Discussion Questions

Discussion Questions

  • What does the Paris Declaration mean in light of international development goals, such as the Millennium Development Goals?

  • How is the role of an international NGO different from a national NGO in implementing the Paris Declaration?

  • There are many types of NGOs—service delivery, education, advocacy, monitoring, and evaluation, to mention a few. How do these different types of NGOs contribute to the Paris Declaration?

  • How does the principle of country ownership correspond to and challenge donor priorities for technical assistance? What happens when a donor’s priorities are not in line with the governments?

  • How does an NGO reconcile donors’ multiple perspectives toward the Paris Declaration—from explicit support to tacit agreement, to a strong donor-driven agenda that does not take local consideration into account?

  • How does an NGO measure success related to the Paris Declaration when its own measures of success are based on specific indicators and targets?
