2. Outline • The key issues in the current discussions and processes for the development architecture, • the institutional frameworks of DCA • CSO coordination (Aid Effectiveness (OECD), UNDCF )

3. Key issues in discussions of DCA • Concerns: development assistance does not bring the expected results • The current development model, paradigm don’t meet the expectations • Macroeconomics indicators of GDP, EG don’t show the real concerns on development • Evolution of development model starting from the Washington consensus: SAP, PRSP, PPPs but they are failing • UN Conference on financing for development Monterrey consensus, since 2008 UN Development Cooperation Forum. 3rd in July , 2012

4. Key issues in discussions of DCA • Structure and working arrangements of the traditional DCS is not adequate to deliver the real development • Aid effectiveness issues • HLFs on Aid Effectiveness. 1st in Rome, 2003, 2nd in Paris, 2005, 3rd in Accra, 2008; 4th in Busan, 2011 • Paris declaration; AAA

5. Changes in the aid system • the amount of aid provided by BRIC countries has increased • expansion of south-south and triangular cooperation • Increased role of large foundations, individual philanthropy, INGOs. • PPPs have been multiplied. • But global aid policy making, coordination and oversight mechanisms have not kept up with these changes

6. CSO Coordination on Aid Effectiveness • 1st and 2nd HLFs were closed to CSOs. • CSOs were outsiders, they were very critical protesting against • In Accra CSOs were recognized as equally important development actor • Governments and donors committed to build enabling environment for CSO development effectiveness • Since then 2 CSO global process have taken place: BA platform on aid/development effectiveness and DCA; Open Forum on CSO development effectiveness

7. BA position • Traditional development cooperation is unsustainable ‘structure’ • It should be changed fundamentally, conceptually • A new DC should be based on DE, social justice and HR • A new development cooperation architecture must be a multilateral and multi-stakeholder body that ensures the representation of all development actors

8. A new just DC system • Should be rooted in democratic ownership and promote participation and accountability • It should be governed by a DCA that is equitable, horizontal, democratic and inclusive. • it should have accountable and binding mechanisms that enable its implementation • a 12 principle checklist by BA:

9. a 12 principle checklist by BA • Respects, fulfills and protects HR; • Creates a clear accountable system based on HR, environmental obligations and the responsibilities of each actor • Fully uses existing monitoring and reporting system for HR, GE, ES, Decent work and other social inequalities • Ensures the transparency of interventions

10. a 12 principle checklist by BA • Provides legitimate and full membership for participation of all development actors • Guarantees the participation of CSOs • Moves from fragmentation to convergence by simplifying the current system (the number and mandates of multilateral organizations) • Identifies missteps and recognizes a minimal level of failure ; • Responds to the needs of all people (giving priority to marginalized groups)

11. a 12 principle checklist by BA • Builds on and supports the self-reliant development of Southern countries, recognizing the importance of local knowledge and resources, policy space, and capacity development • Fosters the notion of global citizenship by enabling direct information and solidarity links between Northern and Southern citizens • Is forward-looking. Knowledge and analysis must be produced locally and independently, by individual experts or institutions. The resulting findings should also serve to create an early warning system that helps to identify impending crises and emerging trends.

12. Key pillars of a just DCA • UN relevant charter and treaty bodies and specialized agencies to enforce HRBA to development, highlighting women’s rights, gender equality, labor standards and decent work agenda • The DAC will refine its mandate to focus on its original functions — mainly monitoring aid flows; • The IMF and World Bank will review their mandates and objectives to be based on a genuine commitment to social and economic justice and increased international cooperation. Their programs and policies will be monitored and reviewed by an inclusive and democratic body under UN auspices
