The Members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD have set an ambitious and specific target: reduce by one half the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. The aid management systems of DAC Members represent key elements in the basic architecture for attaining that goal. A Comparison of Management Systems for Development Co-operation in OECD/DAC Members provides a panaroma of aid management systems of DAC Members. It describes, analyses and compares those systems and provides specific examples. In addition, it presents the main themes of reflection within the DAC with key policy statements.
