Transparency Beyond Mexico
IATI Steering Committee
Lessons Learnt and proposals on a way forward for the Busan
« Transparency » indicator and the common standard
Guillaume Delalande, Policy Analyst, OECD, DCD/SDF
A few elements may need to be clarified
before the next version of the indicator
•
The definition of the common standard and its
governance structure
•
What is actually measured:
–
The common standard implementation
–
Information on resource flows
–
All information on development cooperation.
A number of
suggested methodological improvements
•
OECD systems and the IATI cannot be assessed
along the same parameters.
–
–
Timeliness : Statistical data differs from management data.
Comprehensiveness: not all fields are in the CRS.
•
In each dimension, some technical issues to
address.
•
The possible addition of new dimensions (such as
quality)
Some proposals on a way forward
•
•
The creation of a multi-stakeholder group,
which could:
–
Ensure the necessary buy-in
–
Help clarify some of the definitions
–
Help address methodological and technical issues
(scope, presentation of results, etc.)
A consultative and transparent validation
process.
Thank you !
