The policy outlines principles such as national ownership, results focus, inclusive partnerships, transparency, mutual accountability, and zero tolerance for corruption, and establishes an assistance modalities ranging from direct budget support to disaster/emergency aid. It defines institutional roles, line ministries, provincial governments, NGOs, and advisory boards, and sets out implementation arrangements. The AMP also identifies risks, review and capacity-building for use of development assistance.
