of the Capacity Development Facility for Development Effectiveness
The Capacity Development Facility for Development Effectiveness (CDDE)
supports innovations and provides long-term capacity development support

Agenda for Action up to 2011, for improved development effectiveness.
At the two-day event, participants exchanged concrete lessons learned
from the region on localizing and implementing the Paris and Accra principles
at country level, with the intention of continuing this learning through
small scale peer-peer/south-south initiatives that support the implementation
of aid policy in the region.

Capacity Development and Aid Effectiveness
Country Spotlight:
Maldives
ADB’s strategy for 2007–2011 is fully aligned with the goals
and objectives of the Government's Seventh National Development Plan and
has been closely aligned with those of development partners. ADB’s
assistance is focused on those areas in which it has a strong, proven
performance record in the Maldives and for which the Government clearly
wants ADB’s assistance.
A sequenced approach to providing ADB support has been defined. During
the first phase, a holistic set of capacity-development interventions
will be supported. Once readiness is secured, ADB’s second phase
of assistance will include strategic support for investments and sector
reform in transport, power, and small to medium-sized enterprise development.
Given the Maldives’ graduation to the status of middle-income country
in December 2004 (the effectiveness of which was postponed to January
2011 due to the tsunami), ADB will also explore the possibilities of undertaking
nonsovereign operations.
