Summary

[full-text, 16 pages]
[excerpt]
Faithful to its tradition, the Development Co-operation Report 2007 is characterised by open reporting which has been at the heart of the Development Assistance Committee's work from its inception. The importance of this is all the more evident as we look forward to key international events in 2008. The Report also gives the world's most comprehensive statistics on development co-operation over the past year, and provides some analysis of what the data mean.
Contents
Preface by the OECD Secretary-General
Foreword by the Chairman of the Development Assistance Committee
Chapter 1
The first chapter is a kind of "report-card" on the aid effort, as seen from the DAC Chair's perspective over the past five years. It assesses progress on a number of indicators first set out in the Development Co-operation Report for 2003 to measure how the development community is contributing to the sustainable reduction of poverty.
Chapter 2
This chapter retains twelve of the more prominent examples of the lessons learned or reconfirmed recently concerning effective aid management to achieve development results. Lessons are grouped as follows: at the level of strategy, organisational management, and the management of delivery.
Chapter 3
The third chapter puts DAC's aid effectiveness work into context. It looks at the way aid effectiveness concepts are being implemented in the health sector, and how important issues like human rights, gender or the environment can be addressed within a locally owned approach to development.
Chapter 4
The last chapter provides a short introduction to the aid programmes and performance of each DAC member, and also rightly embraces other OECD countries and significant players outside the OECD for which comparable reporting exists. Five countries were peer reviewed in 2007: Canada, Denmark, the European Community, Finland and Spain.
