Building Development Effectiveness Post-2015: A Results-Based Approach

Abstract

The current debate about the post-2015 period has generated a wide range of ideas on what the new agenda should include, and how it should be implemented. This paper seeks to contribute to the discussion by putting forward a possible framework that is focused on accelerating achievement of development results while enhancing their sustainability and accountability. Reflecting the interdependent nature of global development challenges, the framework integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions, with the aim of harnessing interlinkages to maximize results. The paper also makes the case for results-based financing as a key means of improving development effectiveness and accountability for resources, and touches on the potential role of the Asian Development Bank in supporting the institutionalization and implementation of the post-2015 agenda.
