An International CSO Steering Group organised a CSO Parallel Process to the Accra HLF in 2008. Initiated at the World Social Forum in Nairobi in January 2007, it is open to the participation of any organisation or network subscribing to its policy platform. It produced a Policy Paper for Accra, and coordinated CSO comments on the AAA. The Better Aid policy agenda included more engagement with non-government development actors, stronger measures on gender equality human rights, democracy and environmental sustainability. It holds that aid effectiveness is only one of a triad of priority issues in development finance, the other two being 100% debt cancellation for developing countries and fulfilment of the commitment by rich countries to provide 0.7% of GNI in development assistance.
