Meeting of Experts for Enhanced Donor Cooperation

The recent learn4dev Expert Group Leaders Meeting was an opportunity for chairs across different expert groups to exchange information on current learning offerings and relevant resources available among learn4dev members. To further develop learn4dev as a joint learning partnership opportunities for cross expert group work through enhanced donor co-operation were also explored.

Together with the UK Department for International Development (DFID) we are co-chairing the Public Finance Management (PFM) expert group. At the recent Meeting we shared information on PFM expert group latest activities as well as on its future initiatives. The group promotes training courses and publications in the field of PFM, offered by learn4dev’s member organizations. Following a positive experience from last year, the CEF will also in 2015 together with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) organize a joint learning journey on Strengthening Supreme Audit Institutions.

To promote the network’s mission of knowledge sharing and learning for development, we also presented on the occasion the members our recently launched Blog on Learning and Knowledge Sharing - CEF = Knowledge Hub.  learn4dev members were invited to join our effort and as guest bloggers contribute they reflections on topics related to learning and knowledge management in key areas of international development.

The meeting took place on December 4, 2014 in Brussels, Belgium.
