Results

The 2002 Monterrey Consensus stresses the urgent need for greater volumes of development finance. However, it also reminds us that delivering aid and implementing projects is not enough. Under growing pressure from the global public, the development community must show that development finance is actually achieving results. A failure to do so could lead to a crisis of legitimacy in global development finance.

A strong focus on results is also called for in the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and 2008 Accra Agenda for Action. Both documents call for partner countries to lead in defining their desired development results, and for providers of development finance to support their partner countries’ systems.

In the next sessions, participants will be invited to share their views on and experiences with two dimensions of the discussion on results. First, they will discuss how the need to achieve results is being translated into the policies and programs of recipients and providers of development finance. Second, they will compare efforts in communicating about results to the public and taxpayers.

10:45-12:30

Questions for discussion:
