Monitoring Framework for Effective Development Co-operation

1. Session 3The monitoring framework Background, purpose, scope, indicators UNDP-OECD Joint Support Team www.effectivecooperation.org

2. Background: Monitoring effective development co-operation commitments • Paris Surveys (2006-2011) • 3 surveys - Monitored progress against commitments made in the Paris Declaration, and subsequent Accra Agenda for Action (2010 targets) • Monitoring coordinated by the OECD (WP-EFF) • GPEDC monitoring (2012-today) • The Busan HLM (2011) called for the creation of a selective and relevant set of indicators to monitor progress against the commitments agreed in Busan, alongside with those set out in Paris and in Accra (2015 targets) • Monitoring coordinated by the OECD-UNDP Joint Support Team of the newly established GPEDC, following a “global-light, country-focused approach” • Establishment of the GPEDC monitoring framework in 2012 (PBIG) • 2013-14 monitoring round  Progress Report for the Mexico HLM (2014) • 2015-16 monitoring round  Progress Report for the Kenya HLM (2016) • Future of the GPEDC monitoring? • Revisions to the monitoring framework (incl. targets) to be agreed at the HLM2 • Building on experience from the 2015-16 round + MAG recommendations

3. Purpose of the monitoring framework • Tracking progress in the implementation of effective development co-operation commitments Capture behaviour change: “how” are stakeholders engaging in development co-operation? Are they being effective? Complementary with the SDGs, which monitor “what” results and outcomes of development co-operation • Why is it important? Support mutual accountability – encourage all stakeholders to match commitments with action Stimulate broad-based dialogue and learning Serve as a reference point for country-level frameworks

4. Monitoring approach – “Global-light, country-focused” (1/2) • Country leadership Data collection and validation is: • led by developing country governments, in consultation with development partners (providers, CSOs, private sector) • grounded in existing national processes when possible (e.g. data collection through country-level aid management systems, monitoring process embedded in mutual accountability frameworks ) The monitoring exercise and its results spark multi-stakeholder policy dialogue and accountability at the country level. • Global monitoring framework The OECD-UNDP JST: • coordinates the aggregation of existing data (country-sourced data and globally-sourced data) • provides continued support to countries through operational guidance and a help desk • produces global Progress Reports produced to inform ministerial-level meetings Progress is monitored on a rolling basis (2013-14, 2015-16) • 0

5. Monitoring approach – “Global-light, country-focused” (2/2) • How can countries ground the monitoring in their own processes? • Example of Cambodia • Development Co-operation and Partnership Strategy • Incorporating the EDC principles, with a emphasis on results-focused, inclusive and effective partnerships. • Objective: ensuring that development co-operation resources are used for maximum effectiveness and impact in achieving Cambodia’s development goals, by: • implementing the unfinished aid effectiveness agenda • fostering inclusive partnerships and exploring ways to enhance the catalytical role of aid • promoting programme-based approaches as an important framework to foster development effectiveness • Tools: • results framework, • joint monitoring indicators, • institutional framework and dialogue mechanisms (technical and political levels) with all national and external partners

6. What is monitored? 10 indicators, grounded in EDC principles • Paris Survey indicators Strong country demand and good track record NEW Busan indicators • Mutual accountability • Predictability • Aid on budget • Use of PFM/procurement systems • Aid untying • Gender • Results • Public-Private Dialogue • CSO enabling environment • Transparency • Baseline • For indicators from the Paris Survey, baseline = 2010 • For new indicators, baseline = 2013/14 (Gender & Transparency) or 2015/16 (Results, PPD, CSO EE)

7. What is monitored? 10 indicators

8. How to engage in the global monitoring exercise? • Participation is voluntary: all developing countries are invited to participate. • Co-Chairs letter to the Ministers • So far 64 countries have expressed interest Countries are encourage to report on the whole monitoring package (i.e. on 7 country-sourced indicators) • A “National co-ordinator” is in charge of the process Building on country-level efforts to enhance mutual accountability framework linked to national development results framework/strategy, etc. • Inclusiveness: development partners in country play an important role in supporting the process Who? Country offices of co-operation providers, CSOs, the private sector How? contributing their information where relevant and engaging in multi-stakeholder dialogue on EDC
