Aid Effectiveness
Updated: 19 March 2009
Providing more effective aid and increasing its impact on development is an important element in achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. ADB is therefore actively supporting global and regional efforts to enhance aid effectiveness.
ADB has been working with the development community to enhance aid effectiveness through the First High Level Forum held in Rome in 2003 and the 2005 Paris High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, which produced the Paris Declaration.
More than 100 development partners endorsed the Paris Declaration, a framework of commitments and indicators, including targets for ownership, alignment, harmonization, managing for results, and mutual accountability, to improve aid effectiveness.
Following up on the 2005 Paris Declaration, the international community met in Accra, Ghana, on 2-4 September 2008 for the Third High Level Forum (HLF-3). The main outcomes of the Forum are reflected in the Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) , which spells out the measures needed to further advance the Paris principles and actions required to incorporate changes in the aid architecture into the aid effectiveness agenda. Read more about HLF-3.
ADB endorsed both the Paris Declaration in 2005 and AAA in 2008. In doing so, ADB commits itself to sharing responsibilities in a defined, transparent, harmonized, and mutually accountable manner to improve aid effectiveness, in partnership with its developing member countries and other development agencies.
