ANALYSIS

MINEFI scores 12.2%, placing it in the very poor category. It ranks 35^th out of 49 bilateral organisations and last of the three French organisations. It does not consistently publish activity-level information about its development programmes. It only scores on contracts and tenders, which are not assessed on a per activity basis. Although MINEFI has started publishing activity-level information on data.gouv.fr, this information is not current and therefore could not be taken into account for the purposes of the Index. MINEFI performs best on planning at the organisation level, scoring on all indicators except country strategy. However, it does not make available forward-looking recipient country budgets at the organisation level.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• MINEFI should work with the MAE and AFD to begin publication of IATI information for priority recipient countries in early 2014.
• It should then update its implementation schedule by mid-2014 to include ambitious plans for expanding its IATI publication to include all aid activities in all countries. This will ensure that France can meet its commitment to full publication of the IATI component of the Busan common standard by the end of 2015.
