AidWatch 2025: keeping a vigilant eye on EU commitments and the true purpose of ODA | AidWatch 2025 Launch

This year, CONCORD’s flagship report, AidWatch, turned 20 years old. To mark the occasion, we published a special edition, “Ending short-sightedness, restoring Official Development Assistance’s purpose” and hosted a launch event that brought together representatives from the European Commission, Member States and civil society.

The discussion centred on the quantity and quality of EU Official Development Assistance (ODA), while also touching on the EU’s Global Gateway initiative. You can read more about it in this newsletter edition.

In addition to AidWatch 2025, this newsletter features the launch of our new Meaningful Engagement Platform, insights from our GAP IV position paper, and other updates from our Secretariat.

Catch up on all these updates and more by reading the full newsletter!
