Forum on Aid Effectiveness
The Third High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness will be hosted in Accra by the Government of Ghana on 2-4 September 2008.
The Forum builds on several previous high level international meetings, most notably the 2003 Rome High Level Forum which highlighted the issue of harmonisation and alignment, and the 2005 Paris High Level Forum.
The Paris Forum culminated with the endorsement of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness by over 100 signatories from partner governments, bilateral and multilateral donor agencies, regional development banks, and international agencies.
The primary intention of the Forum is to take stock and review the progress made in implementing the Paris Declaration. It aims to broaden and deepen the dialogue on aid effectiveness by giving ample space and voice to partner countries and newer actors such as Civil Society Organisations and emerging donors.
It is also a forward-looking event which will identify the action needed and bottlenecks to overcome in order to make progress in improving aid effectiveness for 2010 and beyond.
