Dear Colleagues,
Warm greetings from the Secretariat!
As you know, the Reality of Aid publishes the biennial global report and this year preparations will be done with you on how we can come out with the RoA 2012 Report. The RoA 2010 Report that we launched at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris, France last October 2010 was very well received and we aim to achieve or even surpass such success.
An emerging trend in development cooperation is aid and the private sector and so the RoA International Coordinating Committee, in consultation with a number of RoA members, has chosen this to be the 2012 Report theme.
Please find attached the 2012 Report Theme Statement. Kindly go over the document and make plans on how your organisation can contribute to the Report. Below is the Report’s timeline for your reference:
