| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Recommendation 1: Representatives (local residents) from each island be added to the PMU as officers, with the role of keeping local stakeholders up to date with TCAP’s plans and progress, managing expectations of local stakeholders and facilitating the implementation of project activities on the islands |
| 2 | Recommendation 2: Review the best practices and lessons learned under the Global Environment Facility (GEF) National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) 1 and 2 projects, which had island officers that performed similar roles to inform similar positions under TCAP. However, the IE team does understand that once construction begins under Output 2, there will be dedicated monitoring officers on the islands. These individuals could also take on the role recommended by the IE team above |
| 3 | Recommendation 3: Consideration is made to either add relevant staff gender and safeguards officers to the PMU, and/or build the capacity of current PMU staff to fulfil gender and safeguards roles. |
| 4 | Recommendation 4: Clarify PMU reporting lines between Funafuti and Suva and ensure that the entire team is reporting to one individual (NPM) who then reports to the higher up structures |
| 5 | Recommendation 5: The PMU may need to meet with relevant staff from the UNDP Pacific Office in Suva, as well as the UNDP RTA, to flesh out issues in reporting lines and communication within the PMU and identify workable solutions which are agreed upon. It may be necessary that the operations CTA plays a key role in developing a model for this. |
| 6 | Recommendation 6: The IE team recommends that more time is spent managing the expectations of local communities and providing them with more frequent updates on project progress and planning, which can include more information shared regarding the crucial detailed design and safeguards assessments that have been ongoing, this can be done through:
Reviewing and revising the stakeholder engagement plan, highlighting the role of island community facilitators in engaging with island stakeholders, to ensure that their needs and concerns are prioritized by TCAP. |
| 7 | Recommendation 7: Fast track the acquirement of project cash on hand (PCH)/cash advances for the PMU in Tuvalu to ensure that there are no delays for the procurement of urgent items or services, such as office stationery and transport to the outer islands of Nanumaga and Nanumea.
In addition to the above, a more permanent solution to the project’s procurement delays needs to be identified and implemented. This could be in the form of providing more procurement support to the PMU through providing training to the project’s procurement officer (based in Suva), assessing his/her performance under the project and taking the necessary corrective measures, or bringing in an additional staff member on an ad hoc basis to reduce procurement delays. |
| 8 | Recommendation 8: Sustainability strategies should be developed for each of the project’s outputs. These may be in the form of “live” documents which are reviewed and updated annually to account for in changes in implementation or sustainability developments. |
| 9 | Recommendation 9: The design of a project (or projects) to follow TCAP should be considered under its exit strategy. Reports, studies, designs of interventions, best practices and lessons learned from TCAP should be shared with GoT and development partners working both in Tuvalu, and across the Pacific region to ensure that knowledge sharing through the project promotes sustainability, as well as replication and upscaling. |
| 10 | Recommendation 10: Champions who can promote the sustainability of project outcomes need to be identified through a participatory process, including champions at the community level that represent vulnerable groups (such as women and youth). |
| 11 | Recommendation 11: The IE team recommends that should the COVID-19-related travel restrictions in Tuvalu not be lifted in 2021 or significant progress be made on the delivery of Output 3 specifically by the end of 2021, that an extension of 6 months to a year be considered for TCAP |
| 12 | Recommendation 12: The IE team recommends that more detail on key milestones should be added to TCAP’s multiyear activity implementation plan, and that any significant changes should be highlighted and explained in APRs. This would include information on potential and expected delays, and any tolerance that has been added to specific activities as a result |
| 13 | Recommendation 13: The IE team recommends that the ToC diagram is updated to:
include a goal statement for TCAP. |
| 14 | Recommendation 14: The target of Indicator 1 should be revised to make it clearer that the project needs to measure the extent to which the updated ISPs address climate change threats. Furthermore, the mid-term and final project targets for Indicator 4: “Number of students that are supported at higher-level studies (tertiary level or higher) on disciplines related to coastal protection work” imply that all 24 students should obtain a CCA-related position in the country once qualified. However, details at the input level of the logical framework suggest that only six students will obtain a CCA-related position once qualified. Details under Indicator 4 in the logical framework need to be updated to reflect the correct mid-term and final project targets. Where possible, the wording of targets should be revised to improve their links to the gaps presented in the baseline |
| 15 | Recommendation 15: Regarding the coastal protection measures under Output 2, more granular detail should be added to the targets. This includes: i) how the number of beneficiaries is disaggregated across the three islands; ii) more detail on how communities in Funafuti will be protected by the land reclamation interventions, for example, it is recommended that the target mention the area of land that will be reclaimed and what that reclamation will mean in terms of adaptation impact (i.e. reclaiming this land will reduce the impacts of sea level and soil erosion etc.); and iii) how the targeted 3,090 m of protected vulnerable coastlines is split across Nanumea and Nanumaga |
| 16 | Recommendation 16: There have been challenges in meeting several mid-term targets (such as those for Indicators 1, 4, 5 and 8). The targets will need to be reviewed and adjusted to what is more appropriate at mid-term. |
| 17 | Recommendation 17: Achieving a target of 50% of women trained under Output 1 (Indicator 3) — if more than 12 technical officers in total are trained — is likely to be challenging because of gender dynamics in government departments. The IE team recommends that this target is reviewed and adjusted to an achievable percentage |
| 18 | Recommendation 18: For indicators 3, 4 and 7, the Means of Verification (MoV’s) need to be reviewed and revised so that impacts/results can be better measured. For Indicator 3, solely generating reports and sharing results from an assessment on a forum will not demonstrate any improved knowledge and awareness about climate change impacts on different genders. Likewise, for Indicator 4, reports are unlikely to show the true impacts on capacity. The IE team recommends that a capacity scorecard is developed to measure how capacity has increased through the training. For Indicator 7, solely generating a report and sharing results from an assessment on a forum will not demonstrate any improved knowledge and awareness about climate change impacts on different genders. It is consequently recommended that the MoV is revised to make it more results oriented. |
| 19 | Recommendation 19: The project team must assess which of the assumptions are still relevant at this stage of the project and update, remove and/or add assumptions as necessary |
| 20 | Recommendation 20: The IE team recommends that the PMU develop a reporting strategy/approach that allows them to feed information into the relevant reports on a weekly basis, resulting in less time being spent on developing the major project reports just before they are due. Quarterly reports should also be developed, with the findings discussed in the Annual Progress Reports (APRs), which are formally submitted to the GCF each year of project implementation as required by the Accreditation Master Agreement (AMA) and FAA |

6. Recommendation:
Recommendation 6: The IE team recommends that more time is spent managing the expectations of local communities and providing them with more frequent updates on project progress and planning, which can include more information shared regarding the crucial detailed design and safeguards assessments that have been ongoing, this can be done through:
- Employing island community facilitators as part of the PMU on each of the islands (particularly the outer islands of Nanumaga and Nanumea). The facilitators can provide local communities with regular updates and plans on interventions (particularly details on construction works), and readily provide feedback to the PMU in Funafuti, ensuring that any issues are dealt with efficiently. Furthermore, the facilitators can ensure that local communities understand and have access to the project’s grievance redress mechanism (GRM).
Reviewing and revising the stakeholder engagement plan, highlighting the role of island community facilitators in engaging with island stakeholders, to ensure that their needs and concerns are prioritized by TCAP.

16. Recommendation:
Recommendation 16: There have been challenges in meeting several mid-term targets (such as those for Indicators 1, 4, 5 and 8). The targets will need to be reviewed and adjusted to what is more appropriate at mid-term.
Management Response: [Added: 2021/07/07]
Disagree, because mid-term targets cannot be changed retrospectively. No action required because mid-term has passed.
Key Actions:
17. Recommendation:
Recommendation 17: Achieving a target of 50% of women trained under Output 1 (Indicator 3) — if more than 12 technical officers in total are trained — is likely to be challenging because of gender dynamics in government departments. The IE team recommends that this target is reviewed and adjusted to an achievable percentage
Management Response: [Added: 2021/07/07]
Disagree as targets cannot be downgraded without triggering a major change. The Project will try to achieve as close to the targets as possible.
Key Actions:
18. Recommendation:
Recommendation 18: For indicators 3, 4 and 7, the Means of Verification (MoV’s) need to be reviewed and revised so that impacts/results can be better measured. For Indicator 3, solely generating reports and sharing results from an assessment on a forum will not demonstrate any improved knowledge and awareness about climate change impacts on different genders. Likewise, for Indicator 4, reports are unlikely to show the true impacts on capacity. The IE team recommends that a capacity scorecard is developed to measure how capacity has increased through the training. For Indicator 7, solely generating a report and sharing results from an assessment on a forum will not demonstrate any improved knowledge and awareness about climate change impacts on different genders. It is consequently recommended that the MoV is revised to make it more results oriented.

20. Recommendation:
Recommendation 20: The IE team recommends that the PMU develop a reporting strategy/approach that allows them to feed information into the relevant reports on a weekly basis, resulting in less time being spent on developing the major project reports just before they are due. Quarterly reports should also be developed, with the findings discussed in the Annual Progress Reports (APRs), which are formally submitted to the GCF each year of project implementation as required by the Accreditation Master Agreement (AMA) and FAA
