Since the Monterrey Consensus  in 2002, questions about broader development finance, including how to best mobilise private resources for development, have been at the heart of the political debate on development finance. To respond to the increasing analytical needs in this area, the Secretariat of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is working to improve the quality and policy-relevance of its statistics on resource flows to developing countries beyond Official Development Assistance (ODA).

 

On-going workstreams to improve DAC statistics beyond ODA

• Amounts mobilised from the private sector for development
• The role of philanthropy in financing for development
• Mobilising Institutional Investors for Financing Sustainable Development
