Recommendations • Look for opportunities to leverage ‘aid’ funds within a wider set of public and private instruments to achieve development outcomes • New partnerships with Southern providers are important, but require careful strategies for identifying entry points and influencing opportunities. • Respond proactively to the changing aid landscape that is increasingly blending instruments and expanding beyond aid • Be proactive in seeking out opportunities to work with Southern providers to strengthen their knowledge, capacity, and partnerships.
Recommendations • Support genuine country ownership and work with recipient countries to make more informed decisions about their development investing and infrastructure. • Stay the course in middle-income countries in East Asia. Asian providers will continue to be active in the arena -- influencing, investing, and shaping with soft power.
