Leading Practice Model for Development Assessment

The DAF published its Leading Practice Model for Development Assessment  DAF Leading Practice Model 2005 in March 2005, which provides a blueprint for jurisdictions for a simpler, more effective approach to development assessment.

It achieves this by defining ten leading practices that a development assessment system should exhibit.

On 4 August, 2005, at a meeting of the Ministerial Council, Local Government Ministers and Planning Ministers acknowledged the Model in their Communique as “an important reference for individual jurisdictions in advancing reform of development assessment”.
