The Development Co-operation Report, issued by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), is the key annual reference for statistics and analysis on the latest trends in international aid.
With only five years left to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), much remains to be done. The task has become even more challenging given the economic, food and climate change crises of recent years. This report describes how the DAC has responded swiftly, putting the development dimension of these crises firmly on the political agenda and keeping the development community focused on providing more aid, and delivering it more effectively.
In times of economic uncertainty, it is particularly important for aid to provide value for money, and to ensure that it is not misused. The development community has responded by sharpening its focus on corruption; targeting and communicating clear development impacts; working increasingly through developing countries’ own systems to build capacity; and intensifying efforts in the poorest 30% of developing countries – a critical step toward achieving the MDGs. The report also describes how the DAC member countries intend to make their aid truly effective in the decades to come, by ensuring that climate change is addressed in each of their policy choices and by developing a broader, more inclusive approach.

Netherlands
The Netherlands is committed to meeting all its Paris and Accra promises, especially using country systems, predictability, (mutual) accountability and transparency, results orientation, division of labour and aid effectiveness in fragile situations. The Netherlands’ Action Plan for Paris and Accra (NAPA) shifts the country into a higher gear: a major component involves a stocktaking and priority-setting exercise with embassies in 30 partner countries. This will have an impact on work at country level and will inform headquarters of the most immediate and effective actions to be taken based on concrete experience from the field.
