DESCRIPTION
This presentation provides an overview of the OECD DAC statistical framework for measuring and monitoring external development finance flows, concentrating in particular on activity-level data in the Creditor Reporting System (CRS), information available online, and the use of statistics from a developing country perspective. It also provides an update on DAC work to modernise the current statistical framework (modernisation of ODA, new measure of total official support for development) to adapt to the post-2015 agenda of development finance.

• 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.
• DAC statistics are the only source of reliable, complete and comparable aid data.
