In September 2008 official aid donors and recipients will meet in Accra, Ghana, to discuss how to make development assistance more effective. The High Level Forum follows up on the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, in which donors and recipients agreed on five major principles to make aid work better: recipient country ownership of programs and reforms funded by aid, alignment of donor programs to recipient country priorities, harmonization and coordination between donors, managing for results, and mutual accountability of both donors and recipients for achieving those results.
