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.
