The Advisory Group on Civil Society and Aid Effectiveness is a multi-stakeholder group with 12 members from developing country governments, donors and CSOs from developed and developing countries.  It was established by the DAC Working Party on Aid Effectiveness in January 2007 to strengthen dialogue in advance of the Accra HLF, and to that end conducted a series of international, regional and national consultations.  The Advisory Group continues to produce reports and practice papers on civil society and aid effectiveness.
