Millennium Development Goal 8, “forming a global partnership for development”, encourages wide participation and close collaboration between all development actors. In 2005, the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness incorporated this goal, backed by the most inclusive and credible forum on aid effectiveness, the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness (WP-EFF). Since its inception in 2003, it has evolved into the international partnership for aid effectiveness with 80 participants including bilateral and multilateral donors, aid recipients, emerging providers of development assistance, civil society organisations, global programmes, the private sector, and parliaments.
