Abstract
Over just a six-year period from 2005-2011, five aid effectiveness initiatives were launched: the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), the International Health Partnership plus (2007), the Accra Agenda for Action (2008), the Busan Partnership for Effective Cooperation (2011), and the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) (2011). More recently, in 2015, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) was signed at the third international conference on financing for development and the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) 2030 Global Compact was signed in 2017. Both documents espouse principles of aid effectiveness and would most likely guide financing decisions in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) era. This is therefore a good moment to assess whether the aid effectiveness agenda made a difference in development and its relevance in the SDG era.

The Aid Effectiveness Agenda Has Stalled Over just a six-year period from 2005-2011, five aid effectiveness initiatives were launched: the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005),[2] the International Health Partnership plus (2007),[3] the Accra Agenda for Action
The Development Landscape Is Rapidly Changing Given the weakness of the evidence, it is encouraging that key informants interviewed by Wickremasinghe and colleagues found that adopting aid effectiveness principles at the country level made significant positive contributions to scale-up of MNH health programs
