Monterrey The aid effectiveness movement picked up steam in 2002 at the International Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey, Mexico, which established the Monterrey Consensus. There, the international community agreed to increase its funding for development—but acknowledged that more money alone was not enough.
Rome In February 2002, senior officials, organizations and government representatives gathered in Rome for the High-Level Forum on Harmonisation. The HLF in Rome was focused on the theme of donor harmonisation.
Paris A second HLF was held in Paris in 2005 to take stock of the progress that had taken place since the HLF in Rome and to identify areas in which further work is needed.
Accra The Third High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness took place in Accra, Ghana in The outcome document of HLF 3, AAA, enriched the Paris principles by adding more commitments and broadening country ownership to include civil society and parliamentarians.
Busan During the Fourth High Level Forum (HLF4) in Busan, more than 150 countries and 45 international organizations agreed on the need to form an inclusive forum with a greater variety of stakeholders than ever before – in order to ensure that development co-operation has the maximum possible impact on development results: The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation.
Mexico Last April, development stakeholders convened in Mexico to take stock on progress since the HLF4 in Busan at the first High-Level Meeting (HLM) of the GPEDC. While CSOs welcomed commitments on inclusive development, untying aid, democratic country ownership, enhanced taxation, gender equality & women’s empowerment and support for CSOs as independent development actors, failure to commit on other issues such as HRBA, enabling environment for CSOs, and policy coherence indicate that there is still much work to be done. And CPDE, recognizant of the growing influence and leverage of civil society in the negotiating table, will continue to advocate for inclusive development among other remaining issues to be included in the post-2015 agenda.

Co-Chairs: Malawi, Mexico, Netherlands
Sign-on: 161 governments, 56 organizations
Complements: UN-DCF, Development WG of G20, Post-2015 processes
The Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, where the Global Partnership was created, marked a turning point in bringing this wide range of historical efforts to improve development co-operation by different partners together into one place, going beyond governments to include business, civil society, parliamentarians, international organisations and foundations as development partners.
The Global Partnership is led by three high-profile Co-Chairs:
Goodall Edward Gondwe, Minister of Finance, Economic Planning & Development, Malawi;
José Antonio Meade Kuribreña, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Mexico; and,
Lilianne Ploumen, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Netherlands.
It is a forum for shared advice, shared learning and shared action to support the implementation of principles that form the foundation of effective development co-operation:
ownership by developing countries;
results as a focus of development efforts;
partnerships for inclusive development; and,
transparency and accountability to one another.
To date, 161 Governments and 56 organisations  have endorsed the Global Partnership Principles.
The Global Partnership works with partners to complement the work of other organisations that impact effective development co-operation. These include the UN Development Co-operation Forum, the Development Working Group of the G20 and the UN-led process for creating a global development agenda for after 2015.
The Global Partnership builds on a range of international activities to improve development co-operation, including the Monterrey Consensus of 2002, the Rome Declaration on Harmonisation (2003), the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), and the Accra Agenda for Action of 2008.

12. CPDE Structure
In terms of composition, CPDE is joined by all seven (7) global regions and seven (7) sectoral groups – i.e., FBO, Rural, ICSOs, FG, Labour, IPs, Youth.

Global Council – 61 members: 7 regional; 19 sub-regional; 35 sectoral – women, labour, rural, FBO, INGO; 4 co-chairs – to expand further to sectors Migrants and Diaspora communities & PWD
Coordination Committee – 20 members: 9 regional, 7 sectoral, 4 co-chairs

5 thematic WGs – HRBA, CSO DE, EE, SSC & Post-2015; 4 functional WGs – advocacy, communications, finance & accountability; ad hoc reference groups – Effective Institutions, Results and Accountability, Transparency, Climate Finance, Aid Fragmentation, UN DCF, Monitoring
In terms of institutionalising CPDE, the 2012 Global Council Meeting in Nairobi, Kenya produced as one of its major outputs the Nairobi Declaration on Development Effectiveness. This served as the founding document of CPDE which stipulates the context, scope of work and mandate, and composition of the platform.
The CPDE Byelaws are also being finalised for implementation, and a number of protocols for the proper operations and procedures within the platform has been signed off for implementation. The Fiscal Sponsor, as selected by the GC, now sits as part of the FinCom and the GC and is co-terminus with the multi-year programme.

Working Groups and Committees
CPDE members organise their work through different working groups (WGs), committees and ad hoc groups.(See chart below):
Thematic WGs: elaborate on the policy messages, elements of negotiation, information exchange, analysis and strategic responses on all the details with their own thematic area. They work with the support of the Global Secretariat. To keep leads of working groups updated on the dynamics and processes of the Global Council, they are included in the list-serve of the GC, albeit moderated, and are invited in CC meetings and conference calls as needed. However, this does not make them official members of these bodies. All WGs are connected through the Advocacy Committee that acts as a unifying umbrella of all the advocacy work of the CPDE and leads the advocacy towards the GPEDC.
Committees: focus on performing oversight functions on priority areas of policy and program work. Communications Committee: provides guidance and support to the communications work of CPDE. The members provide inputs to the communication strategy development and implementation to effectively intensify its reach.
Finance Committee: oversees the finance management aspect of the platform and is mandated to review program budgets and financial reports of the platform. It also helps ensure sound finance management of its funding and oversees the fundraising efforts both of the platform and its constituencies.
Outreach Committee: facilitates and coordinates outreach work, provide technical and expert guidance, and make recommendations towards further strengthening the platform, to the CC, Co-Chairs, GC or other CPDE bodies/units when necessary.
Building Blocks & Reference Groups:respond to the emergence of Global Partnership Initiatives (GPIs)  and priority themes. They are more 'loose' than the working groups in that CSO representatives in these groups engage on their own and represent their own organizations in their engagements and only carry the CPDE as an additional hat. As such, they are not funded by the CPDE Programme and are only requested to share information to CPDE, but are not obliged to report.
 Needs explanation (maybe in footnote?)) still of what these are. Sth for global secretariat probably?
