6 The 2005 OECD-DAC Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, is applicable to all parties involved (donors,
agencies and beneficiaries) and includes key principles such as country ownership, mutual accountability,
aligning aid to national development strategies, effective donor coordination, harmonization of donor
procedures, use of programme-based aid modalities, managing for results, transparency, and predictable
and multi-year commitments, which should be built into all programming. Administrative costs associated
with the delivery should be minimized to ensure that the resources go to the actual implementation
of identified priority projects and programmes. The competence and skills of the human resources
available at national and regional levels should be used in an optimal way and all efforts should be made
to develop national analytical and implementation capacity.
