The Paris Declaration: Targets and Commitments Presentation to the 5th Country Analytic Workshop Washington D.C., June 24, 2005 Soe Lin
Outline of Presentation • Paris Declaration in context • Key elements • Indicators and targets • Targets for CAW • Harmonization and alignment for country analytic work • Implementing the Paris Declaration-some implications for CAW
Context • Rome Declaration:applying good practice principles • Marrakech:core principles for managing for development results • Paris Declaration: implementation and monitoring the results of harmonization and alignment. • International partnership-Working Party on Aid Effectiveness- hosted by the OECD-DAC oversees the process.
Paris Declaration • Paris Declaration built on platform of ownership, harmonization, alignment, managing for results principles, mutual accountability • Who ‘signed’ it? • 35 donor countries • 26 multilateral donor agencies. • 56 countries that receive aid. • [14 Civil society organisations] • more effective aid: • 56 specific commitments. • 12 Indicators of progress.
Paris indicator and target for CAW • Of the 12 indicators, indicator 10b-percent of country analytic work, including diagnostic reviews that are joint is of direct relevance to the work of this group • Numerator is number of analytic reports undertaken by two or more donors jointly or by one donor on behalf of another donor (or donors) • Denominator is total number of country analytic reports • 258 donor responses from 33 countries indicated 430 joint CAW out of 1400 reports-31% • Target proposed is 2/3 of joint CAW by 2010
Why harmonize and align Country Analytic Work • Harmonization and alignment in CAW more than transaction cost issue • Done properly: • Builds ownership • Provides shared diagnostic framework • Minimizes conflicting performance targets • Better targets capacity building • Facilitates program based lending and use of country systems
Implementing the Paris Declaration-some implications • Paris Declaration indicators and targets closely interlinked with CAW indicator and target • Increasing the number of operational development strategies (indicator 1), increasing reliability and use of partner country systems (indicators 2 and 5), and increased use of program based approaches (indicator 9) are all highly dependent on quality CAW. • High demand for CAW of type which has ownership by partner countries, buy-in by multidonors, and provides operational guidance for program implementation • This is the upcoming challenge for CAW community
