International Donor Coordination
The United States works to make international aid more effective and efficient by discussing and coordinating ideas and programs with other donors. The U.S. carries on regular bilateral consultations on international aid with such major donor governments as Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada, and with 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, and with the World Bank and regional multinational lending bodies. The OECD's Develop Assistance Committee (DAC) adopts policy guidance for Members in the conduct of their development co-operation programs.
The Group of Eight (G-8) Summit of the largest industrial countries is giving greater attention to development issues -- including access to water, financial flows and trade, HIV/AIDS, education, and famine. The G-8 provides a significant opportunity to focus global attention on development issues and to advance major initiatives.
Global summits sponsored by the United Nations 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.
