Abstract
This is a post conference summary of the
Partnership for Development Knowledge Conference held in
Yemen from March 4-6, 2014. The report summarizes the
discussions that took place during various conference
sessions and also some of the outcomes and agreements
reached. Following a rich and open dialogue, important
outcomes of the conference included a set of recommendations
jointly formulated by the government technical teams and
Civil Society Organization(s), or CSO representatives. They
also agreed on a series of future actions, including the
following: build on working group outcomes and discussions
with the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation
to determine the 3-4 priority sectors in which more
sector-specific dialogue needs to take place. Preparations
and groundwork for sector-specific dialogue, building on the
conference outcomes, will continue via technical discussions
with relevant Sector Ministries. A possible knowledge visit
to India by a small government technical team will be
explored, with a focus on issues of social accountability.
Sector dialogue sessions will be implemented after Ramadan
2014 and will focus on sectors that were recommended by the
working groups. Dialogue sessions will support the
development of sector-specific action plans that identify
concrete opportunities for partnership between specific
ministries and CSOs operating within the sector. In
conclusion, the conference provided an ideal background to
prepare for the sector-level dialogue sessions. These
sessions will be facilitated under the next phase of the
World Bank funded Government-CSOs Partnership Project.
