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. The Committee also urged Finland to stick to its target of allocating 0.7% of its gross national income to development assistance by 2015.

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.
