How is the Busan conference shaping up? What is the latest thinking on the outcome document? With only one month to go until the biggest aid conference in years, ODI hosts Brenda Killen, the head of Aid Effectiveness at the OECD and therefore at the heart of pulling the conference together. Brenda will present the third monitoring survey of the Paris Declaration for the first time in the UK. In discussion with Brenda will be a selection of major donors. Questions this event will seek to answer include: what are DFID and other donors hoping for from Busan and how do they expect it to change their ways of working, if at all? There will be time for questions and comments from the floor.

At this event, Tony Blair - patron of the Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) - delivered a speech on leadership and international development. Drawing on his time as Prime Minister and more recently, the work of the Africa Governance Initiative, Tony Blair gave his reflections on the visionary African leaders who are tackling poverty by transforming government, and what the international community needs to do differently to support them. ODI Director Alison Evans led a discussion with Tony Blair and a high level audience from the development community on the best way to support country ownership, effective leadership and ensure aid effectiveness. This event provided an important contribution to the forthcoming High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Korea.
