Development Progress - Our Work
Development Progress aims to measure, understand and communicate where and how development progress has happened. By developing and communicating a robust evidence base, the project seeks to inform policy makers and opinion leaders across the world as to how progress has been achieved. The project has five main components
Measuring progress
Employing a range of methodologies and statistical analysis for measuring progress, looking at how equitable progress has been and to what extent it has been sustained over time.
Explaining progress
Exploring where and how progress has happened, analysing the social, economic and political drivers of progress amongst some of the leading performers.
Financing Progress
Analysis of how progress has been financed, looking at the mix of domestic, international, public, private and other types of sources, along with mechanisms of delivery.
Valuing Progress
Piloting different approaches for how to better incorporate poor people's perspectives on development efforts into decisions on resource allocation.
Aid for Trade
Aid for Trade accounts for about a third of all overseas development assistance. Development Progress has explored the impact of Aid for Trade thus far, seeking to identify what has worked and what the barriers to improving the impact of Aid for Trade are.
Common Agricultural Policy
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the European Union’s agricultural policy, spending around €50 billion each year. Development Progress has explored how proposed CAP reforms might affect developing countries.
