Abstract:
Civil Society Organizations (CSO) represent a wide range of voices in development policy debates at country and global levels. As full members of the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness, "BetterAid," an open platform for all CSOs participating in aid effectiveness processes, will bring forward a comprehensive agenda to Busan, for renewed partnerships for a more just development cooperation system. This paper outlines key messages and proposals. The BetterAid Platform and the Open Forum for CSO Development Effectiveness are two distinct, yet complementary global CSO-led processes.
