Our donors

Core Donors

The Core Donors’ Group (CDG) was established in 2007 to coordinate donor funding to icddr,b following the Paris Declaration on aid effectiveness. The Paris Declaration is a practical, action-orientated roadmap to improve the quality of aid and its impact on development.

Currently there are five core donors providing unrestricted support to icddr,b:

• Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID)
• Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh (GoB)
• Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
• Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)
• The Department for International Development, UK (DFID)

The objective of the Core Donors’ Group is to ensure and strengthen cooperation between these donors and icddr,b, by developing the Centre’s capacity and resources to achieve the goals of its Strategic Plan. The CDG also ensures that this cooperation is based on a shared commitment to the values and principles expressed in the Centre’s vision and mission, and a mutual respect for the autonomy, values and principles of all the core donors.

The CDG also ensures harmonization between our supporters in the provision of support and resources, and the reporting and monitoring of progress and performance by ICDDR,B, following the agreed Monitoring and Evaluation Framework.
