The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness commits its signatories to take action to strengthen ownership, alignment, harmonization, results and mutual accountability. It includes a monitoring framework to assess progress toward fulfilling these commitments, based on 12 actionable indicators. The assessment criteria for two indicators—1 (Operational development strategies) and 11 (Results-oriented frameworks)—are based on analysis by the World Bank for the 2005 CDF Progress Report “Enabling Country Capacity to Achieve Results”. The World Bank is now conducting an Aid Effectiveness Review 2006 that will build on the methodology developed for the CDF Progress Report to contribute to the monitoring of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. This review will inform the baseline for indicators 1 and 11 and provide a qualitative assessment of progress for the other 10 Paris Indicators. The objective of the review is to help client countries, Bank country teams and other development assistance agencies share a common evaluation of progress and jointly direct action and resources to strengthen ownership, alignment, harmonization, results and mutual accountability. Comments on the draft profiles are welcome and should be sent before August 15, 2006. For more information, please see this resource.
