Reduction

Results from breakout group on 08/02/12

Peaceful Protest

• Confusion – overlapping agendas but

everything is related

• GE is nebulous but already exists

• GE is country specific – what kind of

resources and what kind of economy

• Governance frameworks still to be nailed

down

Specific Recommendations

• GE must follow national development plans where implementation promotes harmonisation

• We know the ‘What’. The ‘How’ is missing

• Successful pilots & mechanisms should be fed back to guide GE implementation

• Laws, institutions, processes that work must be in place

Specific Recommendations

• Countries need to know which institutions to focus on to enhance harmonisation

• Need to avoid funding confusion and dis-harmony (HIV/AIDS funding in Botswana)

• GE incorporated into existing development indicators

• There is a huge group of actors whose role is not yet clear

General Conclusions

• Must be clear between ‘Harmonisation of Processes’ and ‘Harmonisation of Institutions’

• Get harmonisation right among donors and other groups first

• PEI as a platform for harmonisation

• The poor, results, capacity building
