Analysis of the Non-profit Sector in the EU10 for Monitoring and Control

The report "Analysis of the EU10 Non-profit Sector for Monitoring and Control" has been written in the context of the European Commission forum "Support against Terrorist Financing"by Directorate General Justice, Liberty and Security (JLS), and of a Joint Research Centre (JRC) research project to support monitoring and control for EU aid funds. The report's purpose is to give an overview of the non-profit sector in EU10 with specific attention to the prevention of fraudulent use of funds in this sector, in general, and terrorist financing in particular. This report is complementary to the report "Analysis of the EU15 Non-profit Sector for Monitoring and Control" which sets out the context of the current work in detail and also contains information regarding the classification and definitions used for the non profit sector.JRC.G.2-Support to external securit

Fragmentation of Development Aid

We present a new way to measure aid fragmentation, by trying to consider the significance of donor-partner country aid relations in financial terms as suggested in the OECD approach as well as multiple aspects of this phenomenon, connected with the coordination among donors, the commitment between donors and recipients and the resilience of the recipient countries.JRC.G.2-Global security and crisis managemen

A composite index of aid fragmentation

The paper mainly contributes to the problem of measurement of aid fragmentation, prioritised by the Accra Agenda for Action in 2008. Here, a new index is proposed by considering the significance of donor-partner country aid relations in financial terms as well as multiple aspects of this phenomenon relating to coordination among donors, the commitment between donors and recipients, and the resilience of the recipient countries. As measurability renders countries accountable, and as a good system of accountability can change behaviour in the development community, this analysis and maintaining it over time can have a crucial role towards orienting further donor efforts in development aid and towards guiding their budget allocation.JRC.E.1-Disaster Risk Managemen
