The purpose of the aid effectiveness agenda is to coordinate official development aid delivery and to reorient it to recipient countries' priorities.
Although this is a laudable aim, INTRAC is concerned that aid effectiveness - essentially a technical framework to improve the mechanisms of managing aid money without considering development policy or impacts on poverty - sidelines the role of civil society in development. INTRAC's recent events consider the aid effectiveness agenda as a change that underlies much of current development work.
INTRAC has recently written an advocacy document for Alliance 2015 to be used in the run-up to the Third High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra.
