Paragraph 22: …we will:a)Implement fully our respective commitments to enable CSOs to exercise their roles as independent development actors, with a particular focus on an Enabling Environment, consistent with agreed international rights, that maximises the contributions of CSOs to development.
b) Encourage CSOs to implement practices that strengthen their accountability and their contribution to development effectiveness, guided by the Istanbul Principles and the International Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness.
A multi-stakeholder, multi-lateral and international agreement which states:
Officially recognizes the statement and efforts that civil society have made to improve their own effectiveness as independent development actors
