Partnership for Development- From Vision to Action - We expect early implementation of the approach in the following countries: Tanzania, Uganda (Jim Adams); Ghana (Peter Harrold); Cote d'Ivoire (Shigeo Katsu); Ethiopia (Oey Meesook); Vietnam (Andrew Steer); Bolivia (Isabel Guerrero); Dominican Republic, and the East Caribbean States, (Orsalia Kalantzopoulos). Discussions are also ongoing in Central America (Donna Dowsett-Coirolo) for early implementation of the approach. The World Bank would develop a cross-country knowledge base on partnerships, capturing partnership experiences across countries, and allowing for partners’ feed-back. In addition, the World Bank would support development of a country-based knowledge system in some of the lead countries, as a tool for stakeholders to provide information and share knowledge. It would aim at (a) highlighting country development priorities; (b) providing a country-map of all development activities, identifying projects and stakeholders involved; and (c) allowing for interactive assessment of results by stakeholders.

Original Form of CDF Principles

Long-Term Holistic Vision * Country strategy needs to focus on a long-term vision * Poverty reduction requires institutional change, capacity building and strengthening governance and accountability --long term processes. * Macro/financial/structural and social issues need to be addressed simultaneously in a balanced way.

Country Ownership * Country owning and directing the development agenda, supported by all the other players. * Broad-based consensus on country strategy through wide government ownership and government led national consultations with civil society, private sector and external partners.

Partnerships * Strong partnerships between Government and donors can help reduce wasteful competition; align external partners support to the country strategy; promote selectivity, transparency and learning.

Result Oriented * Medium and long term poverty reduction goals with indicators of progress are needed to ensure policies are well-designed, effectively implemented and carefully monitored. * Objectives for poverty reduction should take as a reference point, the international development goals.
