UK Parliament warns against DFID's economic development strategy focusing too closely on national interest

The UK Parliament's International Development Committee (IDC) has released a review of the Department for International Development's economic development strategy, warning against over-emphasizing gains to UK businesses at the expense of addressing poverty. The committee pushed back against the growing use of "dual-purpose" projects that include an objective about advancing national interests in addition to development goals, specifically calling for stronger safeguards that trade and investment objectives do not result in ill effects for those living in UK partner countries.

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
