Introduction
The implementation of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and its implications for donor activity and coordination are of great relevance to DCED members. By defining and disseminating good practice and increasing the capacity of development practitioners, the DCED seeks to contribute to the realisation of the Paris Declaration, which aims to ensure that "donors' actions are more harmonised, transparent and collectively effective". This page provides links to a selection of the many documents being produced on these issues.
