Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC)
Description
The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) is a multi-stakeholder platform to advance the effectiveness of development efforts by all actors, to deliver results that are long-lasting and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The work of the Global Partnership is based on the four internationally-agreed principles of effective development co-operation: country ownership, a focus on results, inclusive partnerships, and transparency and mutual accountability. These principles were agreed in 2011 by more than 160 countries and 50+ organisations in the Busan Partnership Agreement, the outcome of the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea.
The Global Partnership supports the practical implementation of effective development co-operation principles, promotes mutual accountability, and works to sustain political momentum for more effective co-operation and partnerships. The Global Partnership's monitoring exercise and report is a flagship instrument of the Partnership that provides a critical snapshot of progress toward more effective development cooperation.
The Global Partnership’s 2023-2026 Work Programme was endorsed by the multi-stakeholder Steering Committee and defines targets and responsibilities for the implementation of its work.
The overall vision of the 2023-2026 Work Programme is to strengthen the effectiveness of development co-operation to achieve progress towards the SDGs. It builds on the commitments resulting from the Geneva Summit Declaration and the recommendations of the 2021 GPEDC Review.
The below three core outputs will serve as the key deliverables of the new Work Programme, guiding the Global Partnership's actions towards better development co-operation and partnerships:
- 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 evidence generated from the GPEDC monitoring exercise also provides inputs to the review of SDG targets on respecting countries’ policy space and leadership (SDG 17.15); multi-stakeholder partnerships for development (SDG 17.16); and gender equality and women’s empowerment (SDG 5c). Data also informs the Inter-Agency Task Force report for FfD.
The Global Partnership is led by four co-chairs and governed by a 25-member multi-stakeholder Steering Committee. Senior government officials from a partner country, a development partner, a dual character country (recipient and provider of development co-operation) and a non-executive Co-Chair lead the Global Partnership and advocate for effective development co-operation across the globe.
The Steering Committee is the Global Partnership’s multi-stakeholder governing body. It meets biannually to guide the work of the Global Partnership and ensure that it is carried out transparently, fully consulting each stakeholder group. Members include representatives from recipients and providers of development co-operation, the business sector, parliaments, civil society, multilateral development banks, UNDS, OECD/DAC, trade unions, foundations, and sub-national governments.
Since 2012, UNDP, together with its partners at OECD, has supported the effective functioning of the Global Partnership as its Joint Support Team. This role is based on UNDP’s track-record in supporting countries in implementing the Paris Declaration, the Accra Agenda for Action, and the Busan Partnership principles as well as strengthening national capacity for development management and co-ordination.
