General action points:
- IFAD - Project - Government supervision missions should ensure that terms of reference are sent well in advance;
- The Provincial People's Committee should be informed of the Mission and requested participation, particularly to participate in the field visits;
- Ministry of Planning (MPI) and Investment and MoF should participate in the missions;
- Provincial wrap up meetings would be help at the end of each supervision mission;
- One national level workshop (country programme review) bringing together the findings of the supervision missions would be sufficient in Hanoi chaired by the MPI;
- Follow up missions would be made based on request; and
- Capacity needs to be built of the project M&E teams to develop M&E systems and analysis of data.
