Institutional framework and social spending in the midst of a protracted crisis: educational investment at the centre

Sustainable financing is a key requirement for a social institutional framework that is commensurate to the challenges of moving towards inclusive social development, and steering the course towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development proposes to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies” (Goal 16) and to “develop effective and transparent accountable institutions at all levels” (target 16.6). Moreover, in terms of the means of implementation, Goal 17 highlights “Strengthen domestic resource mobilization” (target 17.1).

Sustainable Development Goals:

Good Health and Well-Being

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Reduced Inequalities
