AidEffectiveness.org - an informal wiki for sharing aid management lessons
This website is intended as a resource for practitioners working on aid coordination and aid effectiveness issues. AidEffectiveness.org is one outcome from a workshop of practitioners hosted by UNDP in Bangkok in June 2006, and attended by 16 countries in Asia and the Pacific, Government representatives, UNDP Country Offices, ADB, DFID, OCHA, the OECD DAC, and the Overseas Development Insitute (ODI) in London. It is an informal space that does not represent the views of any institution, and its objectives are to:
- provide access to up-to-date lessons learned and policy documents;
- enable practitioners to add freely to the existing resources and to exchange views informally using the dialogue pages;
- develop a repository of information that can be "harvested" and drawn upon for UNDP's Corporate Toolkit on Aid Management - and which can also be drawn upon by any other organisation for its own purposes. For more information on UNDP and aid management please visit www.Devaid.org
AidEffectiveness.org is open to all practitioners, who may obtain a user name and password and begin contributing immediately. The site is moderated on a part-time basis by UNDP's Regional Centre in Bangkok, but does not represent the views of UNDP or any other organisation. If you would like to make corrections or comments please send them to RCB.AidCoordination@undp.org.
It is hoped that this site will become an increasingly useful resource as more practitioners are able to contribute their own lessons of experiences and information resources. ODI's Centre on Aid & Public Expenditure (CAPE) is planning to contribute some of its own policy analysis, by making Key Sheets on Aid Modalities available on the site later in 2006. All pracitioners are invited to share their knowledge and ideas through the site, and the section below gives guidance on how you can contribute.
Please feel free to contribute to any of the 8 Chapters. Note, the 3 chapters below are the most developed of the 8:
- 2. Harmonisation & Alignment and the Paris Declaration - which includes information on countries' Aid Policies
- 5. Aid Modalities
- 6. Aid Tracking - Aid Information Management Systems
