World Bank Discusses Aid Effectiveness in Fragile States with Civil Society
3P Human Security, the Alliance for Peacebuilding, and other
members of an InterAction sub-working group on issues of aid
effectiveness in conflict-affected and fragile states helped organize a
panel discussion about the implementation of New Deal principles at the three-day Civil Society Policy Forum, part of the World Bank and IMF 2012 Spring Meetings.
The meeting follows the global buzz generated when 35 donor and
recipient countries (including the United States) signed the New Deal in
Busan at the end of 2011. The panel included government
representatives from self-described "fragile states" (called the g7+),
civil society representatives from the global South, and the
coordinator of the North-South inter-governmental dialogue process
(called the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding which produced the New Deal).
The New Deal and the long-term global dialogue that made it become a reality is significant because it signals the broadest consensus ever reached between donor and recipient nations about how international aid to conflict-affected and fragile states must be done in a way that fosters more sustainable and inclusive development outcomes and inclusive state-society relations in parts of the world where cycles of war and poverty are most severe. 3P Human Security and peacebuilders around the world hope the principles of the New Deal will become a core pillar of whatever global development framework emerges after the Millennium Development Goals expire in 2015.
