Official development assistance is important, but diversifying the assistance portfolio is crucial
Official development assistance (ODA) in Africa’s development is important, but African policymakers are urged to diversify their portfolio of such funding so as to maximize the volume of resources and minimize exposure to funding shocks. In addition, promoting African products’ access to global markets provides an opportunity for growing out of aid. Trade is vital for Africa’s development, and the continued growth of Aid for Trade (AfT) commitments, which are growing faster than ODA, are welcomed. Still, AfT’s concentration in a few countries is a concern that requires an immediate remedy.
