PARIS DECLARATION ON AID EFFECTIVENESS

The Paris Declaration, endorsed on 2 March 2005, is an international agreement to which over one hundred Ministers, Heads of Agencies and other Senior Officials adhered and committed their countries and organisations to continue to increase efforts in harmonisation, alignment and managing aid for results with a set of monitorable actions and indicators.

LJUBLJANA DECLARATION – THE “SUSTAINABLE TRIANGLE,” EU – CIVIL SOCIETY – STATE RELATIONS

In early April 2008, under the auspices of the Slovenian EU presidency and funded by the European Commission, the representatives of 130 leading NGOs from the Western Balkans, Turkey and European Neighbourhood, gathered at a conference (“Giving a stronger voice to civil society in the European neighbourhood”). As a result the Ljubljana Declaration was adopted.
