This workshop looked at country-level experiences and lessons in promoting mutual accountability in aid relationships. Participants included government officials, donor representatives and civil society organisations from Tanzania, Mozambique, Vietnam and Afghanistan (see Annex 1 for a list of participants, and Annex 2 for the final agenda). The main rationale for the workshop was to promote an informal dialogue on the different ways in which these countries have tried or are trying to change the terms of the aid relationship by setting up mechanisms of different kinds to manage their relation with donors, keep donors accountable for their promises and commitments, and enhance aid effectiveness.
