The Global Partnership Monitoring Framework Purpose and Scope of Monitoring, Role of Participating Countries UNDP-OECD support team Copenhagen, 12 June, 2013

Why a global monitoring framework? SUPPORT ACCOUNTABILITY STIMULATE BROAD-BASED DIALOGUE AND LEARNING SERVE AS A REFERENCE POINT FOR COUNTRY LEVEL FRAMEWORKS What are partner countries saying?

Learning from Paris Survey Progress is happening in the right direction, but too slowly : only one target met Aid effectiveness matters for development: relevance and impact beyond aid A successful international “compact” for reform - legitimacy of norms and standards Need to sustain the political momentum Greater accountability and learning through monitoring and evaluation

Busan Partnership Agreement “We will hold each other accountable for making progress against the commitments and actions agreed in Busan, alongside those set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and Accra Agenda for Action”. “At the level of individual developing countries, agree on frameworks based on national needs and priorities for monitoring progress and promoting mutual accountability in our efforts to improve the effectiveness of our cooperation and, in turn, development results…” “ Agree, by June 2012, on a selective and relevant set of indicators and targets through which we will monitor progress on a rolling basis, supporting international and regional accountability for the implementation of our commitments. We will build on the initiatives led by developing countries and learn from existing international efforts to monitor aid effectiveness….” A consultative multi-stakeholder process led to the approval of the Global Partnership monitoring framework (10 indicators and targets) in June 2012.

The Busan monitoring framework A country focused – globally light approach COUNTRY LEVEL FRAMEWORKS Own indicators and targets Led by the country Results made public INTERNATIONAL LEVEL FRAMEWORK 10 indicators and targets, measured globally or aggregating country-level information Monitor progress on a rolling basis +

Guiding principles Focus on behaviour change that matters for development Priorities of developing countries Country leadership - data collection grounded in existing national processes Progress monitored on a rolling basis Assessment of progress drawing on indicators and complementary evidence Voluntary participation in monitoring efforts - other ways of showcasing achievements

Approach to global monitoring Global progress reports produced to inform ministerial- level meetings No more centrally managed surveys – use of existing sources of data when and as they become available Data collection at country level to be grounded in existing national monitoring processes Continued support through operational guidance, a Help Desk and country focal points No more country chapters envisioned Possibility to include other ways of showcasing achievements and efforts (i.e. non-concessional funding)

What are Monitored? NEW INDICATORS – field testing + good collaborative processes Gender Private Sector CSO environment Transparency Results “Existing” INDICATORS - strong country demand and good track record Mutual Accountability Predictability Aid on budget Use of PFM/procurement systems Aid untying

10 Global indicators 5 new indicators Country level data collection

Progress to date  Draft guide issued for consultation early March Explains objectives, process and methodology Focuses on country level evidence gathering  Strong country leadership National consultation and workshops  Helpdesk established  Monitoring workshop – opportunity to seek further inputs and exchange on national monitoring framework
