Development Effectiveness

The focus for international dialogue on effectiveness has begun to shift from aid effectiveness to development effectiveness, in line with the argument put forward by CSOs that effective development requires more than just effective institutional aid. Enshrined in a human rights framework, CSOs argue that development effectiveness is about the impact of the actions of development actors, including donors and governments, on improving the lives of the poor and marginalised.Development Effectivess is about the impact of the actions of development actors, including international aid, on improving the lives of the poor and marginalised.

Aid Effectiveness

Aid effectiveness relates to measures that improve the quality of the aid relationship, primarily focusing on the terms and conditions of the resource transfer itself. The Paris Declaration defined five principles that should guide official donors and developing country governments to improve the effectiveness of this resource transfer.
