Abstract: ABSTRACT Official Development Assistance (ODA) has always been used flexibly to pursue other goals, including the control of migration. Despite strong evidence that ODA actually results in increased levels of emigration, a new approach to ‘migration management aid’ is driving widespread policy experimentation, particularly in Europe. In the case of ‘in‐donor refugee costs’, an earlier attempt to use ODA to pursue migration management goals, accounting methods of the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) provided valuable tools to monitor changes in expenditure. The creation of a new DAC code means that this is now possible for migration management aid.
