Progress towards greater alignment has been limited since Paris, and key actions are needed to meet the 2010 targets, as follows:

• To reduce progressively conditionality, shifting away from policy measures towards accountability on agreed results.
  
• To make greater use of country systems and support their strengthening.
  
• To make aid more predictable. Donors must work to remove whatever legal or administrative constraints block them from entering into multi-annual commitments on a rolling basis.
  
• Budget support is the aid modality more attuned to the alignment agenda and the strengthening of country systems and country ownership.
