Recommendations for strengthening country-level and international mechanisms of mutual accountability to improve development results:

• Strengthen the role of partner governments, parliaments, and civil society in domestic and international accountability mechanisms.
  
• Country-level mutual accountability needs to respect and support local accountability structures in order to lead to sustainable improved development results.
  
• Transparent information on aid, including for example on technical assistance, is vital. The same applies to transparency of government budgets. Include commitments on issues such as gender, human rights, environment, and donor commitments on aid volumes.
  
  The working party on Aid Effectiveness must be a champion of mutual accountability.
