The Framework for PCSD

Transcription

1 The Framework for PCSD A Self-Assessment Tool Building Policy Coherence: Tools and Tensions 2.0 Workshop March 30-31, 2015 OECD Conference Centre, Paris Ernesto Soria Morales OECD - Policy Coherence for Development Unit Web: PCD Platform:

2 Rationale for updating the PCD Toolkit Fulfil the mandate set out in the OECD Strategy on Development Align to the new definition of PCSD Respond to the international demand for enhancing coherence for sustainable development Be responsive to the vision of a universal, integrated and transformative Post-2015 Development Agenda. Provide a flexible tool more relevant for all countries. Reflect changes in the global development landscape

3 Purpose Support the design, implementation and assessment of mutually supporting policies. Help adapt and strengthen current policy coherence efforts to SDGs. Facilitate dialogue between policy-makers and key stakeholders. Analytical Tool Self-Assessment Tool Checklist of Criteria institutional mechanisms, policy settings & processes priorities Sustainable Development

4 New features introduced A more integrated approach From a sectoral perspective (e.g. agriculture, trade, environment) to one focused on key issues (e.g. illicit financial flows, food security). A new definition of PCSD More emphasis on sustainability criteria. Alignment to the SDGs. New sections providing an analytical framework and options for monitoring PCSD in the SDG Framework

5 The structure of the PCSD Framework CONTENT 3 Generic Modules: Analysis Mechanisms for Coherence Monitoring 2 Thematic Modules Illicit Financial Flows Food Security 15 recommendations for: Conducting PCSD analysis Stablishing a strategic policy framework Strengthening existing institutional mechanisms 3 Screening checklists Priorities Policy settings and processes Institutional mechanisms Strategic policy framework Institutional mechanisms (based on PCD building blocks) Illicit Financial Flows Food Security 2. Mechanisms (Strategic & Institutional Frameworks) 4. Key Thematic Areas 1. Analysis (Analytical Framework) 3. Options for Monitoring (Monitoring Framework) Actors & stakeholders Sources of finance Policy inter-linkages Non policy drivers Policy effects Five levels of coherence in the SDG framework

6 Three interrelated frameworks (1) Analytical Framework Example: Illicit Financial Flows Challenge: Every year, huge sums of money (exceeding ODA and FDI) that could be used to finance health and education services, formal job creation and productive investment, are transferred out of developing countries illegally. OWG Proposed Target: 16.4 by 2030 significantly reduce illicit financial and arms flows, strengthen recovery and return of stolen assets, and combat all forms of organized crime. Elements of policy design Actors. Policy inter-linkages. Policy inputs. Policy outputs. Policy outcomes. Non-policy drivers (disablers). Enabling environments (enablers). Policy effects. Systemic conditions: Weak institutions and lack of capacities in origin countries to identify, track and fight IFFs Tax havens / secrecy jurisdictions in recipient countries. Transnational corruption Required enablers A more transparent global tax system Clean business environment Capacity development Consistency with international conventions and standards related to IFFs

7 Three interrelated frameworks Institutional Framework Checklist Has the role of PCSD been considered for implementing the SDGs? Is there involvement of the Centre of Government in the coordination of high level priorities for sustainable development and for achieving the SDGs across line ministries? Mechanisms for PCSD Political commitment Strategic policy framework and time-bound plan Policy coordination mechanisms Capacity and awareness of government departments Involvement of stakeholders Systems for analysis Reporting What mechanisms are in place to involve government departments, parliamentarians, civil society, business and industry, academia, in the preparation of national strategies for achieving the SDGs? Does the prioritised set of national targets acknowledge policy inter-linkages and cover the three dimensions of sustainable development? Is sustainable development integrated into regular government processes (e.g. the budget process)?

8 Three interrelated frameworks (3) Monitoring Framework Processes Political Commitment Institutional Coordination Mechanisms Analytical capacity Policy interlinkages Access to resources Efficiency in the use of resources Long-term sustainability Different levels of coherence Compliance with SDGs. Positions in international negotiations Integration of sustainability criteria in public policies. Changes in domestic policies Reduction in fragmentation Participatory approaches and partnerships elsewhere and later dimensions of SD. Policy Effects here and now elsewhere later dimension

10 How to use the PCSD Framework Users can develop their own strategy for enhancing PCSD Organisational structures Processes Policy inputs Policy outputs Policy outcomes Contextual factors Policies Policy effects Peer Review Self- Assessment Institutional mechanisms, practices, processes by which policies are designed and implemented Extent to which sectoral policies, individually or collectively produce sustainable development outcomes

11 Next Steps Incorporate feedback from PCD workshop (April 2015) Finalise checklist of the Module on IFFs and module on Food Security (April 2015) Pilot the Module on IFFS with interested members ( ) Consultation with relevant OECD Committees (April-December 2015) Final update after the adoption of the Post-2015 Agenda (October-December 2015) Final Version (Available in 2016)
