Global Forum on Development

Scaling up at Country Level (Paris, 11 December 2007)

Send

This Workshop examined three aspects of scaling up from a country perspective: dealing with a growing number of actors; improving the medium-term predictability of aid finance; and linking discussion of medium-term resource provision to national priorities and results, as set out in national development strategies, in order to accelerate progress towards the MDGs. Representatives of emerging economies were invited to attend, in order to encourage their involvement as providers of development co-operation in these country-level processes.
