The UN has a critical role to play. The Task Force’s recommendations can be embedded into the UN’s support to Member States. Support will be most helpful in building SDG-aligned digital financing ecosystems, linked to existing SDG-related planning frameworks and initiatives, public financial management and action on combating illicit financial flows. It will also be key in ensuring that no country or group is left behind and that the digital dividend benefits all.
The UN makes a key contribution to international norm-setting, through its specialist entities that work at the nexus of digital and finance, and through its engagement with the G20, OECD and the Bretton Woods institutions. Finally, the UN can exemplify a citizen-centric approach to financing the SDGs in its management of international development finance, including its own financial management.
