NEW ZEALAND PARTNERSHIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: CONSULTATION PAPER

The Government plans to establish a new fund in 2012 to support NZ-based organisations to deliver development activities with partners in developing countries. NZ Partnerships for International Development (NZPfID) is the working title of the new fund. It will provide support through a contestable process to NZ non-government, state sector and private sector organisations to deliver development outcomes in developing countries. The fund will be part of the NZ Governments international aid programme. The mission of the New Zealand Aid Programme is to support sustainable development in developing countries, in order to reduce poverty and to contribute to a more secure, equitable and prosperous world. The NZPfID will replace the Sustainable Development Fund (SDF) for NZ nongovernment organisations and the State Sector Development Partnerships Fund (SSDPF) for state sector organisations from late 2012. Purpose of the NZPfID The Government wants to make a difference in developing countries through interventions and projects that lead to positive impacts. To help do this, it wants to draw on the comparative advantage and expertise of New Zealand organisations from the non-government, state and/or private sector, building on the successes of the SDF and SSDPF. The NZPfID will look for high quality proposals that will deliver sustainable development outcomes and value for money. Sustainable development outcomes are achieved through interventions that make a tangible, lasting difference to peoples lives in developing countries. The NZPfID will have a strong focus on meaningful and lasting partnerships, both between New Zealand organisations and with developing country partners. It will support relationships that facilitate mutual learning and sharing of skills, ideas and resources with developing partners.

Pacific focus The Pacific is the core geographic focus of the New Zealand Aid Programme and this will also be a priority focus for the NZPfID. The programme will aim to support initiatives that contribute to the long term prosperity of developing Pacific countries. While good progress is being made in a number of areas, the Pacific region faces a range of constraints to development including geographic isolation, distance to markets, poor infrastructure, and population growth with limited employment opportunities. The Pacific is also very susceptible to the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. New Zealand has strong historical ties and linkages with the Pacific and is in a unique position to play a significant role in improving the livelihoods of Pacific people through its aid programme. NZPfID will also allocate funding to innovative initiatives working with partners in developing countries in South-East Asia, Africa and Latin America. Sector focus The core focus of the aid programme is to achieve sustainable economic development outcomes in developing countries. This will also be a priority for the NZPfID. Key economic areas where New Zealand has a comparative advantage and expertise in growing businesses and markets relevant to developing countries are, for example, agriculture, fisheries, tourism, private sector development, energy and transport. The NZPfID seeks to harness New Zealands expertise in areas such as small business development, primary industries, manufacturing, service industries, natural resource management and technology development to support developing country partners. The focus is to connect New Zealand organisations that have particular skills and innovative solutions to a developing country context in a way that will improve peoples livelihoods and well-being, and national economic growth. The NZPfID will also recognise that economic development is dependent on better access to quality social services such as health and education, basic human needs such as water and sanitation, building safer communities, and improved community resilience to disasters. Activities in these areas will be considered, particularly where they can be linked to enabling economic development. As with all activities funded through the aid programme, recognition will be given to the cross-cutting issues of environment, gender, and human rights.

Eligible organisations The NZPfID will be open to New Zealand-based non-government, state and private sector organisations. Those organisations defined as non-government organisations for the purposes of the NZPfID will need to be legally established and registered on the New Zealand Charities Register. 1 Private sector organisations will need to be legally established and have a head office or primary place of business in New Zealand. This category of organisations includes businesses, industry association members, cooperatives and social enterprises. For the purposes of NZPfID, state-owned enterprises will be treated as private sector organisations, given their involvement in business and profit-making. State sector organisations include New Zealand government agencies and departments, Crown entities, Crown Research Institutes, universities, polytechnics and Schedule 4 organisations from the State Services Commission list of state sector agencies. 2 All applicants will need to demonstrate their capability to effectively manage, monitor, evaluate and report on development activities and the use of public finances. There will be a full assessment of the capability of private sector and non-accredited NGOs. The capability of state sector organisations and currently accredited NGOs will be assessed in relation to their specific activity concepts. Applicants will need to demonstrate the strength of their partnerships in both developing countries and in New Zealand (if relevant). Eligible activities To be considered for funding through NZPfID, activities will need to: have sustainable development as the purpose. They will need to be consistent with the New Zealand Governments aid policy to support sustainable development in developing countries, in order to reduce poverty and to contribute to a more secure, equitable and prosperous world (see Annex 1) demonstrate that the activity is additional to what the government, market or other actors in the developing country may provide

Non-charitable non-government organisations will be treated as private sector organisations for the purposes of the NZPfID. http://www.ssc.govt.nz/sites/all/files/guide-to-central-govt-agencies-1sept11.pdf

 demonstrate that the activity will generate sustained benefits to society beyond any benefits generated for those implementing or financing the activity fall within the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) definitions of Official Development Assistance 3 demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to the application of gender equity, environmental protection and human rights. At a minimum, organisations must adhere to relevant domestic and international conventions and laws e.g. on labour, human rights, environment, tax and accounting treatment, foreign investment/ownership or any applicable liability or indemnity regime do no harm, including to the reputation of the New Zealand government. NZPfID priorities The NZPfID will prioritise activities that: are focussed on the Pacific. The indicative proportion of planned NZPfID funding allocated per region is 75% to the Pacific, 15% to Southeast Asia and 10% to elsewhere in the world have a sustainable economic development benefit. This is about supporting economic activity that benefits developing countries through private sector development, market development, the generation of jobs and income, and the transfer of skills and knowledge. Activities will also be considered that contribute to better access to quality social services such as health and education, basic human needs such as water and sanitation, building safer communities, and improved community resilience to disasters particularly where these can be linked to enabling economic development are aligned with the New Zealand Aid Programmes bilateral and regional priorities. Annex 2 summarises these, in particular the priorities agreed with developing country governments through bilateral Joint Commitments for Development are larger and longer-term, and therefore more likely to lead to effective and sustained results. Indicatively, 90% of NZPfID funding will be committed to applications for activities over $500,000 over the life of the activity. Activities under $500,000 will also be considered for the remaining indicative 10% of NZPfID funding available. NZPfID will accept multi-year applications of up to 5 years

3 DAC is the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD. The DAC provides guidelines on what types of assistance can be defined as official development assistance. The DAC definition of ODA is defined as those financial flows to developing countries and to multilateral institutions for developing countries which are administered with the promotion of economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective. For a more comprehensive definition and detailed examples of what can and cannot be counted as legitimate ODA, see the guidelines at www.oecd.org/dataoecd/21/21/34086975.pdf

 can articulate how tangible results will be delivered can demonstrate value for money. The overall cost of the activity should represent a good investment for the level of impact and results that will be achieved through the activity, including the number of people who will directly benefit can clearly demonstrate how New Zealands comparative advantage will contribute to the activity. While not a prerequisite, the NZPfID will also welcome: joint applications between organisations either within a sector (for example, two NGOs) or between sectors (for example, an NGO partnering with a private sector agency, or an NGO-state-private sector partnership). For these kind of consortia applications, there would be a lead applicant who submits the proposal and has overall responsibility for the delivery and accountability arrangements. The lead applicant would be the agency who has the most significant role in coordinating and delivering the activity, based on an assessment of capability to do that. There may be instances where MFAT determines as a result of the assessment process, that it is preferable for another consortia member to be the lead agency. The applicant eligibility criteria on pages 2 and 3 would apply to all New Zealand agencies in a joint proposal new and innovative approaches. This may involve partners working together for more cost-effective and efficient implementation or developing creative partnerships to bring specific expertise together. It may also involve piloting new technology or development solutions by tapping into a broader range of expertise and resources Funding and application process The NZPfID will have two funding rounds each year. While the quantum of annual funds is not yet finalised, this may be up to $40 million, depending on the number of quality applications. Matched funding The NZPfID proposes to use a matched funding approach, where applicants are required to co-invest in the activity. This model promotes joint ownership and partnership between the New Zealand Aid Programme and implementing partners; and encourages a prioritisation focus in the submission of quality proposals. The level of matched funding will depend on the type of lead New Zealand partner. The matched-funding model that will be applied in the case of joint applications will be determined on the basis of who the lead applicant is. Note that the applicant contribution cannot be in-kind.

Annex 1

International Development Policy Statement Summary version Mission The mission of the New Zealand Aid Programme is to support sustainable development in developing countries, in order to reduce poverty and to contribute to a more secure, equitable, and prosperous world. Focus Within this mission the New Zealand Aid Programme has a focus on sustainable economic development. Inclusive economic growth has the potential to improve the wellbeing of people in developing countries with increased employment and income-generating opportunities. It can provide the means for a country to develop and fund its own services such as education and health. The New Zealand Aid Programme has a core geographic focus on the Pacific. The Pacific is the second most off-track region to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and is one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change. New Zealand has close historical, cultural and people-to-people links with Pacific island countries, and is in a unique position to play a significant role in their development. The New Zealand Aid Programme will also contribute to development efforts through carefully targeted programmes in Asia, Africa and Latin America. New Zealand is committed to forging new partnerships and to using innovative approaches to development. There will be close cooperation with Australia and other donors on development in the Pacific in line with our commitments to the Cairns Compact, the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Millennium Development Goals. To ensure equitable sustainable development, New Zealand considers the gender, environmental and human rights implications of all development activities. Themes Four priority themes will guide the New Zealand Aid Programme in stimulating sustainable development:

investing in economic development promoting human development

improving resilience and responding to disaster building safe and secure communities.

Theme one Investing in economic development Economic development is intrinsic to long term sustainable development. The Pacific region faces a range of challenges to economic development associated with geographic isolation, distance to markets, poor infrastructure and in some cases weak governance. In many countries growth in economic activity has barely kept pace with growth in population, leaving an increasingly educated and youthful population with limited opportunities for formal employment. Women have particular challenges in getting access to economic opportunities and resources. Drivers of economic development The New Zealand Aid Programme will support drivers of economic development. It will strengthen links between development activities and the private sector at home and abroad. It will provide business and technical training and mentoring to small and medium enterprises to strengthen business skills. New Zealands support aims to make markets function better and help producers move up the market chain. Efforts will focus on four growth areas:

agriculture creating economic benefits and food security fishing industry generating optimal benefits from fisheries within sustainable limits tourism industry opportunities maximising sustainable returns from promising

trade harnessing potential benefits through improved trade facilitation and market chain development.

Enablers of economic development The New Zealand Aid Programme will work to address challenges and barriers to economic development and support an environment conducive to growth:

trading arrangements support to efforts to engage in international trading arrangements; and support for universal, open, rules-based, predictable trading arrangements business enabling environment support efforts to ensure a supportive macro-economic policy environment, cutting red tape for businesses, strengthening labour and environmental standards, reducing the cost and uncertainty of doing business, and better access to finance through partnerships with commercial banks and organisations infrastructure including safe, reliable and competitive transport services and related infrastructure; renewable energy in order to support energy security by reducing reliance on the importation of diesel and to mitigate climate change.

- CONSULTATION PAPER

Theme two Promoting human development The New Zealand Aid Programme will invest in education and health in order to promote human development and support sustainable economic development:

basic education foundation skills such as literacy, speaking skills (vitally important in societies with an oral tradition, as in the Pacific), numeracy, reasoning and social skills. These outcomes contribute to a range of development goals, including economic growth. In particular, educating girls boosts prosperity and economic productivity and results in healthier, better educated children higher education secondary and tertiary education, technical and vocational training, and merit based scholarships. These are pre-requisites to delivering basic services, developing and maintaining infrastructure, achieving economic growth, attaining and maintaining international competitiveness, achieving and maintaining social cohesion, and delivering transparent and accountable governance health including support for maternal and child health, sexual and reproductive health, and reducing rates of non-communicable diseases. Good health is correlated with higher productivity, better nutrition and housing, lower risk of unemployment and increased assets and savings. Efforts may include improving underlying systemic weaknesses in the health sector. New Zealand also recognises close linkages between improved water quality and sanitation practices and good health.

Theme three Improving resilience and responding to disasters Developing countries are often especially vulnerable to natural disasters. New Zealand plays a particularly important role in disaster preparation and response in the Pacific:

preparing for natural disasters improve countries resilience to disasters and emergencies, particularly in vulnerable small island states in the Pacific climate change invest in climate change adaptation and mitigation particularly in small island states in the Pacific and builds their scientific, policy making and negotiating to participate fully in climate change negotiations humanitarian responses support when disasters and emergencies do occur.

Theme four Building safe and secure communities Violence, crime and conflict can trap communities into a cycle of poverty and have widespread effects on human and economic wellbeing. The New Zealand Aid Programme supports activities and organisations to build safe and secure communities, which requires a comprehensive approach so that a number of different systems and functions are effective:

public sector is efficient in its use of resources, has the capacity to deliver results, and is able to be held to account by its own citizens. civil society organisations can inform people to participate in political processes so that they can express their needs, seek information about decisions being made on their behalf, and hold governments to account.

They can support the development of effective and accountable leadership (particularly for women) in the private, public and parliamentary sectors.

rule of law effective law enforcement agencies, access to effective legal representation, and an independent and professionally competent judiciary. legal systems systems and legislative frameworks which protect the rights of people and property and are effective in resolving conflict. There are particular challenges in addressing family and gender based violence. electoral processes are free and fair.

Our Approach Make aid more effective Effective aid is well-coordinated with other donors, aligned to partner country needs and plans, works through their systems, supports long-term comprehensive initiatives, and pursues measurable results. New Zealand aims to follow the principles set out in the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. Improve efficiency and value for money Value for money for New Zealand and country partners will be evaluated throughout the life of an activity. New Zealand will work with partner country governments to ensure that both aid resources and partners domestic resources are used as effectively as possible. Overheads associated with managing the aid programme will be managed to achieve increased efficiencies while maintaining organisational capability. The aid programme will expand its use of volunteers to support the building of capability. Enhance accountability for results Robust monitoring and evaluation procedures will ensure that the New Zealand Aid Programme is accountable and learns from past experience. Communicating the results of the New Zealand Aid Programme will be strengthened. Mutual accountability between the New Zealand Aid Programme and its partners and third parties will be strengthened. Where appropriate, New Zealand will also work to ensure that our aid resources are reflected in the partner countrys planning and budgeting, so that the government can be held to account by its parliament and citizens. New Zealand will balance managing risk with innovative approaches in its development activities. Lessons learnt will improve development practice and inform future risk assessments and mitigation.

Integrate cross-cutting and thematic issues The environment including climate change, gender, and human rights will be taken into account in the design, implementation and evaluation of aid initiatives. Be responsive and flexible Many partner countries operate in a dynamic changing environment. The New Zealand Aid Programme will maintain flexibility to respond to changes. Ensure consistency of development outcomes and foreign policy The New Zealand Government seeks to have coherent policies in areas such as trade, migration, investment and the environment so they are consistent with international development commitments and goals. It also seeks to pursue whole of government coherence to link political, security, climate change, and development objectives, especially in fragile states. Development cooperation is a core pillar of New Zealands wider foreign and trade policy. The New Zealand Aid Programme will contribute to broader foreign policy objectives by strengthening the security and prosperity of partners while being consistent with New Zealands foreign policy and external relations outcomes. Focus on New Zealands comparative advantage The New Zealand Aid Programme will make use of New Zealands strengths in sectors such as fisheries, agriculture, renewable energy, tourism, education, law and justice, including policing. It will reflect and encourage recognised values such as transparency, accountability, democratic governance, gender equity and the rule of law. Work through partnerships Partnerships are fundamental to the New Zealand Aid Programme. In its development activities New Zealand draws on expertise across government agencies. It works in cooperation with governments in developing countries, governments in donor countries, international and regional organisations, non-government and civil society organisations, the private sector, and multilateral agencies. Targets, monitoring and results The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade will use its Annual Report to monitor and report on progress, including the fit of the New Zealand Aid Programme with the themes and approaches set out in this policy.
