Annex II
CRITERIA FOR PERIODIC EVALUATION OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT
PARTNERSHIPS FROM A RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE
(as revised by the task force at its fourth session)a
To facilitate their application, the criteria remain organized in three groups related to
development partnerships: structure and institutional framework, process and outcome.
Structure/institutional frameworkb
The extent to which a partnership:
(a)
Contributes to creating an enabling environment for sustainable development and the
realization of all human rights;c
(b)
Draws on all relevant international human rights instruments, including those relating
to the right to development, in elaborating the content of development strategies and
tools for monitoring and evaluating their implementation;d
(c)
Promotes good governance, democracy and the rule of law and effective
anti-corruption measures at the national and international levels;e
a
The revision is in response to the request of the Working Group that the task force review the
criteria and enhance their effectiveness as a practical tool for evaluating global partnerships, and
that it “progressively develop and further refine the criteria, based on actual practice”
(A/HRC/4/47, paras. 51 and 55). This version maintains essentially the same content, while
reordering, clarifying and developing some of them slightly based on lessons learned from
applying the criteria so far. It represents an intermediary stage for use in phase II of its
work (2008) and anticipates a more significant refinement of the criteria to be carried out in
phase III (2009).
b
For conceptual clarity, “enabling environment” has been replaced by “institutional
framework”.
c
Former criterion (a).
d
Former criterion (b) and see revised criterion (n) for new wording that reflects “and the extent
to which partner countries receive support from international donors and other development
actors for these efforts”.
e
Former criterion (c).
