I'm looking at a footnote in your brief here, “Only in specific instances such as grant-based technical assistance and capacity building components should they be reportable as ODA”. You go on to note, however, “there is evidence that developing countries care more about scale, speed and responsiveness of development finance partners and less and less about the modality and level of concessionality.”
Could you expand on that? What I interpret from that is although the financial contribution made by a Canadian DFI might not technically fit under the category of ODA, so you couldn't book it that way, what matters much more is the perspective of those countries that benefit. Those countries that are looking to grow economically might not care at all that it can't be booked as ODA. What they care about is investment.
Could you expand on that? That's how I interpret your point. Is that correct?
