In a @cgdev.org #PolicyPaper, the authors @andypsumner.bsky.social, Len Ishmael and @stephanklingebiel.bsky.social argue that a “new flexi-lateralism” is emerging as a pragmatic response to #DevelopmentCooperation in a fractured world.

⚠️Today's 2023 #aid data from @oecd-ocde.bsky.social exposes a need for more democratic governance of #DevelopmentCooperation.
#FfD4 is an opportunity for #aid community to align rich countries' behaviours w/ already agreed-to aid effectiveness principles. Read our full reaction: ow.ly/PyR650UHF3o
It remains highly problematic that donor countries are continuing to turn inwards and become recipients of their own aid, either through in-donor refugee costs, by supporting their own private sector, or by tying their aid. Matthew Simonds Eurodad
