Workshop Presentations [Download the free Adobe® Reader™] The NCS recognizes that a number of critical structural and process components will be required to ensure the success of the strategy by encouraging a more systematic and integrated approach to the implementation of the NCS in line with the commitments the Government and donors signed up to in the Paris Declaration for improving aid effectiveness. These include:
-
Improved donor harmonisation supporting the NCS
-
Effective NCC and NCSU policy leadership in taking forward the strategy to oversee and coordinate ongoing strategy formulation, ensure that the goals of strategy are adhered to, that policies and program are implemented, results are monitored, policies and program are altered in light of performance, that new policies and programs are devised, that interventions are prioritized and sequenced, and that cross-cutting issues relevant for development are incorporated into the strategy.
-
Appropriate coordination and management structures to facilitate all stakeholders playing their appropriate roles in the on-going formulation and implementation of the NCS
To support this process, a Stakeholder Workshop was convened on June 28th 2006 between the Government, private sector and the donor community to encourage a more systematic and integrated approach to the implementation of the NCS. A number of concrete measures were agreed to at the workshop to help support this objective, including the formation of a formal donor harmonization group and the potential for pooled technical assistance in support of the new NCS institutions among others.
