This special edition of the Development Co-operation Report to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), prefaced by United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, features contributions from noted actors in development who have helped in their various capacities to shape thinking on the important issues and needs that face us today. Presenting their contributions, DAC Chair J. Brian Atwood highlights the role the DAC has played over the past 50 years and signals its continuing relevance in meeting the challenges ahead.
The book opens with chapters by former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, UNDP Administrator Helen Clark and African Development Bank President Donald Kaberuka, reflecting on lessons learned over the past 50 years of development co-operation.
Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director of UN Women, Hernando de Soto, President of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy, Sadako Ogata, President of the Japan International Co-operation Agency, and R.K. Pachauri, Chair of the International Panel on Climate Change, provide insights on the challenges of gender equality, empowerment, inclusive development and climate change, respectively.
Former DAC Chair Richard Manning and former Director General of the French Development Agency Jean-Michel Severino look ahead to future challenges for official development assistance.
The annex on the profiles and efforts of DAC member countries has been expanded to include data that has never been included in this report before, on core versus non-core flows, aid untying, ODA in support of gender equality, flows targeted to meet the Rio Conventions and humanitarian aid.
The special 50th anniversary statistical annex (www.oecd.org/dac/stats/dcrannex) takes a look at trends in development flows over the past 50 years, highlighting, among others things, ODA compared to other flows; ODA as a percent of gross national income (GNI) per capita; distribution of ODA by donor, region, type of country and sector; and aid quality indicators.
