to account; to recognise and celebrate what is progressive and successful,<br />
to refl ect on and debate on the wider issues of aid and to seek out best<br />

a common understanding to be� er strategize interven� ons in foreign aid<br />
sector.<br />
Despite bulks of eff orts and resources, communi� es are forced to face<br />
mul� ple crises � ll. This has raised concerns about accountability, transparency<br />
and responsibility in our eff orts, knowledge, prac� ces, and a� tudes and in<br />

Time has come for civil society, government and donors to be serious on<br />
the issues of foreign aid and its eff ec� veness to ini� ate organized ac� ons<br />
