The Donor Tracker is a unique online resource that offers free, independent, up-to-date analysis of 14 major OECD donors.

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.

Joe Cerrell, Managing Director, Global Policy and Advocacy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Meeting report for ‘Effective SRHR Messaging in Changing Times’ workshop published

The meeting was organised in September 2018 by one of Share-Net’s Communities of Practice consisting of Rutgers, Amref Flying Doctors, RNW Media, AFEW International, and individual member Doortje Braeken. The report contains the full summary of all the discussions and the key takeaways from the three workshops:

Workshop 1 - Reframing language: how to reach the wider public with your message?

Key lessons: Identify values to create commonalities; tell the whole story; identify words that work, and do not hide the perpetrators; and find out how to work together as a community.

Workshop 2 - How to talk about sensitive topics within communities?

Key lessons: Practice active listening, give respect and compassion; know what you need to ask to the communities and then ask to understand their values; and how do you protect and support people who stick their neck out?

Workshop 3 - Lobby messages towards conservative governments: fight or unite?

Key lessons: Analyze what can be learned from positive stories; establishing solidarity between CSOs, the human rights movement, women’s movement, etc; and build bigger coalitions around shared values
