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.

Council of the European Union adopts Europe-Asia strategy

The conclusions state that the EU will promote an approach which is sustainable, comprehensive, and rules-based, and will advance investment and trade. This European approach is based on standards of social and environmental protection and inspired by the EU's internal market, promoting higher levels of quality of life with respect for individual rights. The Council calls for strengthened cooperation at the regional level between the EU and Asia, saying that the EU should consider developing regional approaches for sustainable connectivity, identifying opportunities for cooperation.

German governing party suffers drastic loss in Bavarian election

In the state elections in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union (CSU) – the conservative sister party of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Chancellor Angela Merkel – had their worst election performance in more than six decades. They received just 37.2% of the votes, losing their absolute majority. The Social Democratic Party (SPD), Merkel’s grand coalition partner at the federal level, was hit similarly hard, receiving 9.9% of votes. Winners of the election were the Green Party with 17.5% (an 8.9% increase from the last election) and the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) with 10.2% of the votes.
