Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) Key Conclusions
• Overall positive and productive presence in the country,
- Relevant but overly ambitious country strategies
- At times poor program design and implementation
- Challenging country context – post-conflict
- Country dialogue weak due to frequent staff changes and lack of resources
• Need to diversify strategy, move away from “business as usual”
- Two-pronged approach
- Poverty reduction driven by remittances and migration
- Limited resources for program management
CPE Main recommendationsTo be used in Agreement at Completion Point (ACP) .
I. Strategic Partnership
- Paradigm shift: two-pronged approach, combining “basic needs” approach with high-value agriculture development focusing on developing profitable rural enterprises rather than aid-dependent groups
- Avoid geographic dilution, concentrate on fewer districts, and on road corridors for high value agriculture
- Factor in the conflict dimension in IFAD strategies and programmes
CPE Main recommendations (cont.)
II. Policy Dialogue
- Strengthen the link between policy dialogue and portfolio – include policy work in project budgets
- Agree with Government on joint policy dialogue agenda
- Improve cooperation with local and international partners through a better-targeted grant programme
CPE Main recommendations
III Operations and Program Management:
- Local context and implementation support: need more resources in fragile state context. Possible sources: grants, project financing.
- Class and caste-based interventions: Consider forming groups based on economic criteria, while making sure disadvantaged groups are included.
- Improve measuring and communicating impact of IFAD-supported operations.
- Align COSOP and PBA cycle management to avoid “last moment utilisation” of the PBA.
