Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness
Paris, France, March 2, 2005

The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness is presented in three sections, viz. the Statement of Resolve set out in Section I, the Partnership Commitments stated in Section II and twelve Indicators of Progress listed in Section III. The agreed targets can be accessed here and the most recent list of countries participating in the Paris Declaration is available at www.oecd.org/dac/effectiveness/parisdeclaration/members.
Two rounds of monitoring of these commitments are envisaged before meeting in a developing country in 2008 to review progress in implementing this Declaration.

• Developing countries will exercise effective leadership over their development policies, strategies, and to coordinate development actions;

• Donor countries will work so that their actions are more harmonized, transparent, and collectively effective;
• All countries will manage resources and improve decision-making for results;
• Donor and developing countries pledge that they will be mutually accountable for development results.
