"The Aid Effectiveness Puzzle – Completing the Picture?"

The Maastricht Graduate School of Governance in cooperation with the European Centre for Development Policy Management offers with this Advanced Academic Update state-of-the-art knowledge for academics and professionals working in the area of aid effectiveness and aid policies.

The effectiveness of development assistance is not a new theme, but the issue has taken on a greater urgency in the last few years, following the disappointments with aid results in the past, the need to reach the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 and the additional efforts to promote stability, peace and greater equality in developing countries.
 
The Third High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, which will take place in Accra on 2-4 September this year aims at reviewing progress made in the implementation of the Paris Declaration; broadening and deepening dialogue on aid effectiveness by giving space and voice to new actors; identifying required actions and bottlenecks that need to be overcome.
 
This Advanced Academic Update (AAU) on Aid Effectiveness is explicitly scheduled after ‘Accra’ in order to offer a forum for donors, partners from developing countries and academia to discuss the outcomes of the forum in the light of the gap between political reality and academic scrutiny.
 
The aim of this AAU is to contribute to a better understanding of the problems that underpin the whole debate on aid effectiveness. The participants will learn about the latest developments in aid research and their applicability for work in the field.
