  1. Round Table 9 – New Aid Architecture South Asia consultation, 5-6May, 2008

  2. Issues • Importance of non-DAC providers and global funds are significant and growing over time. • This group is diverse, some employing different approaches to development which enriches the menu of support available to recipient countries. • Many non-DAC providers are former/still recipients of aid,in a good position to reflect their experience into their approach towards providing aid. • Many non-DAC providers share the importance of 5 Paris Principles but approaches and applications are diverse • Many global programs are evolving to adapt their approaches to align with country priorities and to join donor harmonization mechanisms. However, there remain challenges where global programs finance a substantial share of sectoral budgets in countries with limited implementation and absorptive capacity. • There is a risk of fragmentation and uncoordinated approach among donors without sufficient dialogue and information sharing • Ownership of the partner countries are required to effectively manage diverse resource of development assistance

Common platform  Partner countries exercise leadership in aid management by providing a common platform on which all providers of development assistance--traditional, non traditional donors can work together effectively.  Funders and stakeholders in global programs explore fully feasibility of financing through existing institutions before providing earmarked global financing. 4.
