Programme-based approaches have been defined as a way of engaging in development co-operation based on the principle of coordinated support for a locally owned programme of development. A sector-wide approach is a programme-based approach operating at the level of an entire sector. It is a method of working that brings together governments, donors and other stakeholders within any sector. It is characterized by a set of operating principles rather than a specific package of policies or activities. The approach involves: • Government leadership • Developing a single sector policy (ideally a policy that addresses private and public sector issues) and a common realistic expenditure program (budget framework); • Formalized process for donor co-ordination and harmonization of donor procedures for reporting, budgeting, financial management and procurement • Efforts to increase the use of local systems for programme design and implementation, financial management, monitoring and evaluation . A sector-wide approach is an increasingly common approach to development assistance in low-income countries. The sector-wide approach model is seen as an important approach to enhancing aid effectiveness, mostly through improved efficiency that would result from better aid coordination where the focus is put on developing and strengthening sector policies and institutional arrangements.
