The EU is a key stakeholder in the development of TOSSD as Co-Chair of the International TOSSD Task Force and in the promotion of this metric as an essential metric in the imple- mentation of Agenda 2030. [...] The author is very grateful for the leadership and support by Luca De Fraia, Deputy Secretary General, ActionAid Italy, in his focus on mobilizing CSO perspectives on the development of TOSSD and its political implications for development cooperation. [...] We would also like to take positive note of the level of transparency in the proceedings of the TOSSD Task Force, which has been open to comments and suggestions since its inception, and has recently seated CSO representatives as observers. [...] So it was logical for us to look carefully at the development and implementation of a new metric such as TOSSD, which seeks to become the preeminent statistical measure for capturing all public and publicly leveraged resources in support of the realization of Agenda 2030 in Partner Countries. [...] Good norms, such as good reporting instructions, can help steer the development agenda in the right direction for the benefit of the communities of the Global South.
