14. Roadmap of the monitoring exercise 1 2 3 4 5 6 Launch Analysis and outputs Final review Sensitisation and preparation Data collection and validation Dissemination, dialogue and action July 2019 June2018 2019

15. Running a collective, “multi-stakeholder” exercise at country level • While the governments of each country or territory lead the exercise, the participation and active contribution of all other stakeholders are a condition for success. Country level data gathering process Launch Post monitoring • Validation & dissemination of results • Kick-off • meeting • Multilateral and bilateral data gathering • Multi-stakeholder dialogue indicators

16. How multi-stakeholder dialogue supports the exercise • Maximising the joint benefits for more effective cooperation and quality of partnerships • Forging joint actions and identifying jointly ways forward to boost countries’ sustainable development • Data collection • Focal point(s) from private sector and social agents are invited to assess the quality of public-private dialogue with the government (indicator 3). • Focal point(s) from civil society organisations are invited to participate with the government and the development partner focal point to assessthequality of theirpartnershipand thedevelopmenteffectivenessof theseorganisations in theirownoperations(indicator 2). • Validation and Review • Good practice: all stakeholders are invited to review and discuss/validate the country results.

17. Data collection at country level August – October Government’s national coordinator: Good practice: Kick-off meeting Requests information from partners for indicators that require their input (4 indicators) Responds in the meantime to indicators that only require government input (7 indicators) Liaise with other actors, such as civil society organisations, private sector and trade unionsto answer indicators that involve consultation (indicators 2 & 3) Development partners and other stakeholders: Provide data/inputs requested by government Engage in consultation as requested by government

18. Examples of observed successful strategies to ensure smooth data sharing Governments raising awareness and engaging all stakeholders from the onset (use our outreaching tools and documents!) Development partners establishing HQ & country level focal points (and providing helpdesk and remote guidance to colleagues from HQ) Governments relying on their information management systems as starting point (then validate and complement) All relying as much as possible on existing management structures and co-ordination mechanisms and platforms (including emerging SDG follow-up)

20. Data collection at country level August – October Tools for data collection User-friendly ‘Country Excel’ to report country data • Self-explanatory • In multiple languages • User-friendly and easy to navigate as a website • Allows for easily copy & paste (‘as values’) the data submitted by your development partners • Auto-calculates a country dashboard summarising the country results [when data is included] And a special version (DP Excel) to receive inputs from your development partners

21. Final Validation and Review November – December • Governments: • National coordinator validates the findings with its partners • Results are consolidated at country and global level • Development partners and other actors: • Donor officials from both headquarter and country level have a chance to ensure data accuracy.

22. Dialogue and Action on Results Starting January 2019 • Participating governments, their development partners working in the country and other domestic stakeholders discuss monitoring findings in the country. • Results can be used to introduce policy changes and strengthen co-ordination arrangements, both in countries and within development organisations. Toolkits and support on how to move from results to action will be made available to participating governmentstogether with the country reports.

26. Reported by governments Countries strengthen their national results frameworks (indicator 1b) Questionnaire is structured around 4 criteria defined by key elements. Questions are answered by partner countries’ governments.

27. Reported by development partners Development partners use country-led results frameworks (indicator 1a)

28. Measuring whether development partners are aligned to countries' priorities and relying on their results frameworks Level …% drawn from.. Priority Areas Jointly identified Strategic level: Most recent country strategy or partnership framework % Country Results Frame’k Results Indicators % Use Gov’t Statistics, Data Indicator Monitoring Final Monitoring & Evaluation Gov’t involvement Overall Agenda 2030 & SDGs Project Objective Gov’t Plans or Strategy Project level: Representative sample Results Indicators % Country Results Frame’k Indicator Monitoring % Use Gov’t Statistics, Data Final Evaluation Gov’t involvement

29. Reported by development partners Development partners use country-led results frameworks (indicator 1a) • at strategic level: • Examines whether development partners define their partnership with their partner countries strategically(e.g. country strategy or partnership framework, memorandum of understanding, etc) • Reviews whether those strategic approaches are country aligned and results focused[and whether they start to reflect the SDGs] • Useful for country governments to strengthen partnerships, and for development partners’ headquarters to assess the effectiveness of approaches used across different partner countries. • at project level: • In each participating country where development partners had a programme in 2017, development partners are asked to do a similar, quick assessment of new programmes/projects approved there in 2017 (for a maximum of 6). • Useful for both country governments and development partners to assess whether new development interventions are being designed in ways that reinforce country ownership. • For development partners, it also helps them assess whether their projects are as aligned as their country strategies or partnership documents.
