Purpose of the MJAS • A joint partnership between government and donors to ensure better delivery of results • A mechanism to enhance aid effectiveness: – stronger ownership, better alignment and greater harmonisation • A tool to support mutual accountability • Turning the Partnership Principles into practice • Key focus is how we work together
Achievements so far • Partnership Principles: underpin JAS • Mapping of DP support: facilitated establishment of new sector coordination mechanisms; will support division of labour • Identification of roles of lead and active partners • Identification of Sector Coordination Councils and some Lead Development Partners
Process from here forward • Draft JAS circulated first week of May • Discussed at a dedicated meeting to agree key issues • Parallel dialogue with Ministries (through ACU) and with lead partners (through Aid Coordination Consultant) to clarify roles and function of sector mechanisms and lead partners
Examples of issues to agree for finalising the draft MJAS • Expected functions/ outcomes of sector level mechanisms • The nature of Programme Based Approaches in Moldova (links to functioning of Sector Councils) • Steps to take to complete a Division of Labour (in conjunction with EU fast track initiative) – how far do we want to go, by when? • How data on ODA is to be captured, stored and shared (in conjunction with EU support); other information sharing requirements • How to ensure a focus on delivering (and monitoring) development results • A JAS results matrix with monitoring indicators and targets which are, to the extent possible, based on existing indicators and processes
