This paper examines the coherence of development policies with regard to the consistency between, on the one hand, the objectives or results of a donor's economic policies that have an impact on the countries receiving development aid, and, on the other, the objectives of the official international development cooperation policy. The authors have attempted to include all the economic policies that can have an impact on aid-receiving countries. Therefore, reference is made to policies connected with trade flows, emigrant remittances, foreign direct investment (FDI) and the developing countries' external debt management, as well as international financial architecture (IFA).
