13:30-16:00 Roundtable I: “New Challenges”

The Workshop would emphasize the need to focus on development outcomes, with aid effectiveness as an instrument, not an end in itself.

Evidence would be presented on how better aid practices can improve development outcomes (as well as of cases where failures in aid coordination led to reduced development impact). The roundtables would also recognize that effective aid principles are context specific and hence should be discussed in the context of fragile states, as well as in the context of mainstreaming global public goods into development.

New actors are better organized than before, permitting discussion on how partnerships can be formalized for systemic change, and move beyond one-off project- level collaboration.

Day 2 – WEDNESDAY, December 1, 2010

08:30-11:00 Roundtable III: “New Approaches”

The impact of development cooperation must go beyond individual projects to systemic change. That requires different approaches and innovative solutions. Innovation starts with transparency, an understanding of gaps between needs and resources. It also includes attention to institutionalized processes to achieve results at scale. South South Cooperation is increasingly gaining importance and relevance for building inclusive and effective global partnership for development through knowledge exchange and peer learning. Lastly, the most effective interventions and partnerships may occur in specific country and sector contexts, led by recipient governments.

G. Innovations for Greater Impact:

Transparency and Scaling Up

Towards Horizontal Partnerships

Ownership and Mutual

Accountability
