"I welcomed this document because the fourth High-level forum on aid effectiveness (HLF-4) will be a success if it results in a strong commitment to aid effectiveness, reflected in clear and measurable objectives with a precise timetable for their realisation, mindful of the implementation deficits of the Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action. It underlines the importance of development ownership following a bottom-up approach, of non-fragmentation of aid and of setting up strong, effective and independent follow-up enforcement mechanisms, involving parliaments and civil society at both national and international level. Aid should serve as a lever for inclusive, sustainable growth because the allocation of aid takes into account the individual characteristics of each country, thus strengthening aid effectiveness in those countries whose need is greatest in order to reduce poverty and aid dependency, as well as foster job creation and self-sustainable growth in developing countries. I believe that development aid is not, in itself, enough to eradicate poverty and that it should address its causes, rather than its symptoms. There is a need for more effective aid as part of a development process which seeks to create, in recipient countries, strong, environmentally friendly economies in which access to basic social services is guaranteed for all citizens and, ultimately, to reduce dependence on aid in the future."@en1
