A recent report from the Reality of Aid Network titled
Reality of Aid Report 2020/2021: Aid in the context of
Conflict, Fragility and the Climate Emergency sheds light on
the urgent need to reform the aid system which is currently
ill-equipped to handle the triple threat of COVID-19,
conflicts and the climate emergency.
“The current
aid system is ill-equipped to meet the challenges of this
coming decade. Over the past 20 years the Reality of Aid
Network has been consistent in calling for donors to meet
the UN target of 0.7% of donors’ GNI for ODA,” according
to the report.
