International Donor Coordination

The United States works to make international aid more effective and efficient through discussing and coordinating ideas and programs with other donors. The United States carries on regular bilateral consultations on the subject with such major donor governments such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and Canada, and regional organizations such as the European Union. The U.S. also plays a leading role in discussion and coordination within such international bodies as the United Nations and the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank, and regional multinational lending bodies. The OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) adopts policy guidance for members' development co-operation programs.

The Group of Eight (G8) Summit of the largest industrial countries has increasidly focused attention on development issues - including access to water, financial flows and trade, HIV/AIDS, education, and famine. The G8 provides a significant opportunity to focus global attention on these themes and concurrent major initiatives.

United Nations-sponsored global summits have also played an important role in donor coordination, establishing international development goals, mobilizing political support and creating new coordination mechanisms. Recently, the Financing for Development Conference in Monterrey, Mexico; the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa; and the Global Food Summit in Rome, Italy; have been particularly important.
