The purpose of this research is to measure the progress and performance of Commonwealth countries (donors and recipients) against the monitoring indicators from the Paris Declaration. The results will provide an informed basis for reflection and policy dialogue around the performance of Commonwealth countries. Not only will the progress of individual Commonwealth countries between 2006 and 2008 be explored, but also their performance vis-à-vis other Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth countries. The results of the analysis would be used as background information to guide the dialogue and discussion around progress and policies on aid effectiveness.
