Submission to the Independent Review on Aid Effectiveness

This submission into the effectiveness of Australia’s aid program draws on two major documents from the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, 2005 and Aid effectiveness and human rights: strengthening the implementation of the Paris Declaration, 2006. It also takes into account the policies of bilateral and multilateral agencies and best practice in the implementation of the human rights-based approach to development, including the Council’s own contribution to the field.

Submitted on the 4th February 2011.
