Status and Implications of SNG Finance and Investment on Public Service Delivery and Sustainable Development Goals 2022 | Asian Development Bank (ADB) | 22 November 2022 | Online

This event includes data from 135 countries, covering almost 90% of the world surface area, 93% of the world population and 94% of global GDP. It includes several developing member countries of ADB, except for the countries in Pacific and some countries in Asia (due to the lack of availability of data).

The SNG-WOFI initiative is the world's leading source of internationally comparable data and analysis on multi-level governance and subnational finance frameworks. It is the largest international knowledge repository on SNG structure and finance ever produced. It provides systematized information on decentralization processes, subnational reforms, SNGs’ responsibilities and authorities, and fiscal rules around the world, and covers dozens of indicators on subnational expenditure, investment, revenue, and debt.

This is a joint endeavor led by the OECD and United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and is being supported by a range of other institutions and networks, including ADB’s Governance Thematic Group.
