Donor co-ordination
EuropeAid
Donor co-ordination
The EU is not one donor,
but 25 Member States and the Commission
.
• The EU provides 52% of all development aid
in the world.
• The Commission on its own, is the fifth largest
donor after the USA, Japan, UK and France.
• The Commission is the second largest donor
of humanitarian aid.

Donor co-ordination
EuropeAid
• UN Millennium Development Goals:
•
•
EU15 to reach 0.7% of Gross National Income
(GNI) by 2015.
EU10 to reach 0.33%.
• EU: planned increase should release by 2010
around € 30 billion in extra funding per year.
• New instruments discussions: € 3.4 billion in
extra funding per year.
• So: EU Member States responsible for spending
90% of the planned increase.

Donor co-ordination
Three approaches to prepare Member States and
Commission for the future:
1. Opening up of procedures
•
•
Facilitating joint work:
Now: pool-funding for sector support.
Later (2007): Commission proposal allowing
Member States to manage Community funds,
and vice versa.
More public-private work: more blending of
funding (grants with loans), co-funding with
private sector. Example: Water Facility.
EuropeAid
Donor co-ordination
2. Sector and budget support
•
•
Setting targets:
Commission pushing for 40 – 45% of 10th EDF
for sector/budget support.
Developing know how: examples:
• Commission’s role in Public Finance Management
standards development
• Commission leading in standards for assessment of
public institutions
• strong cooperation with IFIs
3. Mapping
•
•
Comprehensive mapping of where we are:
start with infrastructure: from roads to IT.
Infrastructure atlas of Africa.
