| Findings | |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | While formulating the new CPD, develop an overarching framework which links growing poverty and vulnerability in the country with the degradation of the environment and climate change factors |
| 2 | Undertake a participatory review of the capacity building strategy followed so far and identify success factors (driving forces) and inhibiting factors |
| 3 | To promote a learning culture internally within the country team, continuous reinforcement of self-reflection and analysis of outputs and processes, rather than an exclusive focus on activities and project administration, will be necessary |
| 4 | UNDP needs to deepen its understanding of vulnerability and poverty and ensure that targeting and selection of its programme cohorts differentiates on the basis of levels of vulnerability based on gender, disability and socio-economic status |
| 5 | While communication around project administration is important, staff who constitute the interface with the IPs and government counterparts need to have the skills to facilitate dialogue and knowledge management |
| 6 | While better use of TOC (R1 and R3 above) by programme staff on a day-to-day basis will strengthen quality of evidence and programme implementation, a M&E system that enables the process and aids in reporting on key output and outcome indicators will need to be put in place |
| 7 | Undertake a review of the chain of procurement and funds disbursement procedures involving UNDP at one end and the provincial authorities at the point of delivery on the other, and identify opportunities for simplification, where feasible |
