  1. unite and deliver effective support for countries 2011 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration Indicators 3, 5a, 5b, 7

  2. Indicator 3: Aid Flows Aligned on National Priorities (1) What will it achieve? • Better ownership and alignment • Countries have better knowledge of aid flows • Aid is better aligned with priorities as outlined in the budget • Better accountability • Donors report aid to partners in more transparent way • Parliaments have occasions to examine the aid modalities • Countries can present more accurate and comprehensive budget reports .

  3. Indicator 3: Aid flows aligned to national priorities (3) • How is it measured?

  4. Questions: Indicator 3: Aid Flows Aligned on National Priorities How much ODA did you disburse at country-level in… • Qd1. …calendar year 2010? USD4________ • Qd2. …fiscal year 2009/10? USD ________ (response to Qd2 needed only if the fiscal year of the country receiving ODA is not from January to December) How much of this was for the government sector in… • Qd3. …calendar year 2010? USD ________ • Qd4. …fiscal year 2009/10? USD ________ (response to Qd4 needed only if the fiscal year of the country receiving ODA is not from January to December)

  5. Results for Indicator 3 More progress is needed to meet the target for indicator 3 by 2010. Indicator 3: Proportion of aid flows to the government sector that is reported on partners’ national budgets.

  6. Only very few countries have already reached the target for Indicator 3.

  7. Only very few countries have already reached the target for Indicator 3.

  8. Indicator 5: Use of Country Systems (1) What will it achieve? • Strengthen Partner Country’s Systems • Provide aid using a partner country’s own institutions and systems will strengthen these institutions and systems themselves • Reduce transaction costs • Countries can be more accountable for aid to their citizens and parliament

  9. Indicator 5: Use of Country Systems (2) • Use of public financial management systems(Indicator 5a) • Budget Execution (4 criteria) • Financial Reporting (2 criteria) • Audit (4 criteria) • Use of country procurement systems (Indicator 5b) • National procurement procedures as they were established in the general legislation and implemented by government

  11. Indicator 5: Use of Country Systems (5) • Indicator 5b

  12. Questions: Indicator 5a/b: Using Country Systems In calendar year 2010, how much ODA disbursed for the government sector used… • Qd8. …national budget execution procedures (USD)? ________ • Qd9. …national financial reporting procedures (USD)? ________ • Qd10. …national auditing procedures (USD)? ________ • Qd11. …all three national procedures as defined above (USD)? In calendar year 2010, how much ODA disbursed for the government sector used national procurement systems? • Qd12. USD ________

  13. Results for Indicator 5a More progress is needed to meet the target for indicator 5a by 2010. Indicator 5a: Proportion of aid flows that use public financial management systems in partner countries.

  14. Only very few countries have already reached the target for Indicator 5a.

  15. Almost half of the countries that were surveyed for the first time in 2008 reported no use of partner country public financial management systems.

  16. Results for Indicator 5b More progress is needed to meet the target for indicator 5b by 2010. Indicator 5b: Proportion of aid flows that use partner country procurement systems with good practices or reforms in progress

  17. The proportion of UN assistance using partner country public procurement systems is low in most countries.

  18. The proportion of UN assistance using partner country public procurement systems is low in most countries.

  19. Indicator 7: More Predictable Aid (1) What will it achieve? • Increased Ownership over Development Policies and Reform • Better implement national development strategies over the medium term • Optimise planning and allocation of resources within and across sectors • Integration of aid flows in country systems • donors document total aid scheduled for disbursement • Governments record more accuratedisbursements made by donors

  20. Indicator 7: More predictable aid (3) • How is it measured?

  21. Question: Indicator 7: Aid is more predictable How much total ODA for the government sector did you schedule for disbursement in calendar year 2010? • Qd14. USD

  22. Results for Indicator 7 Provided continued growth, the target for indicator 7 can be met by 2010. Indicator 7: Proportion of aid disbursements released according to agreed schedules in annual or multi-year frameworks.

  23. There were only very few countries in which 100% or more of the aid scheduled for disbursement was actually dispersed in the relevant year.

  24. According to the OECD’s survey data, for the majority of countries surveyed for the first time in 2008, none of the aid scheduled for disbursement was actually disbursed.

  25. Group Session I – Instructions 4 Working Groups – each group to discuss one indicator: Indicators: 3 – Indicator: 5a – Indicator: 5b – Indicator: 7 -- Questions: • Is the definition of the indicator clear with regard to the UN context? • What are the key challenges for good UN performance?

  27. Indicator 4: Strengthen capacity by coordinated support (1) What will it achieve? • Capacity development • Technical assistance that contributes to genuine capacity development; • Capacity development on national development priorities; • Stronger Alignment • Capacity development align to national priorities. • Harmonisation - Donor coordinate efforts for technical cooperation.

  28. Indicator 4: Strengthen capacity by coordinated support (3) • How is it measured?

  29. Indicator 4: Strengthen capacity by coordinated support (4) • Criteria: • Have relevant country authorities communicated clear C.D. objectives as part of broader or sector strategies? • Is the T.C. aligned with the country’s capacity development objectives? • Do relevant country authorities have control over the T.C.? • If more than one donor is involved in supporting country programmes, are there arrangements in place for coordinating the T.C. provided by different donors?
