High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness - "more and better aid"
Tied aid, conditionality, the use of aid as a foreign policy tool, the use of concessionary loans as a form of development assistance, the use of debt cancellation to inflate ODA figures – all of this contributes to aid not being used for poverty reduction and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The organisation Reality of Aid estimates that only 25% of new aid resources from 2000 to 2004 was available for poverty reduction or MDG programs.

The High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness is a follow up to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness of 2005, which set indicators to be achieved by 2010. This meeting will monitor progress towards those indicators and GCAP is supporting civil society organisations' (CSOs) efforts to lobby and respond to the meeting.
GCAP has endorsed the CSO paper developed by the Better Aid coalition and signed by more than 300 CSOs. The CSO paper and other civil society activities are organised by the International CSO Steering Group (ISG)
