Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation Information

The Global Partnership helps nations, business and organizations work better together to end poverty. It brings governments, private companies, civil society and others together to ensure funding, time and knowledge produce maximum impact for development. It is a forum for advice, shared accountability and shared learning and experiences to support the implementation of principles that form the foundation of effective development co-operation: - ownership by developing countries; - a focus on results; - inclusive development partnerships; and, - transparency and accountability to one another. The principles were endorsed at the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Korea in 2011. The Global Partnership can help drive progress and support the implementation of the global development agenda that will follow the Millennium Development Goals target year of 2015.
