1.Incorporate SDG contribution to the PAVE reporting format 2. Incorporate learning from LEED+ format to the PAVE annual report format by communicating with donor (specifically to place indicator assesment in the annex).

action_plan:

The project management partially agreed with the recommendation. The project had to adhere to a complex reporting format that had been agreed with both donors (Norway and DFAT). The format is complex because it is tailored to meet the distinct requirements of two different donors. The team also reached a consensus regarding the report's length, given that the project encompasses a wide array of key aspects. However, ILO and donors engaged in several discussions about issues related to repetition which emerged from the fact that the report explains the effectiveness of the project (including outputs, outcomes, and impact) and provides a detailed analysis of the indicator section in two different sections of the report. From the team's perspective, there is a belief that a clear narrative is included under each quantitative indicator, briefly explaining cumulative and annual achievements. However, the same approach doesn't apply to the qualitative indicators due to the nature of them. Despite not being a specific donor requirement, it is a valuable suggestion to incorporate information about the project's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

title:

9. Reporting: Reporting is lengthy and complex; it is difficult to extract key information from the Annual Reports. A clear and concise statement on the status of indicators would be very useful in addition to any narratives that are provided. Furthermore, reporting on the actions to support the relevant SDG Goals is scanty, and it is recommended that the Annual Report has a separate section on SDG contributions.
