Support to the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation 2016

This project aims to support the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) an inclusive platform established in 2012 as a follow-up to the 4th High Level Forum (HLF4) on Aid Effectiveness in Busan. The GPEDC promotes knowledge sharing and fosters multi-stakeholder partnerships for effective development cooperation. The HLF4 called on the United Nationas Development Programme (UNDP) and the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) to set up a joint support team (JST) to facilitate the effective functioning of the GPEDC. Project activities include (1) support monitoring of development cooperation at country levels; (2) foster mutual learning among stakeholders; (3) strengthen linkages with global processes for implementing Agenda 2030; (4) provide secretariat support to the steering committee; and (5) organize the second high level meeting. The support provided under this project is for UNDP's JST activities in 2016.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (1) a strengthened GPEDC monitoring framework; (2) dissemination of good practices/challenges of multi-stakeholder partnerships and implementation of the principles of effective development cooperation on the ground; (3) strengthened national multi-stakeholder cooperation frameworks; (4) enhanced visibility for effective development cooperation; (5) better functioning of the steering committee; and (6) a successful second high level meeting in 2016.
