Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation
After extended negotiations, 18 sherpas elected to represent a wide group of stakeholders reached agreement on the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation.
This declaration for the first time establishes an agreed framework for development cooperation that embraces traditional donors, South-South cooperators, the BRICs, CSOs and private funders. This marks a turning point for international development cooperation. The process has been guided by the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness (WP-EFF), which brings together representatives of over 80 countries and organizations.

Bringing the Partnership to life
The Busan Partnership document calls on the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness (WP EFF) to convene representatives of all countries and stakeholders endorsing the document with a view to reaching an agreement on the working arrangements for the Global Partnership and the indicators and channels through which global monitoring and accountability will be supported.
The document sets out elements of a roadmap for implementation and commits governments and organisations endorsing it to:
- Agree, by June 2012, on a relevant set of indicators and targets through which they will monitor progress on a rolling basis, supporting international and regional accountability for the implementation of their commitments.
- Establish a new, inclusive and representative Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation to support and ensure accountability for the implementation of commitments at the political level
- Agree, by June 2012, on light working arrangements for this Global Partnership, including its membership and opportunities for regular ministerial-level engagement that complements, and is undertaken in conjunction with, other fora.
Post-Busan Interim Group
Members of the WP-EFF have formed an interim group of negotiators, the Post-Busan Interim Group to lead the development of the post-Busan working arrangements and monitoring framework by June 2012. By the end of June, the WP-EFF will convene in full to review the proposals developed by the PBIG with a view to finalising and agreeing on them.
