Budget support and SWAps constitute a growing share of the official development aid. But there is a lack of accessible and comprehesible information on results of this kind of aid, in particular to the financers of the development support, namely the taxpayers in the donor countries.

The report is based on interviews with 40 development aid officers from around 10 different countries. The most important conclusion of the report is that the partner country should have the ownership of this kind of reporting and that it should be harmonized and aligned with other development practices.

Furthermore, it is not only the taxpayers in the donor countries that need accesible and comprehensible information about the use of the money vested in sector- and budget support. The taxpayers in the partner countries have the same needs, which must be taken into consideration when designing an information flow-back model.
