AusAID has moved quickly to implement the ‘Australian Multilateral Assessment’, a process recommended by the Government’s Independent Review of Aid Effectiveness. This process is designed to assess multilateral institutions by ranking them against a fixed set of criteria.

As part of our ‘Tracking the Aid Review’ project, AID/WATCH will be releasing alternative profiles of multilateral agencies that consider criteria that AusAID is not looking at, including ecological impact and footprint, genuine pro-poor focus and commitment to working with the poor, not merely on their behalf.
