  14. Development Centre Czech ODA and Sectoral Approach Czech ODA and Sectoral Approach – Yes or No? • fragmentation of the ODA system is the main obstruction • more C+C+C needed Education as a ODA priority • generally yes (MDG 2) but still far behind e.g. Industrial Cooperation… • need of measurable indicators (including Scholarship Programme)

  15. Development Centre Czech ODA – main challenges • Fragmentation of the ODA (9 different line ministries involved) • Unsufficient legislation • Coordination & Coherence & Complementarity • Low public awareness • Reaching of the EU target 0,17 % GNI for ODA in 2010 uncertain • More easily accessible EU funds for NGOs • Absence of central legal body - DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
