Meeting of the Informal Development Partners Working Group on Decentralisation and Local Governance (DeLoG) - Agenda and Presentations
Event details
Description
The general objective of the 6th annual meeting is to take stock of the activities of the group carried out in 2011 and explore ways forward to make donor support more effective.
This year a special focus will be given to the publication in preparation for the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness to be held on 29 Nov. – 1 Dec. 2011 in Busan. The publication will focus on the Paris Declaration and Accra principles and will look at the extent to beneficiary countries and donors have found ways to increase ownership, used mechanisms to align and harmonise aid for decentralisation, and used results-based frameworks and mutual accountability mechanisms.
The meeting will also be an opportunity for donors and other participants to share good practices and experiences related to DLG. Especially issues such as the dynamics between decentralisation and sector programmes, fiscal decentralisation and how to measure the results and impact of decentralisation will be considered.
