| The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness commits its signatories, which include the World Bank, to take action to strengthen ownership, alignment, harmonization, results and mutual accountability. It presents a monitoring framework to assess progress toward fulfilling these commitments, based on 12 actionable indicators. The assessment criteria and baseline for two indicators—1 (Operational development strategies) and 11 (Results-oriented frameworks)—are based on analysis by the World Bank for the 2005 CDF Progress Report “Enabling Country Capacity to Achieve Results”. The World Bank has prepared a review that updates the 2005 analysis, available here:
Results-Based National Development Strategies: Assessment and Challenges Ahead
The review builds on a series of Aid Effectiveness Profiles that document in-country action toward achieving the Paris Declaration goals. The Aid Effectiveness Profiles are available on this website and incorporate feedback received from government officials and other development partners. The review, "Results-Based National Development Strategies: Assessment and Challenges Ahead," contributed to the 2006 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness coordinated by the OECD/DAC. The main purpose of the review is to assess the status of country efforts to develop and implement operational development strategies and results-oriented frameworks for policymaking, and hence providing a sound strategic basis for aligning resources, including aid. It highlights good practice and draws out the implications for partner countries and their development partners striving to make greater progress. An e-discussion on some of the good practices and pending challenges identified in the review was held between October 2 and November 16, 2007 and contributed to the final overview report.
Summary of the e-discussion Questions should be sent to Janet Entwistle at jentwistle@worldbank.org or Filippo Cavassini at fcavassini@worldbank.org. |
