Civil society’s voice gets audience in Busan
InterAction's president and CEO, Samuel Worthington, was featured this week in DipNote, the State Department’s blog. He speaks to the outcomes of the Fourth High-Level Meeting on Aid Effectiveness, which took place in Busan, South Korea, last week.
Worthington notes, “What made the summit in Busan unique was that it was to my knowledge the first ministerial-level forum in which civil society was seen as a real player in formulating development policy.”
The rest of the blog speaks to the outcomes of the meeting, including stressing the use of in-place country systems, agreements on the need to increase transparency, and creating an "enabling environment" for NGOs.
