The OECD designs international standards and guidelines for development co-operation, based on best practices, and monitors their implementation by its members. It works closely with member and partner countries, and other stakeholders such as the United Nations and other multilateral entities to help them implement their development commitments. It also invites developing country governments to take an active part in policy dialogue. The OECD keeps track of key trends and challenges for development co-operation providers and offers practical guidance.
It draws from the knowledge and experience of Development Assistance Committee DAC members and partners, as well as from independent expertise, with the ultimate goal of advancing reforms in the sector, and achieving impact. Using data, evidence, and peer learning, this work is captured in publications and online tools that are made publicly available. The OECD works with governments, civil society organisations, multilateral organisations, and others to improve the quality of development co-operation.

Through peer reviews and evaluations, it periodically assesses aid programmes and co-operation policies, and offers recommendations to improve their efficiency. The OECD also brings together multiple stakeholders to share good and innovative practices and discuss progress. The OECD helps development co-operation providers evaluate their actions both to better learn from experience and to improve transparency and accountability.
Innovative approaches, such as using smart and big data, digital technology and remote sensing, help gather evidence and inform policy decisions. With in-depth analysis and guidance, the Organisation helps providers manage for results by building multi-stakeholder partnerships and adapting to changing contexts and crisis situations.
National and international civil society organisations CSOs are key partners in monitoring development co-operation policies and programmes. Development co-operation can also be channelled to or through CSOs:. Aid is characterized as going to CSOs when it is in the form of core contributions and contributions to programmes, with the funds programmed by the CSOs. Aid is characterized as going through CSOs when funds are channeled through these organisations to implement donor-initiated projects.
