  7. Government Action Plan GAPs and Development Cooperation Programms: • cover most of Slovenia‘s CPA • is where Slovenia‘s thematic and geographical priorities (the Resolution 2015) are being applied • include humanitarian and postconflict assistance • ODA covers a range of assistance from developed to developing countries • in theory CPA tracks only the proportion of ODA: • over which recipient countries have, or could have significant say • reflects the amount of aid that involves a cross-border flow • is subject to multi-year planning at country/regional level This does not include activities that: (1) are inherently unpredictable (humanitarian aid and debt relief); (2) entail no cross-border flows (administrative costs, imputed student costs, promotion of development awareness, and costs related to research and refugees in donor countries); (3) do not form part of co-operation agreements between governments (food aid, aid from local governments, core funding to NGOs).

  10. External evaluations, 2012 Court of Auditors of the RoS OECD special peer review • Issues raised: • how to become a niche donor – focus on comparative advantages (public finance - CEF, mine action – ITF, transitional experience)? • how to best revise the legal and strategic foundations, establish clear guidelines, policies and systems for important processes • geographical orientation after 2015? • clear definitions (i.e. humanitarian aid) • getting financial and human resources management right (development professionals vs. high turnover) • strengthen public support for development cooperation, communicate development results – Slovenia’s Development Days Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve

  11. Strategic orientation • increse allocation for country programmable aid • multiannual planning • less fragmentation: focus on fewer - program based countries (FYRM, ME, CV, ML), focus on fewer sectors (environment, governance, women), focus on bigger multiannual projects • utilise transitional experience, especially in neighborhood countries (governance) • support LDCs (i.e. Africa) through multilateral channels (i.e. EDF) • joint programming (especially within the EU) • develop monitoring and evaluation capacities • enhancing private sector involvement • policy coherance for development Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve
