Aid effectiveness
In order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) it is agreed that we need to secure "more
and better aid". Aid effectiveness refers to the second part of the
equation. A set of principles has emerged which, whilst not definitive, give a
good impression of what we think effective aid should look like:
- Country owned
- Aligned with national poverty reduction strategy
- Delivered through effective institutions
- Results focused
- Allocated to the poorest
- Harmonisation between donors
- Predictable and untied aid
- Appropriate use of aid instruments
- Development supported by non-aid policies, for example trade, agriculture
and investment.
