摘要 | The new European Commission (EC) policy of ‘differentiation’ aims to recalibrate its development cooperation with middle-income countries (MICs), and introduces two significant changes: (1) new aid allocation criteria; and (2) differentiated development partnerships for different categories of countries. Differentiation will be applied in two stages of aid allocation: firstly, in terms of eligibility to bilateral development aid (this is new), and secondly, in terms of aid allocation at the programming stage. Under current proposals, grant-based bilateral aid administered through geographic programmes will be cut from 19 countries from 2014 onwards. Countries will graduate if classified as upper-middle-income countries or if they have a share of global GDP greater than 1%. Other factors will be considered, including the Human Development Index, the Economic Vulnerability Index, aid dependency, economic growth levels and foreign direct investment. Differentiation will currently be applied to just one EC development instrument – the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) which funds 46 countries from Latin America, Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East, as well as South Africa. Under current proposals, around €3.1 billion could be potentially be freed up from 2014 to 2020 through this policy. The funds saved through differentiation will be reallocated to the remaining 27 countries in the DCI. 15 of these countries are categorised as least-developed countries (LDCs), other low-income countries (OLICs) or fragile states. This ODI working paper explains the EC’s new policy and looks at its implications for developing countries. The first section defines the features of the new policy, while the second section shows how it impacts on what countries receive in grant-based aid from the EC. The third section analyses six key challenges that the EC should consider in the design and implementation of the new policy:
