Aid effectiveness in Accra: Whose ownership?

At the Third High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra, Ghana (2-4 September), one of nine Roundtables will be devoted to "Whose Ownership? Whose Leadership?", co-chaired by the governments of Switzerland and Colombia.

Ahead of the meeting, a discussion forum invites contributions on the topic from other governments and civil society from North and South. Hoping for diverse points of views, the portal should contribute to a broad understanding of the topic and enrich the upcoming roundtable discussion.

Comments can be posted on the two themes: "inclusive ownership" and "leadership and capacity". The website is provided in English and Spanish.

InfoResources - Information on natural resources and development

During the Euforic/EADI workshop ‘Showcasing Knowledge and Information Services’ Fani Kakridi presented InfoResources, an information service for development practitioners interested in natural resources and the related discussion in international development. The special demand of the target group is to get hand on the most important information in a short and elaborated format.

We asked Ms. Kakridi to give us a summary of the main features:





Under the mandate of the Swiss Development Cooperation Agency (SDC) the service selects and comments on innovative resources which are published in free publications available in print and electronically. The publications are offered in English, Spain and French. As main challenge Ms. Fani mentioned the diverse target group interests with a hunger for information in the South and too much information in the North.
