CSO Development Effectiveness Global Framework

Here is the most recent version of the drafte International Framework:

Where does the draft Open Forum Framework come from?
The draft International Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness is built on the content generated at the Open Forum National Consultations. The mandate for undertaking this process can be found here.
A first draft of the Open Forum International Framework was developed from the content generated at the over 60 national consultations undertaken between March and August 2010. This first version of the Draft Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness (now outdated!), which was made available in English, French and Spanish in September 2010, was discussed in detail at the first Global Assembly of the Open Forum. A longer Synthesis Report of the National Consultations was also compiled, and is available in English, French and Spanish.

DEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESS

The focus for international dialogue on effectiveness has
begun to shift from aid effectiveness to development effectiveness, in line with the argument put forward by CSOs that effective development requires more than “just” effective institutional aid.

Enshrined in a human rights framework, CSOs argue that development effectiveness is about the impact of the actions of
development actors, including donors and governments, on improving the lives of the poor and marginalised. It promotes sustainable positive change that addresses, within a democratic framework, the root causes as well as the symptoms of poverty, inequality and marginalisation.

The concept of development effectiveness emphasises the necessary diversity and complementarity of instruments, policies and actors to achieve development impact, for the benefit of the poor and marginalised.

The goals of development effectiveness are centred on the realisation of human rights and sustainable development. It gives particular attention to the rights of women, the rights of indigenous peoples, and the right to development for
developing countries. Achieving development effectiveness and sustainable impacts should be the overarching concern of all development actors – donors, country governments, CSOs and communities.
