Making Development Co-operation Fit for the Future
A Survey of Partner Countries
This paper provides insights into what partner country governments anticipate will be their main
development challenges within five to ten years, and into how they expect their relationships with DAC
development assistance providers to evolve in order to meet these challenges. Based on results from an
OECD-commissioned survey of 40 developing country governments, it finds that demand for
development co-operation will remain strong given the economic and environmental challenges that lie
ahead. However, the countries surveyed expect DAC providers to shift to a more enabling role in the
coming years: providing vital finance, but in support of government-led sector programmes; delivering
more and better technical and policy support; and leveraging more private finance. This paper will inform
the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate’s ‘Agency of the Future’ project, which seeks to identify
how DAC members’ development administrations will need to adapt in order to be fit for purpose in a
rapidly changing world.
