Summary
DBPB: overall impression is that the developed approach proved successful in achieving representative and legitimate district councils, and peaceful coexistence between clan communities in the three regions where the project was implemented. Success was achieved when enough time is given to reconciliation activities prior to district conferences, selection of councillors and election of District Commissioners DC's. Top-down interference has proved negative in this aspect and should be avoided in implementation modalities. CBPS: The main achievement of the CBPS project, so far, is the provision of office structures, facilities, equipment and training to all districts in Bay and Bakool. But it is not participatory enough and sustainability is limited. When the two projects are rolled into the Joint Programme, DBPS needs to clarify objectives and reflect time and budget needs, and develop better M&E systems. Implementation modalities should be flexible and stakeholder groups more inclusive. For CPBS, should be more participatory and involve local communities, have more training for councillors on basic services and have less of a focus on equipment provision.
