"We are of the opinion that a decentralised approach to aid delivery brings decision making closer to the realities of delivery and to where more operationally efficient donor coordination and harmonisation take place, while taking due account of the need for local ownership. The ultimate objective of devolution and the wider reform of external assistance managed by the Commission is to enhance a) speed, b) the thoroughness of financial management procedures and c) the quality of aid in partner countries. In order to make EU development policy more coherent and more effective, consideration should be given to using local expertise and working towards greater involvement in the local societies. We therefore encourage the Commission to ask its delegations to systematically carry out technical and financial monitoring visits to projects, and to make greater efforts to improve links with bilateral agencies and partner governments and other development groups, universities, foundations, NGOs and sub-national authorities, since closer ties will maximise the comparative advantages of the devolution process and of the different actors in the national context, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of efforts."@en1
