OECD Development Co‑operation Peer Reviews: France 2024
The OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) conducts peer reviews of individual
members once every five to six years. Reviews seek to improve the quality and effectiveness
of members’ development co-operation, highlighting good practices and recommending
improvements.
France has embarked on an ambitious reform of its development co-operation in institutional,
strategic and financial terms. In addition to a substantial increase in the resources
devoted to official development assistance and a strengthening of its crisis response
instruments, France has championed the linkages between the green and social agendas
and the mobilisation of the private sector for sustainable development. The review
discusses the difficult balance between the objectives of visibility and development
impact, particularly in fragile contexts. It makes recommendations on combining political
impetus, steering by objectives and flexibility; deepening the cross-benefits between
the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainable development; and,
strengthening the contribution of local private sector to poverty reduction by optimising
available resources and instruments.
