A UNDP-sponsored Development Finance Assessment (DFA) mission commissioned by the Benin government was held in Cotonou on 10-21 September 2018. Following an introductory mission in June 2018 which launched the study, this mission prepared for the third and fourth ones scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. 

The objective of this mission was to make a global assessment of all the financing received by Benin over the last 5-7 years, to examine the links between the acquired financing and the sectoral strategies and priorities, and to assess the country’s capacity of the Planning-Programming and Monitoring- Evaluation chain to respond to the challenge of mobilising financing towards the SDGs.

The mission also recommended roadmaps to increase Benin’s capacity to mobilise the resources it needs to achieve the Governmental Action Plan and the guidelines defined in the National Development Plan “vision Bénin Alafia 2025”.
