The sector and thematic Development Partners’ Groups (DPGs) are the backbone of Development Partners’ dialogue with the Government. DPGs are responsible for coordinating Development Partners’ engagement with the Government and national stakeholders on sector specific or thematic issues and developments. DPGs typically have clear links to Government-chaired coordination groups, and their responsibilities include:
- Coordinating common positions on sector specific issues, including on budget allocations, performance and national sector priorities;
- Informing decisions on effective division of labor within the sector;
- Proposing key sector commitments and accompanying indicators to be considered by SWGs;
- Promoting cross-sector planning and programming by sharing information with relevant DPGs and the LDPG; and
- Sharing information and discussing sector specific studies and reviews.
DPGs are chaired on a rotational basis. Please contact us for more information on current DPG chairs.
