This case study examines how the principal of mutual accountability (MA) is used to enhance aid effectiveness in Mozambique. In particular, it looks at MA as a dynamic process which evolves over time. This repeated interaction between the parties has important implications for the sorts of processes that can be sustained within the confines of voluntary agreements. The MA process comprises multiple parties and commitments, which means there are also lines of accountability which run in differing directions. The paper provides recommendations for all the parties involved: trans- and international organizations, donor governments and the government of Mozambique.
