Agree on practical coordination mechanisms between international actors: This can happen even in the absence of strong government leadership.

Where possible, it is important to work together on: upstream analysis; joint assessments; shared strategies; and coordination of political engagement.

Practical initiatives can take the form of joint donor offices, an agreed division of labour among donors, delegated co-operation arrangements, multi-donor trust funds and common reporting and financial requirements.

Wherever possible, international actors should work jointly with national reformers in government and civil society to develop a shared analysis of challenges and priorities.

In the case of countries in transition from conflict or international disengagement, the use of simple integrated planning tools, such as the transitional results matrix, can help set and monitor realistic priorities.
