The Development Cooperation Forum works to advance the strategic role of development cooperation in achieving the 2030 Agenda and Addis Ababa Action Agenda.

The DCF is the UN platform for action-oriented reviews of the latest trends, progress, and emerging issues in development cooperation, facilitating coherence among diverse actors and activities. It gives special emphasis to adapting development cooperation to better support the needs and priorities of countries and population groups with the least resources and weakest capacities. This shows across DCF-related activities, including the DCF Surveys of progress on the state of play in effectiveness of development cooperation.
