ODA has often been seen as the principal
source of funding for development…
Global issues require
global solutions
Greater resources are
needed
Co-operation and policy
coherence are key
If the world is to meet its post-2015 goals for
sustainable development…
Developing countries’
circumstances, needs
and options are
evolving
There are new
providers and many
other resources for
development…
…and much
potential still to be
tapped…
…including countries’
mobilisation of their
own resources
But today, the environment has changed
Making investment
attractive in high-risk
situations
ODA can play a key role…
Leveraging other
resources
Helping countries
mobilise domestic
resources
Supporting countries
that find it hard to
attract other
resources
Promoting policy
reform
Fit-for-purpose in the
current financial
environment
Effective in mobilising
other resources
Targeted where it is
needed most
…but only if ODA is made “smart”
