4 | It is suitable that in the future programme, UNDP includes the establishment of dialogue’s platforms between the different actors involved on the project’s achievement. |
5 | UNDP should strengthen its role as coordinator of international aid and define (in collaboration with other partners) a resources mobilization strategy. |
