The overall goal of the Programme on Development Cooperation Effectiveness and Harmonization is to provide support to the Government and partners’ to enhance better utilisation of ODA through (a) enhancing information sharing and management; (b) building an enabling environment for policy coherence; and (c) reducing burdens on the civil service through greater harmonization of donor procedures in line with the principles of the Rome and Paris Declarations and OECD/DAC Guidelines. The programme has designed to view the development cooperation coordination and effectiveness efforts in line with the overall framework of national planning and budgeting in order to avoid marginalization or even irrelevance and fragmentation of donor-supported programs, and to ensure national leadership, ownership and accountability. Particularly, the MDG-based long term National Development Strategy, medium-term planning documents and annual budget laws will be utilised as a basis for the development cooperation coordination efforts. Therefore, the Programme’s strategy in this regard is to act as a catalyst and provide support to the process of twinning development planning and coordination, and to bring about a more effective use of resources.
