Event Description:

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is a high level policy forum for almost all of the world’s bilateral donors. As a condition of membership, each donor is required to submit to a process of review by its peers. As Chair of the DAC, Richard Manning not only guides the DAC through each peer review but also is able to authoritatively compare individual performance with latest overall trends in development practice by the international donor community.

This presentation will highlight a number of the latest emerging trends of world development co-operation in comparison with the current policies and programs of the United States Government, which was reviewed by the DAC in December 2006.
