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.

September 24, 2018: University of Toronto to host talk on economic development in East Asia

The Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto will be hosting Dr. Henry Wai-chung Yeung as he discusses the linkage between state-firm relations and economic development in East Asia. In his most recent work, Yeung has challenged the idea of the “developmental state” and how the choosing of national champions led to economic growth. Rather, he posits that in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, production network-level dynamics and firm-specific initiatives were more critical as these countries transitioned from developing to developed nations.
