• Joint Programming has added value in strengthening political, policy and technical dialogue,
• JP has short term transaction costs but hope for long-term benefits,
• JP should develop common positions, improves access to and sharing of information and analysis through regular HoC meetings,

• JP is becoming a necessity with ODA shrinking as a proportion of national resources, the rise of emerging donors and increasing private sector investment in partner countries,
• Better coordination and sharing of responsibilities (labour) increases the EU’s reach and ability to analyse and influence national and sector policies (e.g. in producing policy papers),
![Page 4: Joint Programming Workshop Conclusions 21 January 2014, Antigua, Guatemala.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649edc5503460f94bed456/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Synchronisation is the process of aligning the strategy part of the joint programme to a relevant timetable (e.g. a government development plan) and roadmap at country level,
• JP happens with the willing and able but is always open to increasing participation from like-minded donors,
• JP is built and focuses on policy and strategies donors agree on,

• Where disagreements and lack of consensus delay the process, HQs should be notified and requested to resolve,
• HQ services are available to support as requested,
• Share the workload with the MS and EUD (for ownership as well as quality),
• Elaborate results (if possible common results) at the country level,

• JP builds on Division of Labour at sector level that should encourage EU sharing of workloads (and coordination), accountability and ensure inclusivity,
• Look for added value opportunities at country level,
• Demonstrate value to partner countries; focus on better working relationships with government and policy makers as well as technical officers.

• JP should focus on improving EU+ knowhow on government entry points and opportunities to influence positive policy change,
• DoL is based on a common vision,• Joint programming should commit to
promoting joint analysis, monitoring, evaluation and implementation at the sector level,
• Be flexible and simple,

• JP should commit and contribute to effective government led sector coordination,
• There is a need for JP guidance,• Implementation should be monitored and good
practice examples shared for country level implementation,
• The EU HoCs should meet regularly, jointly report on and monitor implementation of the JP,}
• Modalities for including non-EU donors.
