1. Collect and publish timely information and comprehensive statistics of official and private flows to all countries and territories on the DAC List of Aid recipients.

2. Improve consistency, presentation and coverage to reflect current development co-operation priorities and classifications.

3. Update reporting guidance to maintain comparable statistics.

4. Improve reporting and comparability of statistics on the tying status of aid.

5. Support the work on changing patterns of development finance and the increasing role of private flows.
