The 2020/2021 Reality of Aid Report sets out a narrative in support of a transformative shift in the international aid system taking stock of persisting global crises as a clear moment of opportunity for donor countries to demonstrate political will in eradicating poverty and reducing inequality in all its forms. The report examines these cross-cutting issues in three major areas: 1) the Triple Nexus approach; 2) the climate emergency; and 3) the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This report has 21 contributions comprising 8 country chapters, 9 thematic articles and a Global Aid Trends chapter. The political overview synthesizes the various themes tackled in this report based on contributionsfrom different authors. Finally, the report sets out four key directions for transformative change building on the Reality of Aid’s Ten- Point Action Agenda to Transform Development Cooperation based on the principles of solidarity, human rights, feminist ideals, reducing poverty and tackling inequalities.
