Development Assistance Committee  

Definition

  • Acting under the auspices of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) collects and analyzes development data and provides a forum where the world's major bilateral aid donors meet to discuss, review, and coordinate aid policy with the objective of expanding the volume and effectiveness of official resource transfers to developing nations. The DAC does not disburse aid but seeks to harmonize and encourage the development assistance policies of its members. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Development Assistance Committee]
