Donor Performance Assessment
Framework (DPAF)





DPAF forms a part of a mutual review process
designed to strengthen mutual accountability at
the country level
Drawn from international and national agreements
on the quality of development assistance to
Rwanda (Rwanda’s Aid Policy, Paris Declaration on
Aid Effectiveness, Accra Agenda for Action)
Reviews the performance of bilateral and multilateral donors
against a set of established indicators on the quality and volume
of development assistance to Rwanda
Launched in 2009 – the first DPAF undertaken for 2008
Managed by MINECOFIN with technical support from UNDP

Final results from the FY09/10 round of monitoring generated on 03-Feb-11.
This table offers a like-for-like comparison (i.e. 2007 baseline, 2008 actuals and targets are calculated only for those 14 donors who completed questionnaires in both years).

Donor Performance Assessment
Framework (DPAF) – lessons learned






High-level of political commitments
Strong Government led process – GoR’s led verification,
consultation, and validation
Presented both in aggregate form and disaggregated by donor to
allow for comparison, individual reflection on performance,
accountability and peer pressure
Clear annualized individual provider targets (allowing for regular
monitoring and dialogue)
Analysis of results provides foundation for high-level dialogue
(DPM) – allowing evidence-based conclusive, actionable dialogue
Targets set jointly and inclusively, and dialogue informs individual
plan of actions (reviewed and monitored through Development
Partners Retreat)

Use of Development Assistance Database
(DAD) for Donor Performance Assessment






DPAF and PD indicators are embedded in the DAD mainly at
project/programme and actual disbursement level
Missions and analytic work (not project related) at Donor
Profile Level
DPs report on indicators in the DAD
MINECOFIN produces DPAF report from DAD for verification
and dialogue
Verification with Budget Department, Treasury Department,
Central Bank, sector Ministries
Verified data is used for DPAF

Use of Development Assistance Database
(DAD) for Donor Performance Assessment

Aid Transparency and Aid Information
Management System – way forward

DPAF through the DAD enhanced comprehensiveness and quality of aid
information captured in the DAD

DAD functionality strengthened to feed better the national planning, budgeting,
and monitoring process
 Integration of Chart of Account into DAD (strengthening linkages with
SmartFMS)
 Forward spending plans in donor profile
 Direct execution expenditure/direct payment, NGO execution (report from
sector Ministries/PIUs, NGOs)
Still, comprehensiveness, quality and timely reporting of aid remains a significant
problem.


Advocate to PEFA Secretariat to expand the scope of PEFA indicator (D.2) for
DPs to report all expenditure (beyond those executed by Government),
breaking down by Government’s Budget Structure (sector classification)
