comments:

Fully agree with this recommendation. The TRIANGLE management recognizes that the research list is too ambitious and have taken immediate steps to reduce it. The TRIANGLE management also agrees that conducting both a 2020 mid-line survey and a 2025 end-line survey will not be optimal use of programme resources and thus supports the recommendation to cancel the plans for the mid-line survey. However, instead of doing the end-line in 2025, we propose to launch it during 2023. Conducing the end line in 2023 would ensure (a) sufficient time for it to be published; and (b) serve as a basis for design of future projects building on the successes of the current phase of TRIANGLE in ASEAN.

action_plan:

Action undertaken in response to the recommendation by February 2019: • In immediate response to this recommendation, the product list, which among others contains the agreed research projects, was revised and a total of six publications removed. The revised product list was submitted to DFAT and GAC for approval together with the Annual Technical Progress Report on 28 February 2019. • Discussions have been initiated with DFAT on the suggestion to cancled the mid-line and to do the end-line in 2023. A final decision still needs to be made.

title:

Prioritize the different components of the originally highly ambitious Research Agenda; although it has already been reduced by the programme management it will need further reduction (to be coordinated by the Senior Programme Manager); one example to be considered and discussed with the donors concerns the Baseline Survey of migrant workers which is scheduled to be repeated as Mid-line survey in 2020 as well as End-line survey in 2025; reconsideration of the need for both is recommended as it will require substantial resources in terms of finance (US$ 140,000 each, albeit hopefully through cost-sharing with IOM) as well as of manpower especially since the M&E Expert is likely to be immersed in M&E work once appointed and is not expected to be an expert on research as the predecessor.
