It interacts closely with other units in DCD/POL (Policy Co-ordination: Governance, Conflict and Fragility, Environment, Gender) and DCD divisions working on Aid Effectiveness (DCD/EFF), Peer Reviews and Evaluation (DCD/PEER), as well as a wide number of OECD actors outside the Development Co-operation area. |
