2. Recommendation: Recommendation 2.
The scope of interventions in Nias Islands should be expanded to enhance local administrative capacity in Public Financial Management
Management Response: [Added: 2012/12/17]
UNDP agrees with this recommendation and shares the view that interventions in the area of public financial management are important. Through various assets-related trainings under NITP, the awareness of local governments in Nias Islands on the importance of sound public financial management capacity has increased. However at this point, there are no specific local-level interventions planned for Nias Islands. It is our hope that the local government will allocate state budget to train their staff on this issue.

| Capacity assessments should be conducted when new projects are started up. When capacity assessments are done for government agencies/departments, practical tools may need to be developed to help the government understand the findings and support will be needed to ensure that plans to develop capacities are duly followed up.
