Description
This session launches the FDI Qualities Guide for Development Co-operation, which provides guidance to strengthen the role of development co-operation for mobilising FDI and enhancing its positive impact in developing countries. The Guide is addressed to donors and other development co-operation actors involved in the promotion of sustainable investment. It can also be used as a reference for partner countries willing to collaborate with development co-operation actors on this agenda. It has been designed to support the implementation of the OECD Recommendation on FDI Qualities for Sustainable Development, and to complement the FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit. The Guide is a joint endeavour of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and the Investment Committee (IC). This session presents the Guide and its features and engages in a discussion on why development co-operation plays a key role in enabling private investment for sustainable development and how the guide can support co-ordinated action.
