Working Party on Aid Effectiveness: A coalition for effective development

Millennium Development Goal 8, “forming a global partnership for development”, encourages wide participation and close collaboration between all development actors. In 2005, 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.

 

The WP-EFF is the most inclusive and credible forum on aid effectiveness and sets out to meet the following challenges: ownership and accountability, country systems, managing for development results, and transparent and responsible aid.
