Rome, 29 August 2008 – The Accra meeting has a long-term strategic importance for the re-organisation of the aid system, which goes beyond the deadline set in the Paris declaration in 2010. The statement of the Conference will show some of the principles and pillars of the new aid structure, on which discussions will start between 2010 and 2011. The CINI hopes, in line with other organisations of civil society sof the North and South of the world, that Italy and Europe will take the most ambitious and innovative positions in respect of issues of democratic ownership, untying aid, transparency, technical assistance, aid predictability and conditionality to make Accra a crucial step of the reform of aid efficiency.
