It is commendable that Government proceeds with its plans to carry out a follow-up intervention.

1. Development of a comprehensive risk register to include other risks found in VCAP, for instance political influence and changing stakeholder priorities and needs
2. Robust capacity building programs in project management and accounting, especially during initial phase is needed
3. Clear standard operating procedures outlining core functions of project governance structures
4. Project implementation officially starts by signature of the ProDoc. However, the actual project implementation always starts effectively with a delay typically of several months. This inaugural period of several months should be reflected and taken into account in project design
5. Project indicators and targets must be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant/realistic and Trackable/time-bound. If they are not, they create an administrative burden. Avoid vague indicators and indicators that are not measurable within the project implementation period and unrealistic targets
6. Promote integrated approach in multi-sector project such as VCAP (Disaster risks management, upland management, marine resource management, climate proofing of infrastructure, water access, food security and community governance and policy development/realignment)
