Most developing countries grew at impressive rates during the first five years of this Century, managing to pull millions of people out of poverty. But now their perspectives are bleak: by the end of the year, the number of poor people can increase by more than 100 million. In the last seven years, a range of new financing mechanisms have been launched. The time has come to take stock of this wealth of experiences and to look in more detail at their impact on the global aid architecture and on countries’ strategies, priorities and systems.

Its aid volume was USD 2.67 billion in 2007, representing 0.32% of its gross national income (GNI). Australia has committed to contributing 0.5% of its GNI to official development assistance (ODA) by 2015/16.

DAC’s engagement in fragile situations saw a step change with the launch of a new International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF), bringing together the former Network on Conflict, Peace and Development Cooperation (CPDC) and the Fragile States Group (FSG) into one forum. Over the past years, these two networks had addressed challenges posed by fragile and conflict affected countries. INCAF’s work will further build upon this, but moving beyond aid management concerns to examine the substantive policy issues of security, peace building and state capacity.
