Channel of delivery

The Channel of delivery is the implementing agency. When several levels of implementation are involved, e.g. when the extending agency hires a national implementer which in turn may hire a local implementer, report the first level of implementation as channel of delivery. The Channel of delivery is normally linked to the Extending agency by a contract, and is directly responsible to it.

The level of detail for reporting on channel codes is being discussed within the DAC Working Party on Statistics. Current codes for broad categories of channels are:

• 10000 = Public sector (Donor government/Extending agency, Recipient government)
• 20000 = NGOs and civil society (NGOs in donor, recipient, third country; international NGOs)
• 30000 = Public Private Partnerships (PPP)
• 40000 = Multilateral organisations (UN, WB/IMF/Regional Banks)
• 50000 = Other
