OECD work on development is carried out primarily by the Development Co-operation Directorate/DAC, the Development Centre, the Sahel & West Africa Club/SWAC and the Centre for Co-operation with Non-Members/CCNM. These four entities work toward contributing to the development of both OECD members and non-members. The large number of themes (listed on the left) reflects the variety and ever increasing areas of work of these OECD bodies as they seek to respond to the global policy concerns of the development world.

Where do donors need to step up their efforts? The Chair of the DAC Working Party on Aid Effectiveness also offers his perspective on where aid is heading.
