This report is a snapshot of the European Union’s implementation of aid and development effectiveness principles in its development co-operation in partner countries. It examines the performance of the EU and its Member States by analysing the results of the 2019 Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) monitoring report.
Almost 1,800 projects in over 70 partner countries were analysed to generate a gauge of the performance of the European Union as a collective whole. The sample is equivalent to just over half of the full GPEDC data set.
