Action plan for development effectiveness 2014-2016
Action plan for development effectiveness 2014-2016
Following Minister Schneider’s speech to the Chamber of Deputies on 5 November 2014, Luxembourg’s development cooperation produced for the first time an action plan to strengthen the effectiveness of its development cooperation. This document covering the years 2014-2016 is based on the principles of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation as specified in Busan in 2011 and developed in Mexico City from 15 to 16 April 2014. In addition, it is based on the recommendations of the DAC peer review of Luxembourg in 2012 and grounded in the UN’s continuing work on the post-2015 situation.
The aim of the action plan is to promote the more systematic application of the principles of ownership, alignment, transparency, mutual accountability and inclusive partnership, as well as the coordination and harmonisation of Luxembourg development cooperation activities on the ground.
Planning, implementation, follow-up and monitoring of the development effectiveness plan will be carried out in a cross-cutting way using the existing tools of Luxembourg’s development cooperation, especially with the partner countries.
