Background and introduction -- The purpose of the guiding principles -- Overall approach -- Program design -- Implementation, monitoring and evaluation -- Donor assistance

The principles outlined in this paper are intended to provide general guidance and pointers to donors wishing to assess the viability of CSR programmes developed by African Governments. As such, they provide guidance on the overall requirements for effective CSR and on the critical issues that need to be considered in appraising CSR programmes for possible donor support. It is hoped that this will promote a more consistent approach to the policy dialogue and donor support in this area.
