Exploring Barriers and Opportunities for Deepening Cooperation across DAC and Non-DAC Providers

E XPLORING BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNIT IES FOR DEEPENING COOPER ATION 2 ACROS S DAC AND NON-DAC PROVIDERS primarily on understanding the barriers to cooperation between DAC and non-DAC providers, we primarily use the term cooperation to refer to cross-provider engagement and partnerships.10 This paper is the third in a series that explores the role of non-DAC cooperation providers within a changing de. [...] In addition, the broader decline of the effectiveness norm in DAC countries—particularly throughout the 2010s and alongside the rise of the national interest—can be seen to dilute the level of engagement from both DAC and non- DAC members.59 Despite such challenges, the relatively high prioritisation of the GPEDC as a space for development partnership could suggest an acknowledgment of the importa. [...] 59 For more on the dilution of the DAC norm and limitations of the GPEDC, see Stephen Brown, “The Rise and Fall of the Aid Effectiveness Norm,” The European Journal of Development Research 32 (2020): 1230–1248. [...] The finding that differing principles and visions for cooperation between DAC and non-DAC actors continues to be a key barrier to development partnerships suggests that even as the shifting balance of power in the development landscape has gained increasing recognition, these changing dynamics have yet to fundamentally impact the content of the norms, standards, and practices that guide cooperatio. [...] E XPLORING BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNIT IES FOR DEEPENING COOPER ATION 20 ACROS S DAC AND NON-DAC PROVIDERS Despite pervasive differences and challenges to cooperation, it is useful to remember that the development goals that underlie the actions of DAC and non-DAC providers alike—to support and achieve the SDGs—are fundamentally shared across providers and serve as a basis for partnerships and collabo.
