This report has been prepared by the Financing and Aid Architecture Task Team of the OECD DAC (Development Assistance Committee) International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCA F). The work of the task team is a result of the widespread recognition that more effective, rapid and flexible financing to conflict-affected countries is needed. The purpose is to translate previous commitments into practice in order to effectively address challenges associated with transition financing.

This report has been prepared by the Financing and Aid Architecture Task Team of the OECD DAC (Development Assistance Committee) International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCA F). It aims to establish an agreed conceptual foundation that will enable OECD DAC members and implementing partners to address the challenges associated with transition financing and the current aid financing architecture. The findings presented are based on: (i) a desk review of donor policies and procedures, and existing funding instruments in specific countries; (ii) an extensive literature review and analysis of DAC and Financial Tracking System financial data; and (iii) interviews with key informants from DAC member countries and multilateral agencies.

This chapter outlines some of the key international efforts to date to conceptualise international assistance in support of war-to-peace transition. It also clarifies the challenges and key concepts involved and defines transition as a set of shifts and characteristics that influence international engagement.
-
This chapter uses DAC data and other information sources to provide a brief overview of overall aid flows to fragile and conflict-affected states. It then moves to outline the specific challenges and bottlenecks associated with measuring and monitoring transition financing, and suggests areas where development partners need to improve their current practice.

The analysis presented in this chapter is based on a mapping of donor policies, procedures and operational set-ups for financial allocations to conflict-affected situations, as well as interviews with key informants among DAC member states and observers. The aim is to (i) clarify how policies, structures and decisionmaking procedures impede or enable donors’ ability to ensure rapid and flexible financing for transition and (ii) analyse various funding instruments and modalities for transition financing. This chapter outlines key findings and emerging good practice around decentralised decision-making, joint responsibility and whole-ofgovernment approaches to transition challenges, as well as pooling of resources for joint purposes.

This chapter focuses mainly on the different multilateral pooled funding instruments that donors can use to finance transition activities but sets these in the context of bilateral funding to the extent possible. It looks at different case studies to explore the advantages and challenges related to multi-donor trust funds, and proposes areas of improvements that would increase the effectiveness and efficiency of such funding mechanisms.
