What is triangular cooperation?

Triangular cooperation involves a development partnership cooperation, involving at least one bilateral provider from the OECD-DAC (or an international organisation) and one or more providers of South-South cooperation . The purpose is to promote sharing of knowledge and experience and implementing development projects (OECD, cited in Paulo, 2018, p. 3; Hausmann, 2014, p. 36). Traditional bilateral and multilateral donors act as ‘facilitators’ that contribute funding in addition to experience and know-how of managing development cooperation (Paulo, 2018). They also support triangular cooperation through their extensive networks of embassies and development agencies throughout the developing world (Paulo, 2018).

Does DFID have a clear strategy?

An ICAI review of engagement with multilateral agencies emphasises that DFID lacks a clear strategy for its work with multilaterals. In addition, its focus on results and on improving agencies’ management processes has often been at the expense of strategic dialogue on what multilaterals do and how they do it (ICAI, 2015). With regard to the EU, DFID’s engagement varies from country to country. This is due in part to the absence of a clear strategy on how to influence the EU and its programming and spending (ICAI, 2015).

Is aid from emerging donors subject to OECD-DAC evaluation mechanisms?

Aid from emerging donors are not subject to OECD-DAC evaluation mechanisms (Lengfelder, 2016). The position of emerging donors on global development issues and their support for developing countries are shaped by their own values and interests, which may well be different to the views of members of the OECD-DAC (ICAI, 2016). More experienced donors may feel that they should pass on their expertise, whereas new donors may believe they have their own way of doing things. Trilateral cooperation provides an opportunity for dialogue and exchange (Lengfelder, 2016).

What is donor cultivation?

Donor cultivation is a critical part of achieving a charity's mission. Build a good relationship with donors, and you set the stage for a lifetime of giving. Ignore the importance of donor relations, however, and your donors may become loyal givers elsewhere. Donor relations isn't just for corporate sponsors and foundations, either.

Why is outreach important?

Stewardship updates, event details and mission success stories are all wonderful reasons for outreach. For major donors, strive to meet with them in person for coffee or lunch, or via the telephone for a personal conversation, at least quarterly. Being at a higher level of giving merits the extra effort.

Is donor relations fun?

Donor relations can be a very enjoyable process, but there are times when it can be a challenge. Even when you're making your way through long phone lists and leaving what seems like hundreds of messages, maintaining a pleasant demeanor can make all the difference.

Question

What are the ways in which donors influence other donors (intentionally or incidentally) in terms of adopting particular development policies and achieving development outcomes? What activities/methods have worked or exhibit the potential for success?

Summary

There is a growing interest in the ways in which donors can be influenced. While there is some nascent literature on how behavioural insights can be used to influence policymakers (see Helpdesk report, no. 1426), there is very limited research and evidence on the ways in which donors influence other donors.
