Aid Harmonization

Special Report - Development Gateway:

"The year 2005 is a landmark year for aid effectiveness. It marks the beginning of a 10-year project to achieve the Millennium Development Goals aimed at significantly reducing global poverty by 2015. How donor countries can work together to achieve these ambitious goals, adopted by the UN in 2000, was a major topic of discussion at the July 2005 G8 Summit. The topic is now resonating around the world as all stakeholders in the aid community prepare for the MDG 5 Summit at the United Nations in September 2005.

"This Special Report focuses on aid harmonization, a new framework for how donors may soon be conducting business in the developing world. This report contains interviews and feedback from the donor community, from aid recipients, from civil society, and from private citizens discussing the complexities of donor harmonization--and the promise it holds for meeting the MDGs in the developing world. You will find here links to resources about MDG-related aid projects, opportunities to participate in reader polls on aid issues, and opinions from Development Gateway members. "
