What is the role of the Donor Focal Point?
National Coordinators can decide to appoint a donor, or another organisation, to assist and support the National Coordinator in managing the 2008 survey. The role of the Donor Focal Point is to: – Collect survey data from all donors in a timely way. – Consolidate survey data in the Country Spreadsheet. – Make available survey data and relevant information to the National Coordinator for discussion at the various meetings convened by the National Coordinator for the 2008 Survey. – Help the National Coordinator mobilise the financial or human resources that are needed to manage the 2008 Survey in a timely way. In many countries, the Donor Focal Point is typically the lead donor(s) coordinating harmonisation or aid effectiveness initiatives at country level.
