Within this, the core focus will be sustainable economic development. The policy also has a focus on supporting the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); close cooperation with other donors, particularly Australia; the pursuit of gender, environment and human rights as cross-cutting issues to ensure good outcomes; strengthened mutual accountability; and efficient and value for money aid practices and approaches the Cairns Compact on development coordination and the Paris Principles of Aid Effectiveness New Zealand and Vanuatu are committed to improving the effectiveness of development assistance and coordination efforts. Vanuatu is responsible for donor coordination and for ensuring a division of labour that makes most effective use of donors resources and expertise. a shared responsibility for the management of financial resources provided under the New Zealand Aid Programme. Profile of Assistance A total aid flow profile for Vanuatu will be updated annually. This will outline all resources under the Vanuatu bilateral allocation, and additional sectoral, multi-
6 6 country, NZ state sector partnerships and non-government organisations (NGOs) funding. The majority of New Zealand s assistance will be through the Vanuatu bilateral allocation in a number of defined sectors outlined in this Commitment in Annex 2. The objective is to improve focus, reduce dispersal and focus on larger, longer term investments. From time to time, New Zealand and Vanuatu may agree a partnership in a sector that will be in addition to the bilateral programme. This is likely to be in one of the sustainable economic development sectors of agriculture, tourism, fisheries, energy, transport or infrastructure which are a core focus for the New Zealand Aid Programme. Initiatives managed by NZ State sector or NZ non-government agencies, or multicountry initiatives, may be funded from time to time that involve Vanuatu. New Zealand will also assist with humanitarian and disaster relief contributions where requested. The understandings between New Zealand and Vanuatu in this Joint Commitment are made with best endeavours in the spirit of partnership and mutual accountability. Monitoring Results New Zealand and Vanuatu will hold annual joint reviews of performance, focusing on achievements, constraints, and the extent to which planned outputs have contributed to results in each priority area described above. There will also be regular Ministerial dialogues to review results and consider any emerging priorities, while being mindful of the need to maintain focus and avoid
7 7 excessive dispersal of the aid programme. Any amendment to focal areas will be mutually determined in writing. A Results Framework will be finalised in the initial stages of the Joint Commitment, which will assist in the annual joint review process.
