Given the short time frame since its inception and operationalisation, it is not surprising that the JAES has shown some, but limited impact on PCD outcomes to date. The JAES shows mixed progress in effectively putting PCD-relevant aspects into practice. Expectations must be kept realistic given the wider challenges associated with JAES implementation. Some recommendations to promote further PCD can be made. Increased engagement and sense of ownership of all stakeholders would provide more opportunities for PCD promotion. This can be done through intensified dialogue and jointly assessing needs in and between the different partnerships and by inclusion of expertise from development agencies and ministries beyond the development and foreign affairs spheres. Participation of civil society organisations at an early stage would enhance opportunities to raise awareness and provide scope for increased PCD monitoring and reporting systems.
The JAES, once fully developed, embraced by all stakeholders and implemented, will encourage synergies between policies and avoid negative impacts of policies on developing countries. It could serve as a basis for debates about the future of the Cotonou Partnership Agreement and its possible declination into geographic cooperation instruments. Finally, the regular dialogue between all actors involved in the JAES is instrumental for gaining a better understanding of challenges and could feed into the debate on regional and in-country division of labour instruments. Clustering various policy fields might also assist in early detection of possible incoherencies, enabling early change towards a more coherent and consistent approach taking better account of development concerns.
