The Process and Internal Causes of the Decline of the Development Effectiveness Agenda
Since the 21st century,due to the fatigue of traditional international development assistance and the rise of South-South cooperation,the recognition and authority of official development assistance from de-veloped countries have declined.In order to enhance the legitimacy of their development aid,developed coun-tries have begun to reform the international development governance system within their dominant frameworks.At the Busan Conference in 2011,developed countries promoted the agenda on"Development Effectiveness"and subsequently created the Global Partnership for Development Co-operation(GPEDC).This agenda con-tinues some of the norms of Aid Effectiveness and aims to absorb emerging donors and non-state actors and co-ordinate the South-South cooperation paradigm.In order to adapt to the changing needs of stakeholders,the GPEDC launched the Effectiveness Monitoring Framework 3.0 at the 2022 Geneva Summit.However,due to the disputes between traditional donors and emerging countries over political identity and division of responsi-bilities,the concept of Development Effectiveness has suffered a major setback in the process of advance-ment.On the one hand,traditional donors ignored the essential differences between South-South cooperation and North-South aid,and put forward overly high monitoring standards for emerging donors,resulting in e-merging countries withdrawing from the GPEDC.On the other hand,in the process of adjusting policies to the norm of development effectiveness,traditional donors have deviated from their original commitments on aid effectiveness,lowered aid standards,and attempted to downplay their own responsibilities.The funda-mental reason for these challenges lies in the structural defects of the GPEDC.First,traditional donors have not truly achieved decentralization with emerging donors.Second,the interests and visions of the GPEDC participants are various,making it difficult to achieve effective cooperation.
