| Team Leader on Aid and Accountability |

The GOVNET work programme currently focuses on 3 core topics: aid and domestic accountability, including taxation; the fight against corruption, and human rights. The GOVNET work on accountability will address a) the possibility that aid can lead partners from developing country governments to be more accountable to donors than to their domestic stakeholders and b) the need to improve donor support to the capacity development of democratic institutions/systems for greater development effectiveness and poverty reduction.
Additional areas of focus include work on governance assessment and the evaluation of public sector reforms. These topics are underpinned by cross-cutting concerns with relations between the state, citizens, civil society and the private sector. The person selected for this position will lead and deliver GOVNET’s work on political and economic governance aspects of accountability and contribute to the planning and implementation of the GOVNET work programme, in collaboration with the other two Project Managers. The Aid and Accountability Team Leader will report to the Head of the Policy Coordination Division.

2. Planning and organisation of international meetings

- management of external consultants to produce research papers and policy documents, when necessary;

3. External representation, liaison, and communication
• Liaise and work in partnership with the GOVNET Chair and Bureau, informal task teams established for different subject areas and the DAC’s International Network on Conflict and Fragility.
• Represent the Development Co-operation Directorate at relevant international events. Establish and maintain contacts with relevant policy and research institutions both in DAC Member and non-member countries, and with relevant Directorates and associated bodies within the OECD. |
