Global program funds at country level : what have we learned?
Kirby-Zaki, Jane | Selowsky, Marcelo | Merghoub, Baelhadj
Global Program Funds (GPFs), programs that channel funding to a specific development objectives across countries, have grown rapidly since 2000. Although in aggregate they are still small relative to global aid flows they have become significant in size and numbers in many recipient countries and in some countries they are a dominant source of finance for specific sectors. GPFs have been particularly important in health, environment, and education, and the authors expect similar trends in new areas of concern to donors such as climate change. The Paris Declaration of 2005 acknowledged the growing importance of global programs and the need to take specific actions to address 'insufficient integration of global programs and initiatives into partner countries' broader development agendas.' This paper, based on consultations with recipient countries (a workshop in Mauritius in June 2007 and recent visits to Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda), reports on progress and remaining areas where more efforts are needed. The Accra high level forum will provide an opportunity for further discussion of GPFs in the development aid architecture.
