| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Recommendation1: The untimely disbursement of funds to the RPs, and delayed procurement.
|
| 2 | Evaluation Recommendation 2 Enhanced tracking of the M&E and travel plans to ensure adherence to the plans, it is recommended that these missions should involve all the RPs and where possible done jointly. |
| 3 | Evaluation Recommendation 3: Enhanced communication of results is the UNDP communications unit and the MoA communication unit should follow come up with a joint strategy to enhance communication of the project results that have been achieved. |
| 4 | Evaluation Recommendation 4: The ET team therefore recommends that the Project Manager is either confirmed or some substantive officer occupies the role to ensure security of tenure.: |
| 5 | Evaluation Recommendation 5: A key shortcoming for this project related to gender equality is about the non- documentation of the best practices and lessons learned for women The ET recommends identifying documenting Women's Empowerment best practices and lessons learned in SCRALA's project and disseminate these among partners and other stakehoIders |
| 6 | Evaluation Recommendation 6: The ET recommends a methodical approach to dissemination of lessons learnt is adopted, outlined and used as feedback tool for district and provincial stakeholders. This should be clearly detailed in the Project M&E Plan |
| 7 | Evaluation Recommendation 7: Revise the Project M&E plan to include Indicator reference Sheet that clearly defines indicators to be monitored and evaluated. |
| 8 | Evaluation Recommendation 8: Non-fully functional Grievance Review Mechanism system; some grievances are not adequately captured and reported with regular updates. Conduct a Needs Assessment of the current GRM System and develop a detailed action plan and budget to fully operationalise the system |
| 9 | Evaluation Recommendation 9: Budget of co-financing is not broken down and it is not easy to track. ET recommends GRZ provides a budget breakdown to facilitate its tracking |
| 10 | Evaluation Recommendation 10: Project didn't support the farmer with honey process equipment. ET recommends project to provide farmers with honey process equipment to add value to the harvested honey. |
