What is TOSSD?
TOSSD is a new international statistical measure that provides a complete picture of all official resources and private finance mobilised by official interventions in
support of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What is private finance mobilised by official interventions?
These are private resources that would not have been invested in sustainable development without an official development intervention, such as the use of a guarantee.

TOSSD and the Arab Community

• Arab Fund, Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), IsdB, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, SESRIC, Turkey, UAE
• On the benefits perceived by countries and organisations from the Arab Region, TOSSD helps to :
• Provide more information to recipient countries through international statistics, to help them for their development planning and the monitoring of the SDGs.
• Valorise activities on sustainable development finance in international statistics
• Develop the first picture of Islamic finance for sustainable development.

TOSSD is expected to be recognised as a data source in
the global indicator framework for the SDGs in March 2022
Background on the IAEG-SDGs working group on measurement of development support
In 2020, the IAEG-SDGs proposed to the UN
StatCom (3-6 March 2020) to form a working group on measurement of
development to finalise a methodology for the
target 17.3 “Mobilize additional financial
resources for developing countries from multiple sources”.
Expected duration: 2 years. In 2022, a finalised methodology will be considered for inclusion in the global indicator framework.
The Group was co-chaired by the NSOs of Colombia and Norway. It had 21 member countries. The OECD and UNCTAD had
been invited in the Group to provide substantive inputs.
TOSSD is referenced as a data source for indicator 17.3.1. on the measurement of development support, discussed and endorsed at the IAEG-SDGs working group meeting on 2 November 2021.
The proposal will be
presented for adoption at the UN STatCom in March 2022.
TOSSD Progress
Join our pilot studies!
Anticipated pilot with Egypt in 2022 Pilot studies are carried out to
improve the TOSSD statistical
methodology (seminars have already been carried out with Nigeria, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Burkina Faso, and on Peace and Security. Others are
ongoing with Chile, on the topic of health and with Bangladesh,
Cameroon and Colombia).
Join our capacity-building seminars!
These seminars aim to train staff of your countries to report to TOSSD and use TOSSD data. Upcoming seminars planned with the IsDB currently under discussion for early 2022.
