This report draws on the results of the 2016 global monitoring exercise carried out
under the auspices of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation.
It offers a snapshot of progress on internationally agreed principles aimed at making
development co-operation more effective.The provision of data and information for
the monitoring exercise was led by 81 countries, with the participation of more than
125 bilateral and multilateral development partners, as well as hundreds of civil
society organisations, private sector representatives and other relevant development
stakeholders in the participating countries. This report presents the findings from
the exercise, based on careful analysis and aggregation of this information. It is
intended to stimulate and inform policy dialogue at the country, regional and international
levels, generating an evidence-base for further collective action to strengthen the
contribution of effective development co-operation to the implementation of the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development and achievement of the Sustainable Development
Goals.
The report confirms the importance of principles and commitments to strengthen the
focus on development results, ensure country ownership of the development process
and the inclusiveness of development partnerships, and enhance transparency and mutual
accountability around development efforts.
