About the Data
The 2005 Gleneagles agreement bound together a diverse set of development assistance commitments and established the G8 summit as an annual moment of accountability.
There is evidence that this sense of shared responsibility has helped to enforce delivery: the G7 grouping performed better than the EU and DAC in meeting their targets to increase ODA (delivering 61%, as opposed to the EU’s 35% and the DAC’s 56%) and in prioritising sub-Saharan Africa (directing 43% of increases to the region, as opposed to the EU’s 28% and the DAC’s 36%).
ONE’s DATA Key Findings
The key findings show that, despite historic increases and remarkable results over the past decade, donors still fell short of meeting their commitments to sub-Saharan Africa by 2010.
