Outline

What is TOSSD – Total Official Support for Sustainable Development ?

• TOSSD is a sta(s(cal measure that includes all officially-supported

resource flows to promote sustainable development in developing countries, to support development enablers and to address global challenges at regional or global levels. – official bilateral and mul1lateral ins1tu1ons; – tradi1onal donors and emerging economies (south-south co-

• pera1on and triangular co-opera1on);

– all instruments (concessional and non concessional); – private resources that are mobilised through official means. Ø A more comprehensive measure of interna(onal co-opera(on than ODA. TOSSD is complementary to ODA.

Resources to developing countries Global level expenditures

Work of the Task Force: development of methodology

• Interna(onal Task Force established to follow the call at the

Third Interna(onal Conference on Financing for Development to devise the TOSSD framework in an open, inclusive and transparent manner.

• Representa(ves of tradi1onal and emerging provider and

partner countries, from NSOs and development co-opera1on policy bodies and interna1onal organisa1ons.

• Country pilots to consult developing countries on TOSSD.
• Outreach events with broader stakeholder groups:

– Side event at the UN Sta1s1cal Commission, March 2018. – Similar event to come at the Financing for Development Forum, on 24 April 2018.

Timeline of TOSSD development

• A first draP of TOSSD Repor1ng Instruc1ons has been prepared

with details on the scope, defini1ons and repor1ng principles.

• The methodology of the first TOSSD pillar – cross-border

resource flows – is almost ready.

• The Task Force is expected to conclude its work on TOSSD

methodology early 2019.

• This means TOSSD could be available for possible use in SDG

monitoring from 2019 or 2020.

Poten(al offered by TOSSD to fill some key informa(on gaps in the financing indicators of the SDG framework

• Includes resources from both tradi(onal donors and emerging

economies, i.e. both north-south and south-south co-opera1on.

• Captures financial resources mobilised from the private sector

through official means (separately iden1fiable).

• Looks at the sustainability aspects of development co‑opera1on.
• Includes resources provided to developing countries but also to

countries in transi(on. Ø TOSSD could supplement the informa(on on targets men(oning broad “interna(onal co-opera(on” or “interna(onal financial flows” (where current indicators are generally about ODA only, or ODA and other official flows).

Next steps

• Complete defini1onal work on TOSSD by early 2019.
• Collate TOSSD data and assess on a case-by-case basis which

targets would benefit by being measured in terms of TOSSD.

• Make proposals to the IAEG to consider TOSSD as an

addi1onal (or replacement) indicator for certain specified SDG targets.

• These proposals would be made in 1me to be considered by

the IAEG as part of the revision of the full set of indicators to be presented to the UN Sta1s1cal Commission in March 2020.

Task Force request for advice from IAEG-SDGs

• What ac(ons will the Task Force need to take to ensure that the

integra1on of TOSSD in the indicator framework is considered in due 1me?

– Will the IAEG-SDGs establish a list of targets for which addi(onal indicators might be desirable? – If so, what would be the process for proposing TOSSD for inclusion in that list?

• The Task Force would be pleased to provide the IAEG members

with further informa(on on TOSSD through special sessions:

– in the margins of the next IAEG-SDGs mee1ng? – In the margins of the UN Data Forum (Dubai in October 2018)?
