OECD countries [...] have reaffirmed their commitments on aid to developing countries. On November 24, 2008, at a meeting of the OECD’s Executive Committee in Special Session [...] DAC donors responded positively to a call from OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría and DAC Chair Eckhard Deutscher for adherence to an Aid Pledge designed to maintain development assistance commitments to developing countries: “DAC Members reaffirm their exising aid commitments and agree to maintain aid flows at levels consistent with those commitments.” The performance of DAC donors against this pledge will be monitored by the OECD.
