Demand-Driven Data: How Partner Countries are Gathering Chinese Development Cooperation Information

As part of the global initiative to support developing countries in their quest for greater information sharing about development cooperation flows, the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) was established at the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan in 2011. In the 2014 GPEDC progress report, eleven partner countries reported on Chinese financial flows for the first time, a significant increase from previous years. These countries include Cambodia, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar, Mali, Moldova, Nepal, Philippines, Samoa, Senegal, Tajikistan, and Togo. Furthermore, the report provides information on these countries' public financial management systems, and the extent of their respective mutual accountability frameworks.
