IndicatorName: PDI-12 Existence of a mutual accountability review (rating)

Longdefinition:
The concept of mutual accountability is an important innovation of the Paris Declaration.  It develops the idea that aid is more effective when both donors and partner governments are accountable to their respective publics for the use of resources to achieve development results, and when they are also accountable to each other. The specific focus of the agreed indicator (Indicator 12) is on mutual accountability for the implementation of the Partnership Commitments included in the Declaration and any local agreements on enhancing aid effectiveness. Specifically, the country survey returns tell us whether there exists a mechanism for mutual review of progress on aid
effectiveness commitments.  Indicators 3 to 12 (but not Indictor 8) are drawn  from the Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration for each respective year.
Definition of categories: 1 means "YES" and 2 means "NO".

IndicatorName: PDI-6 Project implementation units parallel to country structures (number)

Longdefinition:
Indicator 6 is a count of parallel project implementation units (PIUs), where
 “parallel” refers to having been created outside existing country institutional structures. The survey guidance makes a distinction between PIUs and executing agencies and gives three typical features of parallel PIUs: (a) They are accountable to the external funding agencies rather than to the country implementing agencies (ministries, departments, agencies, etc.). (b) Most of the professional staff are appointed by the donor. (c) The salary of PIU personnel often exceeds that of civil-service personnel.
Interpretation of the survey question on this subject was controversial in a number of countries. It is not clear that within countries all donors applied the same criteria with the same degree of rigour, or that across countries the same standards were used. In a number of cases, the descriptive part of the survey return indicates that some donors applied a legalistic criterion of
accountability to the formal executing agency, whereas the National Co-ordinator or other donors would have preferred a greater recognition of the substantive reality of accountability to the donor. It seems possible that some respondents allowed themselves to confuse the definitional question (is the unit “parallel”?) with the aid management question (is the parallelism justified
in terms of the developmental benefits and costs?). Indicators 3 to 12 (but not Indictor 8) are drawn  from the Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration for each respective year.

IndicatorName: Expected years of schooling

Longdefinition: Expected years of schooling is the number of years a child of school entrance age is expect to spend at school, or university, including years spent on repetition. It is the sum of the age-specific enrolment ratios for primary, secondary, post-secondary non-tertiary and tertiary education.

name: School life expectancy, primary to tertiary, both sexes (years)

value: Education Statistics

sourceNote: Number of years a person of school entrance age can expect to spend within the specified level of education. For a child of a certain age a, the school life expectancy is calculated as the sum of the age specific enrolment rates for the levels of education specified. The part of the enrolment that is not distributed by age is divided by the school-age population for the level of education they are enrolled in, and multiplied by the duration of that level of education. The result is then added to the sum of the age-specific enrolment rates. A relatively high SLE indicates greater probability for children to spend more years in education and higher overall retention within the education system. It must be noted that the expected number of years does not necessarily coincide with the expected number of grades of education completed, because of repetition. Since school life expectancy is an average based on participation in different levels of education, the expected number of years of schooling may be pulled down by the magnitude of children who never go to school. Those children who are in school may benefit from many more years of education than the average.

IndicatorName: HIV positive pregnant women receiving antiretrovirals, using WHO/UNAIDS methodology (%; high estimate)

Longdefinition: Percentage of HIV-infected pregnant women who received antiretrovirals to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission.  Numerator: Number of HIV-infected pregnant women who received antiretrovirals during the last 12 months to reduce mother-to-child transmission.  Denominator: Estimated number of HIV-infected pregnant women in the last 12 months.  Ranges are presented for countries with low and concentrated epidemics.  The purpose of this indicator is to assess progress in preventing vertical transmission of HIV.  All data reflect values representing 12 month period ending December 2007 which have been reconciled between reporting country and UNAIDS/WHO/UNICEF, unless otherwise noted.  All analysis of this indicator, including quoted country figures, reflect numerators which have gone through a tri agency reconciliation (UNAIDS/WHO/UNICEF) process and denominators which have been estimated directly from the UNAIDS/WHO Reference group on Estimates, Modelling and Projections methodology (Spectrum).  The reconciliation process ensured all agencies reported the same country endorsed figure which was the most recent and met the definition of HIV-infected women receiving antiretroviral drugs over the last 12 months, and thus reflect a full year. Every effort was made in cases of discrepancy across the three agencies to obtain approval from the country on a final indicator value.
