Multilateral Aid and the DAC
1. Aid Predictability: Forward Spending Survey
2. Division of Labour: Global Fragmentation & Concentration
3. Annual Multilateral Aid Report
Forward Spending Survey
• Only global survey on donors’ future aid
• Survey shows little sign of raised levels of ambition for 2010 targets, outlook for 2011 no more encouraging.
• Multilateral agencies account for most of increased allocations to LICs
Global Fragmentation & Concentration
• Bilateral and Multilateral donors
• Donor fragmentation across countries is increasing
• Allocation rules do not internalise aid from other donors
Non-significant donor relationships: Opportunities for concentration
Multilateral Trends
• +/- 30% share of multilateral ODA
• 2008: 82% ML aid to IDA, EC, UN, Global Fund
• Even greater concentration when non-core or funds channelled through multilaterals is included, special topic in 2010 report

Conclusions
• Objective of work is to provide evidence for more rational allocation of aid.
• Multilateral work so far looks more in-depth at how bilateral donors fund multilateral agencies.
To what extent does the perceived or real effectiveness of multilateral agencies affect the allocation of multilateral aid?
