Is The DAC Still Fit for Purpose?

Official Development Assistance (ODA) isn’t what it used to be: each aid dollar is worth a lot less in terms of development outcomes. In large part that’s because the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the donor club within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that decides what counts as ODA, keeps changing the rules to include ever more spending that doesn’t deliver resources to recipient countries. It raises the question: does the DAC have a constructive role anymore?
