Norway, Denmark, and France have each proposed candidates to chair the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee, replacing the United Kingdom’s Susanna Moorehead after four years at the helm.
The secretive 31-member DAC sets the rules on what counts as official development assistance, putting it at the center of hot-button debates over how to measure vaccine donations, refugee costs, and private sector instruments, such as budget guarantees.
DAC members, including the European Union, United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany, will interview the trio on Friday, Nov. 18. Each candidate sent a vision statement to the other members, obtained by Devex.
