In recent years, international development co-operation has shifted from a donor-recipient to a partnership approach, and there is a growing awareness among regional and local policy makers that engaging in DDC can bring reputational, political and economic benefits. The OECD has a solid track record in supporting policy enhancement in this field. Providing evidence-based advice and a peer-learning platform for policy makers is an important part of this effort. Well-designed DDC strategies can help places leverage complementarities with partners and maximise returns to local communities.
