middle stage of EIF implementation and since then the absenteeism and lack of interest continued to prevail among the low paid government support staff in implementation of EIF Tier 1 activities without having the salary supplementations. Similarly the full engagement of the LOs from line-ministries also suffered from the termination of the salary-supplement mechanism in all the ministries of RGC. It was a great challenge for the project and EIF management took some initiatives to strengthen the link between the LOs and senior officials of the respective institutions, specially engaging them in soft skills development and exposure visits to learn and perform better.

EIF Tier 2 CEDEP II – M&E Component
#
ES and TFM recommended actions (May, 2015)
Mar 2016 Status 1 The MIEs should work closely with DICO and relevant line Ministries to strengthen the participation of core team in the implementation and M&E of CEDEP II. A clear TOR and shared work plan between core team members and MIEs should be agreed upon. Completed
UNDP/Cassava component is being done The ToR of core team members and MIEs work plan (some MIEs) have been presented and shared during the 2nd MIE Quarterly meeting held on 23 June 2015. MoC/NIU organized a special meeting among key stakeholders (Shift 360 and core team member) to present project-related documents to core team members as well as discussed other related issues including collaboration and participation of core team members in the project implementation etc.
#
ES and TFM recommended actions (May, 2015)
Mar 2016 Status 2 Due to different starting time and implementation pace of each component, it is recommended that the timing and modality of Mid-term evaluation of CEDEP II should be further discussed and agreed upon between DICO, MIEs, ES and TFM. Completed The ToR was already finalized and agreed by all key stakeholders. The recruitment of consultants for the Mid-term evaluation was completed.
#
ES and TFM recommended actions (May, 2015)
Mar 2016 Status 3 It is recommended that UNIDO works closely with DICO and other implementing partners to speed up the implementation of the fishery component of CEDEP II. Project technical progress reports should be submitted timely to the Project Steering Committee for endorsement and subsequently to ES, TFM and DICO for review and clearance. On-going UNIDO had already submitted the narrative and financial reports directly from their HQ to EIF ES and UNOSP in June. The 2nd Project Steering Committee meeting was organized on 1st September 2015. The main objectives of the meeting were to seek the endorsement of narrative report, revised annual work plan, and presentation the findings of the related studies and assessments
Regularly collecting of information and data related to the project component through the Quarterly EIF CEDEP meeting and field visits; Sharing of information and engaging with all relevant MIEs and stakeholders (incl. core team, project beneficiaries and other development partners) for reporting and follow-up on implementation to all recommendations; Encouraging all key actors to share its project related information with DICO and other key stakeholders through Trade SWAp website and Facebook page Some core team members have faced time constraint to participate in project implementation (meetings, field visit, …etc) due to conflict schedules at own line ministries. Updating project progress, achievements, and results is one of the key challenges faced by DICO/NIU as each MIEs have its internal procedures and deadlines with EIF and UNOPS respectively.
No. Risks / Challenges Proposed Mitigation Solution 1 Core team lack of their own commitments toward the project, information and progress of the project due to their heavy work load Core team to follow-up more closely with the project implementation by MIEs 2 Lack of cooperation between MIEs and core team MIEs, M&E DICO and Core team to strengthen their cooperation within the project implementation, dissemination and progress 3 DICO and core team capacity building needed within the project arears MIEs to take action on providing capacity building to core team and DICO team
