OECD Task Force on nssds

The DAC Working Party on Development Cooperation and the Environment (WP/ENV) mandated a Task Force, co-led by the United Kingdom and the European Commission, to produce guidance on best practice for assisting developing countries with the formulation and implementation of nssd processes. A scoping workshop in November 1998 brought together Task Force and developing country representatives to discuss the broad directions for this work. It is from these discussions that this project has been initiated.
