Accra Agenda for Action

The Accra Agenda for Action, established in 2008 during a high-level meeting on aid effectiveness in Accra, Ghana, focuses on improving how international aid helps developing countries. It emphasizes strengthening partnerships between donor and recipient countries, enhancing accountability, and ensuring that aid meets the specific needs of those it is intended to benefit. The agenda promotes better coordination and alignment of aid with local priorities to ensure long-term development impacts, with a strong focus on results and empowering local institutions. Essentially, it seeks to make foreign aid more effective and responsive to the needs of communities around the world.
