AbstractCountries and governments are divided on the fora and mechanisms for agreeing on effective development cooperation. But progress can be made on measuring what countries are doing in different areas of cooperation. This chapter looks at how we can assess the quality of development cooperation. It sets out a framework for measuring development cooperation across three areas: development finance; country policies affecting the exchange of goods, people, ideas, and capital; and global public goods. It considers the availability of measures against that framework and concludes on how these measures can be developed, or where new measures are needed, to provide a holistic assessment of development cooperation.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana MDGs sebagai indikator pembangunan nasional dan pengaplikasian MDGs sebagai dasar strategi kebijakan luar negeri Indonesia dalam kerja sama internasional pada Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation yang difasilitasi oleh knowledge sharing process. Dalam menjelaskan fenomena ini, digunakan teori kerja sama internasional dari Toma&Gorman yang menjelaskan tentang kerja sama multilateral yang bersifat fungsional. Penelitian ini juga didukung oleh konsep pembangunan dari Matthew Fielden dan David Easton tentang pembangunan nasional dan kaitan pembangunan dengan kepentingan nasional. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode penelitian kualitatif analisis deskriptif, dengan bentuk studi kasus. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui studi pustaka dan wawancara dengan pihak-pihak terkait.Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masuknya Indonesia ke GPEDC membantu progres ketercapaian MDGs di Indonesia melalui fasilitas knowledge sharing. Hal ini kemudian menjadikan MDGs sebagai dasar strategi Kebijakan luar negeri indonesia yangkala itu menganut prinsip bebas-aktif memungkinkan pemerintah Indonesia untuk bekerja sama dengan negara-negara berkembang untuk bersama-sama memecahkan masalah-masalah yang muncul dalam penerapan MDGs. Hal ini memberikan ruang untuk munculnya south-to-south and triangular cooperation dalam GPEDC.

AbstractAchieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires significant behavioural changes from a variety of actors, including actors in development cooperation. Within this context, this chapter discusses important political as well as technical factors that influence the contribution of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) and its monitoring framework to the implementation of the SDGs. These are, among other things, the complementarity of the GPEDC monitoring framework to the SDGs; the limited enthusiasm of development partners from the Global South, in particular China and India; the limited attention paid to the platform in general and the monitoring framework in particular by member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); as well as the missing interpretative evaluations and follow-up processes in the aftermath of the respective monitoring rounds.

AbstractThe Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) is regarded as being the twenty-first-century epitome of a partnership within a polycentric world in the arena of international development cooperation. The chapter argues that, among the group of emerging economies, the GPEDC is considered to be just another form of the DAC’s recent transformation. That is why the emerging powers are sceptical—they are not a part of it; hence, they are reluctant to join it. However, we also explain why the GPEDC is a valuable platform for continuing the role of development cooperation for global development and implementing the 2030 Agenda. The chapter suggests how different stakeholders—including the emerging ones, particularly China—can work together to make the GPEDC a genuine partnership.

Abstract Over the last few decades there has been an increased focus on results within development cooperation, and there has been an intense debate regarding the possible success or failures of development efforts. However, there is no general agreement on what a development result is, or why and whose development results should be reported. The understanding of what a development result entails has also shifted over time. This article aims to contribute to the current debate on development results by exploring how one donor, Sweden, historically has conceptualized development results in its policies and strategies on development cooperation. A review of all policies and general strategies on Swedish development cooperation published between 1962 and 2013, reveals that there has been a shift in how results are conceptualized: from being a mere instrument for supporting partner countries in pursuing more effective development policies and interventions, reporting of development results has become one of the main strategic tools for pursuing a Swedish development cooperation.

Development cooperation has to be visible in some form to ensure domestic political support for Official Development Assistance. This explains the frequent calls for greater visibility at the headquarters level of aid agencies. However, effective development cooperation is not compatible with every form of visibility. Aid practitioners at field level in partner countries report that actions geared toward increasing the effectiveness of development cooperation become more challenging if these actions lack a certain degree of visibility. Whether aid is delivered on or off the budget of the partner country or whether aid programmes are aligned to the partner country’s priorities is linked to the domestic pressure on development partners for visibility in the partner country. This paper analyses the influence of visibility on the implementation of the aid effectiveness agenda. It assesses the impact of visibility on the principles and commitments of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), the Accra Agenda for Action (2008) and the Busan Partnership Agreement for Effective Development Cooperation (2011), and presents parameters of a ‘new’ visibility that is conducive to the agenda.
