The AMP was designed by Development Gateway in collaboration with the OECD, World Bank, UNDP, and Governments of Ethiopia and India. It is anchored on the principles of the global aid effectiveness agenda, and it is promoted as contributing to aid coordination and harmonization – helping Governments and their donor partners manage aid for results. The AMP was developed to facilitate timely and comprehensive reporting; enable a comprehensive view of all aid resources within the country; help monitor progress towards national development objectives; reduce duplication of donor funded projects and transaction costs associated with data collection and processing.
