OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

Published purpose

This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Program of Work and Budget (OECD-PWB). The OECD uses this fund, along with other donors funding, to achieve the operational and strategic activities of the Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC), a leading international forum of major funders of development cooperation. The OECD-DAC’s activities include: (1) reporting an analysis of financing for development; (2) conducting peer reviews of development cooperation programs; (3) developing guidelines, standards, and policies on good development practices, including gender equality, to enhance the quality and effectiveness of development cooperation; and (4) strengthening partnerships with key donors to prioritize and address key international development issues. Canada’s support to OECD-DAC contributes to promoting coordinated, innovative international action to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing countries and improve their financing.
