Increasing the impact of development aid is the core objective of the Paris Declaration, a document endorsed by more than 100 developing and donor countries and multilateral agencies in 2005. The 2008 "Evaluation of the implementation of the Paris Declaration" calls for faster progress from rhetoric to action by both partner governments and donors. In this context, this workshop organized jointly by GTZ/BMZ and World Bank's e-Development Thematic Group explores the connection between e-Government and aid effectiveness. The workshop will try to address two questions using inputs of practitioners from partner country governments and development organisations:
How can e-Government contribute to aid effectiveness?
How does the concern for aid effectiveness inform the way we invest in e-government?
