In 2004, the DAC Network on Development Evaluation commissioned a new study on joint evaluations to focus on recent experiences, new and evolving issues and the partner country perspective. A literature review and consultations with representatives of donor agencies, civil society and consultants was undertaken and a consultative workshop with developing country partners was held in Nairobi. The report to the DAC Network on Development Evaluation, Joint Evaluations, Recent Experiences, Lessons Learnt, and Options for the Future was presented by Horst Breier in June 2005.

In 2004, Belgium was in ninth position among the DAC countries in terms of the percentage of GNI allocated to official development assistance (ODA), with a ratio of 0.41%. The DAC congratulated Belgium on its commitment to reach 0.7% by 2010, which is backed by the introduction of a legal and budgetary mechanism providing for an increase of 0.05% per year until 2010. The ratio of 0.45% is likely to be attained in 2005. Subsequent to the DAC Peer Review of Belgium, read about the DAC's Main Findings and Recommendations here.

The reforms introduced by New Zealand's agency NZAID have addressed problems identified in the previous DAC peer review by fostering strategic focus and development expertise. The DAC found that in practice the semi-autonomous status of NZAID is working successfully. Its independent staffing structures and strong policy and programme development capacities are well-aligned with international thinking on aid effectiveness and the UN Millennium Development Goals. But New Zealand should back up those ambitions with a clear programme of medium-term increases in aid.

The scope of this study is to assess the importance of incentive systems internal to aid agencies in their efforts to deliver on the commitments made in the Rome Declaration on Harmonisation. It looks at different factors which influence individual and collective behaviour in aid agencies, and discusses whether these work for or against the adoption of harmonised practices and of the new paradigm in development cooperation based on donor coordination and country ownership.
