  1. Power and Drivers of ChangeAnalysis Ben Dickinson OECD DAC Secretariat

  2. Evolving donor approaches to Governance

  3. 2004-2006 DAC Work on PDoC • Task Team formed (DFID, Sida, Norad, World Bank) • Lessons learned study on the use of Power and Drivers of Change Analyses in development co-operation. • Lessons note on “Using Political Economy Analysis to Improve Aid Effectiveness” (forthcoming) • Regional workshop planned for 2006 to (i) illustrate relevance of DAC/GOVNET work at the country level and (ii) explore how donors have joined up around the use of analysis.

  4. Impact? • Allows more realistic ambitions for donor interventions to be set. • Takes donors into new areas (state building aspects of taxation). • Formalised and insitutionalised what we already knew, potential for harmonised approaches. • Shared understanding could lead to more consistent donor approaches (especially to problems like corruption).

  5. Tension 1 Tension between • expectations for long-term incremental change that emphasises a shift from clients to citizens and • ambitions for delivering results, particularly the MDGs, emphasising pro-poor change.

  6. Tension 2 Tension between • often low cost, opportunistic and patient approaches to reform and • pressures to spend, particularly in an era of scaled-up aid (according to DAC projections an additional $50 Bn by 2010, which will exacerbate aid dependency)

  7. Will Aid Dependency Worsen?

  8. Tension 3 Tensions between • The state/country/nation as the primary unit of analysis and • Increasing recognition of the regional and global drivers of change and bad governance.

  9. Tension 4 Tensions between • The principle of ownership and transparency and • not sharing the results of studies which include sensitive and searching questions, which impact upon vested interests.

  10. Tension 5 Tensions between • The need to harmonise and consolidate analyses, avoiding proliferation and • The need for diverse perspectives, views and opinions.
