The Working Party on Aid Effectiveness

Health as a Tracer Sector (HATS)

Monitoring Progress in the Implementation of the Paris Declaration and AAA

The Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) stresses the need to maximise the impact of aid in order to contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

The first two main objectives of the AAA (strengthening country ownership and building more  effective and inclusive partnerships) refer to sector activities and the third one (delivering and accounting for development results) is critical for the health sector - which continues to offer, particularly in the area of predictability, important illustrations of progress and remaining bottlenecks.

Objectives:

• Contribute to the dissemination of the Aid Effectiveness agenda at the level of sectors with active involvement of practitioners working in countries, and at the global/regional levels, to achieve better results, including contribution to reaching the Health MDGs, and improve people’s lives.
• Encourage further implementation of the Paris Declaration and AAA in a sector which is particularly complex and fragmented and which benefits from high-level support and public attention
• Offer the lessons from the health sector to be used in other sectors/areas including for global initiatives/approaches/partnerships in areas such as environment, agriculture, education or water.
