Description: QuODA is an assessment of the Quality of Official Development Assistance provided by 23 countries and more than 150 aid countries. It uses 30 indicators in four dimension that reflect the international consensus of what constitutes high-quality aid: Maximizing efficiency, Fostering institutions, Reducing Burden, Transparency and Learning. This report helps fill the research gap on what might be called aid agency effectiveness by concentrating on measures over which the official donor agencies have control. The universe to date for the study includes the 23 countries that are members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD. They provided aid amounting to $120 billion in 2009 through 156 bilateral and 263 multilateral agencies.
