1. Objectives of paper
2. Approaches to integrated policy making
2. Approaches to integrated policy making
Identified 4 different approaches
1. PCD tradition: Policy coherence for development• Other policies should not undermine core policy / Unidirectional
2. Issue-based mainstreaming• Integrate specific concern in core policy / Unidirectional
3. Multi-sector approaches: nexus approach – SDGs have similar approach• Address concerns of several sectors simultaneously / Multi-directional
4. Collective Responsibility: cabinet responsibility, whole-of-government• Unified strategy to which all ministers adhere / Multi-directional
2. Analysed how they worked against 8 criteria
• Rationale• Problem Definition• Goal• Direction of coherence
• Mechanisms• Legal and policy statements• Coherence promoting system• Implementing Authority
• Impact• Monitoring and evaluation• Constraints and challenges
PCD tradition was well developed with more tools than others; system idea important; some similar tools were used in different approaches
3. Creating a PCSD system
3. Creating a PCSD system
• Analysis of what tools might be useful for PCSD• Table with Summary of lessons for PCSD – using same 8 criteria
Some examples• Coherence promotion system
• PCD ‘champions’ or ‘policy entrepreneurs’ has worked well could extend this to PCSD: Multiple champions working as a group
• Focus on a limited number of issues - lesson from Nexus + PCD• Implementing Authority
• All approaches: need for clear authority at appropriate level for leadership, to encourage synergies and adjudicate on trade-offs
• Monitoring and evaluation• Lessons from PCD useful: impact assessments, peer reviews, PCD
Reports, dialogues with different actors and independent scrutiny
4. Recommendations
4. Recommendations
• Both PCD and PCSD matter
• Delegate PCSD to sectoral advocates – multiple sector champions
• Make PCSD your own – importance of political commitment, pay attention to political economy for different actors and to incentives
• Build a PCSD System with interdependent parts• Framework – legal / policy statements – clear locus of authority• Mechanisms – group of champions, consultations systems, etc.• Knowledge systems – analysis, monitoring• Accountability – peer review, reporting, independent scrutiny
• Communicate on the added value of PCSD – principle needs support
