Development Effectiveness: a critical for enabler the 2030 agenda
Realizing the 2030 Agenda and driving the ‘Decade of Action’ will require urgent additional efforts. The international community has decided what it wants to achieve in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and a framework for what this needs in the Financing for Development (FfD) process. Complementing these by addressing how we partner and work together – based on the internationally-agreed effectiveness principles – will be key to the ‘trajectory shift’ that is required:
A record 86 governments took part in the Global Partnership’s 2018 effectiveness monitoring exercise. These member states believe that the effectiveness principles are a critical multiplier for their development efforts; a basis for more equal and empowered partnerships, for more sustainable development outcomes.
The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation is the primary multi-stakeholder vehicle for driving development effectiveness efforts. It brings together governments, civil society groups, the private sector, trade unions, parliamentarians, and others in a 25-member Steering Committee, reflecting the spirit of inclusive partnerships, and a whole-of-society approach, that the Partnership promotes and that the 2030 Agenda demands.
