  1. Presentation on the GoR-Budget support donors Partnership Framework proposal Christian Shingiro External Finance Unit

  2. Outline of the presentation • Background on the elaboration of the new PF • Structure • Content of the PF 4. Questions to guide discussions 5. Donor Feedback on the DPAF

  3. Background Good reasons/consensus for revisiting the former PF signed in 2003: • Changes and reforms at policy level: aid Policy, EDPRS • Ongoing work on mutual accountability that shaped the elaboration of the CPAF and DPAF • New actors (Germany, Netherlands and new sector budget donors)

  4. Background • We took time to review other countries PFs (Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia etc) and decided to redraft our own PF to better adapt the framework to the Rwandan context. • A number of ideas and elements have benefited from the DPR discussions :BSHG group discussions: • Who should participate in the BSHG and how should this be organized? • Should there be a formal procedure/criteria to include observers? Or, should BSGH membership be limited to only donors that meet a given threshold of budget support as a percentage of total ODA.

  5. Structure • The PF takes the form of a standard MoU (i.e. not a legal binding document and components: commitments, dispute resolution); • It follows the budget cycle (planning-programming-budget execution-Monitoring-evaluation and audit-reporting) to ensure coherence and ease the reading of the document.

  6. Content • Clear and obvious focus on the poverty reduction overarching objective ; • Partnership is at the centre of the document: successful implementation of the EDPRS requires full commitment from both sides; • Reference to aid effectiveness agenda: article 7 and 31 (alignment and use of GoR systems-art 31:coordination of analytical work).

  7. Content New features • Inclusion of Sector Budget support to make this PF as comprehensive as possible. • 2 major documents (absent in the former PF): CPAF and DPAF • Clarification of the participation to the BSHG

  8. Questions to guide discussions General terms • Do we agree on the principles formulated in this new PF? (art 50: dynamic document) • Are we comfortable with the format?

  9. Questions to guide discussions Specific areas of discussions: • Welcome reactions and comments on donor commitments specified in the PF (i.e. predictability and timeliness of disbursement) • Composition of the BSHG (i.e.. Status of the observers, threshold..) • Withdrawal regulations and dispute resolution: we adopted a gradual approach to the dispute resolution mechanisms.

  10. Questions to guide discussions Way forward: • How do we move forward (small team to be formed for this purpose or gather comments to be compiled by the co chair?) • Agreement on the timeline? To be finalized and signed at the next BSHG?

  11. DPAF The comments received recognize: • That the matrix is a strong basis for the assessment of donor performance; • The importance of having all donors on board.

  12. DPAF Feedback on indicators: • Indicator A1-3: On budget ODA analysis for individual donor is less relevant/meaningless. Proposal to undertake multiple regression (to be considered). There is scope for tracing individual performance and this is PD indicator • Indicator C1-6: Multi year binding agreement. 2 distinct features of the indicators C1 (existence of a multi year agreement) C2 (providing indication of future aid)

  13. DPAF • Indicator D5: respect of GoR silent period (coverage to be limited to MINECOFIN-Budget?) • Indicator G1-6: Providing firm commitments for next year budget (timing of the release of the draft budget and discussions with BS donors)
