OECD DAC Development Cooperation Report 2006

2006 has seen another year of growth in income per head for most poor countries at rates which are above those of OECD countries, in many cases significantly so. This growth has been robust for some years now, and is gradually changing the realities of development. Despite these encouraging results, three important questions remain: are such rates of growth sustainable? Can they - in some cases - even be increased? And are the benefits of growth reaching the poor? Aid has a role to play in achieving all these goals. This year's Report looks at the prospects for increased aid; the issue of aid dependence; the need for greater domestic accountability; and the Aid for Trade agenda. It also provides preliminary results from the baseline survey which monitors the Paris Declaration aid effectiveness indicators, as agreed by the High Level Forum in March 2005. The Report notes some real progress on key goals set by the UN Millennium Assembly, but also notes the heavy toll of continuing crises on the aid programmes of the donor community. (OECD, 2006)

Reach Out And Practice Participation

(Aid Workers Exchange) By Seema Siddiqui, 25 June 2003. Participation is a word that we hear and see in our work at every stage. If you do not include the word participatory in your project document or conversations about the work that you are doing it all seems a bit incomplete. But what does the word participation actually imply? What are these so called participatory approaches?
