please help me with this meaning!
" All DAC members except Hungary reported against the marker on their 2016  ODA flows. "
and
"Only 18 out of the  30 DAC members reported against this code in the first year of reporting. "

what does "report against" mean here?

Answer

It seems to me (from this https://www.oecd.org/dac/gender-development/Aid-to-gender-overview-2018.pdf) that gender identity marker is a tool used to identify if and how the objectives of aid programs in different countries are related to gender equity.

I think that "reported against" means "using this code/tool"

The writing in this report is AWFUL!!!
