Outline • The emerging DPG comments: • Effectiveness of the structure • Strengthening the Key Processes • Domestic Accountability and Participation • Operationalising the Working Groups • Key Questions for Discussion
Effectiveness of the Proposed Dialogue Structure • Insufficient dialogue at a political level • DP behaviour: commitment to structure & DoL • Ambitious and cumbersome structure • Need for clearer objectives of dialogue at each level
Strengthening the Key Processes within the Dialogue Structure • Dialogue is an input to the wider Mkukuta implementation and review process • Merging structures, but distinguishing between underlying processes • Emphasis on alignment as opposed to parallel processes
Strengthening Domestic Accountability and Participation • Creating space and a clear role for CSOs, Private Sector, Parliament etc • Participation of Local Government is important • Clarification on level of GoT participation
Operationalising the Working Groups • Coordination & technical capacity of GoT to manage the structure • Timely availability of inputs to dialogue • Clarification on link between sector/thematic WGs and existing sector structures (e.g. basket committees) • Cross cutting issues • Annex
Summary of the Main Issues • The DPG commends this GoT effort • All the comments have come with a constructive spirit and consensus on emphasising: • Structural and operational effectiveness • Using the structure to achieve and demonstrate results on poverty reduction • Getting participation and the level of dialogue right
Key Questions for Discussion What will get the structure to work this time? • How do we structure political level dialogue? • How can we increase the alignment of the underlying processes (inc. Mkukuta, PER, PRBS) with the existing functions of the GoT’s Policy & Planning departments”? • How can we mainstream “Parallel Structures” to enhance the incentives and capacity of the GoT to deliver on their vision for dialogue?
