| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Develop exit strategies with MDAs to prepare for the departure of existing experts. This should include urgent identification of counterparts to work closely with the experts on knowledge and skills transfer for the remainder of the project. Disincentives to counterpart and supervisor collaboration must be recognised and addressed. |
| 2 | Create and populate a database on project experts, other applicants and diaspora networks and institutions globally for the benefit of future diaspora interventions. |
| 3 | Document significant impacts which have occurred in MDAs. This information needs to be catalogued more systematically to look at the relation of the approaches of the 25 individual experts and of the MDA to impacts made, to inform future diaspora interventions. |
1. Recommendation: Develop exit strategies with MDAs to prepare for the departure of existing experts. This should include urgent identification of counterparts to work closely with the experts on knowledge and skills transfer for the remainder of the project. Disincentives to counterpart and supervisor collaboration must be recognised and addressed.

UNDP will follow up with relevant authorities and make constant reminder on the recruitment of the 95 missing middle to fill in relevant positions that would serve as counterparts to the experts. UNDP will also continue to encourage Government to approve the newly developed pay policy for implemention which will serve as incentive to attract better qualified personel in the civil service.
