Studies on Official Development Assistance (ODA) resource flows earmarked for Brazil and on its concessional credit

There is a need and an opportunity to improve the instruments available to the Brazilian government for public policy analysis—mainly its analytical aspects—in the fields of cooperation for international development and the aid received by the country regarding the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This project aimed at conducting a study to identify, classify, and qualify the flows of ODA resources earmarked for Brazil, focusing on sustainable development projects.
