Summary:

The United States (U.S.) and other international donors have identified the need for host country participation as a central factor in effective developmental programs. Such participation takes many forms, including host country financial and/or in-kind contributions. The "Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness," which was endorsed by the United States and other donor and recipient nations, identifies the need, and steps to take, to make aid more effective. It requires donors and recipient nations to work together more collaboratively and requires that host countries exercise leadership over their development policies and strategies. The U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) Global Development Alliance encourages partnering with entities such as host-country governments and indigenous nongovernmental organizations to mobilize the strengths and participation of the host country and enhance the developmental impact of the assistance. When such relationships are forged, USAID expects the partner to make financial and/or in-kind contributions to increase the impact and sustainability of development efforts. The Congress has appropriated more than $50 billion for Iraq reconstruction including the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund, the Economic Support Fund (ESF), the Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP), and the Iraq Security Forces Fund (ISFF) to support Iraq reconstruction. The Congress has increased requests for the Government of Iraq (GOI) to assume a greater share of reconstruction costs.
