Development Co-operation Report 2007

14-Feb-2008

In 2006, the total ODA provided by the members of  the DAC fell to USD 104.4 billion, 4.5% lower than in 2005. In real terms, this is the first fall in ODA since 1997. On the other hand, both donors and recipient countries have made considerable efforts to improve the quality and effectiveness of ODA. There have been notable improvements, for example, in the way aid is delivered and managed in the health and basic education sectors. The Development Co-operation Report 2007 paints a frank picture of how the donor community has fared in keeping its commitments over the past five years.
