DATE: Monday, March 9, 2015TIME: 5 p.m.VENUE: Centennial #239The recent economic crisis (2007-’08) and the concomitant assertion of rights

to be heard by leaders of developing countries have forced a significant change

in international development policies and programs. The Global Partnership

for Development Effectiveness is a state-centered framework for cooperative

development. The framework recognizes participation by both private business

and civil society in conjunction with government as essential to the success of

future development activities. This approach to development, also known as

the Post-2015 plan, requires micro- rather than macroeconomic assessment,

including a structure to enable participating countries to gather data at the

transaction level of interaction to help ensure transparency at all levels. The

International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), an idea that was conceived in

the mid-’90s under the Clinton administration, is now well-positioned to rein-

force and assess the operation of the Global Partnership. A key change is the

role of emerging states as lenders with flexible, state-sensitive standards. The

Global Partnership for Development Effectiveness constitutes a paradigm shift

in development. Under this new paradigm, recipient state governments will

work in conjunction with civil society and the private sector toward equitable

development.
