Session 6 Introduction to the indicator clinics UNDP-OECD Joint Support Team www.effectivecooperation.org

How will the “indicator clinics” be rolled out? Parallel Clinics Clinic A - Indicators 1, 9, 8 Clinic B – Indicators 5, 6, 7 Clinic C – Indicators 2 and 3 Participants breakout in 3 groups, each group takes turns to participate in each clinic Each clinic last 1:30 hour (5-10 minutes break between each clinic) For each indicator: Presentation of the indicator Key definitions, Background, How is the indicator measured, Key findings from the 2013-14 monitoring exercise Discussions around the indicator . Although the numbers did not demonstrate clear progress on the indicators, the overarching political narrative from the report was “a glass half full”. Why such a positive outlook? The report reveals that despite global economic turbulence, changing political landscapes and domestic budgetary pressures, commitment to the Busan principles remains strong. Achievements made on important aid effectiveness commitments that date back to 2005 have been broadly sustained – confirming that political commitment can translate into better practices at the country level, given sufficient time and sustained commitment. Also, country ownership continues to strengthen, inclusiveness is translating into action and the transparency drive is starting to show results. Despite a glass half full – much remains to be done to meet the targets that the Global Partnership set for 2015… Outcomes and process – both important for inclusive dialogue.

What is the objective of the “indicator clinics”? Understanding of the rationale and methodology for each indicator Discussions National coordinators will be invite - based on their experience during the first round and/or on their country context – to discuss about the possible measurement challenges and ways to address them .

Recap : key points of the data collection and validation process The national co-ordinator oversees the collection and validation of country-sourced data (indicators 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9b), in consultation with relevant stakeholders (key role of focal points). When possible, use data available in national data systems (e.g. AIMS). The Joint Support Team will share tools for data collection with the national co-ordinator. The national co-ordinator is expected to fill the tool with the data validated at country level for each indicator and to submit it to the Joint Support Team by 31 March 2016

General Definitions Provider of development co-operation: a country, organisation or official agency (incl. national and subnational co-operation agencies, as well as multilateral development institutions) that provide development cooperation funding. Not included: NGOs, foundations, CSOs, and private companies (even when they implement programmes funded by providers) Disbursement: the placement of development cooperation resources (ODA, OOF) at the disposal of a country. Resources provided in-kind should only be included when their value have been monetised in an agreement or in a document communicated to government. In cases where one provider disburses funds on behalf of another, it is only the provider who makes the final disbursement who should report (to avoid double counting) Disbursement for the government sector: development co-operation funding disbursed in the context of an agreement with administrations (ministries, departments, agencies, municipalities) authorised to receive revenue or undertake expenditures on behalf of central government. Includes: works, goods or services delegated to subcontracted entities (e.g. NGOs, semi-autonomous government agencies, private companies)
