Listening to Leaders Survey 2018: Is development cooperation turn-in or tone-deaf?

Do leaders, citizens and donors agree on the most important development challenges that need to be solved in the countries where they work? Whose support and what conditions make progress more or less likely? Which international donors do leaders consider to be their preferred development partners? To answer these questions, the Listening to Leaders 2018 report draws upon the unique experiences and perspectives of government officials, civil society leaders, private sector representatives, and development partners working on the ground in developing countries. Nearly 3,500 leaders working in 22 sectors of development policy in 126 low- and middle-income countries shared their insights via AidData’s 2017 Listening to Leaders Survey.
