This report and the toolkit are the outcomes of a project carried out by the Organisation for Economit Co-operation and Development (OECD). The project was funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Service Agency Communities in One World (SKEW) by Engagement Global.
The report assesses decentralised development cooperation (DDC) policies, strategies, programmes and financing in Germany as well as related challenges, and offers concrete recommendations on how to address them together with an action plan for the short, medium and long terms.
The toolkit compiles nearly 30 best practices by national and subnational governments for effective, efficient and inclusive DDC partnerships.
