Background | In an international context marked by increased concerns about climate change, persisting inequalities, protracted conflicts, growing distrust towards governmental institutions and multilateralism, official development assistance (ODA) is at a critical juncture. Even more so as the development cooperation landscape is marked by a growing diversity of financing sources, providers and forms of cooperation which not only opens new avenues but also requires sustained collaboration and dialogue for maximizing impact towards sustainable development. In this evolving context, the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is a key institution for catalyzing support for the realization of the 2030 Agenda in developing countries. As member of the DAC, Switzerland is actively involved in shaping the work and priorities of the DAC and its subsidiary bodies for it to remain fit for purpose. | |
Objectives | To strenghten and transform development cooperation to deliver the 2030 Agenda, leaving no one behind (OECD DAC, Programme of Work and Budget 2019-2020). | |
Target groups | OECD DAC members (including Switzerland). | |
