The Development Dimension Policy Coherence For Development Promoting Institutional Good Practice

This book presents the latest thinking to help governments achieve policy coherence in support of development. It provides a synthesis of lessons learned from peer reviews, specific case studies, and recent workshops.

This publication considers examples of good institutional practice among OECD countries which is designed to promote policy coherence in support of development objectives. It examines the lessons to be learned from peer reviews of OECD countries, specific case studies and recent workshops; as well as looking at practical ways forward for mustering political will, building analytical capacity, improving co-ordination mechanisms, and taking action in specific priority areas.

The 2030 Agenda is a universal, collective responsibility that covers all levels: global, national and territorial. To address global policy challenges in a complex and interconnected world, policy coherence will be key. A more coherent multilateral system will be essential to reconcile and deliver the economic, social and environmental transformations needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2018 edition of Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development shows how integrated and coherent policies, supported by strong institutional mechanisms, can contribute to the “Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies” – the theme of the 2018 United Nations High-level Political Forum (HLPF). The report applies the institutional, analytical and monitoring elements of the “policy coherence for sustainable development” framework to identify challenges and opportunities facing governments as they move to implement the SDGs, both at the national level and collectively at the global level. The report suggests eight building blocks for enhancing policy coherence for sustainable development (SDG Target 17.14), and identifies emerging good institutional practices drawing on recent OECD work, country surveys and voluntary national reviews. It includes 19 country profiles and sets out options for tracking progress on policy coherence for sustainable development at the national level.

This report introduces the Framework for Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD) - a screening tool that aims to support governments in designing and implementing coherent policies.

Abstract: "Der von der Bundesregierung national wie international anerkannte entwicklungspolitische Kohärenzanspruch bedeutet, dass neben der Entwicklungspolitik auch andere Politiken eine Mitverantwortung für die Erreichung übergeordneter Entwicklungsziele wie Armutsbekämpfung und globale Zukunftssicherung haben und in dem Sinne kohärent sein sollen. Die vorliegende Studie, die auf einem umfassenderen Gutachten für das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) beruht, befasst sich mit der Begründung und der Anerkennung sowie der Reichweite und den Grenzen des entwicklungspolitischen Kohärenzanspruchs und legt dann im Lichte internationaler Erfahrungen dar, dass zu seiner Umsetzung ein komplexes 'Kohärenzmanagement' erforderlich ist. Die Studie formuliert dazu eine Reihe von Empfehlungen." (Autorenreferat)

These conference proceedings explore why policy coherence is important, how it affects global agricultural trade, and whether it can help reduce poverty and hunger.

With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, all nations committed to a set of universal, integrated and transformational goals and targets, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Translating the new vision of the SDGs into action is a major challenge.
