Title
Denmark Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Harmonisation and Alignment in Water
Sector Programmes and Initiatives
Good Practice Paper
Abstract
In response to extensive criticism of project-based development cooperation as inefficient
and ineffective, during the 1980s and 1990s a new aid agenda emerged which aimed to
work more effectively towards poverty reduction. The underlying idea was that in order
to reduce poverty, developing countries needed to become the drivers of their own
development destiny. Under this new aid agenda, programme-based aid has
subsequently emerged as the principal approach to providing development assistance in
less-developed – and especially in the most highly aid-dependent – countries. Under this
new framework, with the broad participation of various constituencies and the assistance
of development partners, partner countries formulate nationally-owned development
and/or poverty reduction strategies.
This Good Practice Paper (GPP) aims at addressing the following three major issues: (a)
to present an overview of lessons learned and experiences gained with achieving
harmonisation and alignment (H/A) in practice; (b) to give insights into why and how
achievements have been accomplished; and (c) to provide guidance and operational
recommendations.
