What is the Development Cooperation Dialogue?

The Development Cooperation Dialogue (DCD) is an annual review of Official Development Assistance (ODA) conducted by the Government of Afghanistan (GoA) with its Development Partners (DP). It was initiated in 1385 (2006-2007) under the name of Donor Financial Review (DFR) to provide a clear picture to the Afghan people, GoA and the international community of ODA flows into the country, and to move towards greater transparency and accountability in aid management.

The DCD is also a planning tool for GoA to forecast ODA flows and provide crucial data for the formulation of Medium Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) and National Budget.
