The Donor Tracker’s special features on trends and topics that are important to the global development community

advocates for Donor Tracker

The Donor Tracker is an excellent tool for advocates everywhere to understand ODA budget processes in other countries and who the key players are in development policy.

Dr Christoph Benn, Director of External Relations at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Geneva

There is a lot of data available out there on official development assistance – but there is not a lot of in-depth analysis to help people understand the political and practical contexts in which donors make their ODA funding decisions. The Donor Tracker pulls this all together.

Ann Starrs, President and CEO of the Guttmacher Institute in New York

To advance the global health agenda, it is important to understand how donors think: What is important to them, what do they fund? Which political factors influence their preferences? The Donor Tracker responds to these questions for every major donor. It’s incredibly useful.

Dean Jamison, Professor of Global Health at the University of California in San Francisco

The Donor Tracker provides advocates working in global development with information that is critical for their work: It explains how political decisions are taken, what kind of strategic priorities donors have and helps them to identify key advocacy opportunities during the political year.

Lowy Institute launches map of development assistance in the Pacific

The Lowy Institute has launched a major database of development activities in the Pacific. Co-funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the map provides information for the interactive analysis of over 12,500 activities by 62 donors since 2011 . The data demonstrates the major role of Australia as the largest provider of development assistance to the region, as well as the recent rise of China to become the second largest donor in the region in 2017.

Save the Children evaluates Norway’s development assistance efforts

For the fifth time, Save the Children Norway has assessed the government's policies for children both in Norway and internationally over the last year. The organization assigned the government the best possible grade (a 'green card') for its efforts on health, education, and taxation. However, they gave a 'yellow card' (defined as 'good, but far from good enough') to the government's climate change policy. According to Save the Children Norway, the policy should be doing more to protect the world's poor, particularly children in vulnerable countries.
