Key points
- The EU and its Member States should meet the commitment to allocate 0.7% of their Gross National Income (GNI) to development assistance.
- Efforts must be made to reduce aid fragmentation, which currently costs the EU between 2 and 3 billion euros every year.
- Development cooperation should prioritize 'country ownership,' meaning aid is aligned with the national plans of the recipient countries.
- There is a strong call to increase transparency through digital tools and better reporting on how funds are used.
