At the Third HLF, Ministers and agency heads endorsed the Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) to deepen implementation of the Paris Declaration and respond to emerging aid effectiveness issues.

The AAA was prepared through a broad-based process of dialogue at both country and international levels: through the work of WP-EFF and its joint ventures, regional preparatory consultations, the partner country contact group, the Consensus Group*, the Advisory Group on Civil Society, and the non-DAC donor group. The views of more than 80 partner countries, some 60 CSOs, all DAC donors, and many nontraditional providers of development assistance informed the AA. The investment of time, energy, and financial resources by all participants in this process resulted in an action oriented agenda that can support accelerated progress in aid effectiveness.


* The Consensus Group was formed of South Africa, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Ghana, Egypt, Colombia, Sri Lanka, UK, USA, Japan, European Commission, OECD, World Bank, AfDB, and UNDG, and a representative of the Advisory Group on Civil Society.

The role of civil society organisations (CSOs) in advancing aid effectiveness was an important aspect of HLF 3. Information and documents related to the civil society can be accessed here.
