title:

Recommendation #5 (addressed to all relevant partner UN agencies): Prepare project documents based on firm financial commitments from partner agencies. Uncertainties in funding can drive project design to become overambitious. Project planning based on predictable resources helps to keep beneficiaries' and stakeholders' expectations realistic and does not create false hope. The project design should be amenable to modifications if additional resources become available. Also, project design should give due consideration to the implementation modalities of the agencies involved. In this project, ILO, UNDP, and UNESCO implemented project activities directly while IFAD had to work through respective government mechanisms. In this project, since expected funding for the IFAD component was not approved at the same time as MPTF, the agricultural entrepreneurship-related activities under component 2 were launched behind the schedule of other activities. Notwithstanding the financing delay, linkages with implementing partners were established and pursued, particularly in Fiji and Tonga, and farmers attended training delivered under other components. According to the IFAD representative, agricultural entrepreneurship activities will continue to be implemented over the next three years beyond MPTF programming.
