7. To discuss

3. Introductory remarks
• The draft version of the paper
• Many topics – one paper (Switzerland)
• The 3 functions of the List (Austria)
• Our aim is making steps forward

4. A. Guidelines for including trust funds on
the List
-75% of board members should be governments.
-The geographical scope – global/regional.
-A threshold?
-A reporting obligation (proposal US)?

5. A. Reporting on contributions to trust funds
(types of aid B02/B03)
• Proposal Canada: adding “core” and “non-core”
to B02 and B03 respectively.
• Proposal Czech Republic: all trust funds
B03, independently of their multilateral
character.
• Proposal Italy: clarify the footnote.

6. B. Tracking flows through organisations without
individual channel code (Proposal pilot - Spain)
1. Interested members to send in list of possible
new channel codes.
2. Secretariat to assess result and come up with a
proposed list for approval by WP-STAT.
3. Members to report using these channels for
three years.
4. Secretariat to report back to WP-STAT on the
results and to propose a way forward.

7. C. Visibility of donor efforts in specific sectors
and countries – Imputed multilateral contributions
- Imputed multilateral contributions for
multilateral organisation that are reporting on
their outflows.
- Assigned sector and regions for non-reporting
multilaterals if appropriate (review).

8. C. Visibility of donor efforts in specific sectors and
countries – Imputed multilateral contributions
Norway: what about improving visibility at a
national level (internal reporting)?
-The possibility of using multilateral
imputed contributions and assigned sectors
and regions for internal purposes.
Other options?

9. D. Capturing outflows from non-multilateral
international organisations

10. E. What would the above proposals
mean in practice?
One “List of Developmental International
Organisations” (following the principle of the
Single table)
Subsets of that list:
A. Multilateral organisations (Groups 1 and 2)
B. Organisations for which core contributions
to those organisations have been positively
assessed on ODA-eligibility (Annex 2)
C. Major Channels of Delivery

11. E. What would the above proposals
mean in practice?
