comments:
I fully support this recommendation as ILS Specialist. I also consider that ILS component should be stronger and precisely included in RBSA project. I would suggest that a requirement to ILS proposals should be to ensure inclusion of ILS element in the project and ensure proper consultations with ILS specialists to discuss what exactly should be proposed and implemented (means at RBSA drafting and implementation stages).
action_plan:
1. Ask ROAP and HQ to include these requirements in RBSA conditions

title:
Recommendation 1. Maintain the current RBSA funding modality for normative P&B outcomes but adjust practices to assure greater precision in executing core normative work tasks. This is particularly important in cases where they are mixed with DC interventions with non-ILS focused tasks and outputs. Mixed projects among the eight projects did not perform well in respect of their ILS outputs, and particularly those involving core normative work; project interests in the group were elsewhere. If ILS elements have been included within the plan of work for DC that is not primarily ILS-focused, they need to be taken more seriously. Among the evaluated projects, the inclusion of normative work and its character (for example, core or not) was determined by independent factors, i.e. the guidance memorandum, constituents’ requests as captured in the DWCP and otherwise, intervention formulators, etc. It would be counter-productive, maybe impossible, to try to exclude normative work from non-ILS focused interventions. Improving results by doing better for this type of mixed project is thus recommended
