Peer Reviews of DAC Members

DAC peer reviews (www.oecd.org/dac/peerreviews) are a central and unique OECD activity. The reviews monitor individual members' efforts and performance in the area of development co-operation. Each member is critically examined approximately once every four years; this way five or six programmes are examined annually. Consult the timetable for Peer Reviews here.
