In almost every meeting that I’ve been in over these last few days – be it with government officials, development partners or civil society – the words ‘results’, ‘accountability’, ‘openness’ and ‘effectiveness’ dominate. It’s not that the focus on results or accountability is new or unexpected, but I think each one of us has recognized the urgency to deliver and demonstrate results, in an open and transparent manner, and step back and assess what we’re doing and how it is helping our partner countries and the people who live there.
