Aid Coordination and Aid Effectiveness

Executive Summary

The so-called “Pearson Commission” presented its report entitled Partners in Development. Report of the

Commission on International Development 30 years ago. Key themes in that report remain valid today: the

recipient must be responsible for its own development policies but donors have a right to be consulted; the

interaction between the parties should be based on a partnership where predictability and performancebased

resource flows are integral parts.
