DAC global relations

Arab-DAC Dialogue on Development, 26-27 January 2015, Paris

 

The Arab-DAC Dialogue on Development was one of the first events in 2015 that brought together Arab countries and institutions and members of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), two communities that include most of the major providers of concessional development finance to developing countries. The effectiveness of our support to developing countries depends to a considerable extent on our ability to forge trust and partnerships among each other.


The objective of the 2015 Arab-DAC Dialogue on Development was to identify opportunities for Arab countries and institutions, DAC members and international institutions to build partnerships and be more effective in supporting developing countries in their efforts to achieve development goals. The discussions focused on strengthening the means of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the area of reducing trade and investment costs to promote private sector development and ensuring sustainable energy for all.
