The Four Effectiveness Principles

Agreed in 2011 (as in the Nairobi Document) by more than 161 countries and 56 organizations, the four principles of effective development co-operation provide a framework for more equal and empowered partnerships and more sustainable development outcomes.

The importance of these principles today is illustrated by the 86 governments – a record-breaking number - who led country level engagement in Global Partnership’s last monitoring exercise in 2018. They were joined by more than 100 development partners and hundreds of civil society organizations, private sector representatives, foundations, trade unions, parliamentarians and local governments. These countries believe that the effectiveness principles are critical multiplier for their development efforts.
