Why do we monitor effective development co-operation? Meeting the challenge of achieving sustainable development for everyone, everywhere, calls for strong partnerships and new ways of working together. The Global Partnership supports these goals by monitoring country-level application of the effective development co-operation principles - country ownership, a focus on results, inclusive partnerships and transparency and mutual accountability to one another.
What is assessed through Global Partnership monitoring? The Global Partnership’s voluntary and country-led monitoring process measures how well countries and development partners are applying the effective development co-operation principles. The framework’s ten indicators assess progress in:

Whose data is included in the Dashboard? For the 2016 monitoring round alone, data from 81 low and middle-income countries, 125 development partners, 74 development organisations, and with inputs from hundreds of civil society organisations, private sector representatives and others can be explored. The Dashboard also includes data from the 2005, 2007 and 2010 Paris Aid Effectiveness monitoring process, to better illustrate historical trends for relevant indicators. All Global Partnership monitoring data is validated through a country-level, multi-stakeholder process.
How can partner countries use the Dashboard?

Key Development Challenges
Bangladesh benefits from a strong economic growth fuelled by manufacturing, remittances and a stable fiscal environment. The government has recently launched a groundbreaking Social Security Strategy and the seventh five-year development plan (2016-20). Both are well-aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. The main challenges for Bangladesh’s development relate to sustaining an enabling environment for private investment; strengthening efficiency and integrity in the public sector governance and the judiciary; accommodating a quickly growing and increasingly urban labour force while adapting to climate change; and managing substantial risks as one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries.
