In most budget supports and in most countriesthe policy dialogue is about looking atthe implementation of public policies,and the results and seeing whetherthese results are actually being producedand whether they correspond to what was expected,and having a conversation aboutwhat activities, what inputs are being usedto produce basic public servicesthat we're supporting with budget support,if they're not delivered,trying to find different alternative waysto approach policy implementation ordifferent setups for the institutional framework,or the organisational framework.So, we're really looking at trying to accompanythe government in its design, and in its implementationof its public policy.The second main objective of the policy dialoguein the context of budget support is thatit opens the door to putting on the table,some topics of conversation with the government,which might actually be quite sensitiveand might be quite difficult,and I'm thinking about things like fundamental values.I would measure effectiveness by, howyou manage to, through your policy dialogue,how you manage to influence the differentparties around the table to talk together,and discuss issues.I think, that is one of the very importantmatters that has come to lights,during the training in The Gambia.In some countries, of course, budget supportpolicy dialogue is not going so well.Simply, because, I mean there are many reasons,but it might be because the government isnot really interested in hearing whatthe EU has to say. Or culturally, it's difficultfor the government and stakeholders to acceptthat a donor sits around the table, discussingpublic policy.Identifying, formulating, designing a budgetsupport and then implementation,at all these different stages policy dialogueis absolutely key.One of the aims of policydialogue is to bring new evidence, how we needto have a lot of information about topicsthat we're talking aboutin order to bring value added to this conversationwith the government and the stakeholders.The government of The Gambia had a specificproblem, which was the disbursement dossier.And the training workshop helped the governmentin preparing a sort of generic report,stating exactly who is in charge of what in termsof monitoring and reporting.So, at the end of the training,we came home and polished a little bit the document,and sent it back to them.And this has now, hopefully, become a document,which tells the government of The Gambiato get the ball rolling, and deliverthe disbursement dossier to the EU.
