The objective of the Workshop was to introduce the key concepts and methodologies on development finance statistics, identify existing obstacles and challenges of integrating development finance statistics into national statistical systems (NSSs) and data reporting, and exchange experiences and share good practices among participating countries.
The Workshop hosted information sessions on the OECD-DAC, main concepts and classifications of DAC statistics including Official Development Assistance (ODA), Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD), differences between ODA and TOSSD, and enhancing collaboration on development finance statistics reporting.
