Development Partner Performance Assessment FrameworkProcess and Challenges Mary-Anne Addo
Action at the Country Level Paris and Accra Implementation
What is the DP-PAF? “assessment tool to measure the extent to which Development Partners adhere to the common agreed principles for aid delivery”
Why do we need the DP-PAF? • Instrument to selectively monitor the implementation of the PD, AAA and Ghana Aid Policy and Strategy • Tool to stimulate improvements in the behavior of Development Partners, both as a group and individually.
Concerns of Respondents • Size of the DP-PAF – limited to meaningful and strategic indicators to GoG; • Quantitative vs Qualitative dimension; • The need for common understanding of basic definitions; • The annual assessment; • Lack of country specific indicators; • Bias to financial cooperation tools.
What is being assessed? • Consist of 23 indicators and a qualitative section • 9 were taken from the PD monitoring survey to reduce transaction costs
The Assessment: Process • The assessment would be conducted by an independent evaluator. • The DP-PAF also allows for peer performance review among DPs. • Parliament and civil society would play a role in this assessment to encourage “open and frank dialogue” on the results
The Assessment: Process (2) Engage the independent evaluator: • to conduct the review of DP performance in 2010 against the indicators set out in the DP-PAF matrix; • update the matrix for 2012 and 2013 by refining or setting new targets if necessary; • improve the process of monitoring DPs as well as the dialogue platform.
