Donors release strategic documents that detail their objectives and are usually country-based, while others are sector-focused. These strategies provide a roadmap with a specific time frame, location, and objectives and aim to inform development professionals — including policymakers, implementers, and other funders — about planned commitments. Country strategy plans provide an early look into the specifics of donor investing in the upcoming years. But this information is often dispersed across a variety of sources in a decentralized manner.
Devex Analytics has aggregated the strategic documents and strategies starting in 2019 and 2020 to provide a better understanding of what these plans entail. The analysis assesses data from 205 country strategies spanning over 100 locations from 25 donors, all of which can be readily found on the Devex Funding Platform.
Out of 112 countries, four regions, and worldwide strategies, the country with the highest number of individual strategies for 2019 and 2020 was Bhutan.
