Data: Financing for Development

Update 28 June 2016: please note the group has been archived.

*******************************************************************************************************************

In the context of the ongoing debates on financing for development, reference is often made to the absolute values or relative importance of one or another financing source. At the same time, the underlying data are not always comparable, which may result in a bias in such assessments. To strengthen the understanding of the data and its shortcomings, this group provides a platform for interested parties for discussing the methodology and data issues for quantification, hopefully contributing to creating a stronger basis for international policy discussions.

The discussions and papers provided are strictly informal and do not represent the official views of the EU institutions or participants, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
