This thematic brief was prepared under the overall strategic guidance of Suzanne Steensen, Head of the MOPAN Secretariat. The study was peer reviewed by Patrick Saez, Senior Policy Advisor, in his capacity as Head of MOPAN’s Insights Team.
The brief was conceptualised and led by Erik Engberg, Policy Advisor in collaboration with Patrick Tiefenbacher of Global Goals Consulting, who led the analysis and drafted the brief. The primary sources of evidence for the analysis are the 2021 MOPAN assessments of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contributions of John Hendra, who provided external peer review.
MOPAN would also like to convey its appreciation to UNDP and UNOPS for their close engagement and fact-checking comments.
MOPAN is grateful to all Steering Committee representatives and member countries for their financial contributions, which made this brief possible.
