| Comments: | Instead of having final project evaluation, Review and Follow-up Formulation Report has been conducted. We didn't upload it since we were not sure whether we would later this year have a final project evaluation. Now, it is confirmed that this report will be used as the project evaluation. |
| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1. The Project Scope. Refocus the project scope in the next phase to address the following strategic intervention: (1) Sustaining the Peace Dialogue and Broadening Participation in the Process (2) Access to Information (3) Access to Justice (4) Participatory Planning and Sustainable Livelihoods (5) Local Governance Reform |
| 2 | 2. The Project Strategy. The conceptual framework should be grounded in the in-depth analysis of the dynamic of conflict and based on agreement with stakeholders dealing directly with the consequences of the conflict |
| 3 | 3. Balance of the Component of Activities. The second phase of the project should ensure that the balance while activities are driven by a rigorous analysis of the programming context and needs, the ratio of research to implementation is realistic and appropriate and adhered to in the relevant budget disbursal. |
| 4 | 4. Participatory Approach. Any successor project should emphasize the importance of participatory formulation of the project outputs and activities, using an initial draft strategy as a set of hypotheses to be validated with key stakeholder and potential implementing partners and collaborators in the Deep South. |
| 5 | 5. Monitoring. The project should review its monitoring plan to establish realistic end-of-project targets that reflect changes to outputs and related activities, and obtain and report against baseline data for all indicators. Planning for any successor project should ensure baseline data is obtained for all indicators and included in the Results and Resources Framework and reported against on a regular basis in compliance with UNDP project planning, monitoring and evaluation standards. |
