ODI is pleased to host a joint event with the Tokyo-based Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) on inclusive green growth and regional cooperation in Asia.

Given the continued relevance of Aid for Trade (AfT) and a growing emphasis on the role of the private sector in development, the importance of clearly demonstrating development impacts on the ground is more important than ever.  This public event builds upon the influential work of the ODI’s International Economic Development Group and follows the AfT Policy Dialogue, organised by the OECD in collaboration with ODI.

Development actors have long raised concerns that the impact of demand-side governance projects cannot be sustained. Drawing from WaterAid’s experiences in India and Uganda this event will explore what kinds of approaches different Governance and Transparency Fund projects have sought to develop and implement in order both to ensure the sustainability of their interventions, and to help partner organisations become self-sustaining over the long term? What efforts have been most effective and why, and what are the challenges that still lie ahead?

This event will launch Network Paper 73: Response analysis and response choice in food security crises: a roadmap, which provides an in depth discussion of the process of making an appropriate response choice in humanitarian emergencies, and an analysis of the most important factors involved in that choice.
