The Global Partnership monitoring exercise translates development effectiveness ambitions into action while promoting collective accountability through the four effectiveness principles. It assesses progress on the implementation of commitments by partner country governments, bilateral and multilateral development partners, and civil society organisations in participating countries, reflecting their distinct but interconnected responsibilities for effective development co-operation.
The framework draws on a rich and evolving set of measurements. It builds on indicators tracked since the Paris Declaration and while incorporating additional areas of evidence introduced with the launch of the Global Partnership monitoring in 2013, following the Busan Partnership Agreement. It has been further refined through successive reform processes, in response to the evolving priorities of GPEDC constituencies. It also integrates three SDG indicators, linked to Goal 5 on gender equality and women’s empowerment and Goal 17 on partnerships for development, for which the monitoring exercise provides official data.
As illustrated in Infographic 1, the evidence and results are organised around four thematic areas: a whole-of-society approach to development; the state and use of country systems; transparency; and leaving no one behind. Within each of these areas, evidence is further organised into components that support a coherent narrative on results.
