The Global Partnership monitoring exercise tracks country-level progress in implementing the four internationally agreed effective development co-operation principles: 1) country ownership; 2) a focus on results; 3) inclusive partnerships; and 4) transparency and mutual accountability to one another. The biennial exercise reports on a monitoring framework that consists of ten indicators that focus on strengthening developing countries’ systems; increasing the transparency and predictability of development co-operation; enhancing gender equality; and supporting greater involvement of civil society, parliaments and the private sector in development efforts. These ten indicators, and how they inform different chapters of the Progress Report, are listed in Table A.1.
Making Development Co-operation More Effective
With regard to the response rates to each of the ten Global Partnership indicators, not all countries responded to or provided data on each aspect covered by the monitoring exercise. A total of 86 partner countries participated in the 2018 Monitoring Round, but the proportion of participating partner countries that responded varies across the 10 indicators. Figure A.1 presents an overview of the response rates on each indicator.
Proportion of participating countries that reported on country-level indicators
Notes: The grey bars refer to indicators that are reported directly by the participating country. Yellow bars refer to indicators reported by the participating country with inputs from and/or in consultation with development partners and domestic stakeholders. Indicator 4 above refers to the country-level transparency assessment. Indicator 4 (global-level transparency) and Indicator 10 are not included in the figure because they are not collected at country level.
