Development Assistance Committee (DAC) peer reviews serve both learning and accountability. This report is the result of an in-depth consultation and review process. It was produced by a review team comprising peer reviewers from France (Eric David, Permanent Delegation of France to the OECD, and Sophie Villette, Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and Slovenia (Jana Erzetič, Permanent Delegation of Slovenia to the OECD, and Eva Nastav, Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs), together with an observer from Türkiye (Yahya Gülseven, Turkish International Cooperation and Coordination Agency). From the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, Joëlline Bénéfice, Policy Analyst, served as the lead analyst for the review, together with Nestor Pelecha Aigues, Policy Analyst, and Jenny Hedman, Policy Analyst. Renwick Irvine, Team Lead Peer Reviews, oversaw the review. Samantha Proteau provided logistical assistance to the review and formatted and produced the report. The report was prepared under the supervision of Robin Ogilvy, Head of Division, Reforms and Partnerships for Development Impact. The report was edited by Susan Sachs.
The team are grateful for valuable inputs from across the Development Co-operation Directorate – including from the Financing for Sustainable Development division – and the OECD, in particular; the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration; the Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs; the Directorate for Legal Affairs; the Directorate for Public Governance; the Economics Department; the Development Centre; and the Financial Action Task Force. Written submissions from a selection of Canada’s partners helped to focus and enrich the review.
The Peer Review of Canada benefited throughout the process from the commitment and dedication of representatives of Global Affairs Canada. The review team is also thankful to Canada’s High Commission in Nigeria, who ensured smooth contact with local counterparts as well as documentation, insights and logistical support.
