A12 (Recommendation on increasing sustainability)

Given that the project experienced a major delay during the first half of its implementation, the upcoming implementation period should be focused on sustainability. The project team is encouraged to develop a timely and pragmatic exit strategy along with a financial sustainability plan in a participatory manner with key stakeholders involved in the project as well as close coordination with the donors to the project. It should be outlining issues, ways and means to smoothly phase-out and hand over interventions to partners, to ensure sustainability and continuity. The following recommendations should be considered in the upcoming period and could also be included in the exit strategy

Develop a comprehensive approach on how to ensure the sustainability of the developed policy and legislative framework. Ensure that key stakeholders such as the NEA and MEPA are supported in increasing their capacity to implement its mandate. This will require training of staff and eventually establishing a ToT approach to increase the sustainability of the Project’s impact.
Develop a step-by-step approach ensuring a smooth transition from UNDP-driven to nationally driven approach to CCA/DRR. This approach should focus on increasing the sustainability of existing technical work being done by national and international experts linking them with the budgets of the relevant institutions and communicating the new approach to institutions.
