How the European Union achieve effectiveness
Development aid is a limited resource, which needs to be spent as effectively as possible in order to achieve results. Better policies in developing countries, coupled with improved aid allocation mean that aid is more effective today at reducing poverty than ever before. International aid increasingly acts as a catalyst to spur the change needed to create conditions in which people in developing countries are able to raise their incomes and live longer, healthier and more productive lives. Though development outcomes are very much dependent on developing countries themselves, the EU is committed to doing its utmost to help alleviate poverty, strengthen national resilience and empower local communities through more effective delivery of aid. How successful the development community is in helping societies respond to complex and multifaceted challenges will depend on its ability to draw from best practices, and to make continual improvements in the way assistance is designed, allocated, managed and implemented.
