Civil society recognises the 3^rd High Level Meeting of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC), or Effectiveness Summit to have achieved key milestones that can move the agenda forward.  We acknowledge:

• the mixed participation which may signal revitalised political buy-in of the effectiveness agenda;
• the emphasis on building trust to make development cooperation more effective, especially to enable civil society, that was a running theme throughout the Summit; and,
• the new delivery model anchored on the revised monitoring framework that seeks to rally multi-stakeholder dialogue and action at country level.
