- Development co-operation context
- A new development co-operation policy provides a basis for continuity with a clear focus on strengths
- A fit-for-purpose system: Building on ambitious reforms
- The Netherlands has made much progress towards a better focused portfolio, but challenges remain
- Greater flexibility in the thematic approach will be essential to ensure bilateral co-operation can be locally led and adaptive to fragile contexts
- Strategic workforce planning is beginning to yield results, but will require continued attention
- A strong learning culture provides an excellent basis for even greater focus on sustainable impact
- Risk management systems need to build on strong foundations and evolve for engagement in challenging contexts
- Working in fragile contexts: An example in strategic patience and flexible, long-term engagement
- A strong focus on engagement in fragile countries is supported by clear working methods and a long-term perspective
- Efforts to balance accountability and legitimacy concerns provide a strong basis for continued Dutch engagement and enhanced dialogue in fragile countries
- Promoting development approaches to forced displacement would benefit from more contextualised and mainstreamed responses
- Locally led development: Addressing structural barriers needed to meet high ambitions.
- Recent focus on locally led development has resulted in a number of initiatives, but clarity on definition and operationalisation is needed
- The Netherlands can build on its reform agenda to incorporate locally led development into its ways of working
- Relationships with civil society and government partners will need to evolve further to fully integrate locally led development
- Mainstreaming locally led development in multilateral and private sector support would accelerate progress
- Policy coherence: A strong basis for further progress
- Mobilising support for tackling significant negative spillovers from trade and consumption will require strong political effort
- Strong policy coherence mechanisms could further benefit from a deeper engagement of line ministries
- The comprehensive trade, aid and climate finance toolbox could achieve greater impact
