Session 3Stock take of the first monitoring round Key findings Lessons learned UNDP-OECD Joint Support Team www.effectivecooperation.org
First monitoring round • When? 2013 – 2014 • Who? • 46 Developing Countries participated (incl. LICs and MICs from Africa, Asia, Pacific, Latin America) • Data was reported for 77 co-operation providers (incl. bilateral & multilateral agencies + global funds) and covered 46% of country programmable aid
First monitoring round • How were findings used? • Global Progress Report (April 2014) • Key messages informed policy dialogue at Mexico HLM • At country and regional levels: varied use • Countries including the results in their own development cooperation reports • Cambodia, Nepal • Regional reports • PIFs (use of monitoring data to inform peer reviews in the Pacific) • AP-DEF (use of monitoring data to inform the Asia-Pacific EDC Reports)
Key findings: Overarching political narrative “A glass half full” • Core ‘aid effectiveness’ gains broadly sustained in a difficult aid climate – a good basis for further progress • Country ownership continues to strengthen – gains made in 2010 around strengthening and using country systems broadly sustained; investments in strengthening country systems are paying off in the long term. • Inclusiveness is translating into stronger recognition and engagement of non-state development actors, and commitment to ensure that development benefits both men and women – but more is needed to make inclusive partnerships a full reality. • Transparencydrive starting to show results – but these need to be geared towards countries’ needs
Key findings: where are the bottlenecks? Ownership and results • Stronger country-level dialogue needed to promote alignmentwith the priorities and systems of developing countries. • Need to increase the use of country systems (no change since 2010). Inclusive partnerships • Moving towards a common understanding of a CSO EE; promoting country-leveldialogue in existingaccountabilityframeworks. • Need to further understand the requirements for meaningful Public-PrivateDialogue to take place. • Development cooperation architecture is still skewed towards a government-centred, North-South perspective. Transparency and accountability • Transparency efforts respond effectively to local needs and country contexts. • Medium-term predictability remains a real challenge. • Targeted efforts are needed to make mutual accountability processes and reviews more transparent and inclusive.
Lessons learned regarding the monitoring process Country-led monitoring: the way to go • Importance of developing country government leadership • Drawing on existing data and monitoring systems and frameworks: more or less the case, depending on country context: • A significant number of countries used existing government partnerships and monitoring mechanisms • Many countries set up an ad hoc process for the GPEDC monitoring • The exercise led to increased dialogue and transparency between the government and providers at the country level Room for improvement: Participants called for: • Increased participation • Bettersensitisationahead and of and throughout the process (incl. towards providers at HQ land country level) • A more structuredprocess (+ more time for data collection and validation) • More efforts to support the use and dissemination of findings
How has the process and framework been improved for the 2015-16 monitoring round? (1/2) Stronger process streamlining • Clearer roles and processes • More time allocated for: training country-level data collection & validation (6 months) and dissemination & dialogue around findings • More inclusive process • Earlier engagement and greater country participation • Providers of development co-operation, CSOs and other stakeholders are being engaged from early on and throughout the process.
How has the process and framework been improved for the 2015-16 monitoring round? (1/2) Strengthened methodologies for the four new indicators • Extensive consultation process for the review of each methodology • Final review by the Monitoring Advisory Group Greater support for the implementation • Three regional workshops, online Helpdesk, targeted support, user-friendly tools, etc. Broader use of monitoring findings • More time allocated to pre-HLM country level dissemination and discussions. • Country profiles & data to inform country-level policy dialogue. • Further engagement of regional platforms for regional assessments (e.g. NEPAD, PIFs, AP-DEF ). • User-friendly data visualisationtools and formats, policy briefs, actionable recommendations.
