The day started with the recap of the previous day
when the project staffs developed solutions for the implementation issues
identified on the first day of the workshop.
This day 3 was dedicated to planning, targeting,
monitoring and evaluation and communication.
IFAD consultant Ms. Monique Trudel made a brief
presentation on Livelihood and Development Challenges. The first working group
exercise in the morning session was based on this presentation and following
questions on targeting and inclusion:
- How to make sure that
development actors take into account « social inclusion »
meaning not only women but different groups – disadvantages group, youth
elder in the value chain?
- How can who measure the
flow of benefits best, when and how?
- How can our “beneficiaries” shape and profit from the KM and learning and innovation agenda?
The groups worked together for 30 minutes and came up
with constructive answers, including ways to avoid elite capture during
implementation. The prioritized outcomes were incorporated in the road map.
The group work was followed by a video on WUPAP gender activities: "We were like frogs in a well!"
As the day’s theme focused on Learning, Knowledge
Management and M&E, the project M&E Officers elaborated the findings of
their community of practice which has been active for the past 18 months.
