Development Co-operation Report 2024
Tackling Poverty and Inequalities through the Green Transition
Faced with multiple priorities, including the imperative of accelerating the global green transition, development co-operation providers are at risk of losing sight of a silent, yet devastating crisis that has been unfolding even before the COVID-19 pandemic: the alarming increase of poverty and inequalities in low and middle-income countries. And yet, not only are ending poverty and reducing inequalities at the core of their mandates, both are also essential to meeting their broader ambitions in terms of sustainable development worldwide. What opportunities – and risks – is the climate priority posing for the fight against poverty and inequality? Can just, green transitions reinvigorate development agendas? How can international development co-operation policy and finance help? Bringing together the latest evidence, data and insights from governments, academia, international organisations and civil society, the OECD Development Co-operation Report 2024 provides policy makers with concrete ways of delivering on their commitments to improve the lives of billions while fostering green, just transitions around the world.

Meaningful community participation in Just Energy Transition Partnerships
Just energy transition partnerships (JETPs) are significant opportunities to accelerate green transitions in low- and middle-income countries and do so in ways that reduce poverty and inequality. This chapter highlights opportunities to leverage JETP investments for poverty and inequality reduction, through deliberate community participation in the design and implementation phases providing a civil society and local community perspective. It shares lessons on co-production and funding mechanisms for all stakeholders involved in the current and next generation of JETPs – particularly international partners who can help improve impact on emissions reduction and contribution to social goals by promoting more inclusive processes and flexible funding.
