DATE: Monday, March 9, 2015TIME: 5 p.m.VENUE: Centennial #239The recent economic crisis (2007-’08) and the concomitant assertion of rights
to be heard by leaders of developing countries have forced a significant change
in international development policies and programs. The Global Partnership
for Development Effectiveness is a state-centered framework for cooperative
development. The framework recognizes participation by both private business
and civil society in conjunction with government as essential to the success of
future development activities. This approach to development, also known as
the Post-2015 plan, requires micro- rather than macroeconomic assessment,
including a structure to enable participating countries to gather data at the
transaction level of interaction to help ensure transparency at all levels. The
International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), an idea that was conceived in
the mid-’90s under the Clinton administration, is now well-positioned to rein-
force and assess the operation of the Global Partnership. A key change is the
role of emerging states as lenders with flexible, state-sensitive standards. The
Global Partnership for Development Effectiveness constitutes a paradigm shift
in development. Under this new paradigm, recipient state governments will
work in conjunction with civil society and the private sector toward equitable
development.
