First, while the 2030 Agenda emphasizes the holistic and interdependent nature of the various elements of sustainable development, funding is increasingly compartmentalized, potentially impeding financing for (and thus discouraging) investments based on cross-cutting or holistic approaches. Second, increasing fragmentation has given rise to multiple potential funding sources for projects within certain areas. This may be an obstacle to locating an appropriate funding source, as each agency has its own particular criteria and priorities, as well as its own (often complex) application and monitoring procedures. These two aspects give rise to an unnecessary obstacle to funding and an excessive burden on the institutional capacities of LDCs.
