Since the beginning of the 1960s, the international standard for development funding has remained fixed at 0.7% of the gross national income (GNI) of the member countries of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The basis for this standard has never been challenged, even though the method of calculation corresponds to the situation prevailing more than 50 years ago. Both international conditions and theoretical analyses of growth and development have changed. Even worse, most donors try to inflate their aid figure, going so far as to make their own interpretation of the definitions given by the DAC and the OECD. All the players focus on this sacrosanct target to be achieved, reinforcing the idea that a volume of aid corresponding to this objective will bring about development. Why is there such path dependency in relation to this international standard?
