Key steps • A draft CPF prepared according to agreed priorities and framework. • A workshop with the participation of national authorities, stakeholders, NGOs and sister UN agencies was organized in Ankara in November 2011. • During this workshop, CPF was extensively discussed and medium-term policy priorities of GoT were determined.
Key steps • Workshop results were inserted in the draft CPF document together with CPF results matrix and send to the workshop participants and other partner institutions to get their final feedback on the document. • All comments taken by stakeholders were reflected in the final CPF document and it was sent to the Ministry of Development on 22 March 2012 to finalize the approval process.
Key steps • During this process the FAO Turkey team has contacted several times with the Ministry of Development which is the main institution approving the CPF document on behalf of government of Turkey.
Strenghts • FAO’s network and reliability • Existence of subregional priorities • Existing plan and documents of GoT • Strategic Planning approach of the government
Challenges • A guide to the formulation of the CPF was missing when the process was initiated. • Unclear or duplicated role and responsibilities of the national counterparts. • Unclear approval process of CPF which leaded to have long finalization process.
Lessons Learned • CPF is a framework document which helps FAO to contribute government priorities. • Without leadership and ownership of national counterpart the process cannot be finalized. • Internal consultation within FAO is necessary. • Communication is essential
