The international community is committed to helping partner countries meet the Millennium Development Goal of halving global poverty by 2015. Effective use of scarce official development assistance is one important contribution to this end. This is why the development community, under the auspices of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), is dedicated to implementing improvements in aid practices that deliver more effective and harmonised support to the efforts of partner countries. The good practices presented here have been designed to respond to this concern. They represent a set of practical steps that – if applied by development agencies – should significantly improve the effectiveness of development assistance. Following the first volume of good practices published in 2003, this second volume focuses more specifically on good practice in providing budget support (Chapter 2) and support to sector-wide approaches (Chapter 3). In doing so, it acknowledges the special relevance of public financial management issues for both of these modalities of aid delivery. This is why the last chapter of this volume (Chapter 4) is devoted to setting out good practice in providing support to capacity development for public financial management. The chapters are complemented by a substantive annex that outlines a proposed approach to supporting improved public financial management performance. In the same collection: Volume 1: Harmonising Donor Practices for Effective Aid Delivery Volume 2: Harmonising Donor Practices for Effective Aid Delivery: Budget Support, Sector Wide Approaches and Capacity Development in Public Financial Management Volume 3: Harmonising Donor Practices for Effective Aid Delivery: Strengthening Procurement Capacities in Developing Countries The first volume in this collection on Harmonising Donor Practices for Effective Aid Delivery (ISBN 9264199829) was published in May 2003 without a volume number. Its success was such that a short collection of books (of which this is Volume 2) has been created.

"Budget support has become an increasingly important instrument in the context of a partnership-based approach to development assistance. Compared to traditional modes of aid delivery, it promises greater country ownership, reduced transaction costs, better donor coordination, scaling up of poverty reduction and potentially greater development effectiveness. This book presents a timely and valuable review of key concepts, issues, experiences and emerging lessons relevant to budget support. It provides an overview of principal characteristics, expectations and concerns related to budget support, key design and implementation issues, as well as some practical experiences. The contributors include government representatives from developing countries, leading academic scholars, bilateral development agencies and development practitioners from international financial institutions, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. They present a wide range of views on key issues such as the choice of instruments, alignment of budget support with country programs, predictability, and coordination and conditionality. The authors draw their insightful analysis on the contemporary research and evaluation work, as well as the broad practical experience with budget support. This book will be of great interest to practitioners in aid-recipient countries and international financial institutions, bilateral agencies and civil organizations involved in budget support."
