Making Development Co-operation More Effective: 2019 Progress Report was prepared by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), under the auspices of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co‑operation. The OECD and the UNDP would like to thank the Co-Chairs’ Offices and Steering Committee members for their engagement throughout the 2018 Monitoring Round.
This report would not have been possible without the contributions of the 86 partner country governments that led the monitoring exercise at country level, as well as participating development partners. In particular, the OECD-UNDP Joint Support Team would like to thank the national co‑ordinators who managed the data collection process, as well as focal points from development agencies, civil society organisations, businesses, trade unions, parliaments, foundations and local governments who took part in the monitoring process at the country and global levels.
The report was prepared by a team comprising Jonas Bausch, Cibele Cesca, Rebekah Chew, Jonas Deusch, Piper Hart and Valentina Orrù, with the co-ordination of Regina Gallego, and under the strategic guidance of Hanna-Mari Kilpelainen and Yuko Suzuki Naab and the general direction of Paloma Duran y Laguna and Margaret Thomas.
