means

a Farewell to the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness (WP-EFF) !!

II Making the Global Partnership Work

Key Elements for Success

Leadership by Developing Countries based on their ownership and capacity

Donors’ actions to fulfill their commitments, combined assistance for developing countries’ capacity building

Enhanced engagement and participation of Emerging Economies

Key commitments with specific deadlines(1/2)

Untying Aid: Review the plans to accelerate our efforts to untie aid in 2012 (BPd 18e)

Transparency: Agree on a common, open standard for electronic publication of timely, comprehensive and forward-looking information on resources provided through development cooperation by 2012, with the aim of implementing fully by December 2015 (BPd 23c)

☞ a common, open standard adopted (June 2012)

Key commitments with specific deadlines(1/2)

Predictability: Provide available, regular, timely rolling three-to five year indicative forward expenditure and/or implementation plans to developing countries by 2013 (BPd 24 a)

☞ Frameworks for Success are ready !!

☞ All development partners should feel the pressure on their commitments and go into ACTION !!

III Global Partnership and the Post-2015 Framework

After the MDGs: Key changes

Deepened globalization and inter-connected world

Emergence of new development actors: emerging economies, civil society, private sector, foundations, local governments, etc

New/re-emerged & inter-dependent development challenges while poverty and inequality remain the central challenge

No one-size-fits-all, No top-down approach any more, and enhanced demands for different nature, modalities and responsibilities in development cooperation

Post-2015 Development Framework

Target date for MDG achievement fast approaching

Post-2015 needs to reflect on changed global development landscape

Global discussion & efforts for shaping Post-2015 Development Framework began within and beyond the UN UN Secretary General’s High-Level Panel on post-2015 & others

☞ Clear Nexus between post-2015 development framework and the Global Partnership

Nexus between GP and post-2015 (1/2)

Comprehensive & Inclusive Partnership of GP ☞ is a new reality Post-2015 needs to adopt

Key shared principles of GP (ownership by developing countries; Focus on results; Inclusive development partnership; Transparency and accountability)

☞ could provide guiding principles for Post-2015 implementation mechanism

‘Global Light, Country Focused’ principle of GP ☞ could provide a reference for principle of flexible

& effective monitoring system of Post-2015

‘OECD-UNDP Joint Support Team’ as part of GP working arrangement

☞ could provides a valuable experience for similar arrangements for post-2015 implementation (UN-World Bank Joint Secretariat?)

Ministerial Meeting of GP to maintain/strengthen political momentum & and sharing lessons of GP

☞ could provide a valuable High-Level, Political Platform for building consensus on Post-2015 and its implementation

Nexus between GP and post-2015 (2/2)

☞ Busan Global Partnership could provide essential building blocks for the implementation & monitoring of the Post-2015 Development Framework,

by serving as a strong vehicle for the implementation of the Post-2015 at both the country and global levels.
