title:

2. Continue monitoring and learning: as most outcomes from the RBSA-efforts are not clear yet, ILO can still till March 2020 increase its efforts to monitor the ultimate outcomes from the various efforts. The project, as an exit strategy and tool for learning, can still constitute baselines (through beneficiary recall) and assess likely outcomes. Even afterwards, half-yearly one-day visits to e.g. the Paravi Dola watershed for another few years would constitute a minimal effort in terms of staff and costs, but would provide numerous valuable lessons that ILO as well as government and UN-agencies can apply in new programming. The concerned project staff (ILO, IUCN), possibly supported by CTA or CO M&E officer, might require five to seven days in total to select one or two indicators per intervention, formulate precise data collection questions, and hold sessions with community groups and focus groups (e.g. women, women-headed households, people with disabilities, youth) in the three tank communities in the North, and in the Southwest maybe with the Home Garden CBO, the Kithul CBOs, the rice seedbank village, a group of tea smallholders, the concerned DS Division leaders of the Paravi Dola area, and a small sample of communities in Ratnapura district and the other areas of Kalutara. Post-project efforts might be limited to 2-3 staff days (including travel) per year for a programme staff working in the area or an M&E expert of the Country Office.
