V. Implementation

91. Two core activities fall within the ambit of the policy: (i) the conduct, review and accreditation of country performance ratings and (ii) the allocation of ADF resources to country programs and other uses. Proposed implementation arrangements seek to strengthen ownership, transparency and accountability and deepen client engagement. They also seek to address operational constraints but in a way that does not jeopardize underlying performance principles. A key proposal is to establish a PBA Focal Point that will have the authority, independence and resources to ensure effective implementation of the policy.
