Development Assistance Committee Principles

The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Principles are guidelines used by wealthy countries to provide aid to poorer nations. They emphasize respect for the recipient countries' ownership of their development strategies, transparency in how aid is used, and alignment with the countries' own priorities. The principles also focus on ensuring aid is effective, promoting partnership, and encouraging sustainable development. The goal is to make sure donations genuinely support growth, reduce poverty, and respect the dignity and needs of the countries receiving assistance.
