiently to achieve the 2030 Agenda.  The DFA offers support for governments and their partners in identifying and building consensus around solutions, aiming to address financing challenges through multi-stakeholder consultations and developing a joint road map that can support progress across a range of areas.

Financing the SDGs at the national level

An Integrated National Financing Framework is a tool for governments and their partners to finance the SDGs at the national level. The framework analyses all financing sources and non-financial means of implementation available to a country and designs a financing strategy to mobilise resources, manage risks, and achieve sustainable development targets.
