AFD at the centre of reflection on aid effectiveness
Implementation of the Paris Declaration
The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness is an international agreement adopted by donors and ODA recipients in March 2005. Its main aim is to reform aid delivery and management methods in order to increase its effectiveness, notably in terms of reducing poverty and inequality, consolidating growth, capacity building and meeting the MDGs. >> Find out more

Aid Effectiveness is a core issue for all development aid actors. This agenda is nowadays based on the five principles of the 8 March 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness: ownership, harmonization, alignment, results-based management and mutual accountability. French cooperation has adopted an Action Plan in order to meet its commitments and enhance aid effectiveness. >> Find out more
Integrating results and development impacts
The integration of results and development impacts is a core focus for AFD. This is in line with international trends: the challenge of meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Marrakech Principles, the Rome and Paris Declarations, the Hanoi Conference (2007). The target is to scale up and show the effectiveness of operations at all levels. >> Find out more
Guide to aggregatable indicators: a development results-measurement tool

Global Budget Support Doctrine
At the beginning of 2007 a doctrine for the use of global budget support was validated by the Co-secretariat of the CICID (Inter-ministerial Committee for International Co-operation and Development). Global budget support is based on key eligibility criteria: (i) a sound and sustainable macroeconomic policy; (ii) a national growth and poverty reduction strategy in line with the MDGs with a functional monitoring-evaluation mechanism for its implementation and (iii) a positive evaluation of the public finance management system. France has developed a fiduciary risk assessment and monitoring system for the last point. >> Find out more
Fiduciary Risk Doctrine
France has developed a fiduciary risk assessment and monitoring system. The fiduciary risk doctrine sets out France’s approach in terms of (i) the concept of fiduciary risk applied to Foreign States, (ii) fiduciary risk assessment and monitoring instruments and (iii) the general principles for using these tools within the framework of budget support management. >> Find out more

Adapting French aid to the challenges of a changing world
