Session 3 The monitoring framework Background, purpose, scope, indicators UNDP-OECD Joint Support Team www.effectivecooperation.org

Background: Monitoring effective development co-operation commitments Paris Surveys (2006-2011) 3 surveys - Monitored progress against commitments made in the Paris Declaration, and subsequent Accra Agenda for Action (2010 targets) Monitoring coordinated by the OECD (WP-EFF) GPEDC monitoring (2012-today) The Busan HLM (2011) called for the creation of a selective and relevant set of indicators to monitor progress against the commitments agreed in Busan, alongside with those set out in Paris and in Accra (2015 targets) Monitoring coordinated by the OECD-UNDP Joint Support Team of the newly established GPEDC, following a “global-light, country-focused approach” Establishment of the GPEDC monitoring framework in 2012 (PBIG) 2013-14 monitoring round  Progress Report for the Mexico HLM (2014) 2015-16 monitoring round  Progress Report for the Kenya HLM (2016) Future of the GPEDC monitoring? Revisions to the monitoring framework (incl. targets) to be agreed at the HLM2 Building on experience from the 2015-16 round + MAG recommendations

Purpose of the monitoring framework Tracking progress in the implementation of effective development co-operation commitments Capture behaviour change: “how” are stakeholders engaging in development co-operation? Are they being effective? Complementary with the SDGs, which monitor “what” results and outcomes of development co-operation Why is it important? Support mutual accountability – encourage all stakeholders to match commitments with action Stimulate broad-based dialogue and learning Serve as a reference point for country-level frameworks

Monitoring approach – “Global-light, country-focused” (1/2) Country leadership Data collection and validation is: led by developing country governments, in consultation with development partners (providers, CSOs, private sector) grounded in existing national processes when possible (e.g. data collection through country-level aid management systems, monitoring process embedded in mutual accountability frameworks ) The monitoring exercise and its results spark multi-stakeholder policy dialogue and accountability at the country level. Global monitoring framework The OECD-UNDP JST: coordinates the aggregation of existing data (country-sourced data and globally-sourced data) provides continued support to countries through operational guidance and a help desk produces global Progress Reports produced to inform ministerial- level meetings Progress is monitored on a rolling basis (2013-14, 2015-16)

Monitoring approach – “Global-light, country-focused” (2/2) How can countries ground the monitoring in their own processes? Example of Cambodia Development Co-operation and Partnership Strategy Incorporating the EDC principles, with a emphasis on results-focused, inclusive and effective partnerships. Objective: ensuring that development co-operation resources are used for maximum effectiveness and impact in achieving Cambodia’s development goals, by: implementing the unfinished aid effectiveness agenda fostering inclusive partnerships and exploring ways to enhance the catalytical role of aid promoting programme-based approaches as an important framework to foster development effectiveness Tools: results framework, joint monitoring indicators, institutional framework and dialogue mechanisms (technical and political levels) with all national and external partners

Paris Survey indicators Strong country demand and good track record What is monitored? 10 indicators, grounded in EDC principles Paris Survey indicators Strong country demand and good track record NEW Busan indicators Mutual accountability Predictability Aid on budget Use of PFM/procurement systems Aid untying Gender Results Public-Private Dialogue CSO enabling environment Transparency Baseline For indicators from the Paris Survey, baseline = 2010 For new indicators, baseline = 2013/14 (Gender & Transparency) or 2015/16 (Results, PPD, CSO EE)

What is monitored? 10 indicators

How to engage in the global monitoring exercise? Participation is voluntary: all developing countries are invited to participate. Co-Chairs letter to the Ministers So far 64 countries have expressed interest Countries are encourage to report on the whole monitoring package (i.e. on 7 country-sourced indicators) A “National co-ordinator” is in charge of the process Building on country-level efforts to enhance mutual accountability framework linked to national development results framework/strategy, etc. Inclusiveness: development partners in country play an important role in supporting the process Who? Country offices of co-operation providers, CSOs, the private sector How? contributing their information where relevant and engaging in multi-stakeholder dialogue on EDC
