How we work
OECD Development Assistance Committee
The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is a unique international forum of 32 members, including many of the largest providers of aid. The World Bank, IMF, UNDP, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank and Inter-American Development Bank have observer status. For more than 60 years, the DAC has been tasked with defining and monitoring global standards in development co-operation.
What we are working on
The DCD holds donors to account by monitoring their pledges and disbursements for the long-term development of countries most in need. The Directorate publishes detailed data broken down by countries and regions, and by sectors of development co-operation, for both bilateral and multilateral development finance. It works to improve the accuracy of the DAC statistical system, by clarifying ambiguities on an ongoing basis to ensure uniform, consistent reporting.
The DCD helps bring together public and private development co-operation providers to mobilise finance for sustainable development, and find innovative solutions to filling the ever-increasing financing gap. Its trusted, comparable, and publicly available statistics are the cornerstone of accountability, and an essential element of decision making in development finance.
