Annex A. Progress with implementing the 2011 DAC peer review recommendations
Greece has not implemented the 2011 DAC peer review recommendations. It postponed refining and approving draft legislation, and subsequently introducing a five-year programme, to allow for completing an audit of previous projects funded by DG Hellenic Aid. Greece has experienced two crises: a severe economic crisis, which produced significant cuts in the national budget (including official development assistance [ODA]), from which the country is slowly recovering; and a refugee and migrant crisis, whose impact is ongoing.
