| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | A follow-up project is justified but is feasible only if there is a clear political commitment and ownership from the national implementing partner. |
| 2 | A technical capacity assessment should be done to identify clearly capacity gaps in the concerned ministries. |
| 3 | A national champion needs to be found to articulate the project across the various ministries and institutions. |
| 4 | A financial capacity assessment should be carried out to determine the manner in which NIM projects should be implemented. |
| 5 | UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) needs to develop its own technical capacity to provide support to the national partners. It should review its own human resource base and ensure that PMU (Project Management Unit) staff recruited have both the necessary skills and knowledge and remain committed for the duration of their contract, with a higher profile. |
| 6 | A management information system needs to be developed in the CO along a proper M&E system for project implementation to provide all necessary data to UNDP management and for monitoring and evaluation purposes. |
| 7 | For future projects consider hiring an international CTA to provide the overall guidance, strategic leadership and steering of the project progress and processes. |
| 8 | Project designs need to be much more aligned with the UNDG, UNDP and RBM guidance documents which are compulsory. In particular the formulation of the ToC and the conceptual understanding of “outcomes” need to be aligned with corporate norms and standards. |
| 9 | RF and M&E design need to be grounded on researched targets and indicators must be worded clearly and neutrally. The indicators need to be specified and separated from the indicator statement. The formulation of indicators has to ensure they are SMART and measure one process only. |
| 10 | A clear, targeted and incremental strategy is needed in the project document which is realistically researched taking into consideration the lessons from other UNDP implemented projects in the country. Without a clear strategy the roadmap for success is blurred and the vision is not shared by the different stakeholders. |
