Policy coherence and effectiveness
Refers to overall policy environment for development and development cooperation and economic relations – thus must be premised on fundamental development objectives such as HR, gender and sustainability (not just economic growth)
Policy coherence is often confused with harmonization or coordination however it is related to aid effectiveness in a different waySlide3
Policy coherence and effectiveness
PCD refers to overarching development policy environment and improves with aid effectiveness
Ownership – strong, inclusive national strategies recognized and supported by partners
Alignment – participatory country systems and programs acceded and supported by partners
Harmonization – country led coordination of partner participation and action
PCD is important to achieve development effectiveness in thoroughgoing way

Concrete partner practice mixed
Mechanisms such as coordination among ministries
Regulations such as Swedish law
Strong program country planning - Medium Term Development Plans
Oversight mechanisms - National Anti Poverty CommissionSlide6
Challenges in promoting policy coherence
Aid fragmentation - global programs, private funds and emerging donors enhance policy fragmentation
Multilateral organizations complicate situation and enhance incoherence, even poverty enhancing polices example of IFI SAPs, WTO and EC Trade policy
Need to strengthen essential role of csos and parliaments in advocacy and developing policy coherence for developmentSlide7
Aid architecture reform urgently needed
Policy fragmentation, and worse contradictory policy frameworks due to neoliberal orthodoxy in past half century resulted in mixed results and development disasters – free market economics pushed by IFIs through SAPs contrary to interests of low income countries
Ad hoc mechanisms such as G20 to address policy fragmentation in climate, trade, investment, development financeSlide8
Aid architecture reform urgently needed
No international norm setting mechanism for development policy
Absence of strong development policy architecture or development cooperation architecture to address incoherence in neoliberal trade and investment policy and shrinking policy space through mechanisms such as WTO and FTAsSlide9
