The Development Co-operation Report, issued by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), is the key annual reference document for statistics and analysis on the latest trends in international aid. In his debut Development Co-operation Report, Eckhard Deutscher, who recently took over as Chairman of the DAC, reports back on the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness and the need to step up our efforts to make aid work better for developing countries. Development budgets have to contend not only with today's economic and financial crises; the development landscape has also changed radically over recent years, posing new challenges. "It is strikingly evident," he writes, "that more of the same will not get us there." The report also addresses fragmentation, a major problem when aid comes in too many small slices from too many directions. It maintains that transaction costs are escalated by inefficient division of labour among donors and that partner governments need to have complete and transparent forward spending figures if they are to pull their countries out of poverty. All of this adds up to a change in the power relationship between donors and their aid partners. Finally, drawing on case studies from a number of countries, the Report offers five lessons on how the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness can be used to make the link between development policy and human rights, environmental sustainability and gender equality. This issue is also published on line as part of our efforts to improve the accessibility of key OECD DAC work and respond to the needs of the aid community by giving prompt and easy access to the best available analyses and statistics.
