This High-Level V20 Needs and Support Assessment, focuses on the circumstances in V20 countries and mapping currently existing programs and financing vehicles that address some of problems that lie at the core of the SIF. The Assessment provides the basis for the “SIF V20 Operationalization Framework”, which will outline draft programmatic areas to guide activities that can realize the implementation objectives of the SIF, partner engagement and the ecosystem required to enable successful implementation. Moreover, this document is intended to serve as a discussion basis to identify financing actors and other key stakeholders to engage with for further consultation.
