• Measure resource flows for development purposes (not only aid) from:
- DAC members
- Multilateral agencies
- Non-DAC providers
• An institutionalized structure (DAC Working Party on Development Finance Statistics) continuously works at maintaining and developing the underlying standards and create a common understanding of their application. Thus, it enables data consistency and international comparability.
