Country

for

Aid and Development

Effectiveness

The IBON/Reality of Aid country outreach program for the broad

implementation of AAA seeks to achieve greater and more

meaningful involvement of CSOs in bringing change in aid

effectiveness policy and practice. The strategy towards this is

capacity development of CSOs in order for them to initiate policy

dialogue spaces that allow for broader and inclusive participation of

various kinds of CSOs at country and local level. These efforts are

expected to contribute to changes in policies along a development

effectiveness approach.

Country outreach work will be based on the country-level plans of

CSOs who are involved in aid effectiveness and development

effectiveness advocacy. A broad range of CSOs will be encouraged to

participate and work together to engage their respective

governments, parliaments and development partners in the

achievement and monitoring of AAA implementation.

RoA is the partner agency of the BetterAid in this program. IBON

International is implementing the outreach through the RoA

network.
