<title><![CDATA[Australia: Can deliver a growing aid budget effectively and efficiently]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Australia delivered USD 5.44 billion in official development assistance (ODA) last year, or 0.36% of its gross national income. It is the eighth most generous country in the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC), which groups the world’s major donors. Australia’s goal is to reach 0.5% of GNI by 2017 – a goal the DAC encourages it to follow through on, given its good track record and relatively strong economy. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Aid to poor countries slips further as governments tighten budgets]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Development aid fell by 4% in real terms in 2012, following a 2% fall in 2011.  The continuing financial crisis and euro zone turmoil has led several governments to tighten their budgets, which has had a direct impact on aid to poor countries.  There is also a noticeable shift in aid away from the poorest countries and towards middle-income countries.  A moderate recovery in aid levels is expected in 2013.]]></description>
