Commonwealth Parliamentary Association International Parliamentary Conference On Aid Effectiveness

EDM number 25 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 03/12/2008.
Categorised under the topic of International development.

That this House congratulates the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association UK branch on its timely and constructive International Parliamentary Conference held on 17 to 21 November 2008 at the Palace of Westminster for 92 colleagues from across the Commonwealth and beyond on the scrutiny of the effectiveness of international aid; notes that following the Accra High Level Forum in September 2008, the conference debated the vital role of parliamentarians in donor and partner legislatures in holding their executives to account on international aid effectiveness and commitments made under the Paris Declaration in 2005; further notes that the conference discussed the need to enhance the capacity of partner parliaments to undertake more effective scrutiny; and recognises an outreach responsibility within the UK Parliament to assist in strengthening the capacity of partner parliaments.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
