Indicating Progress

An evidence-based approach to assessing progress aims to:

          · Encouraging and tracking implementation of the Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) both at the country- and at the international – levels

          · Accelerating progress by identifying quick wins and helping remove incentives that work against implementation of aid effectiveness commitments

           · Assessing and understanding how effective aid can contribute to achieving development results.

          · A survey to monitor the implementation of the “twelve indicators for progress”

          · An independent evaluation on implementing the Paris Declaration

          · Other ad hoc reviews

Reaching our

Recognising the value of evidence-based policy making, the Accra Agenda for Action (2008), which was endorsed by the Third High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in September 2009, reinforces the commitments made in Paris for monitoring, documenting and evaluating progress.

The evidence of whether the international community achieved the 2010 commitments agreed in Paris and Accra will be gathered to inform the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, planned in Korea in late 2011.
