In order to meet the objectives outlined above and further to the issues note developed, DFID is seeking to commission:

A literature review which will present the latest thinking from partner countries, leading academics, think tanks, NGOs, other donors (traditional and non-traditional) and wider stakeholders (e.g. private foundations) on aid effectiveness post-2010. 

A “think piece” to be informed by the literature review and the DFID issues note. The think piece should inform our own and other donor’s thinking on aid reform beyond 2010. It should identify key challenges and how aid effectiveness might evolve to address them. It should outline possible areas for future international agreement on aid effectiveness at the Fourth HLF in 2011.
