Signatories want to be assured that the development assistance is spent in an effective way (delivering outcomes) and that it is not wasted, with the organisation being directly accountable to the Joint Committee.
An organisation that is free from influence and barriers that hinder progress.
Everyone has a voice in decision making, setting the direction, and overseeing the effective implementation of the Development and Economic Cooperation Work Programme.
Governance and accountability arrangements need to be clear and not overly complex.
