EU Toolkit for the implementation of complementarity and division of labour in development policy

This EU Toolkit can be used in different ways: as a practical manual with different entry points, either on specific issues or as a general introduction to the concept of division of labour. Chapter 2 paints a broad picture of the starting position for division of labour processes. Chapter 3 focuses on the steps in the division of labour process. Although these are presented in a particular order, it does not mean that steps always need to be taken in that order.  Chapter 4 presents specific issues that will come up during any of these steps. Chapter 5 addresses the monitoring and reporting on the division of labour process.

Throughout the various chapters brief examples are presented in boxes. More extensive information on examples from around the world, including actions by non-EU donors, is presented in the EC and OECD/DAC (2008) Compendium of best practises of division of labour.
