Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) The Third High Level Forum and the Paris Declaration
1. What is the Third High Level Forum in Accra expected to achieve?
The Third High Level Forum aims at taking stock of progress to date in implementing the Paris Declaration commitments, identifying the remaining bottlenecks and challenges and determining the key actions donors and partner countries need to take to accelerate progress in making aid more effective.
The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness expresses the international community’s consensus on the direction for reforming aid delivery and management to achieve improved effectiveness and results.
Principles. The Paris Declaration is grounded on five mutually reinforcing principles:
Ownership: Partner countries exercise effective leadership over their development policies and strategies, and coordinate development actions.
Alignment: Donors base their overall support on partner countries’ national development strategies, institutions, and procedures.
Harmonization: Donors’ actions are more harmonized, transparent, and collectively effective.
Managing for results: Managing resources and improving decision making for development results.
Mutual accountability: Donors and partners are accountable for development results.
Commitments. The Paris Declaration contains 56 partnership commitments to improve the quality of aid. For example, under ownership, partner countries commit to exercise leadership in developing and implementing their national development strategies, and donors commit to respect partner countries’ leadership and help strengthen their capacity to exercise it.
Indicators and Targets. The Paris Declaration also sets out 12 indicators to provide a measurable and evidence-based way to track progress, and sets targets for 11 of the indicators for the year 2010.
