| Overview : In recognition of the importance of mobilizing financial resources to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the Government of Mozambique undertook a Development Finance Assessment in 2016/17 at the national level. Led by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the Mozambican DFA provided an overview of the evolution of major flows of development finance and their allocation and contribution to national priorities, while seeking to identify alternative sources of financing for the SDGs. A first provincial DFA assessment will be conducted in Maputo Province, where UNDP is currently implementing part of its SDG localization work. This province present unique conditions and characteristics: it is heavily urbanized, with 71.3% of its population of 1.9 million people living in
urban areas. It also has important industrial, services and logistics sectors and its proximity to the capital city of Maputo provides considerable prospects for agricultural development in the production of fresh food and livestock for local consumption. Yet, it also faces important sustainable development challenges, including waste management or frequent droughts, among others. Examined together, these characteristics provide an overall understanding of sustainable development finance conditions at the subnational level in Mozambique.
