2005 - Worldwide
Clients: IDC, the European Commission

ECOPA led this study, analysing the added value of global funds and partnerships (GFPs) to development co-operation from the EC's point of view. The study examined the additionality of the financial resources mobilised by GFPs to existing Official Development Assistance (ODA) and the role of GFPs in funding and producing global public goods. It reported on the extent to which GFPs have facilitated aid re-allocation towards emerging development challenges. It addressed how they relate to policy dialogue and country ownership, as well as examining their potential influence on aid allocation in developing countries. Finally, it proposed recommendations for an EC strategy for GFPs.
