Tax and public finance – sustainable financing of welfare services and development goals
Taxes and other government revenues are becoming increasingly important for the funding of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In addition to increased revenues, more transparent and effective tax systems contribute to the accountability of the authorities and better use of public funds – a so-called “governance dividend”. Shortcomings in capacity, financing and regulations for public administration are major causes of weak economic development and financing of the SDGs. Improved revenue and revenue management are also important when it comes to stabilisation and state-building in countries that are experiencing fragile situations.

Health systems and primary health services
Each year, 9 million people in low and lower middle income countries (LMICs) die from conditions that should have been managed by the health systems in the countries. About 60 per cent of these deaths are attributed to poor quality care and 40 per cent to limited access to services. COVID-19 demonstrated the importance of protecting the population against infections, responding to outbreaks and also ensuring and maintaining services. Norway works to strengthen health systems, primary health services and achieve universal health care (UHC) in developing countries.
