The DCED is proposing a minimum Standard for measuring (approximate) results, which can ultimately be adopted on a multi-agency basis. The current version of that Standard can be downloaded below; the Committee invites others to join in piloting the approach during 2010. It is also exploring closer links with member agency staff at headquarters level; the
Declaration "Committed to the Impact" following a Workshop of German Development Cooperation in Bonn in August 2009 is an important example of this.

Key Documents
Version V is now available below; the changes relative to Version IV are almost all for clarification and simplification, based on the very extensive comments already received. There are no major substantive changes. In line with the changes to the Standard, the Auditor's Report format has been modified and a separate version created for new programmes. All other associated documents below have also been updated, to be consistent with Version V.
