  1. Planned Piloting of Sector-Wide Approaches (SWAps) in BiH Dusanka Basta, MoFT and Richard Moreton, DFID/ACE

  2. A Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) is a methodology that brings together governments, donors and other stakeholders in the sector around the sector development agenda. • The approach involves movement over time under government leadership towards: • broadening policy dialogue • developing a single sector strategy and policy • a common realistic expenditure program for the sector • common monitoring arrangements • coordinated procedures for funding and procurement What is a Sector-Wide Approach?

  3. Main building blocks • Sector Policy and Strategy • Sector Budget and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework • Sector Co-ordination Framework • Other key components • Institutional setting and existing capacity • Performance monitoring system Building Blocks of Sector Approaches

  4. The Country Development Strategy (CDS) and Social Inclusion Strategy (SIS) are undergoing approval, providing a missing country context for sector strategies. • There are many sector policies and strategies • The BiH constitutional structure (two Entities, 10 cantons and District Brcko) makes it more complex to develop country-level sector strategies. Sector Policy and Strategy in BiH

  5. MTEFs are prepared by all Ministries of Finance every year. • Sectors are identified in the MTEF (e.g. education, health etc.) but these represent groupings of budget users, rather than a sector programme. • Programme Based Budgeting is being introduced in a limited manner this year, which would eventually provide the raw material for true sector-based budgeting. Sector Budget and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework in BiH

  6. Several sectors have established co-ordination mechanisms jointly with donors (e.g. Justice, PAR, agriculture) • Some of these are country-led or have executive authority. • There is a clear trend towards the use of sector co-ordination mechanisms Sector Coordination Framework in BiH

  7. Institutional setting and existing capacity in BiH • Developing knowledge of strategic planning • Some experience with sector approach by PARCO and Justice Sector • Performance monitoring systems in BiH • Plans to develop M&E frameworks for CDS and donor funding

  8. Increase relevance of aid • Focus strategies and programmes on development priorities - better cooperation with sector institutions provides better focus on sector/country development priorities • Measure outcome and impact of assistance – sector based M&E system easier capture long-term effects of assistance Relevance of SWAP for donors

  9. Focus technical assistance • Minimise duplication of assistance – sector level management of assistance provides better project/programme formulation • Harmonize methodologies – technical teams working against the same agenda easier coordinate and harmonize approaches and definitions Relevance of SWAP for donors

  10. Achieve more for less • Higher efficiency– more results can be achieved through better coordination of stakeholders in the sector; • Synergy of external funds – your organization can achieve more with the same budget • Smaller transaction cost - so that more funds are directed to development projects Relevance of SWAP for donors

  11. Justice sector: • UK Embassy • Sweden/SIDA; • Spain • PARCO • DFID/UK, • The Netherlands, • SIDA/Sweden; • Delegation of the European Union to BiH - TA Donors developing program based funding in BiH

  12. Aid instruments to support SWAPs Baskets (pooling) Budget support Projects • traditional project financing • project contribution to a sector programme • project contribution to a sector programme with harmonised standards and procedures (between donors) • joint financing of a donor controlled basket • joint financing of a jointly controlled basket • joint financing of a gov‘t controlled basket • sector budget support • general budget support

  13. MoFT/SCIA is a leading institution from the government side for support to design and implementation of the Sector Approach in BiH • Milestones: • Consultation Workshops for Preparation of the MIPD 2011-2013 – • sector approaches WS Judiciary and PAR (June 2010) • Preparation of a Sector Approach development plan (July 2010) • BiH Country workshop on Sector Approaches (September 2010) • Submission to Council of Ministers of the proposed Sector Approach modality in the pilot sectors (Autumn 2010) Milestones in the sector approach Piloting Process

  14. Collecting information of donor interest for sector approach such as sector of interest and preferred aid instrument – MoFT/SCIA will send the inquiry form to DCF members (June 2010); • Bilateral or group meetings between MoFT/SCIA and donors (July 2010); • Establishment of donor working groups per sector of interest (July-Sept. 2010) • Negotiation of the MoA between donors and the sectors/government (Sept.-December 2010) Donor and MoFT/SCIANext steps in 2010
