  1. Evaluation Utilization: the case of the Paris Evaluation (Phase 1) and its use in the Accra HLF3 process Paris Evaluation Phase 2 Planning Meeting, Feb 2009

  2. Contributed to all aspects of the 3rd High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness: • Preparatory process – studies engaged wide range of players on implications of Paris commitments, supporting and blocking factors • At the event, briefings to the 9 Roundtables, and major inputs to • Aid effectiveness in situations of fragility and conflict (thematic study) • Managing for development results • Negotiation process and content of the AAA.

  3. Specific contributions - Evidence • Holding up the mirror (accountability) • on the gaps between Paris commitment and actual changes in policies, systems and behaviours – particularly the donor case studies • Polishing the mirror (broadening and deepening the evidence base): • Validating self-assessments and monitoring processes • Highlighting aspects not well-covered by the Monitoring Survey • Deepening understanding of reasons behind weak & variable implementation as reflected in performance monitoring • Highlighting possibilities and priorities for action through multiple and diverse studies - donor, country and thematic

  4. Specific Contributions: Voice • Amplifier • perspectives of developing countries on aid effectiveness, particularly through the country case studies • use of emerging evidence in Regional Consultations, & by PCCG in negotiation process • Challenger – e.g. • PD doesn’t apply to aid delivered in fragile and conflict situations • over-focus on indicators • underlined critical importance of less well monitored indicators – ownership, conditionality, medium term predictability, mutual accountability

  5. Specific contributions – Influence policy change Informed AAA negotiation process, by highlighting • Paris not just a technical agenda of aid management, but about broader reform of international relationships in a rapidly changing context • Political leadership urgently needed to rapidly deliver aid reform if the PD to remain relevant And AAA content focus, e.g • Country leadership of aid management, country-led evaluation of policy • Alignment, from evidence on disparity between reform & use of country systems • Accountability: joint assessments, disclosure, facilitate parliamentary scrutiny, independent evidence • Relevance to diverse contexts • Relevance to all types of aid inc global funds, cso’s

  6. Some limitations to use …(that Phase 2 will address?) • Expectations from political/senior levels that Phase 1 would ‘give the answers’ on development impact of PD… Phase 2 key focus (and key challenge) • Timing …ensure findings well in advance of start of HLF4 negotiations • Comprehensiveness & limited comparability across countries, contexts and modalities … key aspects of Phase 2 design?
