description:

The issue of sustainability remains inadequately addressed in the design phase. There is no conscious link in the design phase with other IPEC programmes, which would allow for better integration and effective linkages across programmes. In addition, building on lessons learned was a critical oversight (also identified in the mid-term evaluation) in that lessons learned from the one programme was not addressed in the next programme but rather transported into the next programme. This renders such evaluations meaning-less because recommendations are not being addressed and there is no follow through or monitoring of impact of previous programmes. One of the key issues is that new Programmes start before the previous ones have been finalised and evaluated so that lessons learnt could not systematically inform the design of the new programme. In Kenya and Ghana the TBP has started and already there are elements in it that are being repeated from the CBP and that should not have been. For example, a key concern in the CBP has been that the impact of an intervention cannot be sufficiently assessed within the short time frame that is given for projects and that a longer period is required. In Kenya some AP are still 18 - 24 months.
