The Four Effectiveness Principles
Agreed in 2011 (as in the Nairobi Document) by more than 161 countries and 56 organizations, the four principles of effective development co-operation provide a framework for more equal and empowered partnerships and more sustainable development outcomes.
The importance of these principles today is illustrated by the 86 governments – a record-breaking number - who led country level engagement in Global Partnership’s last monitoring exercise in 2018. They were joined by more than 100 development partners and hundreds of civil society organizations, private sector representatives, foundations, trade unions, parliamentarians and local governments. These countries believe that the effectiveness principles are critical multiplier for their development efforts.
Implementing the effectiveness principles
The Global Partnership supports the implementation of the effective development co-operation commitments at the country and global levels through its flagship monitoring exercise and report.
Building on the commitments resulting from the Geneva Summit Declaration and the recommendations of the 2021 GPEDC Review, the Global Partnership’s 2023-2026 Work Programme focuses on three core outputs:
- Generating Evidence: The New Monitoring Exercise
- Driving Informed Policy Dialogue & Action: Country Dialogues, Strategic Partnerships and the Achievement of the SDGs.
- Fostering Political Awareness, Behaviour Change and Uptake: Targeted Advocacy and Outreach
The overall vision of the 2023-2026 Work Programme is to strengthen the effectiveness of development co-operation to achieve progress towards the SDGs.
