The aim of this report is to contribute to the debate in the lead-up to the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness; to provide lessons learned and models for best practice, particularly in the health sector; and thus to influence donor and recipient governments, as well as civil society itself, to continue focusing on making democratic ownership of aid effectiveness a reality. After providing an overview of the concept and benefits of civil society participation, the report presents the principle of country ownership as stipulated in the Paris Declaration and refined in the Accra Agenda for Action. In a second part, El Salvador, Mozambique and Nepal are presented as case studies and civil society participation in these countries is analyzed in light of achievements, challenges and lessons learned. This section also provides an overview of best practice examples from El Salvador, Mozambique, Nepal and a few other countries. A conclusive section compares the three case studies and draws parallels and conclusions of significance to developing countries more generally. Recommendations for the improvement of civil society participation and democratic ownership are made at the end.
