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 New Zealand (Cameron Cowan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Rosie Zwart, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade) and Sweden (Erik Jonsson, Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and Nina Geladze Ekstedt, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency). From the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, Anita King, Policy Analyst, served as the lead analyst for the review, together with Gregory De Paepe, Policy Analyst. Renwick Irvine, Team Lead Peer Reviews, oversaw the review. Samantha Proteau provided logistical assistance to the review, and formatted and produced the report. The report was prepared under the supervision of Rahul Malhotra, Head of Division, Reviews, Results, Evaluation and Development Innovation. The report was edited by Jennifer Allain.
