  1. NPoA Harmonisation Presentation Made At National APRM Workshop on “Harmonizing the Mauritius National Plan of Action (NPoA) with the existing development strategies and Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF)” Domaine Les Pailles, Mauritius 23-24 April 2012 by Adotey Bing-Pappoe

  2. Outline • Integrating with Existing National Plans: Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes • Identification of APRM Projects Within National Plans • Tracking APRM Projects and Programmes

  3. NPoA Harmonisation Integrating with Existing National Plans: Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes

  4. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes overarching issues • two Overarching Issues • harmonising the Institutional framework • harmonising the planning cycles

  5. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes institutional framework-1 • The NGC could be placed within the principle institution in the national planning framework • The NGC will have influence at the heart of the national planning system • The performance of the NGC is likely to be affected by the authority, capacity, competence, and organisational culture of the existing national planning system

  6. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes institutional framework-2 • The NGC could be included in the national planning architecture as an independent body • The NGC will have to contest for influence with other players in the national planning framework • Some of the NGC’s time and resources will be spent on participating in the processes of the national planning system, rather than working on overseeing the APRM-NPoA

  7. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes institutional framework-3 • Representatives of some (or all) major national planning institutions allocated places on the NGC • There is a danger that the NGC will be more influenced by the other members of the national planning system than it will be able to influence them. • The inter institutional rivalries of the members of the national planning system may be played out in the NGC.

  8. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes planning cycles • The planning cycle of the npoa often differed from that of the preexisting national plan(s) • In some cases this allowed the NPoA to inform the national plan. • In the event that all the objectives of the NPoA were not synchronised with the PRSP, the annual budgets were. • In other instances the NPoA was not harmonised with the national plan, but the projects of the NPoA were sometimes incorporated int o the MTEF

  9. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes options • Challenge-1: harmonising the npoa with preexisting national plans: overlapping development projects • challenge-2: harmonising the npoa with preexisting national plans: new development projects • challenge-3: harmonising the npoa with pre-existing national plans: the governance aspects

  10. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes the plans • countries commonly have several development plans being implemented simultaneously. • Examples: • A Strategic National Development Plan • PRSP • MDGs • HIPC • MCA • AGOA • thus harmonising plans not new to African planners • harmonising the npoa with pre-existing national plans had to resolve three scenarios

  11. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes options • Challenge-1: harmonising the npoa with preexisting national plans: overlapping development projects

  12. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes objectives • the more the npoa overlapped with pre-exiting national plans, the easier it was to harmonise the two

  13. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes objectives • the more the npoa shared the same projects as pre-exiting national plans, the easier it was to harmonise the two • no harmonisation was required

  14. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes options • challenge-2: harmonising the npoa with preexisting national plans: new development projects

  15. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes objectives • option-1: cluster aprm-npoa development projects as a separate package of projects to be managed by the responsible mdas • option-2: distribute aprm-npoa development projects among existing national plans managed by the responsible mdas

  16. Integrating Objectives,Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes options • challenge-3: harmonising the npoa with pre-existing national plans: the governance aspects

  17. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes aprm as governance • the challenge: to harmonise the governance framework of the aprm-npoa with those of the pre-existing development plans, if any

  18. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes aprm as governance • the questionnaire sets the stage for questions about the main governance focus areas • the benchmarking sets the stage for the npoa, and future self assessments • the npoa determines the choices of objectives, strategies, policies, and outcomes

  19. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes aprm as governance • the task of harmonisation tended to fall on a strategic ministry in particular one responsible for planning • Ghana • Uganda • Mauritius

  20. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes ghana • ghana had a Growth and poverty reduction strategy GPRS-II was completed in november 2005. • The self assessment was conducted • the npoa was prepared from september 2004 to may 2005 • GPRS-II was modified to include the npoa.

  21. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes ghana

  22. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes uganda • The Poverty poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSPs). • Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) 1997/8 to 2007/8 extended to 2010 • aprm-npoa produced 2009 • NDP launched 2010

  23. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes uganda • Objectives of NDP • National Vision of Growth, Employment and Socio-economic Transformation for Prosperity • to address the structural features of economy by identifying The most binding constraints limiting growth in Uganda • Mixture of economic growth and poverty eradication • Mixture of market led and state led interventions, business approach to service delivery • to be financed through increase in tax base, efficiency gains, PPP, capital markets, DPs) • Proposed sectoral interventions

  24. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes uganda • APRM was completed before the NDP, so the latter was informed by the former • those preparing the ndp examined each objective og each thematic area of the npoa and sought to capture it and make it a part of the ndp, if possible. • as a result most to the objectives of the npoa were included in the ndp • those that were not came under the democracy and political governance theme • reversal of the decision to remove the presidential term limit • review of the representation of special interest groups

  25. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes content overlap • All main sections of the national plan should have a clear governance component where the agreed governance indicators and targets are set out.

  26. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes content overlap • Work is undertaken to ensure that the governance indicators of the APRM-NPoA and pre-existing national plans conform one with the other. • In principle the NPoA preparation process should have ensured that this was already the case, but it may be that such a harmonisation will have to wait until the next cycle of the national plan in order to make it possible.

  27. Integrating Objectives, Strategies, Policies, and Outcomes content overlap • The direction of the changes deemed necessary to bring this about, should be in the direction of the more demanding or higher standard. • The lead MDAs of the national plan, should also be the lead MDAs for the corresponding section of the APRM-NPoA.
