Development Assistance Committee (DAC)
The bilateral donor community discusses the quality and quantity of the development assistance in the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
During the past few years, a staff member of the IEFI Administration’s bilateral entity has followed, among other things, the activities of DAC concerning:
-
the untying of aid;
-
the statistical charging of the debt relief;
-
the discount rate to be used to calculate the grant element;
-
the development assistance effectiveness.*
* these activities led to the “Paris declaration on aid effectiveness”.
The participation in the DAC’s activities occurs in collaboration and co-ordination with civil servants of the Directorate-General for Development Cooperation (DGDC) of the FPS Foreign Affairs.
