1. Recommendation:
Maximize relevance of the stabilization programme intervention.
Management Response: [Added: 2021/07/14]
To maximise relevance and to ensure that C2SP is responsive to the actual needs and opportunities, and to ensure it supports national and international policies and frameworks, several steps could be taken:
Key Actions:
| Key Action | Responsible | DueDate | Status | Comments | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3 Invest in real economic opportunity mapping and choose, with CMCs, local government, and the local private sector, two value chains per location with highest potential, and link all livelihood and infrastructure investments to these.

| 1.5. Ensure participation of CAAFAG and XCs (without giving them a privileged position). In order to understand the reintegration effects on XCs, their progress needs to be monitored as one of the target groups, so that C2SP can remain to be an alternative to the R of DDR

2. Recommendation:
Maximise efficiency to achieve stabilization results.
Management Response: [Added: 2021/07/14]
In order to maximise efficiency and to ensure that resources are efficiently used to achieve C2SP results, outcomes and outputs in an economic and timely way, several steps could be taken.
Key Actions:
| Key Action | Responsible | DueDate | Status | Comments | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 Tap into community assets, the private sector and the government to ensure that the cost is not only assumed by C2SP contributions but used as a catalyser.
[Added: 2021/07/14] [Last Updated: 2022/07/03] |
Peace Building and Stabilization Portfolio | 2022/06 | Completed | Integrated into State Development Plan and coordinated with private sectors where possible History | |
| 2.2 Conduct baselines at the community level. The current M&E framework does not include many baselines values which makes measuring attribution impossible.
[Added: 2021/07/14] [Last Updated: 2022/07/03] |
Peace Building and Stabilization Portfolio. | 2022/06 | Completed | Socioeconomic baseline data were collected through needs assessment History | |
| 2.4. Involve the private sector more systematically from the beginning.
[Added: 2021/07/14] [Last Updated: 2022/04/12] |
Peace Building and Stabilization Portfolio | 2022/03 | Completed | Private sector mapping completed in different states to know who does what and where. Based on that, UNDP managed to engage with one new private company (Bala Bushra Commercial enterprises) in establishment of value chain for cotton and sorghum in White Nile state. UNDP will continue to explore areas of common interest with private sector partners. History | |
| 2.5. Strengthen PI strategies and tools, to circulate success stories, raise awareness and spread the positive impact of C2SP from the ground up.

3. Recommendation:
Maximize effectiveness of the stabilization interventions.
Management Response: [Added: 2021/07/14]
In order to maximize effectiveness of the C2SP interventions, several steps could be taken.
Key Actions:
| Key Action | Responsible | DueDate | Status | Comments | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.1 Revisit the results framework and formulate and monitor more outcome and less output related targets and indicators, which will allow for measuring change and reducing risks of steering at activity and output levels in community-led prioritization.
[Added: 2021/07/14] [Last Updated: 2022/04/12] |
Peace Building and Stabilization Portfolio, M&E Team. | 2022/12 | Initiated | Integrated Community Stabilization Programme (ICSP) initiated and aims to achieve more outcome-level results. History | |
| 3.2 Apply more flexibility for new and innovative ideas, especially with youth in the communities and the private sector. For each location develop a small sub-TOC with indicators that can be monitored by local monitors, namely non-CMC youth from the community: (Ensure more youth as beneficiaries and in CMCs, which will increase the stabilisation benefits, Ensure explicitly that CAAFAG (from 15 years old) and XCs are all within the target group of beneficiaries and are represented in the CMCs, to ensure that the objective of reintegration remains, to maximise stabilisation effect, and the link to SDDRC is justified).

| 4.2. Explore the potential roles of the CMCs in supporting Sudan in transition. CMCs have the building blocks for effective decentralised local, community-led governance. CMCs proved to have the ability to navigate the political volatility over the political turmoil and continued to serve the needs of their communities. This constitutes an opportunity to build on these structures to further support the ongoing development of dialogue and accountability.
