Pacific Regional Workshop on Aid Effectiveness

The Pacific Regional Workshop on Aid Effectiveness was held in Nadi from April 4 - 7, 2008. It was organised jointly by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Pacific Centre and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and was attended by representatives of Pacific Island governments, donor agencies, CROP and United Nations (UN) agencies.

The meeting discussed the progress made on the implementation of the Pacific Principles on Aid Effectiveness as well as to facilitated discussions around the preparations and issues for the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness which will be held in Ghana in September this year. The Pacific Principles on Aid Effectiveness are derived from the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and are designed to fit the Pacific context. The Paris Principles, agreed to by countries and development partners in 2005, focus on five major areas: ownership, alignment, harmonisation, managing for results and mutual accountability.

The outcomes of discussions at the workshop were presented to the meeting between Pacific Island countries and development partners held on April 8 and organised by PIFS.
