With 2021’s Generation Equality Forum and COP26 as important spaces for advocates, the Donor Tracker’s new piece highlights the most important moves in official development assistance (ODA) in major OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) donor countries. This publication is the Donor Tracker's annual summary of trends in ODA for 14 major OECD donors, which includes the latest need-to-know data on each country in a concise and easy-to-read graphic format. 

The Donor Tracker team has used this last year as an opportunity to listen, read, and learn from peers in the development space and to reflect on how we can be part of the push to modernize the language, narratives, and terminologies used in global development. This piece shares examples of updates in global development terminology and encourages actors in this space to consider how the language they use shapes policies and influences relationships and attitudes towards their partners in global development. 

The COVID-19 crisis revealed the failures of the global community to adequately prepare for a pandemic and to build the strong systems and institutions necessary to facilitate a just and equitable recovery from such a crisis. This Donor Tracker publication provides an overview of what the largest OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) donor countries have done since the emergence of COVID-19 to elevate pandemic preparedness globally. 

In June 2021, the Donor Tracker published a Partner Perspective written by Micaela Iveson, from the ONE Campaign - an organization that advocates to tackle extreme poverty and preventable diseases.  

The publication discusses ONE’s new Africa COVID-19 tracker - a tool that compiles data and analysis from global institutions, governments, and universities on the overlapping effects of the COVID-19 crisis across the continent. The tracker and associated information support in documenting COVID-19 associated issues faced by countries in Africa.
