- action_plan:
- The Country Office agrees with the general recommendation/observation that RBSA is a highly appreciated modality of funding, given its flexibility, agility, and low cost of implementation, especially within a crisis context. Due to this in Sri Lanka, we were able to reallocate funding to other activities very quickly, based on the emerging needs and requests from the constituents.

- title:
- 1) Continue, and if possible, expand the RBSA Fund as it is a highly appreciated funding modality for its flexibility and relatively low-cost procedures especially also in the context of crisis when the interventions are (even) more likely to target selected highly affected vulnerable groups.
A related recommendation is to explore the possibility of having a longer timeframe of the RBSA interventions especially for such activities as policy making, statistics work, etc. However, the RBSA Guidance for the new Round 1 in 2022-2023 has already followed-up earlier recommendations to that effect and has increased the maximum to 24 months. At the same time, it was found in the present evaluation that under certain circumstances a longer timeframe is less necessary as other interventions were already in place to take over (such as in Bangladesh).
