What’s next?
12
How to keep political momentum?
•
Demonstrate value for money and accountability - progress
against the Paris Declaration/AAA commitments and
changes at country level
•
Make aid make a difference - use evidence to identify which
principles matter most – and focus on these
•
Get ‘back to basics’ - aid effectiveness is about doing, not
talking
•
Step up the multi-stakeholder and inclusive dialogue CSOs, Parliaments, private sector, middle income countries
•
Decide on an aid effectiveness framework to 2015 - based
on evidence of what matters for development, and with a
monitoring process to hold partners to account
