Key Action Update History
Management Response: [Added: 2015/02/10]
The collection of field results and achieved improvements is important, but this was not specific activity component of the projects. Moreover, the projects were supposed to be supported by an in-parallel project ?Strengthening Food and Agriculture Information System (FAIS)? for information and data collection in the target farms. Delay in implementation of the FAIS project and eventual premature closure of the FAIS project disabled such activities. In addition, the Evaluation Report was finally completed in August 2014 by incorporating comments from all relevant parties. As the projects were to be closed by the end of October 2014, there was not sufficient time for the executing agency, FAO, and local stakeholders to adapt the project progress as recommended. However, the recommendation will be considered in future project planning.

Re-allocating some of the remaining budgetary resources from FAIS project to temporary external project support by a qualified expert could be one of the best options. However, as the Evaluation Report was finally completed and submitted in August 2014, and given the other projects were to be closed in October 2014, there was not practicality to reallocate the fund leftover from FAIS project to other projects.

Management Response: [Added: 2015/02/10]
Recommendation is well noted, but in practice, given the limited project duration after the Evaluation Report was shared with the government in September 2014, while the projects were to be closed in October 2014, there was no time to proceed with updating sustainability strategy. However, the recommendation will be considered in future project planning.

Further seed quality improvements to fully reach international quality standards, especially, including the testing of high-cold-tolerant winter wheat varieties and introduction of short duration, photo insensitive and cold tolerant hybrid varieties of maize will help revitalize the country´s double cropping programme for food security. The recommendation therefore will be considered in future project planning.

While giving priority to ?Direct Execution (DEX)? modality which UNDP maintains in the specific situation of DPRK, an approach towards ?Agency Execution? by other UN agencies, especially in the areas of their strength, will be positively considered in future planning, and relevant decision will be made through discussion with potential stakeholders

The issue of reporting line within the executing agency is an internal issue of the agency. However, UNDP may consider the recommendation in case potential future project is implemented in ?Agency Execution? modality in DPRK.
