description:

The management capacity has been inadequate due to shortage of funds and its work can be characterised as fire fighting and keeping the programme afloat and providing as much services as possible. It has not always been possible to make the right priorities and to provide services required and some countries have, accordingly, been given less attention than originally envisaged. This is not sustainable in the long-term as a programme of this nature requires: adequate resources in order not to spread too thinly across the member countries; to have its staff in the field to a large extent, not only to accommodate the immediate needs of the stakeholders, but also to be 'on the ground' for stakeholder dialogues on further initiatives. Moreover it needs a flexible strategy over a longer period of support to ensure methods and approaches are sustained in the member countries. This requires more substantial funding, which leads over to the next lesson learned.
