LESSONS LEARNED 1 On the Framework It is a unique mechanism on its nature; Original concept (performance monitoring) improved with forward looking perspective (planning functions); Good mechanism for broad based inputs (particularly CSOs) into policy formulation and development planning; Great understanding (of the framework) at central level;
LESSONS LEARNED 2 On the Structure Representation of all stakeholders at all levels; Technical secretariat well represented at provincial level; Good coordination between central and provincial DO; Government driven; Civil Society is using the same structure at local level (districts)
CHALLENGES 1 Strengthening the role of DO: Improving the data collection and the quality of reports; The quality of CS participation (analytical capability and debate); Regularize the DO in the sense to be better integrated in the planning and monitoring process; Dissemination channels still inadequate; Capacity building for technical secretariat at provincial level in terms of: Preparatory sessions Administrative issues Moderation of the meeting Drafting the session reports and dissemination
CHALLENGES 2 Representation of the districts councils at provincial DO need to be improved; Limited financial resources to: Organize more than one DO for policy inputs, Carry out oriented studies to be used in the DO; Dissemination of the information
