The African Economic Outlook 2009 found Africa strengthening trade and development relations with emerging market economies including Brazil, China and India. A new Development Centre study, "Policy Ownership and Aid Conditionality in the Light of the Financial Crisis", discusses how all aid recipient countries should exploit the arrival of these and other new donors to demand fewer conditions on aid and adopt a more proactive approach to donors relations. For donors, the case is made that a more ‘arms-length’ relationship with recipient countries would be beneficial.

In preparation for the 2009-10 Global Forum on Development, DeFiNe met to discuss Domestic Resource Moblisation. In times of cognitive crisis, both external resource flows (ODA, FDI) and domestic revenues become less reliable. Hence there is a need to create more pre-dictability in revenue mobilisation and to take a cohesive approach to resource mobilisation both at home and abroad. DeFiNe meeting was devoted to public instruments for DRM, namely Fiscal Policy (Taxation).
