In 2005, foreign aid donors and recipients formally endorsed a few basic but far-reaching principles, which had the potential to revolutionize global development cooperation.

With its emphasis on putting recipients in the proverbial driver’s seat, donors align their aid with recipients’ national development strategies and harmonize among themselves.

 The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness promised to transform the way donors and recipients worked together – especially how they designed and implemented aid in the interest of greater effectiveness.

Using the cases of Mali, Ghana and Ethiopia, Professor Stephen Brown will address the following questions:

To what extent have the aid effectiveness principles been applied? What explains this degree of commitment? What has been the effect on the donor-recipient relationship? What do these findings suggest regarding the future of the aid effectiveness agenda?
