A new agenda for development: the role of development cooperation in the Italian G7 Presidency

Building on the first phase of IAI’s partnership with Focus 2030, this project aims to continue fostering an evidence-based and multistakeholder conversation on Italy’s ODA, in light of the OECD-DAC 0.7% GNI/ODA commitment and the persisting, multiple crises that are demanding policymakers’ attention. Particular emphasis will be given to Italy’s 2024 Presidency of the G7, shedding light on the development issues that G7 leaders should prioritise under the Italian lead, hence informing a donor-aligned development agenda. To do so, IAI will engage with policy officers, lawmakers and civil society representatives through research and engagement activities, namely a public opinion survey on citizens’ engagement on development issues, public and closed-door events with stakeholders, policy analysis and recommendations for Italian and G7 policymakers.
