*Context in which the AfCoP was established and is evolving.
At the Second and Third High Level Forums on Aid Effectiveness
(Paris, 2005 and Accra, 2008 respectively), African countries and
donors alike called for stronger country ownership and leadership
as well as capacity development initiatives to strengthen country
institutions and to support national efforts to implement the Paris
Declaration, with a focus on achieving development results. The
AfCoP is a response to this call and to the strong demand for
continued peer-to-peer exchange in the African region. It responds
to concerns that knowledge sharing activities on MfDR need to be
sustained beyond international meetings and considered in a more
long term and systematic framework. The AfCoP provides an
innovative method to strengthen capacities required to achieve and
account for development results.
Following a series of OECD/DAC supported Mutual Learning
Initiatives (MLIs) held in Uganda and Burkina Faso in 2006,
representatives of African countries spontaneously demanded to
build on the knowledge exchanged through these meetings and
continue MfDR experience exchanges. It began from African
participants willingness to shift the traditional and event-focused
knowledge sharing approach to exist on a sustained basis for
greater impact. *These objectives were achieved thanks to AfCoP
members. The AfCoP is driven by its members and, more specifically,
led by a volunteer Core Management Team (CMT) made up of 27 members
who dedicate their time and commitment to managing the AfCoP. The
majority of members are national level civil servants who come from
over 18 countries across Africa. They are organized in four
management teams (National Chapters, Monitoring, Partnership and
Communication) and five subject-matter teams divided along the five
MfDR pillars. The CMT is responsible for providing strategic
leadership to the Community. The CMT is also in charge of
developing and implementing an annual results-focused work plan.
CMT meets bi-monthly via audio-conferences. A Secretariat based at
the World Bank provides support to the Community development.*The
AfCoP has achieved its goals for Phase 1
The Community enables members to gain valuable experience in
specific MfDR themes, learn lessons on how to overcome particular
obstacles, develop solutions that work. It delivers positive
results by increasing the value-added of African public
administration in implementing policies and development projects,
through better individual and institutional capacities necessary to
manage for development results.
This is done through: online discussions, which are chosen by
members and this year focused on Ten Years of Results-Oriented
PRSP; Citizen Engagement in Public Sector Management; Achieving the
MDGs; Budgeting for Results. To date over 70 MfDR online
discussions have been held. developing comprehensive case studies
published as part of the First African Casebook on MfDR. Half of
the case studies have been developed as part of online discussions.
the fifty results stories published as blog posts in anticipation
of the AfCoP Annual Meeting from across Africa, by AfCoP National
Chapters. The result of this call for stories highlight the great
demand in terms of sharing development solutions for results.
resources center which hosts important and comprehensive MfDR
resources, as well as a list of institutions and experts available.
bi-monthly newsletters featuring interviews of leadersThis work
attracted more members to join the AfCoP.
The AfCoP has just hit in April the 2,000 members mark. It took
two years and half to reach 1,000 members, but only a little over a
year to cross the 2,000 threshold! Over the past 15 months, an
average of 70 new members joined the AfCoP every month. 41 African
countries are represented. Briefly, 36% of the members are working
in Government offices, with 23% of them directly within MoFED or
strategic units. Unsurprisingly, countries with the largest
membership are the ones with vibrant National CoPs, such as
Senegal, Niger and Kenya, with respectively 144, 143 and 131
members. There is a balance of Francophone and Anglophone members.
Women comprise a quarter of the membership. 42 is the average
member age. Unsurprisingly, countries with the largest membership
are the ones with vibrant National CoPs, such as Senegal, Niger and
Kenya, with respectively 144, 143 and 131 members. The AfCoP is
making partnerships to increase its voice in international
dialogue.
AfCoP members are frequently invited to participate in
results-related meetings, such as the OECD-DAC Global Partnership
on MfDR, or the UN Public Administration Network.
Also, AfCoP members are participating in MfDR-related
activities, such as the CAP-Scan, which assess a country capacity
to manage for development results.*Pour mieux contribuer a la GRD,
le CMT a decide en 2010 de definir une nouvelle strategie. Cette
strategie va bientot etre pleinement mise en oeuvre car lAfCoP va
changer de mode de gouvernance. Cette reunion sera loccasion de
discuter de la proposition de la Banque Africaine de Developpement
pour une nouvelle gouvernance de lAfCoP.
Lun des principaux objectifs definis il y a un an a Dakar
consistait en letablissement de Communautes nationales de lAfCoP.
Aujourdhui, on compte huit Communautes nationales et de nouvelles
sont a venir. Je suis moi meme le President de la CoP Senegal.
LAfCoP vise accrotre son impact dans les pays africains par le
lancement de communauts nationales dans le but de renforcer les
capacits nationales en matire de Gestion axe sur les Rsultats de
Dveloppement (GRD) et de promouvoir lordre du jour de la GRD sur le
plan national, notamment auprs des autorits gouvernementales, par
le travail en rseau, lorganisation de sessions de formation et des
mcanismes de lobbying auprs des gouvernements et des organismes de
dveloppement en vue daxer davantage les programmes et les
structures sur les rsultats de dveloppement. Ces communauts
nationales, travaillant troitement avec lAfCoP animent les dbats
nationaux et accroissent la sensibilit des responsables tous les
niveaux vis--vis des rsultats. Comment fonctionnent les CoPs
nationales ?Les CoPs nationales de lAfCoP sont des structures
indpendantes cres en partenariat avec le ministre de lconomie et
des Finances du pays concern. Elles sont totalement cres, gres et
entretenues par le pays. Les communautes sont dirigees par des
agents du changement visant a: Fournir une plateforme nationale
dapprentissage par les pairs, Renforcer les capacites du pays en
GAR Fournir des conseils aux institutions nationales pour rendre
les plans de developpement plus axes vers lobtention de resultats
Promouvoir le contrle citoyen des ressources
Lobjectif a moyen terme est de disposer dici deux ans de 18 a 24
CoPs.
