  1. CAP-Scan in Mauritania Evaluation of MfDR Capacities Description of the exercise

  2. Contents • Introduction : General context • Why CAP-Scan ? • What is the CAP-Scan ? • CAP-Scan process • CAP-Scan in Mauritania

  3. Note • This document is the final compilation of all other CAP-Scan presentations describing the process in Mauritania • Its objective is to serve as a guide and toolbox for the next CAP-Scan exercise • It should be used with complementary documents including: • Excel tools • Methodology • CAP-Scan report, July 2008

  4. CAP-Scan in Mauritanie Evaluation of MfDR Capacities Introduction – General Context

  5. General Context (1/2) – MfDR framework • A framework on development performance • Evidence-based decision-making tool • Simple and practical tool for strategic planning, risk management, and monitoring and evaluation of results • Approach that seeks to have a long term impact.

  6. General context (2/2) – CAP-Scan approach • The CAP-Scan was developed by the Joint Venture Managing for Development Results (JV MfDR), of the OECD’s Development Assistance Community (DAC). • The CAP-Scan Working Group included : • UNDP • Inter-American Development Bank • Asian Development Bank • Canadian International Development Agency • Millenium Challenge Corporation • World Bank • Mauritania is the first country to implement the CAP-Scan in this pilot phase. It will share this experience at the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, September 2008.

  7. CAP-Scan in Mauritania Evaluation of MfDr Capacities Why CAP-Scan? What is the CAP-Scan?

  8. Why CAP-Scan? • The Triennial Development Plan for 2008-2010 identified capacity building as a long-term goal: • In particular decision-making, strategic planning and program management capacities • Inter-sectoral charater of capacities adds complexity to the search for solutions • The CAP-Scan is an opportunity to develop an improvement plan • Self-assessment by senior government officials • Cross-cutting groups • Setting capacity building priorities • Concrete action plan that integrates existing efforts

  9. What is the CAP-Scan? 1. MfDR principles Focus on result : priorities, action planning Factual data : scores based on facts Monitoring and evaluation : a monitoring mechanism to adapt and improve capacities Appropriation : self-assessment and adaptation of methodology Transparency : framework and process

  10. What is the CAP-Scan? 2. An integrated approach • Five «  pillars » : for self-assessment • Macro-level evaluation • Integrated vision for the 5 pillars : understanding interactions and dependancies as important as identifying actions • Each piliar is divided into evaluation criteria : the dimensions • Dimensions are the base of priorities and actions CAP- Scan

  11. What is the CAP-Scan? 3. A framework and self-assessment methodology

  12. What is the CAP-Scan? 3. Framework and self-assessment methodology (continued) • Through self-evaluation the country positions itself at a point along the development capacity change for each dimension

  17. Self-assessment : positioning each dimension

  18. Collecting data, position, visualization

  19. Journal : Framework data

  20. Visualisation: MfDR profile

  21. Mauritania’s Approach • Sector materials • Group Discussion • Self-assessment • Adaptation • Consolidation and synthesis • Working Sessions • Self-assessment • Priorities • Action Plan • Monitoring • 3 stages : • By departement : Group review and evaluation • Synthesis : Points of convergence and divergence • Full group discussion

  22. Self-Assessment Tools • Mauritania CAP-Scan – Framework • Self-assessment framework: Engage group in discussion. One questions per dimension, responses correspond to each stage of development • Pillars and dimensions : Synthesis viewpoint of group • Stages of development capacities : General definitions • Correspondance : matrix showing dimensions (based on existing CAP-Scan documents) • Mauritania CAP-Scan– Journal • Journal : Recording ofdiscussion and arguments • Mauritania CAP-Scan - Synthesis • Self-assessment 1 : July 2008 results • Self-assessment 2 : results of next cycle • Self-assessment - Pillars : averages per pillar • Self-assessment - Dimensions : Diagram showing dimensions

  25. Presentation of Working Sessions • Basis : synthesis of sectoral self-assessments • Review of differences with a view to reaching consensus • It is your assessment • The score is less important than the arguments! • Roles : • Moderator : … • Facilitator : … • Time-keeper : …

  26. CAP-Scan in Mauritania Evaluation of MfDR Capacities Process 2. Identifying priorities

  27. Identifying priorities : Criteria • Criteria 1 : Must be done • Group work -- consensus • Only those dimensions considered indispensible are kept for further analysis • Others are ranked as lowest priority • Criteria 2&3 : feasibility and urgency • Discussion in full group • Identifying priorities • Full group discussion • Urgent and Feasible = 1 • Priorities 2 and 3 discussed in group • Evaluation • Implicit in the analysis of Feasibility / Urgency • Visualize on Evaluation x Priority table and validate final priorities • Note : the number of levels of priorities is not important (3 or 4 in general). The critical point is reaching consensus on the 5-6 dimensions of priority 1.

  28. Indispensable In the short term 4 3 Critical 2 Important Useful 1 Not useful in the short term 0 Level 1 Analysis : importance by dimension Commitment Change Management Budget reflects national priorities Clarity and articulation of vision Evaluation of data quality Access to public information

  29. Working Session Activities • Activity 1 (1hr) • Objective : position dimensions on the vertical axis measuring importance • All dimensions are important : must define relative importance and think in sequential terms • 2 working groups, 1 rapporteur for each group (NB : the group of rapporteurs convene on day 2) • Group work : 20 min • Restitution : 10 min per group • Discussion / full group validation : 20 min • Roles : • Moderator : … • Facilitator : …

  30. Level 2 Analysis : feasibility x urgency Ch Commitment Clarity and articulation of vision Evaluation of data quality Feasibility Budget reflects national priorities Change Management Urgence

  31. Working Session Activities • Activity 2 (45 min) • Objective : identify priority dimensions and develop action plan • Second iteration of first group of priorities to determine results and introduce two addtional varieables : urgency and feasiblity • Think sequentially in timeframe of 6 months – 1 year • Full group work to set the first group dimensions on the table: urgency x feasibility • Roles : • Moderator : … • Facilitator : …

  33. Working Sessions Activities • Activity 3 (30 min) • Objective : Full group validates priorities for action (around 5) • Full group plots the dimensions on a table measuring assessmentx priorities • Priorities are defined in activities – Concentrate on high levels! • Take an step in advance : review and correlate 5-6 priority dimensions • Conclusion of first day • Roles : • Facilitator : …

  34. CAP-Scan in Mauritania Evaluation of MfDR Capacities Process 3. Developing an Action Plan

  35. Note • Developing an action plan is one step in improving the methodology • Observations : • Formulate objectives based on priority dimensions, define actions • First meeting in small group (of focal points) to develop a first draft of the action plan for review by the full group • In all cases, share adaptations with the MfDR Secretariat

  36. Principles

  37. Working Sessions Activities • Activity 1 (1hr30) : 2 working groups • Objective : propose an action plan for priority dimensions (priority 1) • Additional rules : • Prohibited words : « apply  », « reinforce », « assist » • Additional pillar required: Monitoring CAP-Scan / communication • Each group has the right to revise 1 dimension among the priorities and propose complementary actions for group validation • Indications / questions to validate an action : • Is it possible to define the result in 6 months to a year? • Is it possible to measure the results with indicators? • Is responsibility for actions clear? • Tools : Results from day 1, Action planning • Roles : • Facilitators : … (1 per group)

  38. Working Session Activities • 2 Activities (1hr30) • Objective : Develop first draft of workplan • Actions must address criteria : • Concrete results in 6 months – 1 year and associated indicators • Clear responsibilities • Group Work • 15 per group • Discussion : 1hr • Roles : • Moderator : … • Facilitator : … • If differences persists at the end of the morning: arbitration committee during the afternoon (3-4 representatives from each groups, facilitators)

  39. Working Session Activities • 3 Activities (1hr) • Objective : Finalize Action Plan • Additional Information : • Responsabilities • Indicators, baselines and targets • Resources • Ties to other initiatives / programs • Full Group Work • Roles : • Moderator : … • Facilitator : …

  40. Working Session Activities • 4 Activities (1hr) • Objectives • Finalize analysis of CAP-Scan pillars and communicate Action Plan • Proposing Post-Accra mechanisms • Additional Information : • Responsabilities • Ties to other initiatives / programs • Full Group Work • Roles : • Facilitator : …
