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.

Supporting institutional resilience

COVID-19 calls attention to the importance of resilient institutions to navigate this and other crises and support a sustainable recovery in developed and developing countries. It is clear that more resilient institutions are needed in the context of a global pandemic, but it is less straightforward to translate that understanding into effective official development assistance strategies. This case study is a short reflection on what we know about building institutional resilience in contexts of development and what this means for development practitioners. It begins with a brief review of the theoretical underpinnings of institutional resilience before outlining what practitioners should consider and what actions they can take to promote it.
