  1. E4L PROGRAMME PLATFORMS Programme Coordination Committee (PCC) by S. O. SAAKA October 22, 2012

  2. Composition and meetings of the PCC Composition: • E4L Programme Coordinator, PACO, IA and Management Heads of Implementing Units. The Assistant Programme Coordinator serves as Secretary to the PCC Meetings: • The PCC meets at least once in a quarter.

  3. Coordination of the PCC • Coordination of the PCC activities is a joint responsibility assigned to the E4L Programme Coordinator and the Programme Development Adviser

  4. Tasks of the PCC The PCC has been assigned the following tasks: • Ensure synergy among the 3 Programme components. • Further development of the Programme, e.g. by initiating a yearly Programme Innovation Workshop. • Coordinate Cross-cutting activities.

  5. Tasks of PCC cont. • Administer the unallocated resources. • Monitor Programme financial and internal audit reports. • Recommend reallocation of resources between components/sub-components. • Responsible for MER at the Programme level. • Coordination of communication/information to target groups, the public and stakeholders.

  6. How SfL benefits from and contributes to the E4L Programme • Experience and knowledge sharing (e.g. multi-donor funding arrangements; technical support in Financial Management and Accounting to other units; ) • Linkage to possible/potential funding sources and other opportunities (e.g. STAR-Ghana; international conferences such as the 18th Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers/Mauritius; internal/cross-cutting, local/national and international trainings; etc)

  7. Benefits & contributions cont. • Cross-fertilization of ideas (e.g. through discussions at PCC meetings, joint training sessions on cross-cutting issues such as communication, advocacy, gender, RBM and other thematic sessions, etc). • Benefits to SfL from a Programme with a bigger clout.

  8. Benefits & contributions cont. • Support in the development and implementation of new and innovative ideas/approaches to programme planning and implementation (e.g. RBM) • Support from contingency to carry out activities on overstretched budget lines (e.g. to publicize the LDC through exhibitions and documentary).

  9. Benefits & contributions cont. • Reallocation of excess funds from SfL to other/needy areas/units • SfL’s lead, while a single project, in advocacy and gender put it in an advantageous position to contribute resource materials to the E4L Programme.

  10. Cooperation with other Units (particularly CBO/LOM) • Other Units, particularly YEfL and CBO/LOM, have used SfL as a pad to launch their activities as they enter Districts/communities where SfL operates or used to operate. • SfL staff have been given an orientation by CBO/LOM on the community score-card method.

  11. Cooperation with other Units (particularly CBO/LOM) cont. • SfL Finance and Accounting staff supported YEfL Accounts staff to set up their accounting system. • YEfL has requested SfL to give its Management some orientation in advocacy and networking. SfL is committed to supporting in this, and will find time to do that.

  12. Challenges • Sometimes, Programme level and cross-cutting activities requiring Unit personnel participation coincide/clash with Unit activitiesleading to low or no participation in some programme activities. - To optimize the cooperation and maximize mutual benefits, there is the need to improve upon communication and coordination.

  13. Challenges cont. • Another challenge in the programme approach is the often long drawn-out planning/programming and reporting regime that all have to contend with. • The complexities and complications associated with the need to get things synchronized within the Programme sometimes retards progress.

  14. Potentials • Pooling of resources (both human and material) together in and for the Programme provides perhaps the greatest potential for growth and development. • Once the Programme grows and develops it does that with all its integral parts.
