How are donor countries responding to COVID-19? Early analyses and trends to watch

Over the last few months, the Donor Tracker team has been following the rapidly developing international response to the COVID-19 crisis.

The implications of this pandemic are far greater than its immediate health effects since it has become clear that the longer-term economic and humanitarian ramifications of the crisis are likely to be just as dire. This is especially true in low- and middle-income countries and for vulnerable populations.

So far, the global community has mobilized billions of dollars to the international effort to mitigate the multi-dimensional impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic. This Donor Tracker Insights piece examines OECD donor countries’ international response to the COVID-19 crisis so far, as well as trends to watch out for in the coming weeks and months. We hope that these insights may inform the work of global development advocates, governments, multilaterals, and other organizations during this unprecedented crisis.
