Development Assistance Committee (DAC) peer reviews function as a tool for both learning and accountability. This report is the result of an in-depth consultation and review process. It was produced by a review team comprising peer reviewers from Korea (Jonghan Park, Minister Counsellor, Permanent Delegation of Korea to the OECD and Hyeri Lee, First Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the Slovak Republic (Ivana Ruttkayova, DAC Delegate, Permanent Delegation of the Slovak Republic to the OECD, and Tomaš Bokor, Director, Slovak Agency for International Development Co-operation).
From the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, Emily Bosch, Policy Analyst, served as the lead analyst for the review, together with Gaia Manselli, Policy Analyst. Renwick Irvine, Team Lead Peer Reviews, oversaw the review. Katharina Satzinger, Lia Amato, and Autumn Lynch provided logistical assistance, and formatted and produced the report. Yasmin Ahmad and Elena Bernaldo de Quiros verified the data. The report was prepared under the supervision of Rahul Malhotra, Head of Division, Reviews, Results, Evaluation and Development Innovation, and edited by Fiona Hinchcliffe.
The team are grateful for valuable inputs from across the Development Co-operation Directorate – including from the Financing for Sustainable Development division and the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation – and the OECD, in particular the Directorate for Legal Affairs; the Directorate for Public Governance; the Economics Department; the Financial Action Task Force; and the Multilateral Organisation Performance Assessment Network. Written submissions from a selection of Iceland’s partners helped to focus and enrich the review.
Throughout the process, the Peer Review of Iceland benefited from the commitment and dedication of representatives of Iceland’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
