nssd: Coordinating Institution

The role of the coordinating institution (IIED) is to assist in planning the approach, tracking progress (ensuring adherence to the timetable and agreed approach), reviewing and editing mid-term and final reports, drawing out generic and country specific lessons, developing an initial draft of DAC policy guidance and a draft sourcebook, and the provision of networking, liaison and administrative support.

The Department for International Development of the British Government (DFID), on behalf of the DAC Task Force, has contracted the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) to coordinate the OECD DAC initiative and provide technical support to the dialogues with developing countries.
