Abstract

Accountability is of considerable interest in the context of the debate on more effective development cooperation. In general terms, accountability is an obligation on a person, group or institution to justify decisions or actions taken. It is associated with sanctions in the event of compliance/non-compliance and is therefore based on incentives.

Keywords: accountability, aid
