  1. Development Partners Group Coordination mechanism for harmonization and alignment

  2. Development Partners Group • DPG • Formalized in 2004 from local Development Assistance Committee (DAC) to shift from information sharing to actively seeking best practices in harmonization and alignment • Apex coordination organization of the DPs in context of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the JAST. • DPG seeks: • Information sharing • Strengthen quality of dialogue with GoT • Promoting internal coherence and quality of policy dialogue through better coordination of DPG Main and DPG sub-groups

  5. Challenges in the Development Cooperation Deepening the JAST implementation – Central Government, DPs, MDAs Dialogue Structure – more structure than dialogue? Division of Labour– are DPs adhering to agreements? Aid Management Platform – is implementation and DP support sufficient? Predictability of Aid – how to strengthen? Alignment of aid modalities to national priorities – project modality continues to grow. Managing for results – tangible results from the aid harmonization process? Global financial crisis - value for money and rationalization agenda. Quality of dialogue and mutual trust – process versus substance. At times, uncoordinated DP engagement

  6. National and Global responses • IMG 2010 resulted in Roadmap to improve development cooperation: • JAST revision and deepening implementation • Strengthening dialogue • Key assessments (predictability, Exchequer System, project modality, basket harmonization) • Improve AMP and budget cycle • Busan Partnership agreement • Global light and Country-heavy bottom-up • New development cooperation strategy • Unfinished Paris and Accra work • Busan principles of broader Development Effectiveness partnership • Clearer results, roles and responsibilities
