Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRS) provide a framework for low-income countries to articulate their development priorities and to specify the policies, programs, and resources needed to meet their goals. The approach redefines the relationship of aid-empowerring governments to set their priorities (and holding them accountable for results) and encouraging donors to provide predictable, harmonized assistance that is aligned with country priorities.
Robust actions are needed both from the top down (e.g., delivering on aid commitments, clarifying aid allocation criteria, and improving the predictability of aid) and from the bottom up (e.g., strengthening the national development strategies and improving aid effectiveness at the country level through better harmonization and alignment). While there are broad global agreements (e.g. the Paris Declaration), the challenge is to consistently turn these commitments into concrete actions at the country level.
Scaling Up Newsletters
The following publications are part of a new series that will be regularly reporting on progress and good practices in delivering on international commitments to improve aid effectiveness and scale up using a country-based development model. We hope that these newsletter and the subsequent editions help to raise the profile of scaling up and contribute to our efforts to strengthen the country-based development model.
