  1. Development Partner Performance DP Performance Assessment Framework (DP-PAF

  2. Survey questionnaire returns and challenges • Only thirteen (13) DPs responded to the survey questionnaire, although the deadline for responses had been extended considerably. These include: • Danida (Denmark), DfID (UK), USAID (USA), MCC (USA), AfDB, Switzerland, World Bank, CIDA (Canada), Germany, AFD (France), European Union, Netherlands, and Japan. • Several of the responses were incomplete and this necessitated a series of follow-up requests to plug data gaps, albeit with some limited success. • Responding DPs are members of G-JAS and all but USAID and MCC are also members of the MDBS Group. • There were no responses from non-traditional donors including those from the BRICK countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Korea.

  3. Outstanding Issues • Agreement on the Indicators both on relevance and number. Task force must be set up to finalise discussions on the number and type of indicators; their targets for 2010, 2011, and 2012. • Clear definition of ODA (must conform to that of OECD-DAC) • PD monitoring on Aid Effectiveness officially ends in 2011 with assessment of 2010 performance. No indication of follow-up yet. Moreover, PD monitoring is every two years. Makes the rationale for a DP-PAF that tracks performance annually even more crucial. Also, PD targets are a composite for the country; targets for individual DPs are not the focus as it is with the DP-PAF.

  4. Outstanding Issues (2) • Ghana Aid Policy is intended to guide GoG-Donor relations with respect to ODA flows to Ghana. The intention is to involve all donors. Conscious needs be made by GoG to rope all donors including BRICKs into the DP-PAF to ensure a more level playing field. • For the UN institutions need to agree on whether they should assessed individually or as one UN composite unit (win which case we need to agree on which the focal institution will be act as the data gathering point). • Also, for the USA should the MCC and USAID be treated separately or together and which of the two institutions will be the focal contact.

  5. Issues for GoG Focus • GoG through MoFEP must step-up leadership role and launch the 2011 process early to identify and engage an independent consultant for 2011 • The 2011 assessment must be combined with the 2011 PD monitoring exercise to avoid duplication of effort and minimise transaction costs. • GoG must ensure the active participation of MoFEP and all other MDAs relevant to the process to guarantee success: this include sharing opinion with the independent consultant and cross-verification of data provided by DPs for the performance assessment.

  6. Issues for GoG Focus (2) • Based on the baseline results, and especially so in the report on the partnership arrangement, GoG must dialogue with DPs to analyse reasons for weak performance, including what the GoG can do improve on its part to improve the relationship • GoG must without delay implement the Ghana Aid Policy, motivate DPs to participate in the true spirit of mutual accountability (PD Indicator 12) and insist on compliance by DPs • Must use the DP-PAF assessment results for individual DPs to improve bilateral negotiations

  7. Issues for DPs’ Focus • DPs must fill in the DP-PAF questionnaire, submit them on time, and be ready for interviews with the independent consult. Adhering to timelines is very crucial for the 2011 exercise because of the PD monitoring exercise which is time-bound. • DPs must use the DP-PAF results when dialoguing with other DPs and GoG on performance and effectiveness of aid delivery, analyse reasons for any weaknesses and seek mutually acceptable solutions.

  8. Issues for DPs’ Focus (2) • DPs must collectively work to improve their performance through peer pressure, among other things, and agree with GoG on realistic but challenging targets for the DP-PAF indicators • DPs must involve their respective HQs on the DP-PAF process and use the results to potentially lobby their HQs for more effectiveness and flexibility in dealing with the GoG
