The purpose of this project, funded by the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway and the Netherlands, has been to build an evidence base on the relationship between human rights, social exclusion, gender equality, the aid effectiveness agenda and the wider agenda of development effectiveness to which the Paris Declaration seeks to contribute. The specific intention is to provide practical evidence-based recommendations for the Third High Level Forum on aid effectiveness in Ghana (September 2008) and make progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The evidence gathered for the study focused on how gender equality, rights and inclusion are being addressed through the aid instruments, country level dialogue, relationships and decision-making processes through which the Paris Declaration is being implemented.
The project has involved six country case studies covering widely differing contexts (Bangladesh, Bolivia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Vietnam). The country case studies involved visits carried out between late November 2007 and January 2008. This evidence was complemented by eleven desk studies of examples of relevant experience and initiatives from other countries, as well as a wider review of the literature.
