NGOs and the OECD-DAC’s peer review of 2012

The DAC peer review which took place in 2012 (see p. 18) resulted in a number of recommendations concerning the collaboration between the ministry and NGOs. Among these, the ministry acknowledged the need for greater coordination in the field, between NGOs and the embassies and the ministry’s Development Cooperation offices. This rapprochement can be carried out through correspondence or in person, and the ministry plans to organise meetings between NGOs and Cooperation Offices in conjunction with the Development cooperation conference of 2013.

The Ministry-NGO working group tasked with revising the general terms and conditions and the presentation guidelines anticipated the DAC’s recommendations concerning the strengthening of the strategic cooperation framework with the aim of improving aid effectiveness.
