But little evaluative material is available on the impact of these interventions on investment and employment in developing countries. The objective of this Policy Guidance is to help DAC members use their ODA more effectively to mobilise private investment for development. Please see www.oecd.org/dac/investment.

A context-specific rationale is always required for providing imported commodity aid rather than financial aid.
