"Mills also addressed concerns about possible cuts to US aid, clarifying that the current administration is conducting a 90-day review to enhance #aideffectiveness, not withdraw support."

Shift 5: Institutionalise from Day 1. 🏛️

If you wait until the end of the project to "hand over" ownership, you built a rental, not a home.

Ownership must be baked in from the first contract, not the exit strategy.

Facilitate, don't direct. 🤝

Real coalitions form around shared problems, not grant opportunities.

Philippines' Move As One transport coalition worked because the agenda came from commuters, not donors. Be the broker, not the boss.

Shift 3: Fund data citizens demand. 📊

Stop building dashboards for donor HQs in London or DC.

Fund the data that holds power to account locally, not the data that fills your logframe.

Shift 2: Underwrite risk, don't control design. 🛡️

The best donor role today isn't "director" but "insurer."

Absorb the cost of failure so local reformers can take political risks.

Shift 1: Build platforms reformers control. 🏗️

Ukraine’s ProZorro survived because locals owned the code, not donors.

Rule: Co-financing is fine. Co-control is not. If you hold the pen, you're building dependency, not governance.

8/9 The biggest issues often aren't fraud but inefficiency. Projects fail by not accounting for local context or lacking sufficient resources. Aid efforts should link to specific foreign policy goals like decreasing refugee numbers or building alternatives to Chinese investment.

Official Development Assistance
Despite a 50-year-old commitment, the 0.7% GNI ODA target remains unmet. This video outlines: • Why over-dependence on ODA poses risks for critical sectors • The need for accountability frameworks • Aligning aid with national development strategies ODA should empower self-led development, not create long-term dependence. #FFD4 #ODA #AidEffectiveness #AfricaDevelopment

Between $1.1 and $3.3bn in humanitarian assistance could be used more efficiently each year — enough to reach up to 60m more people in crisis.

Development Cooperation: More Harm than Help?
