The Busan Partnership Document
TT and CSO messages reflected primarily in §22
on the role of CSOs and §11 and §12 on
democratic ownership:
1. Recognition of CSOs as independent development
actors
2. Provision of an enabling environment for CSOs
3. Recognition of CSOs’ efforts to enhance their dev. eff.
4. Importance of MSD (also at the core of BpD’s
proposal for a “new, inclusive and representative
Global Partnership for Effective Development cooperation...that embraces diversity”)
Concerns regarding BpD’s clarity and
consistency with regard to “democratic
ownership”
BpD paragraph examples:
• §11: “Partnerships for development can only succeed if they
are led by developing countries…”
• § 18: “transparent, country-led and country-level results
frameworks and platforms will be adopted as a common tool
among all concerned actors”
Risks:
• Requirement for all non-state actors to align with one set of
national development plans or results frameworks
• A “one results framework” approach could stifle the right of
initiative of non-state actors
GPEDC
• Structure:
▫ Three Co-chairs
▫ Steering Committee incl. CSO-rep.
▫ OEDC/DAC – UNDP support secretariat;
• Monitoring framework with 10 indicators, incl. CSO EE
▫ Uneven progress
• Four SC meetings; first HLM in Mexico (April 2014)
▫ Progress on implementing the Busan commitments
▫ Tax and domestic resource mobilisation
▫ MICs and effective development co-operation
▫ Knowledge sharing, South-South and triangular cooperation
▫ The private sector and effective development cooperation
Task Team’s Review of Evidence on
implementation of BpD 1(2)
•
▫

▫
•
▫
Democratic ownership and inclusive
development partnerships
MSD effective and on the rise
Ownership seen as alignment with governments’ plans
Inclusive partnerships are seen to exist when CSOs act
as co-implementers of government programs
Enabling environment for civil society
Continuous trend towards shrinking space incl.
growing restrictions on access to funding and
limitations on peaceful assembly
Task Team’s Review of Evidence on
implementation of BpD 1(2)
• Donor support to and engagement with civil society
▫ Policies in place and a few good examples (CoP)
▫ Gap between policies and practice and disrespect for
RoI/limited support to CSOs as dev. actors in their own
right
• CSOs’ development effectiveness
▫ Istanbul Principles and its framework; CPDE
▫ Challenges include CSOs’ internal management and
governance; coordination and information sharing across
CSOs and with governments; results monitoring and
reporting; and ensuring demand-driven programming.
