 First I want to ask you two gentlemen if what we saw that there has been a lot of more greener aid but it's more fragmented and why is that do you think? Sure, so my first answer to that question would be that donors, this reflects donor politics within donor countries. It reflects broader political and economic considerations so our data run through 2008 and we're currently in the process of updating it beyond that through at least 2010 so it doesn't really, the recent financial crisis of 2008 doesn't really factor into the results that I showed a moment ago. That's one potential question that I want to make clear but we expect that the financial crisis would only if anything it really amplify those trends. And why is that? Why is it better for countries to do bilateral than multilateral? Well because to the extent that donors are concerned not just to generate environmental benefits in recipient countries but to also generate sort of spin-off benefits for domestic constituencies. Jobs. Jobs such as aid providers for example engineering or contracting firms, donors can exert much greater control by working through bilateral agencies than by contributing money to multilateral organizations where there are just one principle among many. And so for that reason I would expect that this trend towards bilateralization has certainly continued and possibly intensified but we're hoping to discover more specific information about that. A moment to say, Cesar do you think it would be better for Uganda to have multilateral or those bilateral because when we saw all the different recipients giving to a lot of different things what do you think would be better for Uganda's case? I wouldn't say it's better for the multilateral, bilateral. I think what matters is the management of the aid itself whether it comes from the bilateral, multilateral to get the impact on the ground it's about managing the funds. And what do you see? Of course the multilateral, the sum, the amount of money given by the multilateral organizations is much bigger than the bilateral in many cases. The amount but you talk about effectiveness. Effectiveness on the ground it depends on the management of the resources. So it could be anything? Yeah. I was just wondering whether or not it's too early to start being very pessimistic or if it's too early to read much into that bilateral aid flow is it not possible that given this increase in enthusiasm to invest in environmental issues in some ways the bilateral is the quick start and it takes time I mean working for the UN we know it takes time to mobilize multilateral organizations there may be resistance from large developing countries to come to an agreement on how multilateral organizations should mobilize. So is it not possible that all we're seeing is an inertia in the multilateral system and that with time the bilateral aid will transfer over to those multilateral organizations? I think it's very interesting the work that you're doing and I think it's going to be very interesting to see the continuation of that. We had a chance to work on some of your data and also observing this trend that you have portrayed there and looking into many of the aid agreements from 2006 onwards it was clear that it was smaller aid agreement in preparation for this climate summit in Copenhagen. So it's bilateral agencies giving support to X country and to prepare them and help their preparations for the summit and and I would expect that that trend would then drop after 2009 not saying that it will take it completely but I think much of that extra bilateral effort would would be off now. That's Helen Monk Rabnebar. She will talk a little bit later. Would you comment on this? I go Chris. Yeah I two quick things one to hello first I hope you're right. I think we have good theoretical reasons for believing that aid is more effective when it's coordinated through multilateral agencies. So I hope you're right I'm a little I'm I'm worried that you're not right. You know so one of that well one of the problems I think we if you read I'd be really interested to hear from folks who work for Danita Ceda or USAID or some other development agency. One of the problems I think that we have is as we've given as Chris suggested as the rules in multilateral institutions have changed to give developing countries more power in allocating the type of finance and where the money goes I think some donor governments have been nervous about you know delegating more allocation authority to multilats and so they control it more bilaterally and they can direct it to the things they want to direct and I think they want to direct it to green finance not brown. A second quick point I'd like to make is just in response to this question about what would Ugandan's like and obviously it says is in a very good position to answer that. There is a new study that's just been done by Nielsen Findlay and Milner where they do a randomized control trial and they ask Ugandan citizens would you rather get your you know this particular project financed by the US by the World Bank by China or by the Ugandan government and they have I thought what I thought were really interesting and counterintuitive findings so anyway if you want to follow up on that I think that's a good study to look at. Efraim Konya from IFPRI. The question goes to the first presenter did you include aid to military among the 38th and secondly the World Bank was shown to be among the big donors in the country but I'm doubting that. Is that including the credit that is given to the countries and they're gonna pay back is that included also as aid while it is actually a credit? Mofaldi Dwarth from African Development Bank so I have one comment which is I would expand from our experience we see that more and more we are investing more and more on climate change and the trend has been increasing after 2018 in fact it increased after 2010 but the issue will be in relative terms compared to the amount overall amount dedicated to climate change how much will it go through multilateral and bilateral I think in absolute terms we will see much more investment from from multilaterals but the relative the relativeness of of this and in terms of your argument of bilateral versus multilaterally something interesting to follow on I had another question which was on the aid data.org your classification of climate change does it follow the OECD real markers because we know that the OECD real markers classification on climate change has been questioned as over coding climate change activity so I'm wondering whether your classification differs from the OECD one. Now you can really hear the difficulties with statistics and especially when it comes to to aid can you answer this very shortly please because we are over time yes I can answer very quickly no we do not include military assistance in Dirty Aid we include development finance which is a bit broader than official development assistance but we don't include military aid with respect to real markers for example no our coding it's not in any way based on real markers the database includes that information where relevant and it might be an interesting project to see the disparity between our coding and real markers over time to see just the extent to which real markers may have been manipulated for political purposes perhaps but but no we use a separate coding that was one of the reasons for this for the center prices to ensure consistency in coding over time and across donors thank you very much ladies and gentlemen and we will follow you all closely in the future thank you
