This project aimed to fuel a evidence-based and multi-stakeholder debate on Italy’s official development assistance (ODA), in view of the OECD-DAC commitment to allocate 0.7 percent of gross national income (GNI) to ODA, and in light of persisting, multiple crises that require the strengthening and continuous updating of development cooperation programmes. In 2024, the research team gave particular emphasis to the role of the Italian G7 Presidency, examining the development issues that G7 leaders have prioritized as part of a development agenda that can benefit from convergent action.
