Management accepts this recommendation: standardizing annual report layout and content is crucial for enhancing clarity, comparability and utility for all stakeholders, including donors.

action_plan:

- Standardize the outline of the annual technical progress reports prepared in March and phases II, ensuring consistent structure and comprehensive coverage - Include a dedicated section for lessons learned and good practices, outlining a process for their systematic collection and documentation - Train programme staff on the revised reporting template and requirements.

Recommendation 8: Standardise the layout of the annual reports to make them more legible and easier to compare. The annual reporting tended to change throughout the years, with the first and second annual reports presenting progress towards outputs and outcomes followed by a narrative report. The third annual report presented a summary of outcomes and then factory-level interventions, which overlapped with cross-cutting factors and did not dedicate sections to sectoral and national-level interventions. The fifth and sixth annual reports then featured factory, regional, and national-level interventions but did not include some of the cross-cutting factors (e.g., environment) found in the third annual report. In the following phase, the Programme should set out a consistent and holistic annual report structure that is consistently adhered to throughout the implementation period. This would facilitate the process of following updates regarding the Programme and make it easier for donors and other relevant stakeholders to follow. Lastly, annual reporting could also benefit from the introduction of a section that encompasses lessons learned and good practices across the various aspects of the Programme. This would help ensure that there are resources (and targets) to conduct research on “what works” regularly and inform policymaking.
