Using Data to Strengthen Effective Development Co-operation10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP MONITORING DASHBOARD

Why do we monitor effective development co-operation?Meeting the challenge of achieving sustainable development for everyone, everywhere, calls for strong partnerships and new ways of working together. The Global Partnership supports these goals by monitoring country-level application of the effective development co-operation principles - country ownership, a focus on results, inclusive partnerships and transparency and mutual accountability to one another.

What is assessed through Global Partnership monitoring? The Global Partnership’s voluntary and country-led monitoring process measures how well countries and development partners are applying the effective development co-operation principles. The framework’s ten indicators assess progress in:

sector in development efforts

Strengthening public allocations for gender equality

Monitoring is led by partner country governments. It engages a range of stakeholders, including development partners, civil society, parliamentarians, local government, regional entities and the private sector.

How does Global Partnership monitoring support achievement of the SDGs?Global Partnership monitoring complements the follow-up and review processes of the 2030 Agenda and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. Its data contributes to the measurement of:

• SDG target 17.16 on monitoring multi-stakeholder partnerships for development effectiveness

• SDG target 5.c.1 on public allocations for gender equality

• SDG target 17.15.1 on respecting countries’ policy space and leadership.

What is the Global Partnership Monitoring Dashboard?This data visualisation tool allows users to generate interactive displays, showcasing results for all countries and organisations that reported to the 2014 and 2016 monitoring rounds. Users can:

Compare the results of countries

or development partners within a

similar region or context

Discover how other countries

or organisations are implementing effectiveness commitments

by viewing performance over time

Whose data is included in the Dashboard?For the 2016 monitoring round alone, data from 81 low and middle-income countries, 125 development partners, 74 development organisations, and with inputs from hundreds of civil society organisations, private sector representatives and others can be explored. The Dashboard also includes data from the 2005, 2007 and 2010 Paris Aid Effectiveness monitoring process, to better illustrate historical trends for relevant indicators. All Global Partnership monitoring data is validated through a country-level, multi-stakeholder process.

6How can partner countries use the Dashboard?• Inform priorities for increasing the effectiveness of their development co-

operation. • Explore development partners’ historical performance to spur dialogue on where

further emphasis may be needed.• Understand which peers are making progress in implementing their effectiveness

commitments, in support of mutual learning on successful approaches.

How can development partners use the Dashboard?• Evaluate global results for their co-operation and assess performance in

different countries to understand where further attention may be needed. • Compare performance against development partners with similar typologies.• Explore their own historical performance at the country level, to assess if

progress is being made over time.

BANGLADESHMonitoring profile – October 2016

Key Development ChallengesBangladesh benefits from a strong economic growth fuelled by manufacturing, remittances and a stable fiscal environ-ment. The government has recently launched a ground-breaking Social Security Strategy and the seventh five-year development plan (2016-20). Both are well-aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. The main challenges for Bangladesh’s development relate to sustaining an enabling environment for private investment; strengthening efficiency and integrity in the public sector governance and the judiciary; accommodating a quickly growing and increasingly urban labour force while adapting to climate change; and managing substantial risks as one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries.
