Aid Effectiveness

Since the late-1990s the international community has been making extensive efforts to make aid more effective in producing development results. For more information on these processes, please see the OECD DAC Development Cooperation Department website , and for civil society views on them, see the Better Aid website.

DFI has been closely involved in aid effectiveness discussions and negotiations at global and country level since 2004-05. It has assisted developing countries to prepare their negotiating positions for the Accra High-Level Forum on aid effectiveness, and has produced many analytical reports, studies and presentations on aid effectiveness and how developing countries themselves can ensure that they get the best quality aid, including:

The study was discussed at the Fourth United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries (LDC-IV) held from 9 to 13 May 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey to review the Brussels Programme of Action (BPoA) and agree on a new Programme of Action (IPoA) for LDCs.
