| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | PBILD is on the verge of the Best Practice Case ? it should be continued, with the same concept (based predominately on soft actions), as a single project |
| 2 | Having in mind economic crisis and economic and political sensitivity of Southern Serbia region, new intervention should be developed in the shortest possible time as replication and upscaling of models already developed under PBILD, and may incorporate some new actions based on good practices and good governance principles. |
| 3 | Capacities of LSG are now developed to the level that enables them to be included in programming, planning and development of future intervention, at least at the level they have been involved in the implementation |
| 4 | PBILD represents successful model-platform for complex multi-donor/multi- agencies/multi-beneficiary intervention, and its application should be further promoted. |
| 5 | For the new stage of PBILD, implementation structure should be improved with introduction of new decision making levels and horizontal synergies at all levels should be strengthened. |
| 6 | Investment in new M&E system is strongly recommended. M&E system should be capable to follow and prove achievements to the level of the impact (more normative indicators on both outcomes and impact levels, system of continuous following and adjustments of reporting formats). |
1. Recommendation: PBILD is on the verge of the Best Practice Case ? it should be continued, with the same concept (based predominately on soft actions), as a single project
Management Response: [Added: 2013/09/03] [Last Updated: 2013/10/02]
Since the process of writing the second phase of the PBILD programme was already initiated, this recommendation was used to narrow down activities and keep the second phase focused on the soft activities/actions. At the same time all relevant stakeholders have been familiarized with programme`s objectives and activities, in order to build political support for and ownership of the planned programme results

More efforts will be invested in the new M&E system once the PBILD2 starts. The inception phase will be used to establish M&E system which will be able to follow and prove achievements to the level of the impact. The programme will make sure that the M&E system is linked and supports the reporting formats
