| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare an adaptive management plan in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic. |
| 2 | Update the terms of reference for the strategic partners to better define roles and responsibilities. |
| 3 | Include the role of a project coordinator in the budget for each small grant in order to strengthen effectiveness and efficiency of the interventions. T |
| 4 | Bolster the SGP country team. |
| 5 | Targeted technical assistance and advisory support should be considered, including, but not limited to matters associated with the climate change mitigation (CCM) focal area. |
| 6 | Enhance knowledge management and communications to facilitate upscaling and expand awareness of SGP in Kenya. |
| 7 | Arrange cross-learning exchanges among the landscapes-seascapes, integrate capacity development needs and plans into the landscape-seascape strategies, and develop a programme-wide capacity development strategy for SGP in Kenya |
| 8 | Planning grants should be utilized as one of the mechanisms to deliver capacity building to project proponents, particularly those with limited experience in preparing grant proposals and delivering community development interventions. |
| 9 | Reporting is inconsistent among some of the indicators in the project results framework, e.g., Indicator A (increased area with improved community management) and Indicator D (metric tons of CO2e avoided as a result of increased community adoption of energy efficient and renewable energy systems. |
| 10 | Strengthen capacity building and monitoring & evaluation associated with social and environmental safeguards, including those associated with indigenous peoples. |
| 11 | Complete the gender analysis and action plan for the project, and monitor and evaluate progress towards achievement of the gender mainstreaming objective |
| 12 | Develop and implement a sustainability plan, including mainstreaming priority actions included in the landscape-seascape strategies and facilitating implementation of the seventh operational phase (OP7) of the SGP in Kenya |
