The MDTF-South Strategy • Special emphasis on: • ownership and capacity building • enabling GOSS to prioritize recovery and development needs • Harmonizing development assistance • Guiding principles for prioritization: • effective core of public sector administration – core capacity to plan/ finance GOSS programs with key accountability mechanisms in place • access to basic services – consolidate peace and generate social capital through rapid scale-up of education/health programs • priority sector programs in place, including basic infrastructure (roads, electricity, water) • transition from subsistence-based livelihoods to development-oriented economy -- support to agriculture and private sector devt. • Cross-cutting strategic objectives: • explicit recognition of the regional dimension in all programs • importance of transparency and accountability • avoid crowding out the nascent local private sector and civil society
