Ethiopia's Ministry of Finance launched the Ethiopian Integrated Sustainable Financing Framework (E-ISFF) and established a Country Platform to align domestic and international financing with national development priorities and coordinate stakeholders around mobilising funding for high-impact projects. The ministry positioned the E-ISFF as an outcome of Ethiopia’s eight-year reform agenda, with the Country Platform serving as the implementation hub and a Sector Working Group Milestone Tracker used to monitor progress and address delivery bottlenecks. The Ministry of Planning and Development highlighted the framework’s role in helping sector ministries prepare bankable project pipelines. Supporting commentary from the United Nations Development Programme noted Ethiopia is joining more than 80 countries that have adopted similar integrated frameworks, while technical inputs emphasised domestic resource mobilisation through improved tax policy and administration, leveraging private capital through capital markets, public-private partnerships and blended finance, and diaspora-focused instruments such as bonds and investment facilities aimed at converting remittances into longer-term development capital.
