The European Union has vast experience in conducting development aid processes. Despite the added value that European support constitutes for the most deprived countries, these countries cannot simply be receivers of aid, but partners and must, as such, be accountable. However much funding or aid of other sorts is provided for them, for their part they will have to commit to transparency and good management. In order for this transparency to be in place and verifiable, it is essential to involve national parliaments and civil society in the debate on managing aid received, and to make this debate a central element of annual political life in developing countries.
The awareness that something that should be for everyone is only for the few undermines social ties and degrades the already fragile social capital of the weakest societies. The Union must not let up in its development aid efforts, but must introduce mechanisms, like budgetary support, that enable European taxpayers and potential recipients in developing countries to know how it has been used, to what end and with what result."@en1
