Improving Incentives in Donor Agencies:
Good Practice and Self-Assessment Tool Online Bookshop
Under the Paris Declaration, donors and partner countries commit to “reform procedures and strengthen incentives - including for recruitment, appraisal and training - for management and staff to work towards harmonisation, alignment and results”. This commitment was based on the recognition that the needed changes to behaviour will not happen automatically as there are a number of up-front and long-term costs - institutional, financial and political - associated with changing the way donors and partners conduct themselves.

Managing Aid: Practices of DAC Member Countries
Online Bookshop
Development co-operation donors are held accountable for the way they manage aid and the development results they achieve. They want to see more partner country ownership and greater use of partner country systems. This book outlines what individual donors are doing to fulfil their development co-operation ambitions and their part of the international agreements – reached in Paris in 2005 (Paris Declaration) and Accra in 2008 (Accra Agenda for Action) – to make aid more effective.

2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration: Making Aid More Effective by 2010 Online Bookshop
www.oecd.org/dac/effectiveness/monitoring/survey
How effective is aid at helping countries meet their own development objectives? Some of the answers can be found in this survey report which presents the results from the second, follow-up survey on monitoring the Paris Declaration on aid effectiveness. It assesses progress in 55 developing countries and analyses the challenges in making aid more effective. The findings are clear: progress is being made, but not fast enough. Unless they seriously gear up their efforts, developing countries and their external partners will not meet their international commitments and targets for effective aid by 2010. Action is needed now. This report makes three high-level policy recommendations that will help accelerate progress and transform the aid relationship into a full partnership.
