It also depends on the treatment of vertical funds, excessively fragmented 5. Different allocation criteria are required according to goals: development, climate, GPGs. 6. Allocation also depends on how concessional resources are mobilized 7. Balance between needs and effectiveness allocation criteria depends on the goals. 8.
