  1. Accountability for Results: National and Sectoral Challenges What works and what does not work and why? Lessons from Tanzania MA L.Rutasitara 06MAY2011

  2. 1. Background • Country context for (why) Mutual Accountability: as one of key factors for enhancing aid delivery and development impact. • Key highlights: • National development framework (medium term NSGRP/ZSGRP since end of 1990s), with implementation plans and M&E arrangements, role of actors specified • taking part in aid management initiatives: • National: (assistance strategies, TAS 2000-2005/JAST 2005-2005) for both G and DP as basis for dialogue on devt cooperation; • IMG • International (pre- and post-Paris)

  3. Structure of dialogue on national devt strategies • Sectoral/thematic WGs– govt MDAs with DPs • PER/PRSP progress reports/CG • Annual National Policy Dialogue (stressing widened participation, holding Govt to account for use of domestic and external resources (incl aid and technical cooperation); asking/querying about results • Not all perfect of MA but a few lessons (+,-)

  4. 2. Lessons (enabling factors) • Govt and DP jointly defining MA agenda basing on national development policy framework (with underlying of ownership/leadership, transparency, accountability, good governance …) • Joint agreement on monitoring and evaluation mechanisms / indicators • Independent Monitoring Group (IMG) recommendations to be agreed, translated into agreed actions, and/or basis for constructive dialogue

  5. Establishing channels for technical and high-level dialogue • Involvement of other stakeholders – Parliamentarians, CSOs, media (also inclusion, widening participation) – in design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation)

  6. Entailing favourable environment entailing: • Provision of information to all stakeholders on the basics of national systems (e.g. public finance mangt or procurement systems, dom. accountability institutions) • Enhancing their capacity to analyse information • Political openness • Strengthening institutional memory of DPs in the field • Confidence, commitment and trust moderated through dialogue (e.g. iv)

  7. 3. Lessons (challenges) • Power imbalance btn Govts and PDs: Gvts have little influence on DPs policies, decisions • Few mechanisms for monitoring DPs performance • Capacity gaps esp. at sub-national level impairing dom. accountability part • Handling of aid flows data/information • Handling technical cooperation

  8. 4. Forward to: • Fostering environment for expanded, deeper ,engaging partnerships under govt leadership • Streamlining performance assessment and monitoring frameworks • strengthening domestic capacity in monitoring and evaluation (indicators/data)

  9. Further improvements of dom accountabilty institutions and systems w.r.t PD/AAA • Joint reviews of aid relationship (policies/strategies) in light of changing development cooperation outlook • Continued space for independent reviews of MA on all PD commitments
