Policies in areas like agriculture, trade, investment, migration and others have a profound impact on developing countries, yet they often work at cross-purposes. An OECD initiative on policy coherence for development explores ways to ensure that government policies are mutually supportive of the countries' development goals. (more)

It is important to analyse which factors contribute to better achievement of policy coherence for development (PCD) and what constitute the major challenges. Better understanding of the conditions needed for the success of PCD helps to draw strategic lessons for future work.
Policy coherence for development has been an integral part of the DAC peer reviews since 2002. This report synthesises the PCD results of DAC peer reviews up until 2007. For progress beyond 2007, please visit www.oecd.org/dac/peerreviews.

Africa has made progress but faces enormous challenges. How to promote sustainable economic growth, how to build sound governance systems, how to tackle the challenge of climate change.
