image of Development Co-operation Report 2020

The devastating impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19) on developing countries have tested the limits, ingenuity and flexibility of development co-operation while also uncovering best practices. This 58th edition of the Development Co-operation Report draws out early insights from leaders, OECD members, experts and civil society on the implications of coronavirus (COVID-19) for global solidarity and international co-operation for development in 2021 and beyond. The report suggests ways forward for the international development community as a whole for bold action and systemic reform to build resilient national and international systems capable of coping with global shocks, and providing and protecting global public goods while reinforcing the fundamental building blocks for sustainable development. The annual “development co-operation at a glance” infographics showcase the latest trends in development finance for over 80 providers of development co-operation, including members of the OECD, the Development Assistance Committee, other countries and philanthropic foundations.

Climate-resilient development

While building climate resilience is an essential component of sustainable development, many COVID-19 economic recovery packages do not have a green focus and include measures that could increase the vulnerability of communities and ecosystems to climate risks. Previewing the forthcoming OECD guidance for governments and development co-operation on strengthening climate resilience, this case study highlights approaches to enhancing data and information, governance, and financial mechanisms and instruments that can build environmental and social sustainability.
