Detailed description of Tool

Created by UNICEF in 2017 and updated in 2020, this spreadsheet-based tool is useful to prepare the financial analysis for the Country Overview. Countries which have not yet done their own costing of the SDG targets (6.1 and 6.2) can use the SDG Costing Tool to prepare their estimates.

The main difference between the updated tool and the previous version is that now countries have the option of selecting the baseline year - i.e. after 2015. This allows more realistic annual values to be estimated to reach the national targets.
