The Development Assistance Committee found Finland to be a committed development co-operation actor. Finland has signed up to the Paris Declaration, but needs to make sure that its proposals to make aid more effective and to increase coherence among policies that affect development bring real results.

With an ODA/GNI ratio of 0.92% Norway ranked first among DAC Members in 2003 and is approaching the 1% target set by the Norwegian government for 2005. It was the first creditor nation in 2000 to offer 100% debt forgiveness to LDCs involved in the initiative in favour of Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), with debt forgiveness treated over and above ODA budgets. Norway has also become one of the major donors financing humanitarian action and stands out as a positive example on how to respond to humanitarian needs.
