This research paper discusses options for better capturing the implications of the growing conception that development, conflict, security and peace are interdependent for the OECD Development Assistance Committee’s (DAC) reporting system, within and outside the Official Development Assistance (ODA). The paper examines various ideas and proposals with the objective of answering whether an expansion of the ODA definition is justified or whether alternatives, such as the creation of an expanded OECD DAC reporting system, are preferable. Concrete proposals are outlined and discussed.
