SDG Indicator 17.16.1: Number of countries reporting progress in multi-stakeholder development effectiveness monitoring frameworks that support the achievement of the sustainable development goals
1. Key features and metadata
Definition: This indicator monitors the number of countries reporting progress in multi-stakeholder monitoring frameworks that track the implementation of development effectiveness commitments supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Sources of information: Results of elements of the Global Partnership’s monitoring framework that are relevant to partner countries and bilateral development partners, including data collected at the country level and data available from existing global assessments. At country level, data is reported by relevant government entities (typically the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Planning or Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and by development partners and stakeholders. OECD and UNDP are supporting countries in collecting relevant data, as well as calculating results, through the Global Partnership monitoring framework.
Related SDG Indicators: 17.15.1 (Extent of use of country-owned results frameworks and planning tools by providers of development cooperation) and 5.c.1 (Proportion of countries with systems to track and make public allocations for gender equality and women’s empowerment).

This disaggregation highlights the specific dimensions of effective development cooperation and the practical types of actions implemented by providers. It focuses on the respective contributions of each of the potential entry points for development cooperation available to providers andcan be used by policymakers to develop practical steps for improving development cooperation results by mobilizing stronger multi-stakeholder partnerships for development. It also acknowledges the diversityand complementarity of entry points for supporting effective development cooperation (e.g. ensuring the alignment of aid interventions with national priorities while delivering aid through recipient country systems). It can also serve as the information basis for assessing the respective but differentiated commitments of donors and beneficiary countriesto further strengthening the quality of their development partnerships(GPEDC 2018). |
This disaggregation computes useful information to support the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder partnerships for development. It can provide multiple benefits for governments, local authorities and concerned stakeholders, including the private sector and the marginalized groups, to maximize development impacts by: (a) providing opportunities to enhance collaboration between development cooperation partners based on success stories and experiences and aligned to national policies and priorities; (b) mobilizing and engaging stakeholders in inclusive partnerships and coalitions for sustainable development; (c) bringing together and catalyzing available knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources; (d) building capacity in support of aid effectiveness in alignment with national priorities; (e) promoting South-South cooperation and the dual role of an increasing number of countries as both provider and recipient of development cooperation; and (f) empowering decision-makers regarding SDG achievement and development framework effectiveness by providing relevant data and evidence in support of better informed decisions. Beyond supporting stronger co-ordination, a reinvigorated and qualitative multi-stakeholder development partnership prompts national dialogue and inclusive participation of all relevant development partners. It encourages openness, mutual respect and trust. It also fosters ownership of development priorities by decision-makers and the population as well as theimplementation of measures tailored to country and population needs. It drives behavioural changes to improve the impact of development cooperation and strengthen transparency of decision processes and mutual accountability, which are critical for improving the results of development cooperation. For instance, the expected delivery on poverty and inequality reduction, climate adaptation and resilience building or sustainable livelihoods andsocial protection(UN-DESA 2023b; GPEDC 2024). |

Complementary to the above, this disaggregation highlights the specific dimensions of effective development cooperation and the practical types of actions implemented by recipient. It focuses on the respective contributions of each of the potential entry points available for development cooperation in recipient countries and it helps to understand how well national governments and development partners work together towards sustainable development. It can be used by policymakers to deploy practical steps for improving development results by mobilizing stronger multi-stakeholder partnerships for development, while acknowledging the diversity and complementarity of entry points for supporting effective development cooperation(GPEDC 2018).It can also serve as the information basis for assessing the respective but differentiated commitments of donors and beneficiary countries in further strengthening the quality of their development partnerships(GPEDC 2018). |
