Country analytic work encompasses the analysis and advice necessary to strengthen policy dialogue, develop and implement country strategies in support of sound development assistance. It typically includes country or sector studies and strategies, country evaluations, discussion papers etc. Good analytic work is essential for well-focused development policy and programmes. The Paris Declaration recognises that donors have a responsibility in ensuring that the analytic work they commission is undertaken, as much as possible, jointly (PD-§32). Doing country analytic work jointly has a number of benefits. It helps curb transaction costs for partner authorities, avoid unnecessary duplicative work and helps foster common understanding between donors. In doing so, donors need also to draw on partner countries’ own analytical work and, where appropriate, work with government and other donors.
This indicator measures the proportion of country analytic reports or reviews undertaken by two or more donors jointly or by one donor on behalf of other donor(s) as a percent of the total number of reports or reviews.
