PDG provides technical support for Government of Haiti workshop (8-9 July) July 27th, 2010
|
|
In a letter to the PDG dated 14 June 2010, the Prime Minister of Haiti, Mr. Jean-Max BELLERIVE, requested that a workshop be organised on the reinforcement of the capacities of the Government of Haiti to regulate and co-ordinate basic social services (health, education, water and sanitation). The purpose of the workshop was to guarantee more effective co-ordination between the government, non-state providers and donors. More information on the workshop is available on the OECD website (in French: www.oecd.org/document/62/0,3343,fr_39406396_39406575_45642622_1_1_1_1,00&&en-USS_01DBC.html).

Handbook on contracting out being published; Multimedia support developed by Advisory Unit June 3rd, 2010
|
PDG members approved the OECD-PDG Handbook on Contracting Out Government Functions and Services in Post-Conflict and Fragile Situations during their meeting in Paris on 4 June. The Handbook, which is now being published, will be available in September both online and in print.
In order to illustrate the complex issues associated with contracting out in fragile situations, the PDG is developing a multimedia support in the form of a short documentary film to accompany the Handbook. This film will provide viewers with a first-hand look at the realities of contracting out, as shown in three case studies. A trailer for the documentary, which shows the example of the education sector in Haiti, is available for viewing online.

Coming soon: Call for Proposals for study on capacity gaps at centres of government (June 29th, 2010)
The PDG Advisory Unit will launch a call for proposals in the coming weeks for a study on "Capacity Gaps at Centres of Government: Strategic Planning, Co-ordination, Implementation, Monitoring and Communications in Post-Conflict and Fragile Situations". The main objective of the study will be to advance knowledge on the policy environments and the policy management systems within post-conflict and fragile states; to contribute to better approaches to strengthening strategic planning, policy co-ordination and implementation monitoring; and to examine which forms of international support are best suited to strengthening the capacities of the centre of government in post-conflict and fragile contexts. Interested members of the PDG community of practice should contact the PDG Advisory Unit for more information on the study.... more »
Haiti: Update on work to support the Government (June 29th, 2010)
In April, the OECD Secretary-General received a letter from the Prime Minister of Haiti, H.E. Jean-Max Bellerive, which called for greater OECD collaboration with the Government of Haiti based on the dialogue and support the PDG has initiated there since 2008 and enhanced following the 12 January earthquake. On 4 June, the Chief Economist in the Office of the Prime Minister of Haiti, Dr. Jean-Palème MATHURIN, addressed the PDG membership in Paris. Dr. Mathurin underlined the importance of improving the delivery of basic social services, which has been the key area of focus for the PDG's work in Haiti. In light of the PDG's ongoing dialogue and support on the basis of its policy note on service delivery in Haiti, Prime Minister Bellerive has now requested the PDG to provide technical support to his Government in its efforts to strengthen its capacity to deliver basic social services and to optimise its collaboration with Non-State Providers. This support will take the shape of the PDG's technical support and participation in the upcoming Government of Haiti workshop on "Reinforcing the Capacity of the Government of Haiti to Deliver and Co-ordinate Basic Social Services," to be held in Port-au-Prince on 8-9 July 2010. For more information on the PDG's work in Haiti, please visit our website.... more »
PDG Diaspora research presented to AfDB (May 29th, 2010)
During an event organised on the margins of the African Development Bank's Annual Meeting, which was held 27-28 May in Abidjan, the PDG was invited as a panellist to present emerging lessons from its work on the contributions of diasporas in post-conflict and fragile situations. Other panellists included the Finance Minister from Sierra Leone, the Joint Secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs of the Finance Ministry of India, and the president of the Korea Institute for Development Strategy. These lessons were drawn from the PDG’s preliminary study, which looks at the circumstances under which diaspora return can make an effective contribution to strengthening the capacity of governments to perform core functions and deliver basic services. For more information on the study, please contact the PDG Advisory Unit.... more »
