challenges:

While the SAF Programme used the RPAC, NPACs, and CSO Reference Group to collect feedback on programme implementation and discuss ways in which the implementation could be done more effectively, there was no room for stakeholder feedback to influence modifications to the programme design throughout programme implementation. To facilitate response programming, the design should not necessarily remain static throughout the entire programme implementation.

success:

The establishment of the Safe and Fair Programme’s RPAC, NPACs, and CSO Reference Group throughout the course of programme implementation helped to promote stakeholder ownership and buy-in. It would be useful for future programmes to include these kinds of groups to ensure that stakeholder feedback is collected throughout the entire programme implementation.

context:

Many donors are unwilling to modify the programme design once it has been established to allow for modifications to the design during programme implementation based on stakeholder inputs and feedback.

description:

Engaging stakeholders through ongoing consultative processes like the Safe and Fair Programme’s RPAC, NPACs, and CSO Reference Group throughout the course of programme implementation is helpful to promote stakeholder ownership and buy-in. However, flexible programming mechanisms must be in place to use stakeholder feedback to make improvements to the programme design and implementation approaches for these processes to be truly meaningful for stakeholders.The SAF and Fair Programme effectively used the RPAC, NPACs, and CSO Reference Group to keep stakeholders engaged in the programme throughout its implementation. However, this engagement would have been more meaningful to stakeholders and could have had a more positive impact on programming had the programme included more flexible programming mechanisms to use stakeholder feedback to make improvements to the programme design and implementation approaches.

administrative_issues:

To implement this lesson learned, UN agencies will need to advocate among donors for the inclusion of mechanisms to flexibly adjust and modify the programme design throughout the programme implementation in response to continuous stakeholder inputs and feedback. This kind of programme design would facilitate more responsive programming.
