|
| Findings | |
| 1. | From the mid term evaluation findings, it has shown that Project has accomplished many achievements and is progresivelly maintaining efforts to meet the target results. It estimates current progress of each project's outcomes are as follow:
|
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | UNDP-CO should adjust the project budget in order to reduce the IN-KIND contributions to more realistic levels. |
| 2 | The MoEF should consider initiating actions to implement key recommendations made by the WCS that have not yet been acted upon (see Annex IX). |
| 3 | BAPPENAS should accelerate the process of completing Outcome 2 and consider other models that might ensure a predictable, reliable, constant and sufficient flow of funds to ensure the future sustainability of the PAs (such as the one proposed by the MTR Team). |
| 4 | The MoEF should allow PMU/FCU staff to work directly with the communities when PA staff is not available to accompany them. |
| 5 | The UNDP-CO should consider making a detailed financial analysis to determine if there will be surplus funds available at the end of the project. |
| 6 | If so, the MTR believes they should be used to finance the WCS’ proposal for additional complementary activities which the MTR Team fully endorses, as per the proposal enclosed below (see Annex X). |
| 7 | The GEF and UNDP-CO should consider using any additional surplus funds that might be identified after a financial analysis, to reinforce the Micro-grants fund. |
| 8 | The UNDP-CO and the MoEF should ensure that at least 50% of all the funding disbursed by the Micro-grants Fund go towards financing initiatives of women’s community groups. |
| 9 | MTR recommends “no additional cost” extension of one year, in order to allow the project to complete its three outcomes. |
