Malta – Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Very Poor

64

OVERVIEW

Malta is not a member of IATI, however as an EU Member State it is part of the EU’s collective commitment to both the EU Transparency Guarantee and the Busan common standard, of which IATI is a core component. It is yet to publish an implementation schedule. Malta is participating in the EU-13 project for enhancing ODA reporting capacity and systems. It has joined OGP but its National Action Plan lacks any commitments specific to aid transparency.

ANALYSIS

Malta scores 6.6%, placing it in the very poor category. It ranks 46th out of 50 bilateral organisations. Malta scores on just two activity-level indicators – tied-aid status and flow type – which are not assessed on a per activity basis. No comprehensive listing of current aid activities funded by Malta could be found on the MFA’s website. At the organisation level, Malta scores on just three indicators – organisation strategy, allocation policy and procurement policy. No further information on Maltese development cooperation appears to be systematically published. Malta does not publish any information in machine-readable formats. Overall, it scores on just six of the 39 indicators. The MFA declined to comment on the survey, stating that the questions are not suited to assess Maltese ODA.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Malta should join IATI and begin publishing to the IATI Standard as soon as possible in order to meet the 2015 deadline. It should publish an ambitious schedule, with specific timelines and delivery targets, aiming towards full implementation of the IATI Standard by the end of 2015.
  • In the short term, it should use the EU-DEVFIN platform, which aims to enhance EU-13 ODA reporting capacity and systems, to publish current data in accordance with the IATI Standard. It should work to publish directly from its own systems by the end of 2015.
  • Malta should develop an OGP National Action Plan that includes ambitious commitments on aid transparency.
