Assessing the Global Landscape of International Development Cooperation

This Capstone project is proposed by the Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) Unit of Financing for Sustainable Development Office (FSDO), UN DESA. The project will enable the Capstone team to participate comprehensively in the design, rollout, outreach, data collection, and analysis of the 2023-2024 DCF Survey exercise and Survey Study, in collaboration with UN DESA staff. The survey questionnaire and subsequent analysis will aim to provide insights into the progress made by countries in making international development cooperation more risk-informed. This is especially crucial in light of major global economic, social, and environmental crises that persistently disrupt energy, food, and financial systems. The data collected through the survey exercise will feed into the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development (FfD), the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) and other relevant processes.
