Supporting LDCs' Transformation: How can ODA Contribute to the Istanbul Programme of Action in the Post-2015 Era?

Jose Alonso Rodriguez

CDP Background Papers from United Nations, Department of Economics and Social Affairs

Abstract: Many intergovernmental processes, including the Istanbul Programme of Action, the post-2015 Development Agenda and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda call for a significant increase in ODA toward LDCs. However, even if the commitments were fulfilled, their effectiveness could be minimal if no significant changes are made in the way in which donors allocate and provide ODA. LDCs are among countries with higher levels of aid-dependency, proliferation of donors and aid fragmentation. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role that ODA can play in the development process of LDCs and the way in which aid should be allocated among countries.
