Mutual Accountability

Mutual accountability has been recognised as one of the most challenging of the Paris Declaration principles to implement, given the imbalances of power and complex chains of accountability involved in the aid relationship.  This section reviews some of the emerging tools for strengthening mutual accountability, including:

• Aid Effectiveness Reviews are joint assessments by partners countries and donors, sometimes commissioned from independent experts, of mutual progress on aid effectiveness commitments;
• Common Results Frameworks, often linked to Joint Assistance Strategies or multi-donor budget support arrangements, help to align partner country and donor efforts behind shared development goals.
