NL-KVK-41152786-SP1640SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationICSIAPLICSIAPL-DeSIRA intends to boost innovation in agriculture and food systems transformation of partner countries with a view to be more resilient to the effects of climate change. It will contribute to the climate-relevant, productive, and sustainable transformation of agriculture and food systems in low and middle-income countries, thereby contributing to the achievement of the following SDG Targets: 2.3 (Agricultural productivity), 2.4 (Sustainable food systems and resilient agricultural practices), 2.A (Investments in research and extension), and 13.2 (integrate climate change into policies, strategies, and planning). Across its geographic implementation DeSIRA focuses on thematic priorities: Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS); Water-Energy-Food-Forest nexus; Vegetables-Legumes-Roots and Tubers cropping; Plant health/Crops Pests and Diseases; Livestock and Pastoralism; Agroecological intensification; and Governance & capacity strengthening of international organisations in agriculture research and innovation. This project deals with the thematic priority of Livestock and Pastoralism. Agriculture contributes 26% to Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product and especially in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) , livestock is the main contributor to the agricultural sector. 90% of family income and employment in these areas comes from livestock, but the sector faces multiple challenges: the land is often overgrazed and overstocked, human population growth causes competition for land use (settlements), soil fertility is declining, and climate change, including prolonged droughts and flooding, pose threats to both the vulnerable population and the herds. Farmers use extensive farming systems and the inadequate supply of certified forage seeds and vegetative planting materials and low commercialisation of forage production leaves much potential for improvement. ​Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands KenyaNetherlands Development OrganisationAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationJulius RonoProject Manager0720271276jrono@snv.orgNgong Lane, 30776SNVRebecca hallamCountry Director0733969157rhallam@snv.orgNgong Lane, 30776-1.2920659 36.82194622498157.562498157.56Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands KenyaLivelihoods of agro-pastoralists communities enhanced through improved forage production and livestock husbandry, building on commercialization of climate smart innovations and sustainable landscape management in Taita Taveta, Kajiado and Narok counties.18-07-2025: Since inception, the project has been supporting 5 Private seed companies in fodder production and marketing.18-07-2025: In 2023, the project worked to strengthen 23 MSMESs supported in 2022, and an additional 3 MSMEs with new 3-year business plans in 2023 that will run beyond project end date.​18-07-2025: A post workshop evaluation on county government officials resulted in an average score of 3 on a 1-5 scale​NL-KVK-41152786-SP2160SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationINCLUDEThe Inclusive Livestock Development for Smallholder Farmers (INCLUDE) Project is a five-year initiative from April 2024 to March 2029. Implemented by SNV and funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the project aims to improve the livelihoods and resilience of smallholder farmers in Uganda. INCLUDE will empower 75,000 smallholder farmers (SHFs) and have improved market access for 90,000 SHFs in Kigezi, Greater Ankole, Rwenzori, and Busoga to achieve resilient livelihoods and a living income through sustainable, high-frequency, and livestock-based practices. The project’s vision is to promote equitable, sustainable, and resilient livelihoods for smallholder farmers, as well as reduce productivity loss and adaptation to climate shocks and market failure. The project uses a farming systems approach integrating livestock (dairy cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, and piggery) and crops, with livestock as the entry point. The PIP (Participatory Integrated Planning) approach, which transforms small-scale subsistence farms into productive, sustainable farms, guides INCLUDE farmers’ participation. PIP involves creating a visionary Integrated Farm Plan drawn by all family members and a concrete action plan to achieve that vision based on intrinsic motivation. The core of PIP is changing farmers’ mindsets through collective action. The project will enhance smallholder resilience, productivity, and income, support access to markets and market development, the school milk programme, and aid in developing inclusive, responsive livestock policies.INCLUDE has four long-term outcomes: 1. Increased smallholder farmers' productivity: 90,000 farmers benefit from increased productivity. 2. Sustainable smallholder farmers' land use: Manage 37,500 acres for improved productivity. 3. Improved market access for smallholder farmers: 90,000 farmers gain better market access. 4. Improved access to nutritious food: **300,000 **schoolchildren benefit from milk or milk-based foods. The geographical Area: Busoga, Rwenzori, Greater Ankole and Kigezi sub-regions of Uganda. The project has three pathways: 1. Sustainable Production: This integrated crop-livestock system improves soil fertility, diversifies smallholder farmer enterprises, and enhances the production and quality of livestock products. 2. Inclusive Livestock Markets: INCLUDE will be smallholder farmer-led and market-oriented and strengthen linkages between smallholder farmers and market actors for inputs, outputs, and financial services, enhancing the capacity and voice of smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and village-based marketing groups. It will also develop and strengthen private sector local market actors and link them with interested international (Dutch) companies to ensure that SHFs are an essential market segment with growth potential for their businesses. 3. School Milk Programme and Milk Market: INCLUDE will raise community awareness and participation in the school milk programme, boosting smallholder farmer milk sales to schools and collection centres.EKN UgandaSNV UgandaAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationRinus van KlinkenProject Manager+31 6 51043509rvanklinken@snv.orgUgandaSNVPhomolo MaphosaDeputy Director Country Programmes ESA+256701537000pmaphosa@snv.orgKenyaSNVMegan RitchieCountry Director+256 (0)742 555 419mritchie@snv.orgKampala, Uganda0.6546257 30.2801166-0.7911387999999999 29.9249030.4478565999999999 33.20261220.3151692 32.581631317200000.0017200000.00EKN UgandaSNV Uganda​**Definition:** Resilience of SHF Livelihoods is defined as the capacity to resist, recover from, and/or adjust to disruptions and stresses that (may) adversely affect their livelihoods. **Measurement:** This is a count of all SHF households with an increased capacity to maintain, recover or adjust their livelihood base – with a view to maintaining their engagement in food production – when faced with shocks or stresses. The shocks and stressess include but not limited to adverse weather, disease, price fluctuations, and soil infertility. Measurement of resilience is based on the SNV ABCD resilience framework which inludes measurement of the 4 ABCD domains over time as well as a qualitative assessment of changes in resilience of SHF from their own perspectives.From the baseline 22.9% of the households had resilient livestock based livelihoods. This translates to 17,175 SHFs from the targeted 75,000.**Definition:** productive and sustainable agriculture is defined as agriculture that yieldsDefinition: Productive and sustainable management of agricultural land refers to the practices and systems used to manage land resources in ways that optimise productivity while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the land’s ecological, economic, and social functions. Key components of this definition includes: • Productive: Ensures that land is used efficiently to produce food, fiber, and other resources, contributing to economic livelihoods and food security. This involves maximizing output without degrading the land’s potential for future use. • Sustainable: involves practices that protect natural resources, maintain biodiversity, reduce environmental impact (e.g., minimizing soil degradation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions), and ensure the social well-being of communities involved in agriculture. Sustainable agriculture also aims to improve resilience to climate change, secure livelihoods for farmers, and support long-term agricultural productivity without depleting resources for future generations. It integrates the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of land use. ​ **Measurement:** This is the sum of hectares of agricultural land on which at least two pructive and sustainable practices are appliedBaseline revealed an average of 0.56 Ha of farmland per SHF is under at least 2 conservation practices. When multiplied by the targeted 75,000 SHFs, the result is 4200 Ha**Definition:** Refers to the total area (measured in hectares) of farmland belonging to or managed by SHFs that has improved its capacity to withstand and quickly recover from climate or environmental shocks. These shocks include events such as drought, heavy rains, floods, pests, diseases, and soil degradation. A farmland area is considered "agro-ecologically more resilient" if it has clearly improved soil health, better water retention, greater biodiversity, reduced erosion, or strengthened ecosystem balance due to sustainable agricultural practices introduced by the project. **Measurement**: household survey to collect data on farmers perceptions of the agro-ecological resilience of their land, e.g. on soil quality, land stabilization, water retention capacity, yield stability etc.The baseline value for average Ha of SHFs farmland that is agro-ecologically more resilient to shocks is 0.28 Ha. Total Ha for the 75,000 targeted SHFs is 21000**Definition:** Here is refered to net farm income. Net farm income refers to the total profit a farm earns after accounting for all operating expenses, while also incorporating the value of any agricultural goods that are produced and consumed by the farm household rather than being sold. The key components are: Gross Farm Income: This includes all revenue from the sale of crops, livestock, plus the value of farm production used for home consumption (e.g., food, firewood, or other products the farm household consumes directly) or exchange. Expenses: These are the costs incurred in producing the goods, such as labor, materials, equipment, feed, fertilizers, and other operating costs. **Measurement:** Use sampled household survey to collect data on relevant income generating activities at farm level. Triangulate survey data with data from farmers that keep records on yield, inputs, prices and costs. The change in income is measured at farm household level with smallholder farm households participating in the project. Change in income is estimated through the collection and triangulation of proxy data. For Livestock: Collect data on income generated from sales of animals and or animal produce, and production costs. The survey should focus on the last season. Collect this data at approximately the same time for data to be comparable over the years. For Crops: Collect data on production volumes (harvested whether sold or for home consumption), farm gate prices received for sold crops, and input costs (variable costs) e.g costs for land preparation, land rent, seed, agro-chemicals, fuel, and hired labour. Consider the lowest price as a conservative estimate where there are multiple farmgate prices over the selling season. A standardised survey is available to collect data on farm income. Survey data to be triangulated with data from farmers that keep books on yield, inputs, prices and costs.**Definition**: This counts the total number of SHFs farmers who, as a result of the project, gradually increase their agricultural productivity, reducing the difference between their actual harvest (yield) and the maximum achievable yield under local conditions. A farmer qualifies under this indicator if they consistently demonstrate progress towards closing this gap, resulting in higher productivity and more efficient use of their land resources. **Measurement:** SHF household survey to collect data on the average crop yield per unit of land**Definition: ** This indicator measures the number of SHF households that have diversified their production systems by cultivating a combination of at least three livestock-crop types/species. Diversification here implies the combination of various crops and livestock to increase resilience and farm incomes. Crops species may include maize, beans, soy beans, banana, etc. Livestock types may include dairy cows/cattle, goats, sheep, rabbits, poultry, etc. **Measurement: ** A count of the number of SHF households meeting the three types/species threshold. Surveys will be employed to collect data on the types of crops and livestock types SHF households are managing.The baseline showed that 39% of the SHFs in the project area had introduced new crops and livestock that provide income. This translates to 17,550 SHFs against the targeted 45,000 SHFs​**Definition**: increased livestock production refers to growth or improvement in the quantity of livestock and their products over a given period of time **Measurement**: SHF household survey to collect data on quantity of livestock and their products​​**Definition:** Integrated, climate sensitive practices aims to address both the challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable Agricultural production. These practices focus on optimizing resource use, increasing resilience to climate shocks, and reducing the environmental footprint of farming. Examples of such practices are: soil conservation practices (e.g terracing, cover cropping), climate-smart livestock management (e.g. zero-grazing or rotational grazing), resilient crop varieties, water management (e.g rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation), crop diversification, agro-forestry, livestock-crop rotation, etc. Adoption means that the practice has been used for 2 or more consecutive agriculture seasons and that there is intention for continued practice in the future. **Measurement**: SHF household survey to collect data on the number of SHF that have applied at least two new integrated climate sensitive farming practices for two consecutive agriculture seasons and having the intention of continuity in the future. ​Baseline revealed that 27.5% of the SHFs adopted integrated climate-sensitive practices. This translates to 13,750 SHFs against the targeted 50,000 SHFs.**Definition**: Integrated climate sensitive farmer methods include advanced livestock production, aggregation, value-addition, agro-processing, agro-forestry, livestock-crop rotation, manure management, diversification of breeds, zero-grazing with improved fodder, new breeds, solar technologies, mulching, terracing, etc. **Measurement:** This indicator will measure the number of smallholder farmers (SHFs) that increased knowledge in integrated climate sensitive farming methods by a pre and post training survey ​43.1%**Definition:** better adapted services refer to services that are better adapted to local realities, climate conditions, resource availability etc. **Measurement:** counting the number of public and private service providers adapting their services based on SHF needsLoP targetLoP targetLoP targetLoP target**Definition**: Benefits include tangible and intangible advantages that SHFs, and communities gain from livestock activities e.g., increased income, environmental and social gains derived from sustainable livestock practices. Opportunities include potential areas for growth, innovation e.g., expansion into new markets, value addition, diversified practices, better technologies, better management practices, and untapped potential that can enhance productivity, profitability, and sustainability within the livestock value chain. **Measurement**: A count of the number of smallholder farmers who demonstrate an increased understanding of the benefits and opportunities of integrated livestock farming system.36.5%LoP targetLoP targetLoP targetLoP target30-10-2025: This includes PIP Innovators and Generation 1 farmers | 30-10-2025: Total Participatory Integrated Planning Innovators reached​**Definition:** Hectares of farmland reached in a targeted way (i.e. farmland area reached is – or can be – known) with an intervention that structurally and/or systemically contributes to improving ecologically sustainable land use. **Measurement:** count the # of hectares of farmland of farmers reached with project interventions aimed at structurally improving ecologically sustainable land use. Measuring this indicator involves tracking farmland improvements using both field-level assessments and farmer surveys.LoP targetLoP targetLoP targetsDefinitions: Stable prices exhibit minimal fluctuations across agricultural seasons and ensures that SHF households receives predictable incomes from their products e.g., milk, meat, etc regardless of seasonal variations in demand or supply. This enables SHF households to cover basic operational costs (feed, veterinary care, etc.) without experiencing significant financial strain due to sudden drops in market prices. Sustainable prices cover not only the cost of production but also provide enough profit to maintain and improve the SHF household's livelihood over time (1 year or more). These prices should allow for re-investment in the farm (e.g., buying better livestock breeds, improving farm infrastructure, water technologies, improved forage production, reducing the environmental footprint of the farm, etc) while maintaining environmental and economic viability. This may include SHF household signing contract with a stable buyer e.g VMMGs having contracts with off-takers to supply their milk products for a year or more. Measurement: Count the number of SHF households linked to relevant market actors (e.g off-takers) who received stable or sustainable prices for their products across two agricultural seasons or more.2.5%LoP targetLoP targetLoP targetDefinition: This indicator tracks the number of SHFs who are consistently using relevant inputs for their farming operations. Relevant inputs refer to any agricultural resources, products or services that directly enhance SHF livestock and crop productivity, sustainability, profitability, resilience to environmental stresses, or resource efficiency. Examples include seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, animal feed, veterinary services, equipment, and other farming tools. The relevance of these inputs is context-dependent, determined by local crop/livestock needs, environmental conditions, and market demand. It measures access to and use of inputs that are essential for SHFs. It also provides insight into the inclusivity of input markets. The relevance of inputs depends on local conditions, farming practices, market demands, and the specific needs of the SHFs. Inputs must be adapted to support both the crop and livestock components of the SHF farming system. Measurement: Use surveys to assess the types of inputs SHFs are using in their farms, frequency of use, and whether the inputs were accessed from formal or informal markets. Verify the presence of inputs on SHF farms, such as fertilizers, seeds, or livestock feeds, and whether these inputs are appropriate for the farming context. Relevancy of inputs means it meets their specific needs based on their contexts. SHFs must report using at least one input that is critical for their crop or livestock operations during the growing season. Inputs must be applied according to recommended practices (e.g., correct amount of fertilizers). Using sample surveys, estimate the number of SHFs using relevant inputs.42.7%LoP targetLoP targetLoP targetLoP target**Definition: **Marketed Agricultural Production Volume refers to the total quantity of agricultural goods or products that are produced and then sold or exchanged in the market, rather than being consumed directly on the farm or used for subsistence purposes.

Formal market transactions are recorded through written agreements or signed contracts between SHFs and market actors (e.g., contract farming agreements, input purchases backed by bank documents, invoices, or receipts). Informal market transactions occur through less structured arrangements, such as verbal agreements, repeat sales without written contracts, or relationships based on trust and mutual understanding (e.g., a farmer buying inputs on credit from a local supplier based on trust worthiness, relationships built over time). **Measurement:** Tracks the number of SHFs purchasing inputs (e.g., improved breeds, fertilizers) from local suppliers. Use surveys combined with in-depth interviews with market actors and focus group discussions (FGDs) with SHFs at the start of the project to understand existing nature and levels of market transactions (both formal and informal).

Le développement de ces différents secteurs est étroitement lié à la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau (GIRE). Le cadre national et local de la GIRE est actuellement marqué par diverses difficultés qui ont entre autres des répercussions négatives sur la coordination institutionnelle des réponses aux effets du changement climatique et notamment des inondations. Le principal constat est que le manque de synergie entre les réponses au niveau national et local augmente les risques pour la viabilité des ressources en eau et compromet la fourniture de services écosystémiques par les ressources en eau pour les usagers et les générations futures. DURAGIRE fait suite au programme OmiDelta et ses activités visent à soutenir la durabilité des acquis/réalisations de OmiDelta. De ce fait, l’impact visé par le projet DURAGIRE est « l’Amélioration de la résilience des communautés du bassin de l'Ouémé face aux risques liés à l'eau, causés par les effets des précipitations saisonnières et aggravés par les impacts du changement climatique, grâce à une durabilité accrue des interventions GIRE du programme OmiDelta ».Le programme est structuré autour de 4 trajectoires de changement : 1.

Amélioration des investissements et de l'entretien/maintenance pour la durabilité des actions GIRE existantes et Nouvelles Renforcement de la durabilité et de l'efficacité du système de données et d'information pour un SAP innovant et accessibleEKN BeninSNV BeninVNG InternationalAssociation Nationale des Communes du BéninInstitut National de l'Eau, Université Abomey-Calavi, BéninPartenariat National de l'Eau du BéninEnhancing Society TogetherAkvo FoundationSNVLise FLORINCheffe de projet+2290155682828lflorin@snv.orgZone Résidentielle camp Guézo Rue n°5102, Porte n°225 | 01 BP1048 Cotonou | BéninSNVStéphane TUINANational Director SNV+2290164641665stuina@snv.orgLot 107 zone résidentielle Rue du PNUD, 01 BP 1048 Cotonou, Bénin6.4503024 2.34681956.524461199999999 2.4356966.8443596 2.08153546.7866154 2.3418876.630049499999999 2.08858536.489233500000001 2.55694366.9077493 2.45255316.583719299999999 2.55196376.4222758 2.63877956.478623799999999 2.62032126.9782324 2.59908357.0647999 2.48019897.211417 2.3409767.0447732 2.18432854031665.001700000.00Virement 1EKN BeninSNV Benin2650000.00EKN BeninSNV Benin2431905.00EKN BeninSNV Benin638292.00SNV BeninVNG International295962.42SNV BeninAssociation Nationale des Communes du Bénin2139327.00Total expenditure of the project in 2024 (including all partners)Netherlands Developement Organization NigerMesure le nombre de personnes présentant un niveau acceptable de sécurité liée à l'eau (protection contre la ressource, valorisation, préservation de la ressource) : évaluation du niveau des dommages (sur les biens, revenus et bien-être) causés par les inondations selon une échelle de gravité et évaluation de l'accès à la ressource en eau comme moyen de subsistance. DURAGIRE vise à atteindre directement et indirectement 500,000 personnes dans la BMVO. Pour l'étude de base un échantillon sera calculé en fonction des zones où le programme est susceptible d'être mis en œuvre.Nous avons dans l’ensemble de la zone du projet 42% / 1 726 272 personnes présentant un niveau acceptable de sécurité liée à l'eau (protection contre les inondations et la sécheresse, et accès à l’eau en quantité et qualité pour les moyens de subsistance) dont 155 979 dans les villages OmiDelta et 1 570 293 dans les villages Non OmiDelta. Dans cet ensemble, 826 917 sont de sexe masculin et 898 767 de sexe féminin ; 108 582 vivent avec un handicap ; 130 592 vivent en milieu urbain, 261 185 en milieu périurbain et 1 334 494 en milieu rural.Au total le projet DURAGIRE entend toucher 500 000 personnes dont 155 979 qui se trouvent déjà dans un niveau acceptable de sécurité liée à l’eau dans les villages d’action de OmiDelta. La valeur cible de l’indicateur est donc obtenue en ajoutant 500 000 personnes à la valeur de référence (1 726 272) et en retranchant les 155 979 personnes qui se trouvent déjà dans un niveau acceptable de sécurité liée à l’eau ; soit une cible de 2 070 293 personnes (53%) ayant un niveau acceptable de sécurité liée à l’eau en fin de projet dans les 14 communes d’intervention.12-03-2025: L'indicateur d'impact sera évalué en fin de projet​Mesure la mise en œuvre de la GIRE au niveau national à travers la mise en place et le fonctionnement des organes (ANBBH, DGEau etc.) de gestion concertée des ressources en eau. Les échelles de fonctionnement sont utilisées pour déterminer le niveau de mise en place et d'opérationnalisation (prise de décision, application règlementation, etc.) et de fonctionnement.​Pour la méthode de calcul initiale, l'ANBBH, le CBO, DGEau et les DDEEM étaient considérés. Tenant compte des nouvelles avancés du secteur, l'ANBBH et le CBO ne sont plus pris en compte dans le calcul. Il serait alors nécessaire de revoir la cible finale, prévue initialement (3) à la baisse.Mesure le niveau d'élaboration et d'opérationnalisation du document d'orientation sur les organes GIRE à l’échelle de la BMVO, ainsi que la mise en œuvre des nouveaux décrets y compris celui relatif à la procédure d'autorisation et de déclaration des IOTA. L'indicateur évalue les étapes clés (échelle de score) du processus, depuis l'élaboration jusqu'à la diffusion et l'opérationnalisation effective de ce document et décrets dans la BMVO.Suite aux échanges en fin d'années, certains décrets introduits ont été retirés. Cet indicateur est donc revue et la cible finale est d'au moins 2 (document élaboré, validé et diffusé) sur l'échelle de niveau d'élaboration et d'opérationnalisation du document d'orientation sur les organes GIRE, ainsi que sur la mise en œuvre des nouveaux décrets.Les activités liées au plaidoyer ont été annulées suites aux échanges avec le SGM/MEEM et le BAI /PR. Le CBO n'est pas opérationnel et la création de l'ANBBH exige l'élaboration des SDAGE des quatre ensemble hydrographiques et l'élaboration des documents d'opérationalisation de l'ANBHH. En suivant le processus, on se rend compte l'ANBBH ne pourra pas être créée avant fin 2026. Ainsi, les activités sont réorientées pour répondre aux besoins des institutions existantes.12-03-2025: Compte tenu de la courte durée du projet, cet indicateur d'impact sera renseigné en fin de projet.

Ces activités préliminaires seront réalisées en Année 1 afin de permettre la mise en place des CLE en Année 2. C'est alors à partir de l'Année 2 que cet indicateur pourra être renseigné.12-03-2025: Le niveau actuel est 0 car à ce stade, les CLE ne sont pas encore mis en place. Cependant, les activités préliminaires à la mise en place des CLE ont été réalisées. Ce niveau va évoluer avec le consensus qui est fait entre acteurs de la GIRE pour l'harmonisation de la stratégie de mise en place des CLE surtout qu'il est prévu à etre renseigné en 2025.En 2025, les 7 CLE seront officiellement mis en place et renforcés dès leur création. Des formations seront organisées pour leur permettre d’acquérir les compétences nécessaires à leur fonctionnement et à leur rôle dans la GIRE.

Du moins, ceci n’était pas inscrit dans les objectifs du projet. DURAGIRE vient donc avec cette initiative novatrice pour permettre aux CLE et comités de gestion des ouvrages/actions GIRE de disposer de ressources financières pour mener à bien leurs activités. La valeur de référence de l’indicateur est donc 0 à cette évaluation de base.Les CLE seront mis en place et accompagnés à soumettre des dossiers pour le financement d'actions GIRE en 2025.

Aussi, la majorité des activités de renforcement des capacités des CLE et communes sont prévues pour l'Année 2.12-03-2025: Il a été organisé au profit des quatorze (14) communes d'intervention des ateliers de renforcement de capacité sur la GIRE opérationnelle. Toutes les communes d'intervention ont amélioré leurs connaissances et cela a été évalué grâce à des pré et post tests. En 2025, les acquis des 14 communes seront consolidés et les 7 CLE seront également renforcés.Seules les communes étaient concernées en 2024. Aussi, les acquis des 14 communes seront consolidés. L’indicateur évoluera avec l’intégration des CLE en 2025 et passera donc à 7 CLE + 14 communes.Mesure le nombre de CLE qui ont une connaissance claire de leurs rôles et responsabilités dans la GIRELes CLE n’étant pas encore fonctionnels, la valeur à l’évaluation de base est 0.Cet indicateur est prévu être renseigné à partir de 2025.12-03-2025: Les CLE seront mis en place et renforcés en 2025. Les formations débuteront à partir de cette année, expliquant l'absence de valeur en 2024.Dès leur mise en place, les 7 CLE seront renforcés sur leurs rôles et responsabilités.

Des échelles de score sont utilisées pour déterminer le niveau de viabilité financière du système de gestion des infrastructures (caash-flow, rentabilité, endettement, etc.).La valeur générale de l’indicateur 3 est de 0 à cette évaluation de base car il n’y a pas de CLE et aucune commune n’a intégré la ligne budgétaire dans son budget annuel pour l'entretien des infrastructures de GIRE communautaire existantes. Autrement dit aucun gouvernement local à ce jour, n’a un plan d’entretien des infrastructures de GIRE au niveau communautaire.Les actions GIRE seront réalisées en 2025. Les CLE seront mis en place en 2025. Cet indicateur ne pourra être renseigné qu'à partir de 2025.12-03-2025: Les CLE et communes ne disposent pas encore de modèles de gestion des infrastructures financières viable. Néanmoins, les potentialités socio-économiques de chacune des actions GIRE confortatives et nouvelles sont en cours d'identification. Ces potentialités identifiées permettront de définir les modèles de gestion financièrement viable des infrastructures.Les potentialités socio-économiques identifiées permettront de définir les modèles de gestion financièrement viable des infrastructures en 2025. De plus, la réalisation des actions et le renforcement des organes GIRE au niveau local faciliteront l'existence et l'application de modèles de gestion des infrastructures financièrement viable pour au moins la moitié des CLE et communes.Mesure le pourcentage de CLE qui ont amélioré leur capacité à piloter et à mettre en œuvre des investissement durables dans la GIRE.​Les CLE seront mis en place, renforcés et disposeront de plans de mobilisation financier pour la réalisation des actions GIRE communautaires et leur entretien à partir de l'année 2.12-03-2025: Les CLE n'ont pas été mis en place en 2024.

While periodic data collection occurs, the full impact on income is best assessed at the project's conclusion to capture the cumulative effects of interventions.This baseline value of **0 **indicates that, prior to any project interventions the full cohort of SHFs at baseline will serve as the reference population for subsequent measurements. At Mid-Term Review and Endline, the number of SHFs who exceed a 10 % income gain relative to their individual baseline incomes (Vegetables: USD 904; Avocado: USD 111; Other fruits: USD 183) will be reported.This single baseline value of USD 1,198 represents the aggregate average income per smallholder farmer across vegetables (USD 904), avocado (USD 111) and other fruits (USD 183). It will serve as the reference point for calculating >10% income gains at both the Mid-Term Review and Endline assessments.This Outcome Tracks the growth in crop yields and overall agricultural productivity among SHFs. The outcome reflects long-term gains that develop gradually; thus, comprehensive reporting will be done at the project's end.​The baseline number of smallholder farmers (SHF) achieving any reduction in unit cost per kilogram is set at zero. The baseline average unit cost across key crops are (Cabbage 0.03; Onion 0.08; Tomato 0.03; Pepper 0.03; Mango 0.08; Papaya 0.09; Banana 0.03; Avocado 0.02). At Mid-Term Review and Endline, will report the count of SHFs who have lowered their cost per kg relative to benchmarks.Setting the baseline at zero establishes as a reference point against which all future yield gains will be measured. The crop-specific benchmarks against which gains will be measured are: Cabbage 31700 kg/ha; Onion 17800 kg/ha; Tomato 34000 kg/ha; Pepper 22300 kg/ha; Mango 24 kg/tree; Papaya 15 kg/tree; Banana 19 kg/tree; and Avocado 36 kg/tree. At Mid-Term Review and Endline, will report the number of SHFs whose yields exceed these baseline values, thereby quantifying productivity improvements attributable to project interventions.This Outcome Evaluates the enhanced role of women in household and agricultural decision-making processes. Given the sociocultural shifts required, substantial results are expected towards the end of the project.At end of the project womens particpation expected to be 30% of FFS Members(69,629). At baseline, 85 % of women were actively involved in production decisions; for food consumption choices the participation rates were 97.9 % (vegetables) and 91.1 % (fruits); and 92 % of households shared income‐use decisions on fruits and vegetables. While women participate alongside men, ultimate decision‐making authority lies with men except in consumption matters. Establishing a baseline of 59,185(85% of Targeted SHF) women provides a reference point for measuring gains in women’s decision-making influence at Mid-Term Review and Endline.​This outcome focuses on job creation within the horticulture sector. Although data can be collected annually, job growth is incremental, so the most meaningful data will be available at the project's conclusion.​​This outcome Tracks progress in gender equality and social inclusion within horticultural communities. These shifts are Gradual, requiring end-of-project analysis to measure meaningful change.​​of new FFS established & adopting proven FFS approach​30-04-2025: The project successfully established 2234 new Farmer Field Schools (FFS), Fruit Orchard Schools (FOS), and Avocado Orchard Schools (AOS) across seven regions, demonstrating significant progress in strengthening agricultural learning systems. 887 Vegetable FFS were established through collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Horti-LIFE III project, the private sector, and ATVETs. 667 Fruit Orchard Schools (FOS) were introduced to support fruit production. 670 Avocado Orchard Schools (AOS) were created to enhance avocado farming. This achievement highlights the growing commitment of key stakeholders to sustaining and expanding farmer-led learning platforms, ensuring long-term impact and resilience in the horticulture sector. These newly established schools serve as key learning hubs, equipping farmers with practical knowledge and skills to improve productivity and sustainability.​30-04-2025: The project achieved an impressive 70,248 smallholder farmer (SHF) participants in Farmer Field Schools (FFS), Fruit Orchard Schools (FOS), and Avocado Orchard Schools (AOS), surpassing the target by a significant margin. This high level of participation reflects strong engagement from smallholder farmers, driven primarily by the large-scale establishment of new FFS, AOS, and FOS platforms. A total of 2234 learning platforms (including newly established FFS and New & existing FOS, and AOS) facilitated this outreach.​30-04-2025: the project recorded 26,346 Farmer Field School (FFS) visitors attending field days, exceeding the target. This increase is attributed to the expansion of FFS, AOS, and FOS platforms, which created more opportunities for knowledge-sharing and practical demonstrations. Field days served as key events for disseminating best practices and innovations to a wider audience, contributing to increased awareness and adoption of improved agricultural techniques.Number of master trainers trained​31-03-2025: A total of 705 facilitators were trained by government master trainers under the project. These facilitators play a crucial role in supporting Farmer Field Schools (FFS), Fruit Orchard Schools (FOS), and Avocado Orchard Schools (AOS) by delivering training and guiding smallholder farmers in adopting improved agricultural practices. This effort contributes to strengthening local capacity and ensuring the sustainability of the training system.​​23-04-2025: A total of 7 Agricultural Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) institutions have been equipped with adequate staff and facilities to offer practical via student plots and gender-sensitive training across all regions in the project. These institutions play a key role in providing hands-on agricultural education and youth skill development. However, despite these improvements, further support is needed to fully enhance facilities and ensure all services are delivered effectively. Among them, MAYCHEW, ALAGE, and Sodo ATVETs are particularly reinforcing inclusive and equitable agricultural education.​30-04-2025: A total of 955 students (youth) acquired practical knowledge and skills through the program, achieving 38% of the target (2,500). While significant progress was made in equipping youth with hands-on agricultural training, the shortfall highlights the need for enhanced outreach and facility support in ATVET institutions to meet the full target. Strengthening resources and engagement strategies could further improve participation and skill development among youth in the agricultural sector.this Indicator measure the number of SHF who have adopted IPM measures​30-04-2025: The overall adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices or technologies would be measured at the end of the project​30-04-2025: No IPM protocols were developed or piloted in the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) during this period, which aligns with the target of 0.This indicator focused on number of trained Spray Service Providers (SSPs) & Kebele Pesticide Agents (KPAs)​30-04-2025: A total of 232 Spray Service Providers (SSPs) and Kebele Pesticide Agents (KPAs) were trained, surpassing the target by a significant number. In terms of regional distribution, Tigray Region accounts for approximately 23%, Oromia Region for about 23%, and Sidama Region for roughly 19%, Amhara 18%. Other regions, such as and Central Ethiopia and SWE, contributed smaller percentages. The training aimed to strengthen the capacity of these agents, ensuring effective pesticide management and improved pest control practices at the community level.This includes support from KPAs (kebele Pesticides Agents)​31-03-2025: A total of 536 farmers received expert support from the trained Spray Service Providers (SSPs) and Kebele Pesticide Agents (KPAs). This reflects the direct impact of the capacity-building efforts, where these trained agents provided essential guidance and pest control services to smallholder farmers, ensuring better pest management practices and improved crop protection at the farm level, despite this Level progress was expected at this year.​30-04-2025: A total of 280 nutrition awareness sessions have been organized through various platforms, achieving near to 60% of the annual target of 460 sessions. The delay in implementation was primarily due to the time taken to develop a new nutritional behavioral change communication stratagies (Instead of just an awareness Creation) Among the conducted sessions, the majority (around 76%) took place at Agricultural Schools (FFS/AOS/FOS), while approximately 10% were held in general schools. Additionally, about 14% of the sessions were conducted in other public spaces at the kebele level, including schools and Farmer Field Schools (FFS).​​30-04-2025: There has been no progress yet in organising broadcast campaigns, as the project won't expected this year in both the actual and target values remain at zero. However, initial steps have been taken to lay the groundwork for these activities, and implementation is expected to begin in 2025.​​30-04-2025: So far, 4,025 students and teachers have been directly reached with nutrition information through schools and other platforms, achieving 27% of the annual target of 15,000. While progress has been made, efforts need to be scaled up to ensure broader coverage and meet the target within the remaining period. Strengthening engagement strategies and leveraging additional platforms may help accelerate outreach.​30-04-2025: The final result will be measured at the end of the projectThis Indicators measure the number of of MSMEs that improved performance, in terms of (climate resilient) services/products offered to horticulture SHF, employment opportunities for SHF​​​30-04-2025: The number of agro-dealers for which a contract agreement was signed is 52,​30-04-2025: The final result will be measured at the end of the project.​31-03-2025: A total of 10 informal seed multipliers have obtained certification, exceeding the initial expectation of just 3. These individuals, who previously operated without legal recognition, can now officially engage in seed multiplication and distribution. This progress strengthens the availability of quality seeds at the local level and supports broader agricultural resilience efforts.​30-04-2025: The final result will be measured at the end of the project.​31-01-2025: No biologicals-related protocols have been tested so far under this indicator as no progress was expected this year. This remains an area for future development and implementation within the project.​30-04-2025: The final result will be measured at the end of the project.​30-01-2025: Two new woredas have established private fruit nurseries in Tigray Region, surpassing the target of zero. This development enhances local capacity for fruit seedling production and supports the sustainability of horticulture initiatives in the region and admin level.​30-01-2025: No new zones have established vegetable nurseries, as per the target for this indicator. This remains an area for improvement and focus in the coming period to enhance local vegetable seedling production.​This indicator measures the number of banks and MFIs considering offering financial products and services to SHFs. In 2023, the baseline was 0. In 2024, we aim to support 2 institutions, and by 2025, this will increase to 6. From 2026 to 2029, the annual target remains at 6, **The figures are cumulative** and reflecting sustained engagement with these institutions to enhance financial accessibility for SHFs.​30-01-2025: Three banks and one microfinance institutions (MFIs) are now considering offering financial products and services to smallholder farmers (SHFs), including loans, deposits, and insurance (credit life). This exceeds the target of two, indicating a growing recognition of the financial needs of SHFs and potential for increased financial inclusion.​30-04-2025: A total of 177 bank staff participated in various sensitisation sessions and were linked to Farmer Field Schools (FFSs), surpassing the target of 90. This indicates a strong engagement of banking staff with the FFS model, helping to enhance financial literacy and support for smallholder farmers.​30-01-2025: A total of 532 individuals have received loans, falling short of the target of 750. Among these recipients, 443 are male SHF loan recipients, and 89 are female SHF loan recipients. The distribution across different age groups and regions shows a focus on gender inclusivity and youth support. For example, in the Central Ethiopia Region, specifically in the Central Ethiopia Horticultural Zone (Butajira Cluster), in Debub Sodo Woreda, 18 male SHF recipients aged 35 or younger and 4 aged over 35 have received loans. Additionally, in Mareko Woreda, there are 18 male SHF loan recipients aged 35 or younger and 5 recipients aged over 35. Female recipients in both woredas are fewer, with a total of 2 in Mareko and none in Debub Sodo. This data highlights the project’s efforts in providing financial support to both male and female SHFs, as well as targeting youth involvement in the agricultural financing process​​29-04-2025: The total value of loans disbursed amounts to ETB 51,043,000. The breakdown across different regions is as follows: Amhara Region: ETB 2,460,000 Tigray Region: ETB 45,805,000 Oromia Region: ETB 48,000 Central Ethiopia Region: ETB 2,730,000 The loans were provided through various financial institutions, including Tseday Bank, Dedebit MFI, Omo Bank, and Sinqqee Bank. Dedebit MFI appears to be the primary institution involved, providing a significant portion of the loans in Tigray region. For currency conversion, an average exchange rate of 1 USD = 81.871 ETB was used, based on data from https://www.exchange-rates.org/exchange-rate-history/usd-etb-2024​NL-KVK-41152786-SP1899SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationBD Transitioning to sustainable urban water cycles in BangladeshThe proposed project – Transitioning to sustainable urban water cycles in Bangladesh – is designed to support cities in this challenge in close collaboration with the two responsible national divisions (the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) and the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE)). SNV takes a holistic approach for a sustainable urban water cycle in integrating water supply, sanitation, solid waste, and flood and droughts management. In the context of Bangladesh, sanitation, solid waste management, and drainage are closely intertwined but have been severely neglected compared to water supply. Therefore, the objective is to contribute to the health and wellbeing of around 1.4 million people in 12 cities and towns by increasing their access to safe, essential urban services (sanitation, solid waste, stormwater management) and by improving the cleanliness of their living environment. Moreover, the project will initiate improvements in relevant water resource management indicators at city level.SNV has been working in different regions of Bangladesh since 2006, and from 2013 our Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector has supported urban settings in southern Bangladesh in adopting the Urban Sanitation and Hygiene for Health and Development (USHHD) approach. This proposed new project builds on best practices in supporting the Government of Bangladesh to improve its urban sanitation programming and planning. For nearly a decade, SNV has contributed to a major systemic change in urban sanitation in Bangladesh, supporting the country to build an operational faecal sludge management (FSM) service in four of six targeted cities, to develop and implement national- and local-level policies, to operationalise multiple faecal sludge treatment plants (FSTPs), and to establish a new sanitation revenue stream in three cities. At the same time, however, the Government of Bangladesh has struggled to scale up urban sanitation to ensure sustainable services. Based on SNV experience in these six cities and our knowledge of the Bangladesh context, a number of pathways for change have been identified. These pivot around institutional strengthening and capacity development. This strategic project on urban water cycles in Bangladesh aims to scale up and build on this experience, firstly by expanding our activities to other cities in the country, and secondly by integrating related urban services essential for a sustainable urban water cycle. Yet this shift can only be done with the commitment and leadership of the Government of Bangladesh – in particular from the two government agencies (DPHE and LGED) responsible for supporting local governments to ensure safe urban water cycles – and by improving the infrastructure and the management of water supply, sanitation, solid waste, and stormwater municipal services through engagement with the private sector and by establishing affordable and inclusive business and financial models across Bangladesh.**Component 1. Governance, regulation, and enforcement** **IGG enabling environment topic**: Governments Advocacy/lobby; Capacity development (organisations or individuals); Policy advice; Social Inclusion; Social Inclusion. The aim for this component is to enhance governance and regulatory frameworks to facilitate city-wide inclusive and climate-resilient services in water, sanitation, and waste management. The primary focus is on supporting stakeholders at the city level, recognizing the unique dynamics of each decentralized context. The intervention strategy and activities for each city have started with a deep understanding of the legal framework and the roles and responsibilities of each service in the city, including possible subcontracting contracts or delegated management frameworks. Therefore, the Legal review study and an Institutional Analysis that is being carried out are the first two steps necessary to develop the rest of the actions. In addition, a dialogue will be maintained with relevant institutions, agencies and working groups at the national level, to clarify roles and responsibilities. Based on the outcome and impact indicators results, the second step is to develop a detailed version of the medium and long-term action plan with the main stakeholders in each city. Within the SUWC approach, we aim to achieve greater integration and coherence between different services, for example, water, solid waste, and sanitation. but this does not always lead to balanced priorities. The development of frequent meetings and tools for monitoring and following up on these issues will be a fundamental part of the project. Additionally, the interventions will be aligned with the existing planning and monitoring cycle of the city authorities so that they can connect with other relevant service plans. Across services, aligning financial flows and planning processes may also be needed. In this sense, data is important, so work will be done to promote the need for updated information with existing resources. **Component 2. Finance and Investment** **IGG enabling environment topic: Capacity development (organisations or individuals); Finance; Policy Advice.** In this component, the project will focus on building capacities and systems for sustainable cost recovery of services across the city and a sustainable urban water cycle. This involves developing actions and strategies to advocate for the approval of sanitation rates in municipal corporations and addressing financial management gaps. The focus is on implementing basic financial practices and introducing financial KPIs. In addition, it supports the development of investment plans and explores financing options, including the Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF) with whom a relationship has already been established and an agreement is expected to be signed in the coming weeks. Within the work strategy, it will focus on improving the professionalization and financial viability of urban services in sanitation and SWM. In this sense, it will be considered a first step for local authorities to understand and influence the financial health of urban services. WASH (water supply, sanitation, solid waste) in the city and ensure inclusive services. This requires knowledge and understanding, as well as some basic conditions. Within this area we analyse and will work with the authorities in the different services as subsystems with interaction points. Therefore, the objective of this component is to professionalize each of the service providers in alignment with service delivery standards and good business principles. This involves strengthening technical capabilities, as well as business-side capabilities. **Component 3. Behaviour Change** **IGG enabling environment topic: Education/knowledge/research** This component will focus on increasing consumer demand for sanitation and solid waste services and awareness on the impact of wastewater-related issues and the environment. The goal is to increase demand for these services and awareness of the impact of wastewater and environmental issues. To this end, BCC (Evidence-Based Behaviour Change) activities will be carried out based on the following strategies: Increase in demand: A brand campaign will be designed for FSM (Mechanical Septic Tank) services with the aim of promoting its use and improving the perception of these services. Reduction of illegal dumping: Awareness raising campaigns will be carried out on the importance of properly disposing of solid waste, with special emphasis on keeping drainage systems free of waste before the rainy season. Promotion of safe practices: Safe solid waste storage practices at home will be promoted, as well as safe menstrual hygiene management practices. **Component 4. Urban services provision** **IGG enabling environment topic: Social Inclusion; Capacity development; Finance Sustainability** The main objective of this component is to improve the professionalism and capacity of sanitation service providers considering national-level directives encouraging private sector participation in sanitation services. We understand that despite these directives, the limited resources and mentality of local governments have hindered the active participation of the private sector. Based on previous experiences with various business models in six cities, an informed decision-making process will be used in each city to establish the most appropriate business model for sanitation and solid waste services. These models encompass combined versus separate contracts, bundled versus disaggregated value chains, and the city division versus monopolistic approach. To this end, the development of comprehensive financial models that span 5 to 10 years will be proposed, ensuring a clear understanding of costs, revenues, and appropriate service rates. It will also be supported in the preparation of contracts and tender documents, which support cities in their engagement with the private sector, including the issuance of tenders, pre-tender meetings, evaluations, and final selections. For larger cities such as Sylhet, Rajshahi, Chapainawabganj and Khulna, the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model will be promoted through its modules and training, designed to clarify roles, responsibilities and performance objectives while mitigating the risks. risks for both service providers and the city. **Component 5. Treatment & circularity** **IGG enabling environment topic: Social Inclusion; Capacity development; Finance Sustainability** This project component takes a pragmatic approach by leveraging existing infrastructure to address sanitation and solid waste management challenges. It recognizes the need for upgrades and improvements to optimize the performance of these facilities. It strongly emphasizes capacity development and monitoring to ensure long-term sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations. The project aims to provide effective and sustainable solutions to sanitation, will develop separate strategy for the cities with and without FSTP and a separate one for cities which do not have FSTP. For solid waste management problem in the target cities by focusing on existing resources and improving their functionality. **Component 6. Floods and droughts** **IGG enabling environment topic: Climate & Environment** This component has a focus on risk reduction related to water in the urban areas of the target cities. This encompasses both reducing exposure to these risks at the city and neighbourhood level and addressing vulnerability at the household and neighbourhood’s level. On the other hand, the issue of poor drainage infrastructure will be addressed, as poor maintenance of stormwater drainage systems in cities is identified as a key contributor to water-related risks. Issues such as blockages caused by solid waste, weeds, poor condition of basic infrastructure and encroachment exacerbate flood risks. The project aims to improve and maintain the drainage network, emphasizing timely maintenance to reduce exposure to flood risks. We will seek to identify vulnerability factors. Vulnerability to water-related risks is influenced by several factors, including housing quality, access to water, toilet construction, and location within the city. Direct connection of toilets to drains is considered to potentially increase health risks during floods, while stagnant water can contribute to the emergence of disease vectors. To reduce exposure to flooding, better management of the existing drainage network and the use of traditional water bodies will be explored. The principles of the 3Rs (retention, recharge, and reuse) will be applied. Under this component, a climate mitigation study will be carried out. This study will apply the methodology of the ongoing global study on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to assess current GHGs associated with sanitation and solid waste practices and service delivery models in cities. The findings will guide recommendations for potential GHG reduction strategies to be implemented within the project.The baseline study aims to evaluate eight impact indicators plus the status of hygiene practices, and seventeen outcome indicators, which are consistent with the project's theory of change to determine the baseline status of conditions sanitation, solid waste management, greywater, floods, and droughts. The study collects qualitative data on two (2) outcome indicators related to GESI (Gender Equity and Social Inclusion). Safely Managed Sanitation (SDG 6.2.1 and IGG 3. WASH/Outcome #b): Sanitation services refer to ensuring quality on containments and management of faecal sludge from the containments used in the property, through emptying and transportation of sludge for treatment and eventual discharge or reuse. The indicator is measured through household surveys and results are based on JMP sanitation ladder. The programme collected information on safe management of faecal sludge along the sanitation service chain from the service providers and respective administrative departments. In addition, the potential impact of ground water depth and the type of soil on different types of containments. According to the JMP sanitation ladder, nearly 90% of households now enjoy improved sanitation facilities. This figure comprises 12% who share such facilities, 68% who have basic sanitation provisions, and 9% who benefit from safely managed sanitation services. Instances of open defecation are exceedingly rare, with minimal occurrences noted in Joypurhat (0.2%), Khulna (0.1%), and Shibganj (0.3%). Among these regions, Shibganj and Lalmonirhat report the highest prevalence of unimproved toilets, while City Corporations surpass Paurashavas in the prevalence of shared toilet facilities. Solid Waste Management (SDG 11.6.1): Inadequate safe storage: A significant percentage of 64% of households lack safe storage facility for solid waste. While a significant number of homes have some form of storage, these facilities are generally unsafe and do not prevent solid waste from being dumped, primarily due to wind dispersal and interference from animals and recyclers. Inadequate disposal practices: It is important to highlight that 7.6% of households do not designate any specific area for waste storage. Of this, the worrying finding is that 17% of households dispose of their waste in or along water courses and drains. This variation in disposal practices between cities suggests that recent solid waste management regulations have not been implemented uniformly at the city level. Regarding safe storage facilities, only 16% of households have safe storage facilities that effectively prevent litter caused by wind, animals, and recyclers. Segregation and collection: Approximately 44% of households engage in the practice of segregating solid waste. In addition, formal and informal collectors collect waste from 45% of households. Disposal efficiency: It is noteworthy that only 13% of households safely dispose of their solid waste on their premises or in a sanitary landfill equipped with fences.The objective of this project is to contribute to the health and wellbeing of around 1.4 million people in 12 cities by increasing their access to safe essential urban services (sanitation, solid waste, stormwater management) and by improving the cleanliness of their living environment.According to the baseline results, the reach has been determined to be 1.4 million people in 12 cities. This will ensure that 700,000 people have access to safely managed sanitation services (SMS) and 700,000 have access to safe storage and disposal of solid waste (SSW). In line with the SDGs, the project aims to sustainably improve sanitation and solid waste services for all without discrimination.SNV BangladeshAkvo FoundationSNVYemi Patricia Solorzano LeivaProject Manager01778172017syemipatricia@snv.orgBangladesh23.804093 90.41523766351975.00473536.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshNetherlands Developement Organization Niger642764.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshNetherlands Developement Organization Niger748064.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshNetherlands Developement Organization Niger1583676.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshNetherlands Developement Organization Niger1460689.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshNetherlands Developement Organization Niger​700,000 people with access to basic and safely managed sanitation (SDG 6.2.1 and IGG 3.WASH/Outcome#b) ​Measures the overall impact of sanitation interventions by tracking the number of individuals who have access to basic sanitation services that are safely managed.

Many believe that Paurashava needs to provide subsidies for a certain period. Furthermore, the absence of mechanical emptying services prevails in most cities, with only a few offering this service. Rates for such services are determined based on factors such as septic tank size, fuel costs, and labor expenses.Average: 0 / None-non-existent Relevant officials and mayors show a certain degree of familiarity with the government agencies responsible for planning and implementing sanitation and solid waste projects. In cities where UGIPIII or similar projects are not currently underway, staff knowledge of national funding streams and initiatives related to sanitation and solid waste management remains limited. This disparity in awareness underscores the pressing need for greater information dissemination and capacity-building efforts in these areas to ensure equitable access to urban development resources and opportunities in all municipalities.​This indicator recognizes that affordability plays a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to sanitation services. It highlights the need to assess the economic feasibility of sanitation solutions, particularly for low-income and marginalized populations.Average: 0 / None-non-existent The cost of emptying sanitation services varies depending on factors such as the type of service and the size of the septic tank. Typically, the initial trip costs 2,000 BDT, and subsequent trips cost 1,000 BDT in most municipal cities. Manual emptying services are predominant, and their rates depend on factors such as tank size and negotiation, averaging between BDT 4,000 and BDT 5,000 for a standard-sized tank. These fees are paid immediately after service. While monthly water bills range from BDT 300 to BDT 500, emptying services are not billed monthly. Comparatively, mechanical, and manual emptying services are expensive, exceeding average water bill costs by 5% and current rates by 10%. Emptying pit latrines, with an average fee of BDT 1,000, also poses affordability challenges due to their frequent emptying needs.This indicator recognizes that affordability plays a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to sanitation services. It highlights the need to assess the economic feasibility of sanitation solutions, particularly for low-income and marginalized populations.Average FSM services : 0.39 / None-non-existent In some cities, the authorities have assigned and granted permission to the mechanical engineering section to provide mechanical emptying service, however, this is not written or there is no documentation. Basically, they provide this service themselves. On the other hand, health workers provide service based on demand, and some have received training under the UGIP III project. As for the vacutags, this varies by city; however, they do not have sludge-cutting machines or other equipment. Manual emptying service predominates in most cities. Average SWM: 0.75 / None-non-existent The waste management (conservation department) is responsible for door-to-door collection, transportation, and disposal at the final disposal site. In some cities, the private sector collects waste from primary sources, while other cities collect it themselves. Few cities plan to involve the private sector in the future. However, in most cities there are solid waste workers who work on a temporary basis and can pay based on the contract. The municipal authority also has the necessary equipment for solid waste management. However, none of the cities have any maintenance plan.Measuring actual volume of faecal sludge emptied is complicated and prone to inaccuracies hence it is proposed to use annual use rate that measures the use of faecal sludge emptying services. The annual use rate is the degree of use of emptying services by the population, defined as- the number of the households and other premises in the city that use of emptying services in any given year divided by the target number of premises that should empty each year.To be calculated from the household survey.

It assesses the collaborative efforts and achievements of various stakeholders involved in improving the resilience and effectiveness of these sectors in the face of climate-related challenges.In Bangladesh, municipalities have established Town Level Coordination Committees (TLCCs) under the Local Government (Municipality) Act 2009, while larger cities such as Sylhet, Cumilla and Khulna have also formed Town Level Coordination Committees (CLCC). Municipal Level Coordination Committees (TLCC) are particularly active in municipalities participating in the Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (UGIP III) project led by the Local Government Engineering Division (LGED). While these committees primarily address issues related to solid waste management and drainage systems, it is worrying that sanitation issues are often left aside and not adequately discussed during their meetings.This indicator measures progress in the sustainable development of urban sanitation, solid waste management, and drainage systems in the context of the city. It assesses the collaborative efforts and achievements of various stakeholders involved in improving the resilience and effectiveness of these sectors in the face of climate-related challenges.Staff members and municipal officials have some knowledge of the Local Government Act 2009 and the Solid Waste Management Rule 2021, but their understanding of these policies is limited. While they recognize the key stakeholders responsible for sanitation and waste development, they lack detailed knowledge of their specific roles and current activities. Coordination between stakeholders is not optimal and most cities lack a monitoring system to track progress in these areas. There is also no specific strategy to address hard-to-reach areas or vulnerable populations.This indicator measures progress in the level of influence that women have in decision-making processes at the municipal or district level related to water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, and drainage services. It assesses the progress made in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment by ensuring their active participation and meaningful engagement in decision-making regarding these essential services.Average: 1/1=Incipient, emerging According to the progress scale, women were perceived to rarely participate in ward-level meetings, usually convened by the respective ward councillors. This was not a unanimous agreement between the women and Paurashava officials: one side said "yes," another side said "no," and both lack the necessary polling. However, it was understood that most of the women consulted allegedly never invited or participated in city and Paurashava level meetings, although many of them participated in meetings organized by NGOs related to health, nutrition, and sanitation, but the discussions at those meetings are barely mentioned. The issues of sanitation are rarely discussed, so they could not influence effective decision-making at the meetings organized at the city and Paurashava levels.This indicator measures progress in the level of influence that socially excluded and/or low-income groups have in decision-making processes at the municipal level related to water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, and drainage services. Evaluates the progress made in promoting social inclusion and addressing the needs and priorities of marginalized communities in decision-making on essential services.Average: 0.1 / None-non-existent People from low-income group did not participate in any of the Ward or City Corporation/ Paurashava level meetings related to sanitation. In few cases, they participated in sanitation related meetings and tried to influence decision making in favour them but still many sanitation issues remained unresolved. Voices of the low-income groups/persons are also not yet reflected in the development activities of the City Corporation/ Paurashava.Strengthened performance, integration and circularity of treatment, re-use, and recycling works.From the log at treatment plant and dumping site (if not available from household survey expressed in number of households using the service)**Volume of solid waste disposed in designated site (s):** Rajshahi City Corporation/ 110,00 (ton-annual), Khulna City Corporation/ 100,000 (ton-annual), Chapainawabgang/ 2,500 (ton-annual), Joypurhat/ 2,200 (ton-annual), Lalmonirhat/ 3,200 (ton-annual), Shibganj/ 2,000 (ton-annual). Regarding Sylhet, Bagergat, Chhatak, and Moulvibazar do not keep record. This information is collected by the person who manages the disposal of solid waste, highlighting that this is not a disaggregation and that a correlation is required with respect to the number of tons of waste generated in the cities. **Volume of faecal sludge disposed in designated site (s):** Khulna City 2000 (m3/annual), Chapinawabgang 300 (m3/annual), Joypurhat 50 (m3/annual), Lalmonirhat 60 (m3/annual), for the remaing cities do not keep record/service is not available). The results of these data only reinforce the need to work around these two issues.Progress towards minimum standards of disposal site(s) or treatment plant(s)Average: 0.16 /None-non-existent The cities where the UGIPIII is being implemented, have constructed faecal sludge treatment plant (FSTP). Those cities included Chapainawabganj, Moulvibazar, Chhatak, Joypurhat, and Lalmonirhat Paurashavas. Urban water supply and sanitation project in 23 Paurashava project supported Shibganj Paurashava to construct FSTP. In those cities, the construction has completed; however, the project has not handed over to most of the cities yet. Hence, the FSTP was not in operation at the time of the assessment. It is important to note that, where constructed, on employee has been assigned to look after the FSTP project. However, this is not documented, neither the roles nor responsibilities of that employee.More responsive strategic communication towards consumers aimed at key water and waste behaviours.This indicator measures progress in the institutionalization of evidence-based behavior change interventions (BCI). Evaluates the extent to which evidence-based approaches are integrated into the institution's structures, processes, and practices to effectively promote positive behavior change among the target population.Average: 0 / None-non-existent In all cities, regardless of their performance in other areas, there was an absence of systematic, personalised, and well-planned Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) initiatives. Some cities carried out sporadic awareness-raising efforts, but they were often ad hoc and depended on specific projects or seasonal occasions. In some cases, such as Joypurhat and Moulvibazar municipality, there were small-scale campaigns using vacutag to introduce mechanical emptying services. However, these awareness-raising activities lacked a clear focus on changing behaviours or targeting specific audiences. Most cities completely lacked a structured BCC plan or strategy.This will focus on reducing the water-related risks in the cities, primarily from floods and droughts. The project will work to reduce both exposure (at city and neighbourhood level) as well as vulnerability (at household and neighbourhood level). Water-related hazards have increased in Bangladesh due to a combination of climate change impacts, reduced water storage capacity in cities, limited recharge, and – in some places – subsidence. The poor maintenance of storm water drainage systems exacerbates exposure to water-related risks in the cities and towns in Bangladesh.Progress in the capacity for timely maintenance of (natural) drainage channels and ponds within the city.Average: 0.67 / None-non-existent When considering geographic locations, it is evident that some cities are in regions prone to both excessive rainfall and debilitating drought conditions. As for example, cities within the Sylhet division are susceptible to seasonal rainfall and flash floods, which often results in disruptions in the drainage system due to blockages, flooding and leaks. Regardless of the situation, city authorities have not appointed any specific personnel to oversee drainage, flooding and drought management. This neglect is reflected in their organisational structure, where there are no positions dedicated to these crucial tasks.This indicator aims to measure whether households faced any issues with their sanitation infrastructures during floods and/or droughts.The indicator is measured based on floods and drought modules of household survey. All the households that were not impacted by the floods and or drought events on their access to sanitation facilities are considered to have resilient sanitation infrastructure. Overall, 91% of the households had resilient sanitation infrastructure, but the numbers vary across the cities depending upon the exposure to flood and drought.NL-KVK-41152786-SP1584SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSupremeSNV is part of a consortium implementing the European Union (EU) funded Security, Protection and Economic Empowerment (SUPREME) programme co-funded by Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands (EKN), which seeks to increase access to decent employment and economic opportunities for refugees and host communities in four districts (Moyo, Obongi, Terego and Madi Okollo) in West Nile sub-region. The project targets to benefit 25,000 refugees directly and host community individuals, including 2,000 young men and women aged 18-30. SNV SUPREME component project is focused on two thematic areas: promoting opportunities for decent youth employment implemented using the Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship (YEE) approach and catalysing private sector-led sustainable and inclusive markets for agricultural value chains implemented through the Inclusive Business (IB) model. These themes are achieved through approaches proven to generate sustainable and scalable impact through SNV’s years of experience implementing similar initiatives in Uganda and other programme countries. SNV’s Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship (YEE) development strategy applies a market systems development approach: “**Push, Match, Pull, Enable” (P-M-P-E).** An inclusive business is a private sector project that benefits smallholder refugees and host-community farmer groups by creating an impact at supplier, employer, distributor, and consumer levels. The project works with and supports private sector actors to implement IB to create social and economic impact for refugees and host communities by co-investment financing and providing business development services in areas that include the smallholder refugees and host farmers in the value chains as suppliers, employers, distributors, and consumers of basic goods/services.SNV UgandaAkvo FoundationSNVAgricultureJoseph BwireProject Managerbkasekende@snv.orghttps://www.snv.org/country/ugandaSNV in Uganda Plot 36, Luthuli Rise, Bugolobi, Kampala Uganda.3.0017601 30.98763213.1568468 31.01129013.2412105 31.55127223.6527376 31.72809552.8218482 31.216846694754.00259959.00227695.00100438.00106754.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshSNV Uganda87740.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Uganda240719.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Uganda198382.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Uganda​The indicator measures the total participants that have been supported through the project and its partners.​​Young women and men who have accessed dignified employment as a result of project training opportunities.​​The indicator measures the number of saving and development cluster members supported through the project.​Indicator refers to young women and men who receive training certificates through training program supported by the project.Means proportion of targeted young women and men who complete intern- and apprenticeshipsIndicator measures the number of young people who were trained through the project.NL-KVK-41152786-SP1978SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationGO GREENLe projet Emploi et Entrepreneuriat Verts par et pour les jeunes au Mali « GO GREEN », financé par l'Ambassade du Royaume des Pays-Bas, est mis en œuvre par la SNV au Mali en partenariat avec l’APEJ, ICRA et l’Université de Ségou pour une durée de deux (02) ans.

The programme is implemented by a consortium of partners comprised of SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, Mercy Corps, TechnoServe, and Save the Children International. LIWAY aims to contribute to sustainable poverty reduction and social stability in Addis Ababa by increasing incomes through improved wage and self-employment opportunities, primarily for poor women and youth. The objective is to increase incomes of **257,000 poor people** in Addis Ababa, of which at least 128,500 (50%) are women (young and adult) and 192,750 (75%) are youth (female and male). LIWAY is implemented by a consortium of partners comprised of SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (consortium lead), Mercy Corps, TechnoServe, and Save the Children International. The programme works in four interrelated market systems, which were selected based on their relevance to poor women and youth, the opportunity for positive impact, and the feasibility of intervention. The programme works in four interrelated market systems (Labour, MSE, MLE and Skills), and together contribute to structural transformation. Each system is led by a consortium partner that works with public and private market actors to make the system work better for the target groups (Women and Youth). LIWAY applies a market system development (MSD) approach that involves identifying the root causes of market failure that disadvantage or exclude poor women and youth from wage and self-employment opportunities and identifying private companies and public institutions with the incentive and ability to deliver change.The Overall goal of the project is to contribute to sustainable poverty reduction and social stability in Addis Ababa by increasing incomes through improved wage and self-employment opportunities, primarily for poor women and youth.Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands EthiopiaSNV EthiopiaAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationAgricultureYetnayet GirmawDirector Programs and Sector Leader AgriFood+251 (0) 911868059ygirmaw@snv.orghttps://snv.orgSNV Netherlands Development Organisation Africa Avenue | Opp. Millennium Hall, Next to the new Ethiopian Airlines Skylight Hotel | P.O.

Ce sont les ménages qui ont participé aux CEAP/CEM mais aussi aux jardins de case, (si ces ménages ne sont pas déjà dans les CEAP/CEM), et tout autre ménage ayant suivi des activités de diversification / nutrition sauf dialogue familial. Pour le second indicateur, il s'agit des ménages sensibilisés individuellement ou en groupe sur la gestion de la production, la consommation, les revenus et/ou sur la commercialisation des produits agricoles et aussi la nutrition. Les doublons sont évités entre ces deux indicateurs mais certains ménages peuvent être les mêmes qu’au niveau de l’indicateur B.2.1.Nous n'avons pas calculé la baseline pour les indicateurs d'outputs, uniquement pour les indicateurs d'outcome inclus dans le cadre logique du Pro-ARIDES.​L'indicateur d'outputs du Pro-ARIDES qui permet de renseigner cet indicateur de DGIS est "Nombre de ménages AAP participants aux activités de formation sur la production résiliente au changement climatique". Ce sont les ménages qui ont participé aux activités de production champs écoles agricoles et pastorales (CEAP) ou champs écoles maraicher (CEM). Ils ont pu suivre des sensibilisations sur des technologies/pratiques résilientes au changment climatique mais aussi sur leurs parcelles, troupeaux, d'autres sources de revenus, etc. Certains ménages peuvent être les mêmes qu’au niveau de l’indicateur A.2.1.Nous n'avons pas calculé la baseline pour les indicateurs d'outputs, uniquement pour les indicateurs d'outcome inclus dans le cadre logique du Pro-ARIDES.​Ménages touchés de manière indirecte : par des campagnes de communication ou si par exemple des ménages touchés par nos activités directes touchent à leur tour d’autres ménages et qu’on peut dire combien, etc.Nous n'avons pas calculé la baseline pour les indicateurs d'outputs, uniquement pour les indicateurs d'outcome inclus dans le cadre logique du Pro-ARIDES.Pour renseigner le nombre d'hectares selon l'indicateur de DGIS, on considère le nombre de ménages touchés à l'indicateur B.2.1 que l'on multiplie par la superficie moyenne des champs des ménages indiquée dans les rapports de baseline ménages respectifs à chaque pays.Nous n'avons pas calculé la baseline pour les indicateurs d'outputs, uniquement pour les indicateurs d'outcome inclus dans le cadre logique du Pro-ARIDES.Niveau atteint a la suite de l'évaluation de performance du programmeNL-KVK-41152786-SP1678SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationIDANBâti sur une vision programmatique à long terme, et sur la base d'années d'apprentissage et d'itération au Mali et au Burkina Faso, le projet IDAN, dans la période de 2021 à 2023, facilitera l’accès à l’offre des solutions numériques de 35 000 exploitants agricoles et pastoraux (dont 15% de femmes et de jeunes) dans les régions de Tahoua, Tillabéry et Dosso du Niger, et grâce à l’interopérabilité, de 5 000 exploitants agricoles pastoraux dans l’espace transfrontalier du Liptako Gourma. L’utilisation de cette offre intégrée augmentera leurs revenus de 10% et accroîtra leur sécurité alimentaire et résilience. En s’appuyant sur un écosystème de prestataires de services divers, la mise à l’échelle et l’exploitation du service sera soutenue par un modèle d’affaires, et le développement vers sa durabilité sera facilité par un partenariat public – privé. La mise en œuvre de IDAN sera assuré par un consortium de partenaires, qui comprendra, en plus de SNV comme chef de file, Hoefsloot Spatial Solution (HSS), l’Association pour la Redynamisation de l’Élevage au Niger (AREN), le Ministère de l’Agriculture et de l’Élevage et un opérateur de téléphonie mobile. Ce dernier est à sélectionner à travers un processus ouvert et transparent. En plus de ces partenaires ayant pour mandat de contribuer au développement et à la délivrance du service, l’ouverture du partenariat à d’autres organisations et partenaires privés, tel que des fournisseurs d’intrants et de services financiers, sera envisagée au cours de la mise en œuvre. Le projet sera axé sur une approche centrée sur le marché et soutient l'expansion d'une plateforme numérique intégrée, déjà en place au Mali et au Burkina Faso. Accessible à partir des téléphones simples, la plateforme offrira un regroupement des services non-financiers (information, conseil, mise en relation) et financiers, qui sont adaptés aux besoins des ménages agro-pastoraux et à d’autres acteurs des chaînes de valeur (B2C, B2B). ​SNV est en effet convaincue que **l'innovation numérique peut révolutionner la façon dont les exploitants agricoles et pastoraux nourrissent leurs communautés** tout en renforçant la résilience dont ils ont besoin pour faire face aux chocs climatiques et aux situations d’urgence. Les partenaires publics et privés sont les mieux placés pour leur fournir des outils adaptés à leurs besoins et pour lesquels la technologie est un accélérateur essentiel. C'est pourquoi, sur la base d'années d'apprentissage et d'itération éprouvées au Mali et au Burkina Faso, nous avons construit le projet IDAN qui, au cours des trois années d’exécution prévues, facilitera l’accès de** 35.000 exploitants agricoles et pastoraux **uniquement** au Niger, dont 15% de femmes et de jeunes, **à des solutions numériques intégrées** qui augmenteront leurs revenus de 10%.** Cette nouvelle intervention permettra également d’accroître la portée _(outreach)_ des services GARBAL au Burkina Faso et au Mali pour un total de 5.000 exploitants agricoles et pastoraux supplémentaires dans un espace transfrontalier cohérent grâce à l’interopérabilité. De cette façon, des transhumants en provenance du Niger pourront avoir recours à GARBAL au Mali ou au Burkina Faso et vice-versa.Indicateur adapté Nombre et pourcentage d'agriculteurs et d'éleveurs pasteurs (hommes, femmes; jeunes) utilisant le service avec un revenu net dans les régions de Tahoua, Tillabéri et Dosso (Niger) Ménage # & % 40000 0 Nombre et pourcentage d'agriculteurs et d'éleveurs pasteurs (hommes, femmes; jeunes) utilisant le service avec des actifs accrus dans les régions de Tahoua, Tillabéri et Dosso (Niger) Ménage # & % 40000 0 Indicateur adapté Nombre et pourcentage d'agriculteurs et de d'éleveurs pasteurs (hommes, femmes; jeunes) utilisant le service qui sont devenus plus résistants au changement climatique et à d’autres chocs Ménage # & % 32000 20000 Indicateur adapté Nombre et pourcentage d'agriculteurs et d'éleveurs pasteurs (hommes, femmes; jeunes) utilisant le service avec une situation de sécurité alimentaire améliorée dans les régions de Tahoua, Tillabéri et Dosso (Niger) Ménage # & % 32000 39%_**« Accroître la résilience et la sécurité alimentaire des ménages agricoles et pastoraux par la génération de bénéfices économiques (gains de productivité, revenus) et sociaux (y compris des coûts évités) liés à l’utilisation d’une offre de solutions numériques intégrées dans un service innovant ».**_Le **groupe cible** du projet consiste en 35.000 hommes et femmes engagés dans les sous-secteurs productifs de l’agriculture, de l’élevage et du pastoralisme, ainsi que sur d’autres maillons des chaînes de valeurs (fournisseurs d’intrants, commerçants, collecteurs, transformateurs etc.) au Niger.

Il se base sur la notion de citoyenneté. Dans ce cas, l’engagement citoyen se définit comme une implication dans la vie locale pour favoriser le mieux-vivre ensemble. Cela aboutit à accepter consciemment de mettre de côté l’individuel au profit du collectif. Elle se traduit aussi par des petits gestes du quotidien pour faciliter ou améliorer la vie de ses voisins ou, encore, venir en aide aux personnes en difficultés. Il peut être aussi plus structuré via l’intégration d’une structure associative.

TIDE II is a 4 years project (1 January 2020 – 31 December 2023) and the project’s overall goal is to contribute to sustainable dairy intensification and inclusive business models, creating shared value for different actors along the dairy value chain - also expressed as sector transformation. **Specifically TIDE II is aiming at;** · Doubling incomes for 5,000 farmers (reached in TIDE 1) · Improving incomes for 2,000 new farmers (those who never benefited from TIDE I) · Creating new employment/jobs for 1,000 individuals along the dairy value chain · Contributing to improved nutrition for an additional 500,000 children in schools.EKN UgandaSNV UgandaDairy Development Authority DDAAkvo FoundationSNVTIDE IIJong, Martin deproject manager+256758389810mdejong@snv.orgSNV Uganda-0.6071596 30.65450222922962.0010462069.00EKN UgandaThis focuses on seeing farmers increase their income as a a result of milk sales**Definition:** This indicator counts farmers whose milk sales have increased as a result of TIDE II project activities. To compute the number of farmers who have increased milk sales, one has to start by determining what farmers were previously earning from milk sales(Baseline) in the past year (at individual farmer level) then minus the current total annual sales( revenue from milk sales) for the reporting years(at each individual farmer level). ++**Computation of increase in sales:**++ The Increase in sales is; Current Annual sales - Previous annual Sales Note that farmers with a negative change in sales will not be included in the count of those who have increased sales. Sales is the revenue acquired as a result of selling Milk. ++To factor in inclusiveness,++ data will be disaggregated by gender and age group of the farmers making milk sales per year. Farmers need to be profiled to provide information on their farm size- number of animals, sex, age, location among others. ++**Baseline value of milk:**++ Dry season production is 70Ltrs/day while wet season is 120ltrs/day ++Expected increase by end of project time++ is 150ltrs/day in dry season and 250ltrs per day in wet seasonFrom records of TIDE I, Dry season milk production is at 70 litres/day on average while wet season is at 120 liters/day(average). Note that the baseline value is zero for this indicator, given that the project is looking at doubling annual milk sales for all farmers under TIDE 1.Target is cumulative06-05-2022: During 2021, several farmers began selling milk through cooperatives due to the strengthened cooperatives functionality coupled with intensive investment by farmers in using improved dairy feeding practices and increasing milk prices offered by the cooperatives. As a result, this led to a 96% (1,244 farmers) achievement of the targeted (1300) farmers who increased annual sales of milk. Further analysis of the data reveals that, 54% (676) of the farmers sold milk through cooperatives and selling each litre at UGX: 1000 shilling by the end of 2021, while 36% (442) sold locally to vendors selling at UGX: 800 to 850 shillings per litre, 6% (72) to both local market and cooperatives and 4% (54) selling directly to processors. Looking at the data, by the year ending 2021, farmers were selling to cooperatives at an average of UGX: 1000 shillings per litre of milk while the year ending 2020, they sold at an average of 850 shillings per litre. Increase in annual milk sales by farmers can be attributed to the strengthened functionality of dairy cooperatives that have interested farmers to sell milk through cooperatives and the strengthened cooperation between cooperatives and processors as result of integrating a quality-based milk payment system in the structure of processors to reward cooperatives and farmers selling good quality milk.The project targets to have about 45 percent of the beneficiaries as women12-05-2023: During 2022, several farmers are selling milk through cooperatives because of the strengthened cooperatives functionality coupled with intensive investment by farmers in using improved dairy feeding practices and the consistent milk prices offered by the cooperatives. As a result, this led to a 91% (3,368 farmers) achievement of the targeted (3,700) farmers who increased annual sales of milk. Further analysis shows that 39% (1,799) cumulatively – farmers’ milk sales doubled. Additionally, review of the data reveals that 67% (2,259) of the farmers sold milk through cooperatives and selling each litre at UGX: 820 shilling averagely, while 26% (876) sold locally to vendors selling at UGX: 850 to 900 shillings per litre averagely, 4% to schools selling at 850shillings per liter and 3% to processors.

Therefore, its anticipated that 4500 farmers will have their annual sales doubled. Note that set target are cumulative Data will be disaggregated by Female and Male with a target of 20%(900 females) for female farm owners and 80%(3600 males) for male farm owners.14-10-2024: Of the 8,296 farmers (against a project target of 5,000) who made on-farm investments, 5,854 realised a 31% average annual increase in milk production. This represents the achievement of 166% of the online project target. This success is attributed to the vibrant input and output market catalysed over the past eight years. Additionally, of those farmers who realised increased milk production, 4,720 (118%) out of a target of 4,000 had a 29% increase in annual sales income, while 14% (661) doubled their milk sales.This includes incomes from farming integration (milk sales, crops, animals (cows, goats, sheep), chicken and manure sales, and sale of forage splits.Target for the period January to December 2022Target for the period January to December 202319-11-2024: 7,800 smallholder farms (52%) of 15,000 smallholder farms increased their integrated farm household incomes. On average, SHF’s incomes increased from 1,002,996 UGX at baseline to 2,198,876 UGX by the end of December 2023. This includes incomes from farming integration (milk sales, crops, animals (cows, goats, sheep), chicken and manure sales, and sale of forage splits.Target for the period January to September 202414-10-2024: No new beneficiaries (smallholder farmers) were registered in 2024This results focuses on seeing employment opportunities created as a result of the projectThis is a count of jobs created on Farms and are meaningful. For a job to be considered meaningful, the employee must be earning at least UGX: 130,000 per month as per the Uganda's minimum wage from the Uganda's employment ACT 2006. If a person is paid per day or per hour, this can be translated to either a days (4,333) or hour (541/=) pay respectively. On Farm jobs are jobs for person hired to work on an agricultural farm. This does include self-employmentAccording to the project records for TIDE I, on average employment on-farm is 3.36 persons/farm and from previous data for TIDE I these jobs are expected to double with increased awareness about value of improved farm management.Set targets are cumulative values06-05-2022: In the reporting year 2021, a total 1,022 on farm jobs were created, where 23% (233) were females and 77% (789) males. Further review of the data shows that 73% (743) are youth below the age of 30 years while 27% (280) are persons above the age of 30 years old. The success in jobs creation on farm is mainly due to the increasing need for investment on farm as well as increasing adoption of improved dairy farming practices. On average each farmers employs 3.7 persons per farm, reflecting an increase in labour needed on farm from 3.36 at baseline.Set targets are cumulative values12-05-2023: Cumulatively a total of 1,787 persons are employed on farmers and specifically in 2022, a total of 765 new persons got jobs were created, where 20% (155) females and 80% (612) males. Further review of the data shows that 66% (506) of the new person who got job are youth below the age of 30 years while 34% (259) are persons above the age of 30 years old. The success in jobs creation on farm is mainly due to the increasing need for investment on farm as well as increasing adoption of improved dairy farming practices mainly establishment of forage gardens, maize silage feeding practices among others. On average each farm is currently employing 4 persons, reflecting an increase in labour needed on farm from 3.36 at baseline.Under TIDE II, on farm jobs are expected to increase to at least 4 persons per farm with increase in engagement levels and increased milk production. Therefore, with the total of 5000 farmers expected to increase milk sales, 10% (500) of those farmers are expected to have on farm employment opportunities for 4 persons per farm working thus leading to a cumulative total of 1500 on farm jobs. Targets set are cumulative.11-11-2024: Cumulatively a total of 1,803 persons are employed on farmers, where 17% (307) are female and 83% (1496) male and on average each farm employs, 4 people on full time with the highest farm employing 13 people maximum especially farms milking more than 80 cows a day while a farm with minimum workers being 2 people. Additionally, 66% (1,190) of the persons with job are youth below the age of 30 years while 34% (613) are persons above the age of 30 years old. Most persons are employed to work as milkers, farm manager, calf workers, feed management- this includes planting of forages, making of silage among others. The success in jobs creation on farm is mainly due to the persons interests in managing forages to produce better feeds for the dry season mainly and improved management of farms in general.This is a count of jobs created off Farm and are meaning full. For a job to be considered meaningful, the employee must be earning at least UGX: 130,000 per month as per the Uganda's minimum wage from the Uganda's employment ACT 2006. If a person is paid per day or per hour, this can be translated to either a days (4,333) or hour (541) pay respectively. Off Farm jobs will be mainly come from transporters, processors, cooperatives, MCC, among others.Baseline value for off farm jobs will be defined by results of 2021 and there the increase of off jobs will commence in 2021 results. 2020 results could not be used, due to COVID-19 challenges and related lock down, most companies were not very active thus affecting jobs.Target is cumulativecumulative11-11-2024: By the end of 2023, a total of 3,201 jobs were created where 27% (864) are women and 66% (2,113) are youth.Focus is on seeing an improved nutritionThis indicator looks at the increase in the number of school children with diverse diet as a result of the school milk program. Dietary Diversity is defined as the number of different foods or food groups consumed over a given reference period. For the case of the school milk program, a diverse diet will be composed of 5 different foods in a week by student.​Target is cumulative06-05-2022: In 2021, a number of school milk program (SMP) interventions were not operational as anticipated due to the closure of schools resulting from COVID 19 challenges. However, in preparation for the schools opening, four processors (Pear Dairies, Brookside Dairy, Jesa Dairy and Vital Tomosis Dairy) have signed an MOU between SNV -TIDE II and the Government of Uganda to pilot the processor led SMP in the Uganda’s capital – Kampala metropolitan area, while TIDE II procured and distributed handing washing units to schools as a response to COVID 19 as well as schools prepare for re-opening. To accelerate SMP activities once schools are open, the Project lead the process of creating a mass campaign for school milk consumption by homes mainly target Kampala metropolitan area.Target is cumulative12-05-2023: Following the long period of lock down for schools due to COVID, engagements with schools on milk feeding were re-initiated to full capacity in 2022 after the opening of the schools and as a result, a number of school milk activities focused on orienting and training schools on the value of milk for the children as well as linking schools to potential sellers of milk such as processors and cooperatives. Therefore, the survey on this indicator will be conducted and 2023 and reported on in the same year.Target is cumulative11-05-2023: Given that school milk engagements commenced in 2022 after the opening of schools following the lock down, this indicator could not be reported on as result of needing time to ensure schools and children are fully participating in milk consumption. Therefore, this Indicator will be reported on in 2023 report, after conducting the annual survey for 2023This indicator measures the avg. amount of milk consumed per year per child participating in SMP. This is influenced by the amount of money paid by parents for children’s milk feeding at school and the milk price per litre. The more the payment for milk feeding per child and the lower the price per litre, the higher the amount of milk purchased by schools and hence the higher the amount of milk consumed by children.​Target is cumulative06-05-2022: In 2021, a number of school milk program (SMP) interventions were not operational as anticipated due to the closure of schools resulting from COVID 19 challenges.

Consumed Yoghurt was mainly supplied by the 26 small scale Yoghurt processors. Intervention Pillar 1: Dairy Farm ProductivityTarget is cumulative11-11-2024: The correct figure is 9 litres of yorghurt consumed per child per year on average (not 650) | 11-05-2023: Following the full opening of schools in Jan/Feb 2022, a total of 20,000 pupils from 60 primary schools are consuming 3,250 litres of yoghurt a week, leading to a consumption of 650 litres of Yoghurt per day for all pupils in schools. Schools are consuming Yoghurt packed in Sackets of 125mls at least once a week and each Sackets is given to a pupil at school for consumption. Consumed yoghurt is mainly bought from 20 small scale Yoghurt producers are supplying schoolsThis result is focusing on seeing dairy farmers adopting improved farm management practices that will lead to increased milk productionThis is a count of farmers that are utilizing the new farming practices for animal management on farm and climate smart Agriculture technologies. The Animal management practices to consider include; use of improved fodder, Rumen8, Pasture establishment and management among others While Climate Smart Agriculture technologies include, use of improved seeds for fodder production, improved animal seeds minimizing on enteric methane emissions, use of minimum tillage for production of fodderYear one result shall form the baselineTarget is cumulative31-01-2021: These are farmers who have applied improved feeding practices such use of improved pastures, applied CSA practices such as use of RUMEN 8 to control food rations so as to reduce on methane emissions due to foods taken by the animals.Target is cumulative06-05-2022: During 2021, TIDE project invested a lot of its resources in enabling farmers to appreciate the various technologies that would facilitate farmers increase milk production at farm as result of adopting good farm management practices. As result this led to 2,122 farmers adopting better farm management practices including CSA practices. Of those that adopted the practices, 19% are female owned farms while 81% are male owned farms. Some of the technologies adopted included use of improved pastures for animal feeding, use of fodder for animal feeding, use of silage both from fodder and maize, rainwater harvesting among others. Due to increased interest of farmers in adopt better dairy cows feeding practices, a total of 1,127 acres of land have been put under fodder (630), maize silage (180), forage production (248) and 69 under pasture improvement practices.Target is cumulative12-05-2023: During 2022, TIDE project invested a lot of its resources in enabling farmers to appreciate the various technologies that would facilitate farmers increase milk production at farm as result of adopting good farm management practices.

Some of the technologies adopted included use of improved pastures for animal feeding, use of fodder for animal feeding, use of silage both from fodder and maize, rainwater harvesting among others.Target is cumulativeResult focus is seeing farmers increase milk production as a result of TIDE II interventions on dairy farmsThis is a count of farmers who have increased milk production per season. To determine the increase in milk production, one has to aggregate the volume of milk produced per season on each individual farm. ++**Increase in Milk:**++ Increase in milk is calculated as Total volume of milk produced in the current season of the year minus total volume of milk produced in a season in the previous year. ++**Number of farmers with increase in milk production:**++ Once the increase in milk production is determined per season and at each farmer level, then sum up all farmers who have increase milk production. When collecting data for this indicator, it is important to document the number of animals one has on the farm as well.From TIDE I records farmers increased milk production to 100 litres/day(average) in dry season while in the Wet season; 170 litres/day(average) was produced. Therefore, farmers are expected to increase milk production as a result of the focus on deepening. Note the 95 value put in the baseline value is an averageTarget is cumulative31-01-2021: No activities were implemented in 2020 leading to the achievement of this Indicate due to effects of COVID 19 which slowed down planned activities for 2020. However, several foundational activities have been implemented and actual results for this Indicator will be realized in 2021.Target is cumulative06-05-2022: Milk production at farm level increased by 20% on average per day, where 4% (8) farmers increased from 0-5%, 12% (24) farmers increased from 6-10% while 82% (171) increased by more than 10%; leading to 98% (1952) farmers who increased milk production out of the targeted 2,000 farmers. Of those who increase milk production 16% (322) are female owned farms while 81% (1625) are males owned farmers. The success in increase in milk production at farm level was due to the intensive investment by the farmers to adopt improved farming technologies that boosted their milk production. Additionally, the use of RUMEN 8 to demonstrate to farmers the relevancy of efficient animal feeding enabled farmers realize increase in milk production. This increase was coupled with the strengthen cooperative movement, which has encouraged farmers to sell more milk to cooperatives, this farmer operating with an assurance that their milk has market.Target is cumulative12-05-2023: Milk production at farm level increased by 29% on average per day, where 12% (469) farmers increased between 0-5%, 3% (132) farmers increased between 6-10%, 18% (713) milk change went to minus zero, 23% (886) milk increased by more than 50% and 44% (1,701) their milk increase was between 11-50%. Of those who increase milk production in 2022, 18% (702) are female owned farms while 82% (3,200) are males owned farmers.

This led to a cumulative of 60 companies providing services to farmers in the TIDE programUnder TIDE II with the deepening agenda, companies delivering dairy services are expected to increase by a ratio of 10 companies per year to reach a total of 30 companies offering dairy services by the end of the project. Target is cumulative11-11-2024: NoneFocus is on attaining improved conditions and practices that preserve the quality of food to prevent contamination and foodborne illness hence resulting to enhanced food safetyThis indicator measures the frequency of how cooperatives and processors are rejecting raw milk due to poor milk qualityFrom TIDE 1 records, average rejection rate of raw milk by cooperatives is at 3% for cooperatives while that of processors is at 5%.Target is subtractiveTarget is subtractive12-05-2023: TIDE has been engaging processors and MMCs to empower farmers improve their quality of milk through various trainings offered mainly by Dairy Development Authority andWith the deepening activities, awareness about the quality of milk and handling practices are expected to raise thus leading to reduced reject of raw milk and this is expected to start at 40% and activity interventions will lead to a 20% reduction in the milk rejected by 2023, given that farmers will have learnt the best milk handling practices.Focus is on attaining an increase of payments for good quality milkThis indicator measures the number of bonuses paid to MCCs by the milk buyers (processors) for providing good quality milk. Bonus paid is usually the additional fee above the normal buying price of milk.Year two Results will form the baseline value for this Indicator, given that most activities leading to its achievements started in 2021.Target is cumulative12-05-2023: In the bid to improve the quality of milk supplied by the farmers, TIDE has been working with the processes to devise means of re-warding MCCs and farmers through their cooperatives to supply quality milk and as result a total of UGX 387 million was paid to MCCs and vendors to supply of quality milk. Of the monies paid UGX 80 million came from SANATOS dairies while 307 from Pearl Dairies. To reward MCCs supply quality milk is based on milk found to be above the base parameters which include; butter fat, SNF, zero added water and freshness of milk.With the awareness creation among milk buyers especially the processors, it is anticipated that a number of MCC will strive to have quality milk thus earning them bonuses and this will raise a total of 800 million cumulatively by the end of the project.11-11-2024: To improve the quality of milk supplied by the farmers, TIDE has worked with processes to devise means of re-warding farmers through their cooperatives for supplying quality milk by providing bonus incentives for every litre of quality milk supplied to the process and as result a total of UGX 978,726,040 cumulatively has been paid to 3,422 farmers from 40 cooperatives actively involved in supply of milk to processors.

The aim of the exercise was to identify MCCs that need support in improving standards.​This measures the percentage of cooperatives selling milk directly to processors. To compute this indicator, one has to determine the targeted number of cooperatives whose capacity will be developed in business development and governance by TIDE II. The targeted number will act as the denominator for cooperatives supported and expected to sell milk to processors. ++**Cooperatives to be supported under TIDE II:**++ A total of 150 cooperatives will be supported with BDS. Note that there are 200 cooperatives involved in the DVC sector according to the COOLER Census Study conducted in TIDE1. however, TIDE II will only work with 150 CooperativesRecords of TIDE I indicate that 30% of the cooperatives the project worked with were delivering milk directly to processors. And this is expected to continue with an increasing number of cooperatives.Target is cumulative06-05-2022: In 2021, 80% (120) cooperatives are delivering milk to processors, where each cooperative is currently delivering an average of 4500 litres of milk per day. The facilitated cooperatives were supported with business plans with emphasis on marketing to help in streamlining business operations, trained in price negotiations among others. Cooperatives are delivering to milk to processors such as; Pearl dairy, Amos Dairies, Brookside Dairies and Lakeside Dairy.Target is cumulativeFollowing the performance of TIDE I, it is anticipated that the number of cooperatives supplying milk directly to processors will increase to a cumulative total of 50% cooperatives by the end of TIDE II. This will greatly be influenced by the deepening activities.11-05-2023: In 2022, 94% (123) cooperatives delivered milk to processors, where 52% (68) delivered directly and 42% (55) delivered through milk transporters, while 5%(7) sold to open market and 1 cooperative closed. In 2022, a number of cooperatives have opted for delivery of milk to processors through transporters as a way of reducing on transport costs and risks associated along the way during transportation. This approach of delivery is gaining traction among cooperative, due to the benefits observed by the farmers, however, the approach still still has challenges such as lost business touch between processors and cooperatives. Therefore, as TIDE is nearing its project term, the TIDE team will focus its efforts on formalizing such initiatives to ensure, processors and cooperative stay in direct contact. Key transporters of milk include; Sibyangu, Katuuka,Jovia, Wilber and Ezra.Result focuses on seeing an increased investment in DVCThis indicator measures the total amount of money invested in the dairy value chain (DVC) by all actors involved in the sector. This indicator will track all investments made by the players in the value chain.

This message is further emphasized during the cooperative’s annual general meetings.With the150 cooperatives TIDE II is targeting to work with, a total of 130 Cooperatives will adopt and value youth and women inclusion in the cooperative leadership roles.11-11-2024: A total of 134 cooperatives out of the 150 cooperatives supported under TIDE, have integrate females and or Youth in leadership positions for cooperatives, with 48% (64) of cooperatives having females on their leadership board committee and 52% with both female and or youth. This was possible due to the supported provided to cooperatives to improve their business systems. Most support focused on trainings cooperative leaders and members in good governance and coaching, financial literacy, among others. Additionally, 44% cooperatives included a slot for having at least one Youth a member of the leadership. Most of the Youth in leadership are acting as mobilizers and procurement committer chairpersons.Focus is on seeing enhanced service models in cooperativesThis indicator measures cooperatives providing inputs and other services including extension to farmers. Input services to count include, drugs, seeds for fodder production, machinery among others while other services may include, provision of extension services, financial services among others. Therefore, to determine the percentage, a total of 150 cooperatives to be supported will be used as the denominator for the is Indicator, while those found offering services will form the numeratorIn TIDE I, literature shows that by the end of the project, 21% of the of cooperatives were providing inputs and other services such as extension to its members farmersTarget is cumulative31-01-2021: A total of 46 cooperatives signed MOUs with TIDE II and currently involved in the provision of extensional services to member farmers. This performance leads to a 31% of the target for 2020 and the performance was slightly below the target due to COVID 19 which slowed down most of the activities. However, a good foundation has been laid and a lot is expected in 2021.Target is cumulative06-05-2022: During the year a total of 120 cooperatives were supported with governance and coaching, and a results all of the 120 cooperatives have integrated at least one slot of a youth and females in the cooperative leadership positions.

Production and supply improvements for both domestic and regional fresh produce markets as well as the more high-value export markets will be covered. Whilst market-driven production and supply will be supported by HortInvest, the importance of fruit and vegetable consumption within the farm household will not be ignored. Particularly the most vulnerable farm households and the more remote villages will be targeted with nutritional awareness. The enabling environment will be strengthened, further improving the institutional arrangements and supporting policy implementation, facilitating public-private collaboration and consultation, and improving the capacities of both public and private horticultural actors. Cross-cutting issues that will be addressed as part of all project activities include gender equality, employment and income opportunities for rural youth, and the promotion of sustainable and climate resilient horticultural production and supply systems.The "Investing in Horticultural Development in Rwanda" (HortInvest) project is a four year (2018-2021) horticultural value chain project that is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Rwanda. The project support the mission of the Rwandan National Horticulture Policy in terms of fast economic growth and rapid reduction in poverty and malnutrition in Rwanda. This project is implemented by SNV (lead partner), IDH, Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Agriterra and Holland Greentech.Embassy of the Kingdome of the Netherlands in RwandaSNV RwandaSNV RwandaIDH Sustainable Trade InitiativeStichting Wageningen University and ResearchAgriterraHolland Greentech / MACAMPOAkvo FoundationSNVSNV Rwanda HortInvest ProjectGB BanjaraProject ManagerContact mobile +250785030272gbanjara@snv.orgContact mobile +250785030272-1.9440727 30.06188513966649.003976351.005856242.001383043.001383042.002859591.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in RwandaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation2830079.00SNV RwandaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation3622965.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in RwandaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation3673803.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in RwandaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation3578889.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in RwandaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation7,000 Smallholders (of which 50% women and 15% <30 years)15,000 Smallholders (of which 50% women and 15% <30 years)22,000 Smallholders (of which 50% women and 15% <30 years)EUR 15.5 Million by project ending by producers; other SMEs active in the value chain and exporters.Food groups consumed >5 (MDDW) at the project ending.

Resilience Initiative for Food Value Chains in AfricaCORE-Africa (July 2020-June 2022) helps eight DGIS-funded projects (in Et, Ke, Ug, Tz, Ma, BF, Rw, Bu) respond quickly and adequately to COVID-19 in ways that contribute to resilience beyond the immediate shock. By boosting cross-project learning, we aim to Build Back Better, Together. We address four key structural food VC/system challenges highlighted by the pandemic: 1. **Resilience in outreach of farmer inputs & services**. Due to COVID, inclusion and climate adaptation are under pressure.   2. **Resilience of the provision of nutritious food for poor urban consumers**. Has been severely impacted by the pandemic. 3. The expectations of **digital services** are high. But most business models are immature, reach is patchy and enabling environment weak. 4. **Hygiene integration** in food VCs is key to containing diseases and resilience of chains. But a very challenging domain practically and institutionally. CORE works intensively with selected knowledge partners - WUR, the Springfield Centre, Bristol University, D4Ag coalition under NFP. With them, we backstop field level projects and distil lessons. These help to sharpen strategies, methods, and practices moving forward. We also seek to use the pandemic as an opportunity to accelerate learning across individual projects on vital challenges in food VC/system development.Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationAkvo FoundationSNVJan UbelsProject Managerjubels@snv.orgParkstraat 83, 2514 JG, The Hague, NL52.0704978 4.30069993000000.003000000.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingNetherlands Developement Organization NigerMethod of measurement: Survey/focus group discussions.

SNV is the lead agency. The project goal is to contribute to enhanced resilience through enhanced food, nutrition and water security in selected ASAL counties (Laikipia, Isiolo an Samburu) in Kenya through a Nexus approach.The projects strategic objectives are: 1. Contribute to stronger institutional capacity and regulatory frameworks for planning, coordinating, and implementing resilience initiatives at county and community level; 2. Improved management of watersheds, rangelands and cropping systems at the landscape level. 3. Increased capacity of county government and private sector to boost farmer, herder and trader productivity through improved efficiencies in market and water use in livestock and crop agricultural systems; 4. The development and introduction of relevant innovations and platforms for better coordination and increased production and market efficiencies. The project is anchored on the centrality of county governments for ownership and scale and will work at the county, landscape, community and farmer level. Specifically, the project will: 1. Capacity build on existing skills and roles in county, including in coordination, and bring in lessons learned and best practices from consortium members and other sources. 2. Use the Nexus approach to provide a platform and environment for a landscape and ecosystem approach between ministries and counties based on the Ewaso Nyiro watershed, and to advocate for and catalyse action and funding within and between ministries at national and county level, and between counties. The Nexus approach will improve inter‐ministerial collaboration and strengthen coordination 3. Support the establishment and management of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Funds, plans and strategies at national and county level, which are climate‐proofed and protected from emergency spending. Involvement of local community and private sector in implementation CCAF projects will be encouraged and written into the conditions. 4. Provide technical support to county governments on water efficiency and balanced plant nutrition; on sustainable rangeland and natural resource management, ensuring private sector involvement in provision of innovative technology, business planning, linking farmers to finance and input and service suppliers, aggregation for offtake and market events. ​ ​Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands KenyaNetherlands Development OrganisationAfrican Green Revolution AllianceFrontier Counties Development CouncilAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development OrganizationAgricultureCollins AdoyoM&E Advisor+254721459939adoyoc@snv.orgP.O.

PADANE builds upon the results of the PIP approach (_plan intégré du paysan_) of the PAPAB project, aiming to reach out to 12,000 extra rural smallholders’ households in 2020. In addition, the project has four extra workstreams: inclusive value chains & inclusive finance, youth & women employment, nutrition and diets, and learning, dialogue & advocacy. The selected value chains for the PAPAB+ project are: white sorghum, sunflower, patchouli, milk, chicken and eggs, vegetables and fruits. The project emphasises the importance of synergies and complementarities. It, therefore, links up with other organisations and projects: PSSD and PAGRIS (projects of IFDC), SPARK and its Akazi Keza project, WFP, WUR and its orange knowledge programmes, and private sector actors such as Tanga oil, Rugo farm, ELAGA, Brarudi, Savonor, ANTE B.V. and Natura. ​Embassy Kingdom of the Netherlands BurundiSNV BurundiAkvo FoundationSNVAgricutureMaureen RoellProject Manager+257 71 06 90 00mroell@snv.orghttps://www.snv.orgRue des Patriotes No 5, Avenue MUYINGA | Bujumbura | Burundi-3.361378 29.35987827375000.006900000.00Embassy Kingdom of the Netherlands BurundiSNV Burundi6900000.00SNV BurundiAll national and International implementing Partners of PADANE0.00Embassy Kingdom of the Netherlands BurundiSNV Burundi30-04-2023: This is impact indicator which shall be measured in the Mid term review and enline Evaluation30-04-2023: This is impact indicator which shall be measured in the Mid term Review and Endline Evalaution23-01-2024: Most of the market actors have been supported financially rencently the turnover have not yet increase.22-01-2024: During this reporting period, we have 78 Win-Win agreement between Producer and Market actors but it will increase since the implementation is still continuing.12-05-2023: This is cumulative value of services providers12-05-2023: we started in April 2022 and it will finish in March 202330-04-2023: Not Applicable in this period30-04-2023: Not Applicable | 29-07-2022: No longer reaching Household through PIP we have changed the Approach by passing through the Comité Collinaire and develop Value chain on the colline.30-04-2023: This is a whole package of nutrition which is given per year29-07-2022: Not Applicable in this reporting period23-01-2024: Not Applicable in this reporting period30-04-2023: Not applicable this period | 29-07-2022: NotApplicable in this reporting periodNL-KVK-41152786-SP1347SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationValue Chain and Youth Development program in Cabo DelgadoRecent research and scoping in the Cabo Delgado Province indicate good opportunities in the soya beans and horticulture value chains, focussing on demand for (self-) employment, in combination with a youth employment programme, focussing specifically on the supply of (self)-employable labour. Based on the positive experiences elsewhere in Mozambique, SNV and partners propose an integrated, market based approach with strong focus on creating economic opportunities in high-potential value chains (soy beans and horticulture) and employable youth and women. The Soy and Horticulture value chains creating the ‘pull’ (demand for labour) and skills development the ‘Push’. Key to the model is the ‘match’. Mentoring and coaching at the pull stage is of pivotal importance to enable youth to sustain their (self-) employment. Soy and Horticulture will benefit from the OYE intervention and vice-versa. The current programme encompasses five interrelated interventions: (1) Opportunities for Youth Employment; (2) Soybean value chain development; (3) Horticulture Value Chain, (4) Nutrition and (5) supporting to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). ​Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV MozambiqueTechnoserveAkvo FoundationSNVAgricultureCosma TekedeseMr.+258-846386554ctekedese@snv.orgRua Travessa de Azurara, nr. 11 Bairro Sommershield, Maputo Mozambique-13.1340453 38.998105211250000.0011250000.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Maputo2150000.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Maputo1844385.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Maputo1016489.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique1021404.50Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique2116633.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique500000.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique1108658.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique1580516.68Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique1682369.00Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in MaputoSNV Mozambique02-11-2023: TNS for 2300 from soya value chain . 1652 for horticulture value chain, 400 under formal employment and 200 for informal business activities under OYE project02-11-2023: 902 sales food groceries and inputs in small shops, 412 sales horticulture,24-08-2021: Plexus Rw Machambas Covid-19 = 259 youth 91 (35%) women28-04-2021: Plexus - 281 (149 Men + 132 Women)By OLIPA-ODES24-08-2021: OLIPAEmpregue na RW Machambas03-11-2023: The 225 are from Montepuez , 224 Balama and from 223 Namuno districts.31-01-2022: Train of trainers (ToT)27-04-2023: 138 - Chefiadas por mulheres 189 - Chefiadas por homens02-11-2023: 633 for Montepuez, 622 Balama, 625 Namuno​02 were formally employed in 2 different cotton companies.OLIPA-ODES - 15 (14 M and 01 F) - New agro- enterprises OLIPA-ODES - 150 (86 M and 64 F) - Youth with new business (agro processing, commercialization and small shops.08-11-2021: 150 + 15 (300 + 30)02-11-2023: Formal job, 100, informal business 75, informal job 1652 hort, 2300 soja124 engaged in soy production (40 male and 89 female) and 291 are engaged in cotton production (16o male and 131 female).26-04-2021: With PLEXUSPlexus = 281 (149 M and 132 F) Soy Producer = 120 (42 M and 78 F)415 in contract farming and 1 with a youth-led enterpriser.08-11-2021: 14 M and 1 F (at least + 1 employee per initiative)OLIPA = 15 (14 M and 01 F)IFPELAC = 547 (308 M and 239 F)28-04-2021: Plexus | 28-04-2021: RW Machambas28-04-2021: Plexus | 28-04-2021: Rw MachambasRW and Plexus29-10-2021: PLEXUS 20 (8 homes e 12 mulheres) RW Machambas = 10 (2homes e 8 mulheres)27-04-2023: Todos os estagiarios estao na RW MachambasThe project for youth opportunities and employment under 2 value chains of horticulture and Soya crops.​28-04-2021: One Horticulture produce who is employing 10 other youths (50% women) in Nacapa, Balama.28-04-2021: Artisanal Cotton Processing Cooperative - employing 30 youth (50% women) in Nacuca, MontepuezOLIPA-ODES - 15 (14 M and 01 F) - New agro- enterprises28-04-2021: • 6 Associations were created: 3 in Namuno, 1in Balama and 2 in Montepuez) by young people in the production of Horticulture as a Business.

It hinders progress in areas such as health, education, food security and gender equality. In Mozambique, it is estimated that only 30% of the population has access to electricity leaving over 20 million people reliant on inefficient lighting and energy solutions. The Government of Mozambique is committed to reaching the [Sustainable Energy for All](https://www.seforall.org/) target of Universal Energy Access by 2030. To reach this ambitious goal, it is estimated that 373 thousand new connections per year, a more than six-fold increase from the current rate of around 60 thousand, will be required. The [Energy Africa Campaign](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/energy-africa-campaign) which aims to support African governments efforts in realising their universal energy targets recognises that to supply the vast number of off-grid households required, private sector companies, with the innovation and investment they bring, are a vital part of the solution. Embodying this vision, a 22.8 million pound programme entitled BRILHO was launched in July 2019. SNV is leading the implementation of this project with partners Practical Action Consulting and Marge. The programme which is funded by UKAID represents the United Kingdom’s commitment to the Energy Africa Campaign in Mozambique and is intended to be matched by practical government support to the off-grid energy private sector. BRILHO will target three identified inter-connected areas of energy need in Mozambique, namely improved cookstoves, solar home systems and mini-grids. BRILHO is committed to achieving the goals of the Energy Africa Compact for Mozambique. It is a comprehensive and innovative five-year programme which will support businesses and mobilise GBP 20 million in private funding.Department for International Development UKPractical Action ConsultingSNV MozambiqueMARGE: Energy, Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentAkvo Foundation-25.969248 32.573174622800000.0022800000.00Department for International Development UK16-05-2024: Female = "female customers+Other"​​​02-11-2021: off-grid market profile. | 02-11-2021: donor stakeholder mapping02-11-2021: Four (4) Studies 1 - Market demand energy assessment; 2 - Company Analytics Report 3 - Government Technical Assiatnce Analytics 4 - Private Sector Development Analytics02-11-2021: Eleven (11) meetings/events: ACE - 8 Governance Technical Assistance Sub-Coordination Group - 2 Private Sector Development Sub-Coordination Group -1 Various others with other programmes (Enabel, SAEP, etc)16-05-2024: 15 in total as per VfM of 31 od December 2021 | 07-02-2022: Eleven (11) meetings/events: ACE - 8 Governance Technical Assistance Sub-Coordination Group - 2 Private Sector Development Sub-Coordination Group -1 Various others with other programmes (Enabel, SAEP, etc)16-05-2022: Three (3) specific regulations: focusing on concessions, tariffs and fiscal incentives,16-05-2024: in total 8 green mini-grid companies have been introduced to FUNAE, supporting their understanding on the minimum regulations for an investment decision to build and operate mini-grids in Mozambique.NL-KVK-41152786-SP1262SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSustainable Technology Adaptation for Mali's PastoralistsSTAMP+ aims to improve resilience among climate affected pastoralists, through access to and use of geo-satellite and ground derived data. The information is provided by USSD messages and a call center. It gives pastoralists improved decision making security for their seasonal livestock movements. In addition advise on livestock production is provided and access to financial services and business to business linkages are facilitated**Livestock for Livelihoods** As part of the strengthening of the STAMP + project in the regions of Gao, Ménaka, Mopti, Timbuktu and Kidal for the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021, SNV Mali has developed a proposal that has been approved by the donor: the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The STAMP+ project is implemented as part of a public-private partnership involving several partners, including SNV, ORANGE Mali, Hoefsloot Spatial Solutions (HSS), TASSAGHT and the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries. Since its launch in November 2017 till end of the year 2018, the GARBAL service initiated as part of STAMP (the first phase) has recorded 1,307 calls and 84,816 USSD requests from 55,821 users (93% male and 7% female), a result that reflects the interest in this service and its active use. The main objective of the project is to strengthen the resilience of (agro-)pastoralist and improve the efficiency of the livestock value chain in the regions of Gao, Ménaka, Kidal, Timbuktu and Mopti by generating economic and social benefits (including avoided costs), induced by the use of an appropriate M-Agri solution offering integrated services. Improved access to useful decision-making information for mobility, advice on pastoral exploitation (production, animal health, etc.) and the resources needed (inputs & finance) for better livestock management makes it possible to achieve the following specific objectives by 2021: (i) Improved access to advice, inputs and financial resources; (ii) Improvement of income from the sale of livestock products and/or livestock productivity; (iii) Achieve institutional and financial viability for the sustainability of the GARBAL solution. In addition, during the final evaluation of the STAMP project, it was noted that women's use of the service was very modest. To change this situation STAMP+ aims to better target women and youth in order to encourage their increased use of the service. Finally, a baseline study will be carried out at the start of the project. A endline study as part of the final evaluation will take place at the end of the Project. Particular attention will be paid on validating the attribution of measured changes of outcome indicators to service use; the causal link between service use, the frequency of service use. The measurement of changes observed at the level of pastoral production units will be further developed. The security situation has further deteriorated in the first quarter of 2020 and notably in the Mopti Region. The Project had difficulties to reach some areas which is a major obstacle at a stage were the user group has to be informed about our products and collectors to be put at work. The measures taken to control the spread of the Corona Virus are further slowing down activities which need travel and meetings. The Project has to adapt to the situation by adopting protective measures, by re-planing activities and by changing ways of implementation. **Summary of the evolution of STAMP+ activities: 1st Quarter 2020** The first quarter of 2020 saw the restitution, finalisation and acceptance of the gender strategy study. The results have now to be integrated into the overall Project designe and planning. The baseline study is underway. The field work has been finalised for Gao, Meneka and Kidal regions. For Mopti and Tombouctou regions, finding consultants has taken more time than anticipated as suitable consultants accepting our conditions could not be found with the first round of tendering. The consultant is now identified and should undertake data collection in April. The study should thus be ready in Mai. The Terms of Reference for the feasibility study have been finalized and an international tender put out in March. We hope to start undertaking the study from Mai on. The study is looking into our sustainable business model, updating it to take into account recent developments. Based on a needs assessment, the study also aims to identify and develop technologies and approaches with regard to financial products, business to business platforms and USSD client journeys. The study should also produce advice with regard to the marketing of the GARBAL and other services of the Project. This quarter the Project has updated its communication strategy, taking into account a fast changing environment and notably an aggravated security context and Corona virus impacts. Data collection continues with the 16 existing collection sites and the Garbal Map sites are regularly updated. However we are having again technical issues on updating the USSD messaging service. The SNV and TASSAGHT Project teams are working with ORANGE to solve the issue. All new Sites and Collectors have finally been identified (there were some corrections to be made) and the data transmitted to ORANGE. The new sites have all been put on the GARBAL Web map page by HSS. The collectors smartphones are with our partner ORANGE to install the application for field data collection. The development of Satellite based technology continues. Unfortunately we had to drop our plan to make use of the IGNITIA company produced rainfall data. In view of our sustainability objective the proposal made by the company has simply be to expensive. We continue looking for other and possibly free ware options. We continued looking into the option of developing satellite imagery derived soil humidity maps for biomass development forecasting technology. However the first results show that the matter is not straight forward. Several factors play a role for the development of biomass (pasture) and the subject is more complex than anticipated. To produce a result having an added value for pastoralists would need significant research and development efforts with an uncertain outcome. We have thus put a hold on further development for the time being, but keep an eye on sector developments of this technology. The development of automatized satellite imagery derived land-use mapping continues. We have been able to get free high resolution maps from World Food Programm in Mali, permitting us to develop quite accurate algorithms. We think that this rainy season we should have the product ready for Niafounke and Mopti areas. The maps should show where fields are and thus help pastoralist to avoid them when planning for their seasonal transhumance journey and destination area. We have also added long term data on the evolution of cereal and livestock prices on our GARBAL Web map page. This allows site visitors to look for historic long term trends and to call center advisors to share this information with users. The HSS Technical advisor undertook a technical mission to Mali in order to exchange with technical staff from other consortium Members and WFP. He used the opportunity to hold different training sessions for STAMP + staff and partner organisations on the technology of Garbal, land-use mapping and digital cartography With regard to pastoral infrastructure data to be added to our GARBAL map and thus advisory service the Mali Institute of Geography (IGM) and the National Water Directorate (DNH) have been identified as data providers and data collection Partners. The Data will be put on the map by HSS. IER, the Institute of Rural Economy, has been selected to assist the Project with the collection of technical sheets of livestock production advice. However, due to measures taken to control the spread of the Corona Virus they have declined to work at this time. With regard to the security situation we are having increased consultation with local authorities, resource people and other field projects as well as INSO in order to find ways and means to implement our activities with an acceptable risk level. INSO has to this end produced an analysis. The advice provided can be summed up as: collectas much as possible information before moving or choosing an intervention area and get yourself known (maximum transparency and information of all stakeholder about the goals of the Project). This means one has to move at the speed permitted by security concerns (no precipitation) and being flexible with regard where and how to implement. With regard to Governments measures taken to contain the Corona Virus we started adaptive planning. The underlying assumption is that the measures taken by governments will stay as they are till end of June 2020. Under this assumption re-planing is mainly going in the direction of delaying certain activities which need meetings and travel and to switch to more virtual communication. Second we will work more in smaller groups and work more in a cascading way. Third there is a need for protective gear against Virus infections and there have to be new activities to inform staff and target groups about the Virus and how to avoid getting infected. Under the assumption stated this will not cause major changes of program but will slow down and delay them. Should the measures taken become more restrictive or will be kept in place for a longer period than more significant adaptation planning has to be considered. In terms of priorities for the 2nd quarter of 2020, particular attention will be paid to the following activities: (i) the start of data collection on all new sites as well as the dissemination of the data (ii) the training of the new field data collectors and supervisors, and the continuation of information campaigns at the project site level, (iii) the continuation of the information campaign activities of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, (iv) the finalisation of the Baseline Study, (v) the operationalisation of the project's gender strategy , (vi) the test/adaptation of the new maps based on satellite imagery (vii) Continue the collection of production system and infrastructure data(viii) the selection of the feasibility study consultant and the start of the study.The services are offered over simple mobile phones against a modest fee to subscribers per request to a Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) menu for livestock and cereal prices. The mobile platform and call centre is owned and run by ORANGE Mali, who exploits it commercially. The satellite data are processed and stored by Hoefsloot Spatial Solutions (HSS). SNV and Tassaght ensure that the information format matches perfectly with the pastoralists realities, needs and aspirations, and ensure the field data collection on biomass quality, herd concentration and market prices. Revenues generated from the Garbal infromation service by the financial and Business to Business products should cover costs at the end of the Project. ​At the end of the project phase, it is expected that an additional 45,000 pastoralists will use the GARBAL information services, having improved access to advice, inputs and financial resources, an increase income due to sales and improved productivity of their livestock. And finally the Information service should by 2021 reach financial and institutional sustainability.The direct Target group are Towards the end of the project period, an additional 45,000 pastoralists will regularly use the information service the regions of Gao, Ménaka, Mopti, Tombouctou and Kidal/ Mali. At the end of the Project, the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in this regions will see their: - 10% improved access to advisory services, inputs and financial resources for 45000 service users - livestock productivity improved by 10% - income from livestock sales increased by 10%EKN MaliSNV MaliOrange MalíTassaght MaliSNV MaliHoefsloot Spatial SolutionsAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development Organisation Rue 17 Porte 305 Badalabougou Est | B.P 2220 Bamako | MaliAgricultureVéronique SAMAKESTAMP+ Project Manager(+223) 76 48 69 97vsamake@snv.orgSNV Netherlands Development Organisation Rue 17 Porte 305 Badalabougou Est | B.P 2220 Bamako | Mali12.623275 -7.9847083331770.002145504.002048400.003039075.00EKN MaliSNV Mali2953477.00EKN MaliSNV Mali1533122.00EKN MaliSNV Mali3039075.00EKN MaliSNV Mali2953477.00EKN MaliSNV Mali1156838.00EKN MaliSNV MaliProductivité accrue (plus résiliente) pour les pasteurs et agropasteursIl s'agit du nombre cumulé de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui à travers l’utilisation du service garbal ont amélioré leur rendement agricole (quantité/surface) et/ou la productivité animale (taux de naissance(nombre de naissances/taille du troupeau), production laitière(Litre/jour/taille du troupeau), baisse du taux de mortalité(nombre de morts/taille du troupeau)​24-03-2025: 38500 (116%) des pasteurs et agropasteurs dont 19% représenté par les femmes ont réussi à augmenter leur productivité à grâce à la combinaison de divers actions, notamment la mise en application de bonnes pratiques culturales et pastorales à travers les conseils fournis par le service Garbal, l’accès et l’utilisation des informations pertinentes, telles que les prix sur le marché, la disponibilité des données satellitaire (biomasse et les eaux de surface) et les informations météorologiques.08-08-2024: L'indicateur sera évalué lors de l'évaluation finale des indicateurs du projetIl s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui ont, à partir des informations et conseils fournis par le service garbal, mis en oeuvre au moins 2 pratiques pastorales et/ou agropastorales pour l'amélioration de leur activité.​24-03-2025: L'évaluation finale montre des progrès significatifs en matière d'adoption des bonnes pratiques de conservation des eaux et des sols par rapport à l'évaluation de base. La proportion de ménages n'appliquant aucune pratique a chuté de 45 % à 29,72 %, ce qui indique une amélioration nette de l'accès à l'information et des conseils fournis par Garbal.

Au total 11942 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont eu accès au conseils de Garbal, dont 36% de femme. | 08-08-2024: 2483 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont reçu des conseils dont 388 femmes, il est à noter que les aspects liées à l'embouche restent les plus sollicités. | 02-05-2024: Un total de 732 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont appelé le service pour avoir des conseils. En plus des curricula en pastoralisme, le projet a développé en collaboration avec les services technique de l'État des conseils en matière d'agriculture pour aider la population a mieux développer leur activité. Les conseils qui sont majoritairement demandés sont, entre autres, les techniques pour faire de l'embouche (bovine et ovine), de la culture maraichère avec diverses spéculations.Il s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui ont demandé des informations sur la météo via le centre d'appel GARBAL27-06-2023: Au cours de l'année, 555 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont appelé le service pour avoir accès aux informations sur la matéologies. | 27-06-2023: Au total 555 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont demandé et ont eu accès aux informations métrologique | 27-06-2023: Au cours de la période 555 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont eu accès aux informations météo à travers le centre d'appel du service garbal | 24-04-2023: Au cours de 2022 356 personnes (pasteurs et agropasteurs ont appelé le service pour avoir les informations sur la météo08-04-2024: L'information par rapport à la météo a été demandée par 1303 utilisateurs, surtout au moment de la saison des pluies entre juin et septembre pour avoir accès aux données sur la pluviométrie et autres phénomènes agrométéorologiques notamment, le début et la fin de saison, les dates de semis, les poches de sécheresse.24-03-2025: Selon les données de la base fournie par Orange, 10588 utilisateurs du service ont eu accès à des informations météorologiques via le service Garbal, soit 32% (3433) de femme. | 08-08-2024: En Q2. avec le début de l'hivernage le nombre de demande par rapport aux informations météo commence à augmenter, au total pendant la période 1150 personnes ont appelé le service pour avoir des informations sur la pluviométrie, en majeur partie pour connaitre le début de la saison des pluies et quant est ce qu'il faut commencer les semis. Parmi eux, il y a 540 femmes. A partir du mois de juillet et ce jusqu'en fin septembre, ce chiffre doit connaitre une grande augmentation en raison des activités agricoles. | 02-05-2024: Les informations météorologiques sont utilisées dans la plupart du temps pendant la saison des pluies qui se situe entre juin et septembre, cela explique le faible nombre d'utilisations du produit en cette période, ou seulement 50 appels relatifs aux informations météo ont été effectués.Il s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui ont demandé des informations satélitaires via le centre d'appel GARBAL27-06-2023: Au cours de l'année 2022, 314 pasteurs et agropasteurs dont 23 femmes et 291 hommes ont eu accès aux informations portant sur la biomasse, les eaux de surface, les points d'eaux et l'occupation du sol24-01-2024: De juillet à décembre 2023, 2115 pasteurs ont eu accès aux informations satellitaires. Les éleveurs pasteurs ont besoin d’informations fiables et à jour sur la qualité et disponibilité de l’eau et des pâturages pour prendre des décisions pour la bonne la gestion de leurs exploitations et, ainsi atténuer leur exposition aux chocs tels (les vols des troupeaux, la disponibilité de biomasse et eau…) ce qui devrait aboutir à une amélioration de leur revenus.08-08-2024: En Q2. 1085 personnes ont accédé aux informations relatives à la Biomasse. Ils sont en totalité des pasteurs et des hommes. | 02-05-2024: Au total, 646 pasteurs ont utilisé le service pour avoir accès aux informations sur la biomasse (sources d'eau, fourrage, concentration des bétails) l'ensemble de ses informations aident les pasteurs dans la prise de décision pour offrir de meilleures alimentations à leurs bétails.La résilience à travers l'augmentation des revenus et des actifs pour les pasteurs et les agropasteurs, y compris les femmes et les jeunes, est améliorée dans les régions du Mali et dans un espace cohérent transfrontalier du Burkina Faso, du Mali et du NigerIl s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui à travers l’utilisation du service garbal sont parvenus à augmenter leurs revenus nets (agricole et pastorale) d'au moins 10% en 2024. (indicateur DGIS B.1.1)Most of the projects and corresponding partnerships have been formed under the STAMP project, with previous results. In addition, most projects require initial technical development and have obtained the support and commitment of relevant stakeholders before real results can be achieved. As a result, most projects do not begin to produce significant results until the third year of operation.​24-03-2025: Sur une cible de 25 000 pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes, jeunes) 26 950 ont pu accroitre d’au moins 10% leur revenu moyen net dans les régions de Gao, Ménaka, Tombouctou, Kidal, Mopti, Sikasso, San, soit un taux de 108%. Selon les résultats de l’analyse de l’évaluation finale du projet, les pasteurs ont un revenu plus élevé que celui des agropasteurs et agriculteurs. Ils gagnent en moyenne 1 087 396 FCFA par adulte et par an. Cependant, il a été observé une augmentation de l’ensemble des revenus des différentes couches comparativement aux résultats de l’évaluation de base, cela pourrait être dû à la mise en pratique des conseils et informations donnés par le service Garbal, comme exemple nous avons l’intensification chez les agriculteurs des pratiques utilisant des techniques améliorées comme l'irrigation, les engrais, les pesticides, ou des semences sélectionnées particulièrement dans les régions de Ségou, Sikasso et Mopti.Il s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui à travers l’utilisation du service garbal sont parvenus à reduire leur perte (Morts, vol, don)Most of the projects and corresponding partnerships have been formed under the STAMP project, with previous results. In addition, most projects require initial technical development and have obtained the support and commitment of relevant stakeholders before real results can be achieved. As a result, most projects do not begin to produce significant results until the third year of operation.At the end of the three-year extension phase of the project (2019 - 2021), an additional 45,000 pastoralists are expected to use the GARBAL information service to reduce livestock mortality by 10%, increase productivity by 10% and increase income by 15%.24-03-2025: Il est à noter que différentes causes de perte d’animaux, révélées par l’évaluation, incluent le manque de pâturage et de nourriture, qui affecte en moyenne 24,91 % des ménages enquêtés, et 82 % des ménages vivant dans les régions arides telles que Gao, Ménaka et Kidal. Le manque d’eau est également un facteur significatif, touchant 27 % des ménages en moyenne et 52 % dans les zones arides. Le troisième facteur mentionné concerne les épidémies et les maladies, qui sont considérées comme très importantes par 44,84 % des ménages. Ainsi, les informations fournies par le service Garbal sur la biomasse et la disponibilité des eaux de surface, en plus des conseils fournis par le centre d’appel en matière de santé animale, constituent des éléments essentiels ayant contribué à la réduction des pertes d’animaux dans les zones couvertes par le projet.Il s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui à travers l’utilisation du service garbal ont adopté (application de façon repetive dans la durée) des pratiques qui montrent leur adaptation au changement climatique.Opportunités d'affaire diversifiées pour les pasteurs, agropasteurs et les entreprisesIl s'agit du nombre cumulé de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui à travers l’utilisation du service garbal ont augmenté leur transaction commerciale (vente, achat, accès aux produits financiers)24-03-2025: Nombre de pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes ; jeunes) qui ont augmenté leurs transactions commerciales grâce à l’utilisation du service GARBAL (marché)08-04-2024: La mise en place de la marketplace est l’un des défis significatifs du projet STAMP+, son développement a connu un sérieux retard de la part du partenaire Orange. A la suite de plusieurs échanges avec ledit partenaire, il a été convenu du développement de la marketplace de la plateforme Mali Sugu (actuel Max It). Le premier design validé à Orange Mali marque une étape importante du processus d’élaboration. Dans le cadre de l'optimisation et l'adaptation de technologies aux besoins spécifiques des pasteurs et agropasteurs, une phase d'étude complémentaire a été entreprise. Cette étude, axée sur la cartographie des acteurs clés et l'analyse de leurs besoins, a été réalisée au cours de l'année 2023. Les résultats obtenus constituent une ressource précieuse, non seulement pour l'ajustement de l’approche de mise en relation et d'échange, mais aussi pour le développement durable des affaires au sein de l'écosystème ciblé.24-03-2025: Dans le cadre de la collaboration avec Orange, la marketplace a été développée et intégrée à l’environnement de Max-It. Deux tests ont été réalisés pour valider la plateforme : le premier avec le conseiller en économie numérique, afin d’assurer la conformité avec les spécifications définies dans le cahier des charges, proposé dans l’étude de cartographie des acteurs et de leurs besoins, réalisée par le projet au cours de l’année 2024 ; le deuxième test a été effectué avec un acteur pilote intervenant dans la filière aliment bétail (COPRAVE à Ségou). Ce second test a permis de recueillir des spécifications à prendre en compte dans ce domaine. La marketplace est désormais déployée dans l’univers max It, et l’enrôlement des acteurs (vendeurs) est en cours. Les transactions commerciales sur la marketplace débuteront une fois après l'enrôlement des acteurs (vendeurs). | 08-08-2024: Cette transaction se fait à travers la marketplace non encore mis en place par le partenaire Orange, en dépit des efforts fournis par SNVIl s'agit du nombre cumulé d'entreprises qui à travers l’utilisation du service garbal ont augmenté leur transaction commerciale (vente, achat, accès aux produits financiers)24-03-2025: L'enrôlement des acteurs est en cours | 08-08-2024: La transaction des entreprises se fera à travers la marketplace non encore mis en place par le partenaire Orange, le partenaire de téléphonie mobile, cela en dépit des efforts fournis par SNV.Il s'agtit du mombre d'opérations d'achat et de vente réalisées via la marketplace24-03-2025: Les transactions commerciales sur la marketplace débuteront une fois après l'enrôlement complet des acteurs (vendeurs). | 08-08-2024: La transaction commerciale est mesurée à travers l'utilisation de la marketplace non encore mis en place par le partenaire Orange, en dépit des efforts fournis par SNV24-03-2025: Les données spécifiques sur les éleveurs et agropasteurs ayant vendu des intrants via le service GARBAL ne sont pas encore disponibles, car la marketplace est encore en phase d'enrôlement des acteurs.24-03-2025: Les données spécifiques sur les éleveurs et agropasteurs ayant acheté ou vendu des intrants via le service GARBAL ne sont pas encore disponibles, car la marketplace est encore en phase d'enrôlement des acteurs.24-03-2025: Le projet a organisé quatre ateliers de concertation régionaux, visant à renforcer les capacités des exploitants pastoraux et agropastoraux des zones d’intervention. L’objectif était de les familiariser avec les produits d’assurance et de leur expliquer comment ces produits peuvent soutenir leur résilience face aux risques climatiques et économiques. Après cette mise en relation, des échanges sont en cours entre les assureurs et les pasteurs et agropasteurs pour leur adhésion. | 08-08-2024: La marketplace n'est pas encore mis en place par le partenaire de téléphonie en dépit des efforts déployés par SNVDurabilité renforcée à l'échelle de services numériques dédiés aux exploitants pastoraux et agropastorauxIl s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et d'agropasteurs du Niger et du Burkina (numero etrangers) qui ont accedé au service GARBAL du Mali08-08-2024: A la suite des échanges avec les opérateurs de téléphonies mobile du Mali (Orange) et du Niger (Airtel) il s'avère que l’interopérabilité appelle à une harmonisation des tarifications au-delà des frontières et au respect des réglementations en vigueur, toute chose qui nécessiterait plus de temps en échanges et de ressources humaines et financières à engager. La proposition du moment est de synchroniser les trois plateformes de Garbal, une formule plus simple et plus consensuelle pour prendre en compte l’interconnectivité, il s'agit de la connexion des informations des trois plateformes des trois pays (Mali, Burkina et Niger ) plutôt que l’interopérabilité.Il s'agit du nombre d'utilisateurs uniques du service GARBAL par année27-06-2023: Au total 4104 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont appelé au niveau centre du service garbal pour avoir des informations sur le prix du marché, la biomasse, les conseils pastoraux et ou l'information sur la météo. | 27-06-2023: Au total 4104 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont appelé le service pour accéder aux informations sur le prix sur marché, les informations météo, satellitaires et les conseils. | 24-04-2023: Au total 203 personnes ont utilisé le service pour avoir accès aux informations satellitaires à savoir, la biomasse, les points d'eau et les eaux de surface)24-03-2025: Au cours de la période 58753 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont utilisé le service Garbal. Cette augmentation très significative fait suite à toutes les stratégies mises en place en 2023 et renforcées en 2024 pour favoriser une utilisation accrue du service Garbal. Le taux d'utilisation du service par les femmes à également connu une nette amélioration, au total 26736, soit 45,5% de femmes ont utilisé le service. | 08-08-2024: En Q2, le nombre d'utilisateur du service a connu une grande augmentation grâce à l'extension du service vers le sud et la redynamisation des activités de mobilisation à travers l'actualisation du guide d'animation, la fixation de résultats chiffrés pour les partenaires en charge de la mobilisation. Au total 7533 personnes ont utilisé le service durant la période. | 29-04-2024: Au cours des trois premiers mois de l'année 2024, le service à enregistré 5566 appels dont 350 réalisés par les femmes. Nous constatons une augmentation significative du niveau d'utilisation du service, car en 2022 durant toute l'année le service à enregistré moins, 5O10 appels. Ce résultat s'explique par la grande mobilisation actuelle faite autour du projet et son extension vers les zones du sudIl s'agit du nombre de pasteurs et d'agropasteurs qui ont utilisé au moins deux le service GARBAL au cours d'une année27-06-2023: Au cours de la période, 2491 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont utilisé le service au moins deux fois et ou plus. | 27-06-2023: Au cours de la période au moins 2491 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont utilisé le service garbal plus d'une fois. | 27-06-2023: Au cours du premier trimestre 2023, 151 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont reçu des informations satellitaires ( biomasse, points d'eau et eaux de surface)27-06-2023: Au cours du premier trimestre 2023, 151 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont accédé aux informations satellitaires (la biomasse, les points d'eau et les eaux de surface)08-08-2024: 6241 pasteurs et agropasteurs ont utilisé le service plus d'une fois au cours du deuxième trimestre, cela montre la pertinence des informations fournis par le service Garbal et l'intérêts des utilisateurs pour Garbal.Revenus (chiffres d'affaires) d'exploitation générés par les solutions numériques du service GARBAL au Mali08-08-2024: le chiffre d'affaire généré en 2023 est 37 000 000 millions de FCFA soit (54 723 euro)Coûts opérationnels liés à l'exploitation couverts par le total des revenus pour le service GARBAL exploité dans les régions d'intervention du projet au Mali24-03-2025: L’analyse de la couverture des coûts de fonctionnement se fera à la suite de l'enrôlement complet des acteurs et de l’effectivité des transactions.Seuil de rentabilité du modèle d'affaire du service GARBAL24-03-2025: Le seuil de rentabilité du modèle d'affaires dépendra de l'enrôlement complet des acteurs, du volume des transactions commerciales et de l'adhésion des utilisateurs.Pourcentage de satisfaction des pasteurs et agropasteurs (hommes, femmes; jeunes) utilisant le service GARBAL24-01-2024: Une enquête de satisfaction a été réalisée en décembre 2023, selon les résultats de l'enquête 97,5% des utilisateurs du service se disent satisfait de l'utilisation du service, parmi les raisons de leur satisfaction nous avons entre autre:  Disponibilité et fiabilité des informations sur la pluviométrie, les prix des céréales, des animaux, les points d'eau et de la biomasse,  Plus de déplacements contraignants pour aller chercher des informations sur les prix du marché ou sur la biomasse,  Facilité de confier son bétail à une autre personne pour aller vendre au marché ou pour aller acheter des céréales en raison de la connaissance du prix du marché,  Disponibilité des Conseils pratiques pour exercer l'embouche  Accroissement de l’effectif du cheptel, grâce à l'accès à la biomasse et augmentation des revenus  Disponibilité de plusieurs langues au niveau du centre et courtoisie des téléconseillers  Amélioration des conditions de vie des animaux  Achat des animaux sur le marché le moins cher08-08-2024: Le niveau de satisfaction de chaque utilisateur est demandé à la fin de son appel. Selon donc cette base de l'opérateur de téléphonie mobile, 98% des utilisateurs sont totalement satisfaits du service Garbal.NL-KVK-41152786-SP1375SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationHorti-LIFE IIThe horticultural sector is crucial for rural economic growth and for improving diet diversity in Ethiopia. Unfortunately, the sector is performing less than in other agricultural sectors. Despite considerable investment in infrastructure yields are stagnating or even declining over the last decade. The main limiting factors are poor access to high-quality seeds and pesticides, knowledge and skills and to horticultural loans. As the first phase of Horti-LIFE successfully piloted with Farmers Field School (FFSs), Spray Service Providers (SSPs) and support to A-TVETs, the second phase will focus on scaling up and institutionalizing these experiences. Two new activities will be added: onions and potato seed multiplication and providing horticultural loans to smallholders. The work with FFSs will be expanded with fruit crops. The target group will be enlarged as well. Next to semi-commercial smallholders, subsistence families with limited access to markets will be supported to increase the productivity and diversity of their home gardens. This will be done via nutrition- and gender-sensitive Households Action Plans. The geographical coverage will be expanded to from 27 to 44 woreda in 14 clusters: Hawassa (3 woreda), Arba Minch (3), Silte (3), Butajira (3), Zway (3), Bora (3), Lume (3), Becho (3), Merawi (4), Fogera (3), Weldya (4), Kombolcha (3), Raya (2) and Axum (4). The Key outcomes will help to increase the income of 5.7 million USD p.a. for 100,000 men & women horticultural smallholders (representing an RoI of 27% on the budget for farmers and companies), to increase horticultural productivity (with 25%) & (diet) diversification.

To achieve the project objectives, interventions are designed uniquely to add value to the current initiation for refugee and host community self-reliance and integration, through engagement of Dutch private companies in a refugee inclusive business model. RISE (six month spanning pilot project) partners with Dutch affiliated private companies - who are willing and able to create wage employment opportunities to refugees and host communities residing in the capital. The lessons learned from this pilot contribute to intervention scale up thus creating more employment opportunities for refugee and host communities. The engagement of the private sector in the refugee labor market will provide more effective, innovative and sustainable assistance to empower these communities.Ethiopia is a host to the second largest refugee population in Africa, and is sheltering 928,663 (50.2% female) registered refugees from over nineteen countries (UNHCR, 2018). Ethiopia populates these refugees in six regions - Tigray, Afar, Ethiopia Somali, Benshangul-Gumuz and Gambela regions. Most of them are periphery locations with poor infrastructure and low development. About 60% of the refugees are children less than 17 years old and around 10% are unaccompanied minors. In total, there are 246,825 refugee households in which most are headed by women due to the violent conflict in their home country. While the conflict in neighboring South Sudan has resulted in a large recent influx of refugees of South Sudanese origin, many refugee groups have been living in Ethiopia for lengthy periods, in some cases for over 20 years. Currently, the refugee population consists of 48.1% South Sudanese, 27.7% Somalis, 18.6% Eritreans, 4.8% Sudanese, 0.2% Yemenis and 0.6% other nationalities (UNHCR, 2018). Most of the refugees fled their country as a result of insecurity, conflict, political instability and famine in their countries of origin. Context of urban refugees : Most of the urban refugees reside in Addis Ababa. According to UNHCR report (July 2018), there are 22,802 registered refugees in Addis Ababa, mainly from Eritrea (79%), Yemen (8.3%), Somalia (4.9%), South Sudan (2.4%) and the rest are from other nationalities. It is also estimated that (anecdotally) there are about 70,000 Eritrean refugees settled in urban areas who are living out of camp. The majority are residing in Addis Ababa and few are based in other towns in Ethiopia. Although some refugees head to third countries, by far the majority of refugees stay within the country. Ethiopia continued its’ open-door policy towards the increasing number of refugees despite political and economic challenges of its own, including recurrent droughts, ethnic tensions, and unrest in some part of the country. SNV’s experience in employment creation : In the Opportunities for Youth Employment (OYE) program in Tanzania, Rwanda and Mozambique, SNV has successfully engaged with numerous private sector companies to provide internships and opportunities for (self-) employment for rural out of school youth. While this is a category of people that is usually unattractive for the private sector, OYE’s approach is two-fold: preparing youth in a manner that they are considered to qualify for engagement with private sector companies, while banking on the business interest of the latter. In Ethiopia, SNV has been addressing women empowerment and youth employment creation as a priority cross-cutting issue in all its projects. Currently, Livelihoods Improvement for Women and Youth in Addis Ababa (LI-WAY) project, a market development programme in Addis Ababa has just successfully completed its inception phase, and may offer strategic linkages and opportunities for RISE. LI-WAY, initiated by Sida, is being implemented by SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) as the lead along with development partners. The project aims to improve the livelihoods of at least 200,000 people, of which at least 50% are women and 75% youth, by increasing their income and access to economic opportunities. The project is facilitating systemic market changes so that these markets function effectively and sustainably; and also benefit the poor through key market players and (digital) systems that provide the basis for matching job seekers with markets/the private sector. The focus of the project is on labour and skills market in the growing manufacturing and microenterprise sectors. In parallel, SNV is also investing in the successful implementation of a Challenge Fund, IAP that incentivizes small and medium sized businesses to invest in inclusive business innovations that generate employment opportunities for the low income market segment. The implementation of challenge fund like that of IAP has further strengthened SNV Ethiopia’s private sector networks both locally and internationally, and the skill and experience of productive private sector engagement for inclusive businesses. Accordingly, the RISE project aims to enhance access to job opportunities, self-reliance and access to services for refugees and host communities in order to reduce risky secondary movements and to contribute to more stable social and economic livelihoods of refugees. This pilot project will mainly work with urban refugees, as they are in better position to easily integrate with host communities living in Addis Ababa .SNV will work on the main objective of integrating female and male refugees in the host community and enhance their self-reliance while building their employability skills and creating opportunities for increased income. To attain this there will be three pillars of intervention: work on the skills and capacity of refugees, work with private actors to provide more refugees and host community with decent jobs. At the same time the project will engage with government and public institutes for legal status and overall social integration to the system and host community. The approach will focus on enhanced soft and technical skills of refugees and host community. Skilled manpower will be in demand at all times which is one of the problems in the service and manufacturing sectors. The capacity building will enable the program participants to be competitive in the labour market. The private companies will be carefully identified based on their capacity, profitability and social corporate responsibility. The training and placement is made after thorough assessment of supply (refugees with aspirations, skills and interest) and demand (profitable and socially responsible companies). Coaching and on site supervisions on performance and relationship will ensure long term engagement between the companies and the employees/target groups. Employment, consistent income and job securities are important factors for the self-reliant refugee community. For refugees to integrate well, government should provide necessary legal support and the general enabling environment. The project will facilitate platforms to engage all concerned from the legitimacy aspect and for social integration, to discuss and provide solutions on issues that hinder integration like legal status, fear of loss of resources and, jobs to the host community. All are legitimate concerns but will need discussion and a fair and balanced understanding for fair solution and therefore smooth integration. The project approach and development will be shared with stakeholders at the platforms. The method of selection of refugees, trainings and capacity building and trainers who do their training including the curriculum is public property. This includes the way the businesses are selected and coached for decent refugee and host community jobs. Awareness creation tools to the host community will also be shared. The overall lessons learned of the project will be documented and shared by the project including the government to influence policy more specifically on the development and implementation of refuge responsive and inclusive business. Knowledge management, i.e. capturing and disseminating lessons learned, experiences and methodologies will make stakeholders, with government, private sector and service providers, will create awareness about the successes and other critical factors, motivating them to scale up the interventions and replicate them in other areas. This model of comprehensive and conscious development and integration of self-reliant refugees in host communities is the first of its kind. Lessons learned will be documented and shared as evidence to inform policy to stimulate change, and to create alterations and adaptations within the enabling environment and with the private sector for replication.The overall goal of pilot phased RISE project is to contribute to the self reliance and integration of 60 refugees and 70 host communities with 50% women through enhanced employ-ability, inclusive Dutch affiliated private company engagement and access to necessary documents and services. The project envisages three interrelated outcomes: -Improved performance of inclusive Dutch affiliated business companies -Increased employment of refugee and host community -Enhanced work-place protection and socioeconomic integration of refugeeUrban Refugees residing in Addis Ababa - 130Dutch Ministry of Foreign AffairsSNV EthiopiaAkvo FoundationSNV EthiopiaAto Worku BehonegneCountry Director+ 251 (0) 11 616 6232wbehonegne@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/country/ethiopiaAfrica Avenue | Opp. Millennium Hall, Next to the new Ethiopian Airlines hotelSNV EthiopiaRISEBeza TeferraTeam Leader/Inclusive Advisor+ 251 (0) 11 616 6232bteferra@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/project/refugee-integration-and-self-reliance-project-ethiopia-riseAfrica Avenue | Opp. Millennium Hall, Next to the new Ethiopian Airlines hotelSNV EthiopiaCommunicationMeseret KebedeCommunication and Management Support officer+ 251 (0) 11 616 6232Kmeseret@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/country/ethiopiaAfrica Avenue | Opp. Millennium Hall, Next to the new Ethiopian Airlines hotel8.9806034 38.75776050000002308706.00308706.00SNV Ethiopia134000.00SNV EthiopiaDefinitive grant amount depends on actual expenditure- Economically active refugee and host community - Dutch private companies operational in creating employment opportunity for refugee and host communities​​- RISE expects enhanced perfromance of Dutch private companies to provide decent job opportunities to female and male refugees along with hot communities.The pilot only used one firm .​NL-KVK-41152786-5069cSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationANE OmiDelta GouvernanceL'objectif global du volet Gouvernance du Programme OmiDelta est de **contribuer au renforcement des capacités des structures de concertation ou de veille pour le respect des droits humains liés à l’eau et l'amélioration de la résilience climatique, de l’équité et de la durabilité dans la gestion de l’eau au niveau du Delta de l'Ouémé**. De façon spécifique, elle vise à : - Améliorer les mécanismes de veille et de promotion de l'intégrité pour un environnement propice à la gestion professionnelle du sous-secteur AEPHA et aux initiatives de développement de services de qualité ; - Améliorer la gouvernance des ressources en eau dans le sous bassin de la BMVO et plus particulièrement dans le Delta de l’Ouémé ; - Assurer la gestion efficace et inclusive du volet Gouvernance du Programme OmiDelta ANE. Le volet Gouvernance du Programme est subdivisé en deux sous volets : i) Gouvernance AEPHA, ii) Gouvernance GIRE. Les résultats attendus du sous volet Gouvernance AEPHA sont : - Résultat 1.1 : Les Associations des Consommateurs d’Eau Potable et CPC assurent la veille citoyenne pour la bonne gouvernance dans l'AEPHA ; - Résultat 1.2 : Les principes de bonne gouvernance sont adoptés et mis en œuvre par l‘ensemble des acteurs intervenant dans l'AEPHA ; - Résultat 1.3 : Les initiatives de partenariats innovants pour l'amélioration des services publics de l'eau sont promues par les Communes et adressent les jeunes et les femmes. Quant au sous volet Gouvernance GIRE, les résultats attendus sont : - Résultat 2.1 : Les ANE assurent une veille efficace de l’opérationnalisation de la GIRE - Résultat 2.2 : La concertation au sein des espaces de gestion des ressources en eau est améliorée - Résultat 2.3 : Des outils/ solutions novatrices aux problèmes de gouvernance sont testés et les leçons apprises capitalisées et partagéesPar ailleurs, le Gouvernement ambitionne à travers les projets phares 43 et 44 du Programme d'Actions du Gouvernement (PAG) de le réaliser à l’horizon 2021. Pour ce faire, le Gouvernement prévoit la réhabilitation, la densification et l'extension d’ouvrages hydrauliques dans toutes les communes couvertes afin de desservir 2,5 millions de personnes supplémentaires en milieu rural d’ici à 2021. En milieu urbain, le gouvernement envisage des réformes et des investissements qui permettront de garantir l'eau potable pour 2.7 millions d'habitants supplémentaires. Malgré les avancées aux plans stratégique et opérationnel dans ce sous-secteur, plusieurs contraintes sont relevées, à savoir : - la faible fonctionnalité des ouvrages d’AEP ; - la faible qualité du service public de l’eau (continuité du service, qualité de l’eau, disponibilité de l’eau, etc.) ; - le faible recouvrement des redevances Eau par les Communes, maîtres d’ouvrages. Dans ce contexte, le projet du PNE doit permettre de réduire, voire d'endiguer le déficit de gouvernance dans la gestion des ressources en eau qui a un impact négatif sur l’accès et la durabilité des services d’eau et d’assainissement au Bénin.La durabilité dans la gestion de l’eau au niveau du Delta de l'Ouémé fait partie intégrante de l'objectif global du projet. Ainsi, la création d'un environnement favorable comme prévu dans ce projet favorisera le respect des règles de transparence, de redevabilité et de participation devant permettre la réussite et la durabilité des réformes engagées dans le secteur de l’eau et ainsi faciliter la réalisation de l’accès universel à l’eau.L'objectif global du volet Gouvernance du Programme OmiDelta est de contribuer au renforcement des capacités des structures de concertation ou de veille pour le respect des droits humains liés à l’eau et l'amélioration de la résilience climatique, de l’équité et de la durabilité dans la gestion de l’eau au niveau du Delta de l'Ouémé.

Par ailleurs, une amélioration de la collaboration entre les ONG et associations de la société civile est recherchée, mais aussi une participation citoyenne accrue à tous les niveaux de décision et une amélioration de la représentativité des acteurs et de la qualité de l’animation au sein des cadres de concertation à mettre en place ou à renouveler (Conseil National de l’Eau, Plateforme Delta, Cadre de coordination des structures de veille GIRE…).SNV BeninAkvo FoundationPartenariat National de l'Eau du Béninpne.benin@gmail.comhttp://gwppnebenin.org/-PNE-Benin-.htmlCREPA-Bénin à Placodji, Cotonou 01BP 43926.370293 2.39123624677.00183589.00252939.00338795.00120000.001ère tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin800000.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV au PNE.SNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin183589.00Total des dépenses du PNE pour l'année 2019Partenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin7622.002ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin22867.003ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin133360.004ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin24677.00Total des dépenses du PNE pour l'année 2018Partenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin251905.00Total des dépenses du PNE pour l'année 2020Partenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin158171.005ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin30490.006ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin127681.007ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin100000.008ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin340701.00Total des dépenses du PNE pour l'année 2021Partenariat National de l'Eau du Bénin37600.009ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin39437.0010ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninPartenariat National de l'Eau du BéninRésultat 1/3 de l'Objectif Spécifique 1 du PNE relatif au WASH : Améliorer les mécanismes de veille et de promotion de l'intégrité pour un environnement propice à la gestion professionnelle du sous-secteur AEPHA et aux initiatives de développement de services de qualitéCet indicateur mesure le nombre de rapports alternatifs c’est-à-dire élaborés par les acteurs non étatiques, notamment les ACEP, sur le service public de l'eau.Activité prévue en 2020La cible globale est 10 rapports d'activités des ACEP est réalisé et présenté au maire avant diffusion.25-02-2021: Les 10 rapports d'activités des ACEP prévus par le projet sont élaborés, présentés aux Maires des communes concernées (Ouinhi, Bopa, Gogounou, Grand-Popo, Pobè, Avrankou, Ifangni, Za-Kpota, Cotonou et sémè-Podji), et diffusés.27-02-2022: Résultats déjà enregistrés et pas de nouveaux résultats en 2021.Résultat 2/3 de l'Objectif Spécifique 1 du PNE relatif au WASH : Améliorer les mécanismes de veille et de promotion de l'intégrité pour un environnement propice à la gestion professionnelle du sous-secteur AEPHA et aux initiatives de développement de services de qualitéCet indicateur détermine le nombre de séances de reddition de compte thématique EA par Commune. ​Au moins 5 communes vont organiser 2 redditions de compte dans l'année. Les capacités des ACEP/CPC seront renforcées afin de faciliter la tenue effective de ces séances de reddition de compte et leur participation active aux séances.27-03-2020: Les activité ayant démarré en retard une seule reddition a pu être organisée dans 4 communes.Au moins 5 communes vont organiser 2 redditions de compte dans l'année. Les capacités des ACEP/CPC seront renforcées afin de faciliter la tenue effective de ces séances de reddition de compte et leur participation active aux séances.25-02-2021: 20 communes ont fait une reddition de compte en 2020 : Dogbo, Adjarra, Péhunco, Pobè, Ouinhi, Avrankou, Savalou, Cobly, Ifangni, Za-Kpota, Bopa, Toucountouna , Zogbodomey, Bohicon, Athiémé, Dangbo, Sakété, Adjohoun, Aguégués, Klouékanmè. La cible globale de 20 est donc dépassée avec les 4 effectuées l'année dernière.27-02-2022: La cible est atteinte mais souhaite faire plus au vu des bons résultats. Ainsi, 4 redditions thématiques réalisées en 2021 sur fonds propres par les communes de Ounhi, Avrankou, Pobè et Ifangni.Cet indicateur détermine le nombre de rapports d'activités publiés régulièrement par les ANE sur le secteur (Etat des lieux des ressources en eau, qualité de l'eau de consommation, etc.). Les capacités des ACEP de deux communes seront renforcées pour élaborer un rapport alternatif en plus de leur rapport d'activités.27-03-2020: Un rapport écrit par le CANEA.Le rapport 2019 de la société civile sur le secteur est publié.25-02-2021: Le rapport 2019 de la société civile (CANEA) sur le secteur est publié. Quant à celui de 2020, le processus a commencé.27-02-2022: Le rapport 2021 de la société civile sur le secteur est élaboré par le CANEA et sera présenté à la revue.Cet indicateur évalue la proportion d’adhérents à la charte, ayant mis en œuvre leurs plans d’intégrité à au moins 75%. La Charte : élaborée en 2016 par les acteurs du secteur avec des engagements pour chacun "code de conduite". Le Plan d'intégrité correspond à l'ensemble des activités pour respecter les engagements de la Charte.Les préalables permettant aux acteurs d'adhérer à la charte seront réalisés et conduiront à l'élaboration des plans d'actions d'intégrité. C'est la mise en œuvre de ces plans qui sera alors évaluée.27-03-2020: En 2019, les préalables permettent aux acteurs d'adhérer à la charte. La formalisation de l'adhésion des communes est en cours et sera finalisée en 2020.La cible globale est 50%25-02-2021: Sur les 5 plans à mettre en œuvre, ceux-ci sont exécutés dans 2 communes (Ouinhi, Avrankou) et sont en cours d'exécution dans 3 communes (Bopa, Pobè, et Ifangni). Le taux de réalisation obtenu se justifie par le fait que les communes ont été motivées par la promesse de primer les meilleures ayant exécutées l'intégralité de leur plan intégrité. La cible globale d'au moins 50% des acteurs est donc atteinte.27-02-2022: La cible finale est atteinte (50%) mais souhaite faire plus au vu des bons résultats. Sur les 5 plans à mettre en œuvre, toutes les communes ont exécutés entièrement toutes les actions prévues dans leur plan à fin août 2021.Cet indicateur mesure les succès enregistrés lors des initiatives entreprises par les ANE pour influencer/faciliter les politiques AEPHA (tarification de l’eau potable, suivi de la qualité de l’eau des PEA privés, etc.) Des ANE vont proposer plusieurs outils aux communes en relation avec les thèmes susmentionnés. Les communes s'engageront à mettre en œuvre l'outil de leur choix. Les étapes et résultats de ces initiatives seront décrits et elles se solderont par un succès quand les communes qui se sont engagées auront respecté les étapes et obtiendront les résultats attendus listés au préalable. Les initiatives portant sur le suivi de la qualité de l'eau concerne une commune pilote (Sakété).C'est au cours de l'année 2019 que la démarche pour conduire le plaidoyer sera élaborée ; puis le plaidoyer sera réalisé 2020 en vue de la prise de l'initiative.27-03-2020: En 2019, la démarche pour conduire le plaidoyer a été élaborée pour permettre le plaidoyer en vue de la prise de l'initiative. 2 communes sont ciblées pour mettre en place un outil.2 communes sont ciblées pour mettre en place un outil. Les ACEP proposeront également ces genres d'initiatives avec l'appui du consortium25-02-2021: 1- Le plaidoyer sur la tarification de l'eau a facilité le lancement par la SONEB d'une étude tarifaire. Deux autres initiatives conduites par les ANE ont été soldées par un succès. Il s'agit de : 2 - La décision du Conseil des Ministres pour la signature d'un contrat entre l'ANAEP-MR et les communes en vue de l'amélioration de la maintenance des ouvrages ; 3 - Une initiative de mobilisation de ressources (Zindo) conduite par l'ACEP et la CPC de Za Kopta, a permis la réailsation d'un ouvrage d'eau pour le centre de santé de l'arrondissement de Zouzonmè. L'initiative de mobilisation de ressources par l'ACEP n'était pas prévue initialement mais a été faite suite aux différentes actions de renforcement des capacités organisés à l'endroit des ACEP.27-02-2022: Finalement, c'est en 2021 que le volet gouvernance a atteint la cible finale avec 2 initiatives des ANE : 1. Sensibilisation réalisée par l'ACEP de So Ava sur le paiement de l'eau ayant abouti à l'harmonisation du prix de l'eau dans la commune de So-Ava 2. Sensibilisation réalisé par l'ACEP de Ouinhi sur le paiement de l'eau ayant abouti à l'acceptation du paiement de l'eau par les communautés et la délégation de la gestion de 26 FPM complémentairesRésultat 3/3 de l'Objectif Spécifique 1 du PNE relatif au WASH : Améliorer les mécanismes de veille et de promotion de l'intégrité pour un environnement propice à la gestion professionnelle du sous-secteur AEPHA et aux initiatives de développement de services de qualitéIl s'agit du nombre de femmes et de jeunes qui ont acquis un nouvel emploi équivalents temps plein (ETP) créés, soit 40H semaine, et / ou donnant au moins droit au Salaire Minimum Interprofessionnel Garanti (SMIG) qui est de 40.000 FCFA au cours de la période considérée.La mise en place de la démarche sera faite au cours du premier semestre avant l'accompagnement à donner aux jeunes et aux femmes au cours du second semestre.(activités de renforcement de capacités sur les outils mis à leur disposition). Emplois prévus pour 2020.27-03-2020: En 2019, la mise en place de la démarche est faite pour l'accompagnement à donner aux jeunes et permettra la création de 2 emplois en 2020.25-02-2021: Suite aux résultats de l'étude sur l'identification des besoins du SPE, les solutions innovantes ont été sélectionnés suite à un appel à projet mais aucun emploi équivalent temps plein n'a encore été créé.27-02-2022: Finalement, c'est en 2021 que le volet gouvernance a atteint la cible finale avec 2 emplois créés : il s'agit du personnel de la start up pour l'initiative innovante (constitué de deux jeunes hommes) ayant un contrat de mise en œuvre et de suivi de l'application pour une durée d'un an.Cet indicateur détermine le nombre de partenariats innovants (ex : pour la collecte des données) pour l’amélioration du SPE mis en place et fonctionnels.27-03-2020: Une action pilote de sécurisation et de suivi est prévu dans une commune en 2020.25-02-2021: Suite aux résultats de l'étude sur l'identification des besoins du SPE, les solutions innovantes ont été sélectionnés suite à un appel à projet.27-02-2022: Finalement c'est en 2021 que le volet gouvernance a atteint la cible finale avec la formalisation d'un partenariat innovant de géolocalisation et de détection des pannes ou fuites d'eau sur les réseaux d'eau est mis en œuvre avec la start-up Ets Cercle d'Innovations en Informatique et Electronique (C2I).Résultat 1/3 de l'Objectif Spécifique 2 du PNE relatif à la GIRE : Améliorer la gouvernance des ressources en eau dans le sous bassin de la BMVO et plus particulièrement dans le Delta de l’OuéméCet indicateur évalue le nombre de décisions relatives à l’opérationnalisation de la GIRE qui sont influencées/facilitées par les ANE. Comparaison des décisions prises au niveau étatique avec les lettres d'interpellations des ANE (PNE, Alcrer, ProEnvironnement, Social Watch, etc.) aux autorités.La première année sera consacrée à préparer les ANE à jouer leur rôle de veille en matière d'opérationnalisation de la GIRE (textes règlementaires CLE, ABO, Fneau).27-03-2020: 2 décisions attendus en 2020100% des décisions doivent influencées : 2 décisions sont attendues.25-02-2021: Le plaidoyer sur les CLE a abouti à un accord de principe des acteurs sur la démarche de mise en place des CLE en cours de finalisation.27-02-2022: Finalement 2 décisions ont été influencées ce qui porte le résultat final à 3 contre 2 initialement ciblés. Il s'agit pour 2021 de : Le plaidoyer sur les CLE a abouti à l'adoption d'un plan de rédaction du manuel de mise en place des CLE au Bénin. Le PNE a lancé un appel sur son site web (lors de la Journée Mondiale de l'Eau) pour interpeller les autorités sur la nécessité d'actualiser la loi portant gestion de l'eau. Suite à cela la DGEau a conduit un processus d'évaluation de cette loi (rapport disponible).Résultat 2/3 de l'Objectif Spécifique 2 du PNE relatif à la GIRE : Améliorer la gouvernance des ressources en eau dans le sous bassin de la BMVO et plus particulièrement dans le Delta de l’OuéméCet indicateur mesure le nombre de cadres de concertation fonctionnels (CNE, Plateforme Delta) disposant d’une bonne représentation des ANE y compris les jeunes et les femmes.Le premier semestre servira à l'identification de la problématique GIRE spécifique et l'élaboration d'une démarche nécessaire à faire avant la mise en place du cadre au second semestre.27-02-2022: Le résultat 2019 est 0 car la plateforme Delta n'était pas encore mise en place et la plateforme CNE n'était déjà plus fonctionnelle.27-02-2022: Les mandats des ANE du CNE ont été renouvelés avec une bonne représentation de jeunes et de femmes. Malgré le renouvellement des mandats des ANE/CNE facilité par les activités du volet, le CNE n'a pu tenir ses sessions au cours de l'année 2020. Les raisons de cette situation serait le non renouvellement de mandats d'autres catégories de membres. La plateforme Delta n'est pas établie : le processus de formalisation de la plateforme Delta par la DGEau avec l'appui de COWI n'a pas encore reçu l'assentiment de toutes les parties prenantes. Sur la cible globale qui est 2, le résultat est donc 0. Toutefois on note la mise en place de 2 CLE (Assanto et Gbadohouin) qui s'efforce de disposer d'une représentation des jeunes et des femmes : 42%27-02-2022: Du fait d'un problème de fonctionnement du CNE (frais de réunion, jetons de présence, nombre de membres, etc.) qui doit être réglé au niveau du gouvernement, le CNE n'est pas fonctionnel. De même, la plateforme Delta n'est pas établie. Toutefois, on peut noter que 2 CLE (Assanto et Gbadohouin) mis en place et ont élaborés leurs plans de travail et disposnt d'une bonne représentation des ANE y compris les jeunes et les femmes.Cet indicateur évalue la mise en œuvre des recommandations prises par les cadres de concertation. Les recommandations sont formulées à l'endroit des acteurs du secteur de l'Eau par les membres des Cadres de concertation, qui assurent également le suivi de la mise en œuvre de ces recommandations.Le travail des ANE se concentrera sur le cadre existant (CNE) cette première année en attendant la mise en place de la plateforme.27-03-2020: En 2019, le travail des ANE se concentre sur le cadre existant (CNE) cette première année en attendant la mise en place de la plateforme.50% des recommandations prises par les cadres de concertation seront mises en œuvre.25-02-2021: Résultat nul car le Comité National de l'Eau (CNE) n'a pas tenu de session.27-02-2022: Le CNE n'a toujours pas tenu de session. Deux recommandations ont été faites lors des sessions des CLE. Il s'agit de réaliser le reboisement des berges de la rivière d'Assanto et de veiller à l'intégration de toutes les parties prenantes dans la mise en oeuvre des activités. Ces recommandations sont mises en oeuvre dans l'exécution des plans d'actions. Ainsi, 10 actions réalisées sur les 12 prévues dans le plan d'actions du CLE d'Assanto et 3 sur 12 réalisées pour le CLE de Gbadohouin.Résultat 3/3 de l'Objectif Spécifique 2 du PNE relatif à la GIRE : Améliorer la gouvernance des ressources en eau dans le sous bassin de la BMVO et plus particulièrement dans le Delta de l’OuéméCet indicateur mesure le nombre d'initiatives de promotion de la gestion concertée et du financement équitable de la GIRE mises en œuvre et capitalisées. Des ANE vont proposer plusieurs outils aux communes, qui choisiront ce qu'elles veulent expérimenter. Les étapes à mettre en œuvre et les résultats à atteindre dans le cadre de ces initiatives seront bien décrits et leur implémentation se soldera par une capitalisation (document).Un outil par année sera élaboré et testé.27-03-2020: Retard dans le processus de mise en place des Comités Locaux de l'Eau.Un outil par année sera élaboré et testé soit 2 au total.25-02-2021: Les deux Comités Locaux de l'Eau mis en place ont élaboré des plans d'actions comprenant des initiatives à tester mais le retard dans la mise en place des CLE n'a pas permis d'opérationnaliser .27-02-2022: Deux initaitives ont été testées et mises en œuvre par les CLE, il s'agit de: 1. Initiative de gestion des conflits dans la transhumance, développés avec les usagers (agriculteurs, eleveurs) 2. Initiative de gestion durable des terres et ressources en eau (reboisement des berges)NL-KVK-41152786-SP1022SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationHarmonised support to the clean cooking sectorThe objective of the SEEECCS project is to strengthen the enabling environment of clean cooking sector of Ethiopia with interventions around support for organisational and institutional capacity development and sector facilitation, including for improved cook stoves, biogas and bio-fuel. The SEECCS anticipates to contribute to develop a robust system to bring about public-private partnership and ultimately benefit the majority of Ethiopian poor families, particularly women and children who are suffering from indoor air pollution, perennial drudgery, deforestation and lately increasing climate change effects. **Duration** 2017-2019 (with a go-no-go decision after 6 months of Inception Phase) **Donor** RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency), Dutch Government **Clients/** **Partners** Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity, Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Ethiopian Standards Agency, GIZ-EnDev Programme, World Vision, Gaia Associations, Private Sector, Financial institutionsThe SEECCS project envisaged to attain the following specific objectives to support the development of the clean cooking sector **Ethiopian National Forum for Clean Cooking (ENFCC)**: Lack of common institution/forum/media that could facilitate discussion of issues and common agenda couldn’t allow the private sector as well as other partners that are engaged in such endeavours to voice their problems, discuss on how they can address it, jointly demand solution for basic issues which could really make an impact in their intervention, etc. Hence, it is very important to establish ENFCC that deals on both stoves and fuels and encompass both the public and private sectors. ENFCC’s mission will be to facilitate the scaling up of the clean cookstoves and clean fuels market in Ethiopia through convening and coordinating the sector, advocating for enabling government policies, creating public awareness and capacity building. The forum strives to build solidarity amongst clean cookstoves and clean fuels stakeholders and create effective partnerships to ensure the use of clean cookstoves and fuels is the norm in Ethiopian housholds and institutions. **Reviewing the existing policies & strategies & support their implementation**: As creating access to clean cooking is linked with different sectoral issues, it is very important to have an in-depth assessment of the respective policies and strategies. In this aspect, the project will review the existing policies of (energy, environment, forestry, health, gender, etc.), investment plan of ICS, and strategies (such as CRGE, Biomass Energy Strategy or BEST, Biofuel Strategy, etc.). The project will also support finalizing policies/strategies that are in the draft form (such as the energy policy) and/or those that are finalised but not endorsed by the government (such as the Biomass Energy Strategy - BEST).The review will help the project to thoroughly analyse those documents and as a result highlight the strength, identify the existing gaps and make practical recommendation as required. Policies and strategies have to be well recognized and understood by development partners for their effective implementation. The project will work on sensitization so that sectors will be able to realize the linkage between policies and strategies of different actors and also producing guideline to simplify and facilitate the implementation of some of the strategies **To support fine-tuning and getting approval of national standards for ICS in line with the ISO IWA tier definition: **There have been several initiatives in drafting a national standard for ICS in the country. They are however not finalised. Hence considering the importance of such a standard in a market that is emerging with varied types and quality of products, it is very imperative that a national standard is finalised, following some credible existing standard, the ISO IWA standard being the most popular, many countries are already adopting to. **To support strengthening of the national energy lab to become a state-of-the-art facility for testing and certification for ICS: **Given the size of the country and the potential impact of promoting quality ICS in the country, it is very important to have national energy lab with a state-of-the-art-facility that strongly support the enforcement of the national ICS and fuel standards as well as promote research and development that gears to invent different clean cooking technologies and fuels. Hence, the project support to mobilise resource by drafting proposal with the details of the lab facilities and the capacity building requirement as well as the budget for establishment of such a laboratory.Rijksdiens voor Ondernemend NederlandSNV EthiopiaAkvo FoundationSNVEnergyHiwote TeshomeProject Manager00251930000772hteshome@SNV.orgAddis Ababa, EthiopiaSNVEnergySaroj RaiEnergy Sector lead00251929135693srai@snv.orgAddis Ababa, Ethiopia8.9806034 38.7577605387409.0052307.00RVO – Agentschap NLSNV Ethiopia170033.00RVO – Agentschap NLSNV EthiopiaThough the energy efficiency and alternative fuel promotion programs in Ethiopia have been underway since the mid-1980s, the success of these initiatives so as to reach to the majority of the households is very limited compared to the importance of the issue. Lack of common institution/forum/media that could facilitate discussion of issues and common agenda given as the main reason for this problem. Because of this the private sector as well as other partners that are engaged in such endeavours, couldn’t get the opportunity to voice their problems, discuss on how they can address it, jointly demand solution for basic issues which could really make an impact in their intervention, etc. Hence, it is very important to establish the Ethiopian National Forum for Clean Cooking (ENFCC) that deals on both stoves and fuels. The ENFCC will encompass both the public and private actors. ENFCC’s mission will be to facilitate the scaling up of the clean cookstoves and clean fuels market in Ethiopia through convening and coordinating the sector, advocating for enabling government policies, creating public awareness and capacity building. The forum strives to build solidarity amongst clean cookstoves and clean fuels stakeholders and create effective partnerships to ensure the use of clean cookstoves and fuels is the norm in Ethiopian households and institutions.Given aboveThere was no such an Alliance in the country before.For the success and sustainability of the ENFCC it’s important to have a sustainable financing mechanism that enable the forum to effectively implement its activities. Hence, SEECS will also work on strengthening sustainable financing mechanisms, including membership fees and grants, by the end of the projectGiven aboveThe Alliance was not in place.As creating access to clean cooking is linked with different sectoral issues, it is very important to have in depth assessment of the respective policies and strategies. In this aspect, the project will review the existing policies of (energy, environment, forestry, health, gender, etc.), investment plan of ICS, and strategies (such as CRGE, Biomass Energy Strategy or BEST, Biofuel Strategy, etc.). The project will also support finalizing policies/strategies that are in the draft form (such as the energy policy) and/or those that are finalized but not endorsed by the government (such as the Biomass Energy Strategy - BEST).The review will help the project to thoroughly analyze those documents and as a result highlight the strength, identify the existing gaps and make practical recommendation as required.The study expected to encompass the following key issues: · Reviewing, identifying gaps and strengths while providing recommendations of policies/strategies/investment plans/proclamations etc. that are linked with the clean cooking sector · Reviewing and provide practical recommendations on the roles and responsibilities of different actors related to clean cooking sector · Reviewing and provide practical recommendations of project documents, status of different projects/programme, level of synergy/coordination, etc. related to clean cooking sector that are implemented/supported by different development partners Through the competitive bid process, a local consulting firm will be awarded to conduct the review. The consent of MEFCC on the selected consultants is also important.There was no such a study conducted beforeFindings of the study will be presented by the consultants to stakeholders from relevant sectoral office and development partners where by issues will be thoroughly discussed among the participants and document can be enriched accordingly. Moreover, the draft document will also be shared with stakeholders for their input and comments.Same as aboveNo such types of study conductedConsidering high dependency of households and commercial sectors on the biomass energy to address their cooking energy demand, it is very important to reconvene the endorsement of the already produced BEST via engaging the MoEFCC as the lead institution as it is the mandated ministry as per the current restructuring. This will help the strategy to be well adopted by different stakeholders working in the sector.​There was no such consultative meetings undertaken since the development of BEST in 1998.There have been several initiatives in drafting a national standard for ICS in the country. They are however not finalized. Hence considering the importance of such a standard in a market that is emerging with varied types and quality of products, it is very imperative that a national standard is finalized, following some credible existing standard, the ISO IWA standard being the most popular, many countries are already adopting to.Biomass cooking and biomass baking standard documents will be revised by the task force (representing key partners) organised to develop new standard Draft clean cook stoves and clean cooking solutions —Performance Requirements and Test methods standard will be developed and ready for endorsement by hte standard council. The new standard expects to cover all types of fuels except electricity and solar.There was only biomass baking and biomass cooking standards in place. These standards will nto accomodate other types of fuels. It has also a limitation with respect to promoting innovation as it deals with only biomass.A proposal will be drafted with the details of the lab facilities and the capacity building required as well as the budget for establishment of such a laboratory within the premise of the National Energy Lab, currently under MoWIE. Given the size of the country and the potential impact of promoting quality ICS in the country, the investment in such a facility has tremendous significance and it is very urgent to regulate the market and avoid dissemination of ICS that are not really beneficial to the users in terms of health and safety as well as in reduced use of firewood, etc. GACC has supported some countries with establishment of such a facility called Regional Testing & Knowledge Centre (RTKC), which will be a good reference for developing the proposal.Proposal will be developed that incorporates the gap assessment of the existing facilities. It will also indicate the recommended place of the testing facility considering its sustainability and effectiveness.There is not such state-of the-art testing facility in the country.NL-KVK-41152786-SP1233SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationBRIDGEBuilding Rural Income through inclusive Dairy business Growth in Ethiopia [BRIDGE] Project is a five year dairy sector transformation project implemented by the consortium of SNV Ethiopia and WUR and fully funded by the Embassy of Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ethiopia.

Our Theory of Change is that working with citizens, private sector and government at sub-national level on specific, actor-led systems issues to produce data and facilitate stakeholder analysis which broadens understanding and builds consensus, can strengthen accountability relationships for collective action which makes existing policies work at the local level and provides visible and written evidence for national level policy dialogue and reform. As a result of working in this manner to address agricultural market development, we aim to achieve the following impact and outcomes: Impact: Improved and inclusive access to basic services, and strengthened business environment for sunflower and dairy small holders and agribusinesses. Outcomes: • The formal institutions of government at local and national level that control and impact on Dairy and Sunflower markets, promote inclusive market development and reflected by; - The extent to which these institutions demonstrate behaviours that indicate they are advancing dairy and sunflower market development • Policy reforms and institutional changes (formal and informal) that promote Sunflower and Dairy development are implemented reflected by; - The level to which governance stakeholders (government, market actors, networks) engage with the partners to identify and address the policy issues and institutional obstacles to inclusive sunflower and dairy market development - The level to which dairy and sunflower smallholders and agribusinesses (men, women, youth, bottom of the pyramid) engage and contribute to identify and address the constraints to market development with governance stakeholdersTAM programme was established in August 2018 and funded by UKAID. TAM is a flexible, learning programme that is responsive to the dynamics of local agricultural market issues and builds the capacity of citizens to hold government accountable and enabling governmental institutions’ ability and willingness to respond by focusing on getting both sets of actors to solve problems collectively. The programme will work flexibly with agricultural smallholder farmers, farmer organisations, women and youth, value chain associations, multi-stakeholders platforms, public and private sector organisations, research institutes, civic action, lobby and advocacy groups, and media. We will make connections and relationships horizontally and vertically and at all levels of government in order to identify governance barriers to agricultural market development and work together to develop solutions. The project approach aims for systemic change in the targeted markets of dairy and sunflower and also selected issues that will impact on the agricultural business environment overall.The range of SNV’s role in working with partners in this TAM programme includes: • Provide objective information and analysis: starting with joint mapping, tracking and studies, i.e. develop local knowledge, to provide data, market intelligence and analysis on ‘what is the reality on the ground’? (especially private sector, women and youth); • Support the analysis of the market systems and support the development of the ToC and action plan that will enable change; • Guide the planning, monitoring and evaluation of Interventions using rolling case studies linked to Outcome Mapping as a tool; • Support groups and actors to engage with government around key issues; • Coordinate the actions and build the capacity of the actors involved in the action, including political actors e.g. councillors; • Provide technical assistance to ensure that lesson learning takes place; • Support actors as they start to scale vertically and horizontally.Impact: Improved and inclusive access to basic services, and strengthened business environment for sunflower and dairy small holders and agribusinesses. Outcomes: • The formal institutions of government at local and national level that control and impact on Dairy and Sunflower markets, promote inclusive market development • Policy reforms and institutional changes (formal and informal) that promote Sunflower and Dairy development are implemented- Boundary partners (direct beneficiaries) in dairy and sunflower market systems, - Strategic partners in government, private sector, media and research/NGOs relevant to the two market systems.Department for International Development UKSNV TanzaniaAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationAgricultureTom Ole SikarProject Manager+255 754 481 802tolesikar@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/country/tanzaniaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation P.O.

The programme will thereby contribute to the increased availability of domestically and regionally produced food for the growing population in East Africa. As such, CSA-EA will drive systemic change through a market-driven approach that works for the rural poor. The consortium partners will leverage and create synergies with other existing programmes and plans.Climate change in East Africa will have far-reaching consequences for agriculture, natural resources and the food security situation of the increasing number of rural and urban population. With yield drops and crop losses projected for major cash and food crops, the cost of doing nothing may be up to 20 times higher than the cost of investing in measures to adapt to climate change. This challenge demands a response that integrates enhanced food security with climate adaptation and mitigation of food crop production and supply systems, and puts greatest investment towards those interventions that lead to a market driven adoption and scaling of climate resilient agriculture through inclusive business development.CSA-EA has 3 main impact areas: 1. Increased productive capacity for 300,000 smallholder farmers; 2. Increased business performance for 50 agribusiness SMEs and 30 cooperatives due to climate-related investments; 3. Climate resilient sustainable food production practiced on 600,000 hectares with improved carbon, water and energy efficiencies.Agribusiness SMEs, cooperatives and small-holder farmers, governments, agricultural services providers, financial sectorDirectoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingWageningen Environmental ResearchSNV UgandaWageningen University & ResearchNetherlands Development OrganisationSNV TanzaniaAgriterraRabobank FoundationCGIAR’s Climate Change, Agriculture & Food Security programme (CCAFS)Akvo FoundationSNVSusan CantellaProgramme Managercsaea-info@snv.org36 Luthuli Rise, Kampala, Uganda0.3475964 32.58251971155330.005070264.005534241.008870882.009110957.0039300000.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSmallholder farmers out of those reached, disaggregated by male/female <35, directYield: Crop output per land cultivated.

The HortInvest support to specific horticultural production and supply improvements will be beneficial and justifiable in case it (a) focuses on the pre-competitive domain, (b) has a clear development impact such as employment creation and income generation for (male, female, youth) smallholders and SMEs; and (c) is finite or has a clear exit strategy. The project will provide support and training on Good Agricultural Practices and IPM, value addition, market demand, services and inclusive growth of specific horticultural value chains (fruits, incl. banana & vegetables). Production and supply improvements for both domestic and regional fresh produce markets as well as the more high-value export markets will be covered. Whilst market-driven production and supply will be supported by HortInvest, the importance of fruit and vegetable consumption within the farm household will not be ignored. Particularly the most vulnerable farm households and the more remote villages will be targeted with nutritional awareness. The enabling environment will be strengthened, further improving the institutional arrangements and supporting policy implementation, facilitating public-private collaboration and consultation, and improving the capacities of both public and private horticultural actors. Cross-cutting issues that will be addressed as part of all project activities include gender equality, employment and income opportunities for rural youth, and the promotion of sustainable and climate resilient horticultural production and supply systems.The "Investing in Horticultural Development in Rwanda" (HortInvest) project is a four year (2018-2021) horticultural value chain project that is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Rwanda.

Les Plans de Développement Communaux (PDC 2017-2021) de Gogounou, Kalalé et Ouessè complétés par les programmations communales eau (PC Eau), révèlent l’existence des difficultés d’approvisionnement en eau des populations de ces communes. Dans certains villages, les populations utilisent les puits et les eaux de surface (retenues d’eau, marigots, cours d’eaux, rivières, marres et parfois les flaques d’eau) comme source d’approvisionnement en eau de boisson.L’amélioration de la fonctionnalité des ouvrages pour une fourniture continue d’eau potable de qualité passera par le transfert progressif aux communes des acquis du projet. La durabilité du projet prend en compte les aspects : financier (redevances des délégataires aux communes), technique (renforcement des capacités), institutionnel (projet élaboré en concertation avec les communes), social (animation et veille citoyenne) et environnemental (sensibilisation et démarche de "faire-faire").L’objectif global de ce projet est de contribuer à l’amélioration durable de l’accès à l’eau potable des populations des Communes de Kalalé, Gogounou et Ouessè. De façon spécifique le projet vise à améliorer la fonctionnalité des ouvrages d’approvisionnement en eau potable. . Nous nous proposons de rendre fonctionnels tous les ouvrages existants. Pour ce faire, notre action vise à atteindre les quatre (4) résultats ci-après : - Des ouvrages d’AEP non fonctionnels sont réhabilités ; - Le dispositif d’entretien et de maintenance des ouvrages d’AEP est performant ; - La gestion des ouvrages d’AEP est améliorée ; - Un système durable de suivi et d’alerte en cas de panne est mis en place et fonctionnelLes populations rurales des communes de Gogounou (département de l’Alibori), Kalalé (département du Borgou) et Ouessè (département des Collines).SNV BeninAkvo FoundationAssociation Nationale d’Amitié avec les peuples (ANAP) ONG+229 21 04 64 28ong_anap@hotmail.com08 BP 30 Cotonou Tripostal10.78899 2.61892710.29013 3.3817268.495962 2.42334210.29013 3.3817268.495962 2.42334212904.0093117.0038979.0029000.001ère tranche de paiementSNV Benin12904.00Total des dépenses de ANAP pour l'année 2018.145000.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à ANAP.SNV Benin92210.002ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin93117.00Total des dépenses de ANAP pour l'année 2019.7041.003ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin9499.004ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin35643.00Total des dépenses de ANAP pour ses mois d'activités en 2020 (mais 3.336 saisis en 2021)3914.005ème tranche de paiementSNV BeninCet indicateur de EKN est renseigné par l'indicateur du projet "Nombre d’EPE additionnels créés". Il s'agit de l'ensemble des points d'eau en panne réparés avec l'appui du projet au démarrage.21-08-2019: Les 176 EPE seront réhabilités en 2019.28-03-2020: Les travaux de réparation des pompes se poursuivent dans la commune de Kalalé pour s'achever en janvier.Le projet de ANAP a été prolongé du 07/12/19 au 06/03/20 pour qu'ils puissent atteindre les résultats fixés.05-05-2020: La commune de Kalalé a trouvé de ressources supplémentaires qui lui permettra de réparer plus de pompes que prévues. Ce qui portera les réalisations de la commune à 93 pompes sur 80 programmées. À terme le total de pompes réparées pour les trois communes passera à 203 sur 176 programmées soit un taux de 115%.Le stock des pièces de rechange est disponible dans chaque commune et bien géré.16-07-2020: Le terme de magasin ne désigne pas des dépositaires ou fournisseurs de pièces de rechange installés dans les communes pour le business. Aucune des trois communes n'a installé d'opérateur privé dans le secteur. Les magasins en question désigne ici un local dans l'enceinte de la mairie destiné à recevoir les pièces de rechange acquises sur le budget de la commune.16-07-2020: Il reste le magasin au niveau de la Commune de Ouessé, car les deux autres (Gogounou et Kalalé) disposent d'un magasin de stockage de pièces de rechange approvisionnés et bien gérés depuis fin 2018. Cependant, à Ouessé le magasin n'est pas fonctionnel car ils n'ont pas réussi à avoir un stock, le résultat escompté n'est donc pas atteint.Le projet de ANAP a été prolongé du 07/12/19 au 06/03/20 pour qu'ils puissent atteindre les résultats fixés.05-05-2020: Ouessé ne fonctionne pas : ils n'ont pas de stock donc le résultat pour la période est 0Cet indicateur renseigne sur le niveau de satisfaction des utilisateurs de services du secteur privé.05-05-2020: Les 16% des personnes satisfaites avant l'intervention du projet sont maintenues satisfaites soit 150 ménages sur 943 enquêtés à la fin.Ce chiffre est en pourcentage. Pour avoir 80% il faut que sur les 943 ménages enquêtés au moins 754 soient satisfaits. De ces 754, les 150 (16%) ménages qui déjà un score de 4 et 5 doivent être maintenus. Il y a donc 604 nouveaux ménages (64%) à satisfaire.06-05-2020: 559 nouveaux ménages satisfaits et les 150 de départ (2018) sont maintenus, il y a donc 76% de ménages satisfaits en 2019. LES CIBLES / SCORES NE SONT PAS CUMULATIFS, ce sont les mêmes ménages qui sont considérés chaque année, tous pouvant voir leur satisfaction s'améliorer, chuter ou se maintenir au niveau maximal.Les 5% de ménages restants.06-05-2020: Finalement les 709 ménages déjà satisfaits en 2018 et 2019 ont été maintenus et 175 ménages supplémentaires ont été satisfaits, essentiellement dans la commune de Kalalé ou le niveau de satisfaction des ménages passe de de "Je suis insatisfait du service d'eau fourni à mon ménage par mon (mes) fournisseur(s) de service d'eau" à "je suis satisfait". Au total du projet, il était attendu que 80% de 943 ménages soient satisfaits à la fin, et finalement 884 ménages le sont soit près de 94% des ménages enquêtés contre 80% ciblés, d'environ 14% de satisfaits en plus. LES CIBLES / SCORES NE SONT PAS CUMULATIFS, ce sont les mêmes ménages qui sont considérés chaque année, tous pouvant voir leur satisfaction s'améliorer, chuter ou se maintenir au niveau maximal.Cibles finale à atteindre 37850 personnes touchées par les campagnes de CCC. Il s'agit du nombre de femmes et d'hommes ayant participé à la séance d'animation dans les villages de mise en oeuvre.Valeur atteinte 1170 personnes touchées par les campagnes de CCC.21-08-2019: Sensibilisation sur la propreté due au point d'eau et le puisage hygiénique de l'eau. 56% des personnes qui y ont assisté sont des femmes.05-05-2020: De ce chiffre, 21.686 personnes physiques, dont 2.242 femmes soit (55%), ont participé aux différentes réunions de sensibilisation sur les deux thèmes présentés par les animateurs : propreté autour du point d'eau et puisage hygiénique de l'eau, ainsi que le puisage hygiénique, transport, stockage et utilisation de l'eau. Les autres personnes sont celles qui pont suivi les émissions radiophoniques dans la commune de Ouessè : 36.862 personnes sont estimées avoir écouté les émissions radiophoniques sur les deux thèmes déroulées par les animateurs.05-05-2020: Ce résultat correspond au nombre de personnes (dont 36.820 de femmes) touchées par les sensibilisations par les radio de Nikki et Gogounou. Pas de sensibilisations directes par les animateurs en 2020Cet indicateur se focalise sur la gestion des points d'eau. Il se concentre sur quelques critères essentiels de la gestion des points d'eau. Le nombre indiqué dans ce résultat correspond au nombre d'ouvrages d'eau qui ont réalisé un progrès dans la gestion du SPE.05-05-2020: Pas de progrès encore.Le but est d'avoir une bonne gestion pour les 190 FPM : maintenir les 2 qui ont un score maximum et renforcer les autres soit 188.05-05-2020: 171 ouvrages ont progressé (90%) et 2 ont été maintenus au score maximal. Sur le total, seuls 46 points d'eau (24%) ont un score compris entre 3 et 5, remplissant les normes de bonne gestion.06-05-2020: LES SCORES NE SONT PAS CUMULATIFS, ce sont les mêmes points d'eau. En 2020, 144 points d'eau ont progressé, 24 sont maintenus au score maximal, 22 sont restés stables mais à un niveau inférieur au niveau maximal sur l'échelle des scores de gestion et ne sont donc pas comptabilisés ici. Sur le projet nous avons enquêté 190 points d'eau : 188 points d'eau ont amélioré leur gestion et 2 ont maintenu le score maximal. Au total sur le projet, 166 ont un score de bonne gestion compris entre 3.0-3.9 et 24 entre 4.0-5.0. Nous pouvons constater que les 190 points d'eau sont dans la zone de gestion acceptable même si des progrès sont encore attendus sur les 166 qui doivent passer au score maximal (5.0).Les projets signalent le nombre de personnes qui ont acquis un nouvel emploi équivalents temps plein (ETP) créés et / ou donnant au moins droit au Salaire Minimum Interprofessionnel Garanti (SMIG) qui est de 40.000 FCFA au cours de la période considérée.05-05-2020: Sur l'ensemble des 155 pompes réparés pour le moment 110 délégataires dont 12 femmes et 38 jeunes hommes sur lesquels nous pouvons considérer que l'eau est vendue pendant au moins 7 mois dans l'année.05-05-2020: Pas de nouveau emplois de jeunes hommes ou de femmes délégataires sur la période 2020.Cet indicateur de EKN est renseigné par 2 indicateurs du projet : - Nombre d’ACEP renforcées.

Par ailleurs, 9 membres communaux / membres du consortium Nim Buram ont été formés à l'application permettant la réduction du délai moyen d’alerte du maître d’ouvrage en cas de panne d'un point d'eau.Le nombre de point d’eau pour lesquels les pannes ont été réparées en moins de 24H.​Le temps d'alerte des délégataires d'ouvrage à la commune lors d'une panne est en moyenne de 15 jours au début du projet. On veut une réduction du nombre de jour d'intervention donc les résultats à atteindre sont en nombre de jour. A la fin du projet le temps d'alerte des délégataires d'ouvrage à la commune lors que subvient une panne doit être de 1 jour.A la fin du projet le temps d'alerte des délégataires d'ouvrage à la commune lors que subvient une panne doit être de 1 jour.A la fin du projet le temps d'alerte des délégataires d'ouvrage à la commune lors que subvient une panne doit être de 1 JOUR28-03-2020: Cet indicateur sera mesuré en 2020 quand l'application mobile sera utilisée dans les communes.05-05-2020: Pas de résultat car l'application est encore en expérimentation mais nous pensons que l'indicateur sera atteint au cours de l'année 2020.NL-KVK-41152786-5069a-2SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationANE OmiDelta AEPHAL'objectif de ce projet est l'accompagnement à la maîtrise d’ouvrage communale en hygiène et assainissement dans les communes ayant atteint l’état Fin de Défécation à l’Air Libre (FDAL). Ce projet doit ainsi permettre à 96000 personnes réparties dans 1600 menages de 400 localités FDAL des communes de Kandi, Malanville et Karimama d'avoir accès aux services d'eau potable durables et de qualité et aux servcies d'hygiene et d'assainissement améliorés.La stratégie nationale axée sur l’Assainissement Total Piloté par les Communautés (ATPC) est l’une des réponses pour améliorer les conditions d’hygiène et d’assainissement des communautés. Dans le souci d’accompagner le gouvernement béninois à l’atteinte de ses objectifs en matière d’hygiène et assainissement de base, l’UNICEF a appuyé la DNSP pour l’élaboration de la Stratégie Nationale pour la Promotion de l’Hygiène et de l’Assainissement de Base (SNPHAB) 2013 – 2017. Toutefois, dans les communes d’intervention de l’action, les acteurs sont confrontés à un certain nombre de contraintes et expriment encore des besoins. Ce projet est donc le prolongement des activités d’ATPC qui ont été menées dans les communes d’intervention avec l’appui de l’UNICEF depuis fin 2015.A long terme, la mise en œuvre du projet permettra de réduire considérablement les dépenses de soin des ménages liées aux maladies causées par la consommation de l’eau non potable, au manque d’hygiène et à l’insalubrité. Plusieurs activités vont mener à la durabilité du projet : séances de déclenchement, de sensibilisation et de formation ; l’assainissement des lieux publics ; le dispositif de suivi post FDAL dans les villages ; la diffusion des résultats du projet et possibilités de reproduction et d’extension des résultats.L'objectif global est de contribuer à l’amélioration durable de l’accès des populations des communes de Malanville, Karimama et Kandi aux services d’AEPHA. L’atteinte de cet objectif global passe par celui de trois (3) objectifs spécifiques à savoir : - Promouvoir le maintien de la fin de la défécation à l’air libre - Développer l’offre de services HA de qualité tout en créant des emplois durables et décents pour les femmes et les jeunes - Renforcer la maîtrise d’ouvrage communale dans le secteur AEPHALes populations/communautés rurales des 3 Communes choisies comme zone d'intervention, mais aussi les comités locaux d’assainissement et les leaders naturels, ainsi que les autorités locales et communales.SNV BeninAkvo FoundationSIA N'SON+229 22-15-53-23sianson_ong95@yahoo.frBP 488 Parakou11.863333 3.38424712.069425 3.18424211.1305191 2.932578520719.00145410.00110824.0013867.0035000.001ère tranche de paiementSNV Benin20719.00Total des dépenses de SIA N'SON pour l'année 2018.66335.002ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin175000.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à SIA N'SON.SNV Benin110824.00Total des dépenses de SIA N'SON de l'année 2019.SIA N'SON ONG59290.003ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin5625.004ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin39267.00Total des dépenses de SIA N'SON pour ses mois d'activités sur son projet AEPHA de petite taille en 2020..29082.001ère tranche de paiement à SIA N'SON pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin33108.002ème tranche de paiement à SIA N'SON pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin141269.00Total des dépenses de SIA N'SON pour ses mois d'activités sur son projet Covid en 2020.33108.003ème tranche de paiement à SIA N'SON pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin34926.004ème tranche de paiement à SIA N'SON pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin11045.005ème tranche de paiement à SIA N'SON pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin4559.006ème tranche de paiement à SIA N'SON pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin145410.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à SIA N'SON pour son projet Covid.SNV BeninCet indicateur de EKN est renseigné par l'indicateur du projet : Nombre d’ouvrages d’hygiène et assainissement familiaux réalisés.

Dans les 12 localités restantes, la mobilité de la population a rendu difficile la poursuite des activités par les Comités Locaux d'Assainissement et Leaders Naturels.24-02-2021: 105.364 personnes (h/f) sur 108.000 prévues vivent dans un cadre assaini. Le gap de 2.636 correspond aux personnes vivant dans les localités où les CLA et LN n'ont pas pu mener leurs activités.Outcome de leur petit projet Covid24-02-2021: 7.214 personnes (h/f) usagères de institutions sur 7.200 prévues ont été sensibilisées par les LN et facilitateurs sur l'observance des mesures barrières24-02-2021: A la fin du 1er bimestre, seuls 25% des personnes usagères des institutions / lieux publics respectaient les mesures barrières et au second bimestre cela avait progressé jusqu'à 50%. Ainsi, 50% des personnes, usagères des institutions et lieux publics respectent les mesures barrières sur 80% prévues.Outcome de leur petit projet Covid24-02-2021: 420 kits (DLM et savon) ont été mis en place dans les institutions / lieux publics (écoles, mairie, centres de santé, etc.) à raison parfois de plusieurs kits par oganisation.24-02-2021: 148 institutions (écoles, Mairies, centres de santé, etc.) ont reçu les Kits d'HA (420 DLM modernes distribués). Pour chaque DLM, 2 pains de savon palmida et 2 savon boule étaient distribués pour les centres de santé, CPS, Mairies et bureaux d'arrondissement et pour 1 DLM, 3 pains de savons palmida et 3 savons boules pour les écoles. En plus, 3.500 masques ont été distribués aux écoliers, enseignants24-02-2021: Suite à la responsabilisation de personnes en leur sein, certaines institutions renouvellent automatiquement le savon, l'eau et réparent même le DLM losqu'il est défectueux. D'autres (les 64 institutions restantes), attendent une assistance externe ou utilisent le DLM sans les accessoires.NL-KVK-41152786-5069a-3SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationANE OmiDelta AEPHAPour répondre à un besoin crucial, AProDESE se propose de réaliser trois Postes d’Eau Autonomes (PEA) dans les trois quartiers de Parakou les plus vulnérables en matière de besoin d’eau potable. L’extension de la SBEE n’ayant pas encore atteint ces quartiers, ces ouvrages seront alimentés par un système d’énergie solaire. En effet, la nécessité de réaliser ces PEA dans ces zones est justifiée par le fait que dans chacun de ces quartiers ciblés, les populations avoisinent 1000 habitants, alors que selon les normes nationales, pour une population de 250 habitants, il faut un équivalent point d’eau potable. Par ailleurs, des enquêtes récentes ont montré qu’aucune réalisation d’ouvrage d’eau potable dans ces quartiers n’est prévue par la Mairie ou les structures étatiques dans les 5 ans à venir, alors que les besoins sont énormes et urgents dans la zone urbanisée de la commune.La situation socio-économique et environnementale de la commune de Parakou, les conditions d’accès à l’eau potable sont difficiles ; ce qui affecte sérieusement la santé des populations, surtout la population infantile. A cela, s’ajoutent les énormes pertes de temps qui coûtent chères aux femmes qui sacrifient la bonne partie de leur temps de travail pour la corvée d’eau potable. Elles effectuent de très grandes distances avant de trouver une bassine d’eau. Parfois, elles sont confrontées aux problèmes de longues files d’attentes en saison sèche. C’est pour apporter une solution à ces problèmes que AProDESE se propose de réhabiliter des kiosques à eau dans ces quartiers.Pour assurer la durabilité du projet , AProDESE se doit de planifier des activités d’appui pour la pérennisation des impacts au profit des acteurs de la commune par le transfert des compétences en matière de connaissance et d’utilisation des outils de veille citoyenne, de plaidoyers et des interpellations à l’endroit de structures étatiques (CDC-HAB ; Service Eau Borgou) et Autorités communales. A la fin du déroulement des activités contractuelles, AProDESE ne se retirera pas. Il jouera donc un rôle d’appui conseils et si nécessaire d’assistance technique en cas de sollicitation des bénéficiaires qui prendront la relève pour jouer leur rôle d’appropriation des acquis.L’objectif principal de l’action est de contribuer à l’accès équitable et durable aux services AEPHA de qualité des populations dans la zone périurbaine de la Commune de Parakou. Pour atteindre cet objectif global, l’action a été circonscrite à un objectif spécifique, libellé comme suit : améliorer de façon durable la disponibilité et l'utilisation des services d’Approvisionnement en Eau Potable, d’Hygiène et d’Assainissement par les populations.Les ménages dépourvus de point d'eau ainsi que les femmes, jeunes, groupes minoritaires ou marginalisés seront les cibles directes.SNV BeninAkvo FoundationAssociation de Promotion du Développement Economique, Social et de la protection de l’Environnement00229.23.61.37.47apropkou@yahoo.frBP : 447 Parakou9.346682 2.60900439512.00158316.00100325.0027967.001ère tranche de paiementSNV Benin13930.002ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin39512.00Total des dépenses de AProDESE pour l'année 2018.AProDESE ONG62496.003ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin139837.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à AProDESE pour son projet PACEPHA..SNV Benin99905.00Total des dépenses de AProDESE de l'année 2019.28451.004ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin31663.001ère tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin35643.002ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin154124.00Total des dépenses de AProDESE pour ses activités sur le petit projet Covid en 2020 (dont 8,253 saisis en 2021).35643.003ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin22867.004ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin6648.005ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin20529.006ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin4182.007ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin3521.008ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE pour le petit projet CovidSNV Benin4131.009ème tranche de paiement à AProDESE y inclus petit projet Covid (solde 2020)SNV Benin158316.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à AProDESE pour son projet PriCovid.SNV Benin4131.00Total des dépenses de AProDESE petit projet Covid (solde 2020)Cet indicateur de EKN sera renseigné avec l'indicateur du projet : - Nombre d’équivalents point d’eau (EPE) additionnels créés de manière durable16-04-2019: 09 kiosques correspondants à 2 EPE, et 02 kiosques correspondants à 3 EPE ont été réhabilités et mis en service, ainsi que 50 FPM, correspondants à 50 EPE ont été optimisés.30-03-2020: En 2019, il y a eu redéploiement de 17 compteurs vers 17 nouveaux FPM ; ce qui a entraîné l'optimisation des 12 EPE des PEA prévus et de 17 EPE des FPM supplémentaires.

Il se concentre sur quelques critères essentiels de la gestion des points d'eau. Le nombre indiqué dans ce résultat correspond au nombre d'ouvrages d'eau qui ont réalisé un progrès dans la gestion du SPE.18-04-2019: Le progrès sera mesuré en 2019.​01-07-2020: Sur le projet nous avons enquêté 81 points d'eau : 76 points d'eau ont amélioré leur gestion. Au total 56 points d'eau ont un score de bonne gestion compris entre 3.0-3.9 et 11 entre 4.0-5.0 (score maximal). Toutefois, 5 ont toujours un score minimal compris entre 1.0-1.9. Ainsi, des progrès sont encore attendus sur les 70 points d'eau restants à passer au score maximal. Ce score sera approchable notamment si des améliorations sont réalisées sur le temps de réponse lié à la réparation des pannes.Outcome de leur petit projet CovidOutcome de leur petit projet Covid24-02-2021: Tous les 548 ménages prévus ont été dotés de kits contre la pandémie du coronavirus.24-02-2021: Tous les 200 lauréats aux jeux concours ont été primés par les kits informatifs.Outcome de leur petit projet Covid24-02-2021: Des 15 localités disposant d'un Comité Local d'Assainissement (CLA), la localité d'Alafiarou est quand à elle subdivisée en 2 localités indépendantes avec chacune 1 CLA. Ce qui porte le nombre total de localités à 16.24-02-2021: Chacun des 16 CLA rendus fonctionnels a réalisé 02 campagnes de salubrité.24-02-2021: Les personnes vivant dans les localités prévues disposent d'un cadre de vie assaini. Le dénombrement est basé sur l'actualisation de la population des localités bénéficiant d'un CLA (de 2013 à 2020, selon les résultats du RGPH4).Outcome de leur petit projet Covid24-02-2021: En dehors des 134 DLM prévus et réalisés, 2 DLM supplémentaires ont été réalisés au profit du marché (qui en reçois 3 au total).24-02-2021: Après réajustement, certaines institutions ont reçu 02 DLM contre 01 prévu initialement.24-02-2021: Sur 134 prévu, 130 Comités de Gestion et de Renouvellement des Kits d'HA (CGRK-HA) sont mis en place et cela correspond au nombre total d'institutions qui ont reçu de DLM.24-02-2021: 40 affiches métalliques informatives sont installées au niveau des institutions/lieux publics prévus.Outcome de leur petit projet Covid24-02-2021: Les personnes usagères des institutions/lieux publics (16 écoles, 02 marchés, 20 lieux de culte, 02 centres pour handicapés) ont été touchées par les CCC. Ce sont notamment celles effectuées dans les 02 marchés ciblés qui ont permis de toucher une plus large cible supplémentaire.24-02-2021: L'évidence du caractère sévère de la pandémie du Coronavirus a entraîné une prise de conscience généralisée et amené les usagers/ères au changement positif de comportement.NL-KVK-41152786-5069a-4SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationANE OmiDelta AEPHAxxxSelon la Revue Sectorielle Eau et Assainissement (BPO 2015) le taux de desserte en eau potable du milieu rural et semi urbain est de 68,10%. Mais sur 2.919 prélèvements effectués dans les ménages et analysés suivant la méthodologie de contrôle en 3 points initiée en 2013 et faisant partie intégrante du Plan triennal de SSQE au titre du sondage initial dans le test de SNPHAB soutenu par l'UNICEF et la DGIS, le taux de conformité à la source est de 78,47% alors qu’au lieu de stockage (domicile) il est de 23,68% seulement. En outre, les résultats de l'enquête de base sur la qualité de l’eau de boisson au sein des ménages des villages pilotes ATPC dans le département du Zou (DNSP, Octobre 2014) montrent que seulement 25% des ménages enquêtés s'approvisionnent en eau de boisson aux sources d’eau potable contre 75% aux sources alternatives. Également, l’existence des problèmes liés à la gestion pérenne des ouvrages hydrauliques fait qu’une partie de la population qui a théoriquement accès à l’eau potable continue d’utiliser les sources d’eau non potable. Plusieurs actions ont été mises en œuvre par le Bénin grâce à l’appui des partenaires techniques et financiers pour la promotion de l’hygiène et de l’assainissement dans les communautés avec l’approche ATPC. A l’instar de plusieurs autres communes du Bénin, les trois communes de la zone sanitaire DAA (Djidja, Abomey, Agbangnizoun) ont bénéficié de cet appui à travers le programme DGIS/UNICEF avec en point de mire l’éradication de la défécation à l’air libre et la promotion des bonnes pratiques d’hygiène et d’assainissement. Ainsi, de 2014 à 2017, 675 localités ont atteint l’état de fin de défécation à l’air libre (FDAL) dans les trois communes. Mais force est de reconnaitre que les résultats ne sont pas encore à la hauteur des attentes et que la durabilité de l’accès aux services d’hygiène et d’assainissement et du changement de comportements ainsi que l’implication réelle et la participation des acteurs communautaires et des communes restent encore un enjeu majeur.La durabilité du projet concerne la pérennité de l’accès aux services d’hygiène et d’assainissement et du changement de comportements, ainsi que l’implication réelle et la participation des acteurs communautaires et des communes restent encore un enjeu majeur. Pour cela, la durabilité financière, technique, institutionnelle, environnementale et sociale seront pris en compte.Le projet vise à accompagner les communautés et les communes à améliorer l’accès et la qualité des services d’hygiène et d’assainissement. Ainsi, le projet vise à : - Améliorer les conditions d’accès et d’utilisation des infrastructures d’hygiène et d’assainissement - Améliorer l’offre de services d’hygiène et d’assainissement en promouvant des emplois pour les jeunes et les femmes - Améliorer l’hygiène de l’eau de boisson au niveau des ménages - Amener les communes à s’impliquer davantage dans la mise en œuvre et le suivi des actions d’hygiène et d’assainissementLes ménages des zones d'intervention et les acteurs locaux et communaux.SNV BeninAkvo FoundationAERAMR+229 95 58 65 18aeramr@yahoo.frBP 299 Abomey-Calavi7.346157 1.9355787.185477 1.9979417.072623 1.96369125121.0015025.0091247.0028632.0029000.001ère tranche de paiementSNV Benin25121.00Total des dépenses de AERAMR pour l'année 2018.60559.002ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin145000.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à AERAMR pour son projet AEPHA.SNV Benin48191.003ème tranche de paiementSNV Benin85513.00Total des dépenses de AERAMR pour l'année 2019.21414.00Total des dépenses de AERAMR pour ses mois d'activités en 2020.15025.00Montant prévu par le contrat qui sera versé par la SNV à AERAMR pour ses activités de consolidation.SNV Benin14273.004ème tranche de paiement AERAMR pour consolidation des activitésSNV Benin15025.00Total des dépenses de AERAMR pour ses activités de consolidaiton en 20221566.00Virement du solde de AERAMR sur OmiDeltaSNV Benin2 indicateurs du projet sont utilisés pour renseigner cet indicateur : - Nombre de personnes vivant dans les communautés qui ont mis fin à la défécation à l’air libre : cible finale 25920 - Nombre de localités ayant maintenu l’état de Fin de Défécation à l’Air Libre (FDAL) : cible finale 1088034 personnes ont mis fin à la défécation à l'air libre (DAL) réparties dans 17 localités sur 149 étudiées.Résultat quantitatif au 31 décembre 2018 : 1648 personnes dans 37 localités (sur 6 ciblées pour la période).28-03-2020: 9250 personnes ont mis fin à la Défécation à l'Air Libre (DAL) dans 37 localités(sur 108 ciblées au total).Au sein de 72 localités.28-03-2020: Dans les 73 localités qui ont maintenu l'état FDAL et 21 nouvelles localités qui ont mis fin à la DAL.L'indicateur de EKN est renseigné par l'indicateur : Nombre d’ouvrages d’hygiène et assainissement familiaux améliorés / durables réalisésLe résultat quantitatif atteint pour la période est de 36 au vu de l'engouement suscité au sein des communauté.17-04-2019: Les groupes de tontines ont été mis en place pour la réalisation des latrines, puis les 36 latrines réalisées ont aussitôt été utilisées par les ménages.28-03-2020: La volonté et la capacité des ménages à réaliser des latrines améliorées ont permis d'atteindre ce résultat : 529 réalisées et 1589 réhabilités.Cet indicateur se focalise sur la gestion des ouvrages.

Le programme OmiDelta prévoit de développer 3 instruments à savoir : un guichet d’appui gouvernemental, une structure d'assistance technique et un Fonds d’appui aux acteurs non étatiques. La gestion du Fonds ANE est confiée à l’Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement (SNV) et couvrira une période de 4,5 ans du 1er décembre 2016 au 30 juin 2021. Le Fonds vise à financer les Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG), les Organisations de la Société Civile (OSC) et les Organisations du Secteur Privé (OSP) pour la mise en œuvre de projets et initiatives ayant pour objectif (i) d’améliorer l’accès, l’utilisation, la qualité et la durabilité des services d’Approvisionnement en Eau Potable, Hygiène et Assainissement (AEPHA) et (ii) d’opérationnaliser la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau (GIRE) au Bénin au travers d’actions concrètes. Le Fonds prévoit également le développement de thèmes transversaux notamment la gouvernance, le genre, l’emploi des jeunes et le changement climatique comme partie intégrante aux projets qui seront financés. En tant que gestionnaire du Fonds, la SNV supervisera l'ensemble du processus de gestion des projets afin d'assurer la pertinence, un bon rapport qualité-prix et une bonne qualité de mise en œuvre des projets. Les responsabilités de la SNV comprennent, entre autres, la sélection des projets et des organisations exécutantes, le suivi et l'évaluation du processus de mise en œuvre, et la fourniture d'un soutien administratif, financier et technique si nécessaire.L’APB à Cotonou a commencé à appuyer le secteur de l’eau du Bénin depuis 2004. Divers programmes tels que EAU I, EAU II et EAU III, 9 AEV, PPPLM, et NPT ProfEau ont été mis en œuvre. Ils visaient, notamment à expérimenter dans le secteur de l’eau l’approche sectorielle, la décentralisation / déconcentration et l’alignement sur les procédures nationales pour assurer une meilleure appropriation et durabilité des résultats. De 2007-2012, le Programme Pluriannuel d’appui au secteur Eau et Assainissement (PPEAI) suivit de PPEAII (2013) visaient la transition vers un appui budgétaire sectoriel et une approche sectorielle dans les secteurs de l’accès à l’eau potable, l’assainissement, l’hygiène et la gestion des ressources en eau. Enfin, le Fonds de Transition d’Eau de 2016-2017, suivi du Programme d’Eau prévu de 2017 à 2021 ont rétabli la collaboration bilatérale entre le Bénin et les Pays-Bas afin de satisfaire les besoins pressants du secteur. La formulation du Programme d’Eau dont fait partie OmiDelta intervient à un moment où les stratégies d’approvisionnement en eau potable au Bénin sont en pleine actualisation. Il en est de même pour le document de stratégie de croissance pour la réduction de la pauvreté et celle de la promotion de l’hygiène et de l’assainissement de base en faisant de l’Assainissement Total Piloté par les Communautés (ATPC) la méthode phare d’intervention en milieu rural. De plus, les documents de politique et stratégies sur le genre, la décentralisation et l’intégration des jeunes dans le secteur de l’eau et de l’assainissement font partie des préoccupations phares de ce programme.L'étude permettant de faire l'état de la situation au début du projet est réalisée en novembre et décembre 2018. Cette étude a concerné les indicateurs des 3 outcomes clés à renseigner par la SNV à savoir : • Nombre de personnes (h/f) ayant accès et qui utilisent des services d’alimentation en eau potable (urbain/rural) • Nombre de personnes (f/h) ayant accès et qui utilisent les services d’hygiène et d’assainissement (urbain/rural) • Nombre de personnes (f/h) qui adoptent les bonnes pratiques en matière d’hygiène et assainissement (urbain/rural) Le rapport de l'étude est téléchargé sur cette page.La durabilité des projets AEPHA s’apprécie sous plusieurs angles à savoir : la durabilité financière, la durabilité institutionnelle, la durabilité environnementale, la durabilité technique, la durabilité sociale (FIETS). Les interventions du programme doivent assurer un effet qui perdure pendant au moins 15 ans à compter du démarrage du programme. Pour cela, le programme développera des stratégies pour responsabiliser les acteurs dans ce sens. Les activités qui seront mise en œuvre incluent un appui au cadre politique et stratégique pour le développement des mécanismes qui assurent la pérennisation des acquis.L'objectif général de OmiDelta Fonds ANE est de contribuer à ce que « Les populations pauvres et vulnérables vivant dans les zones couvertes par OmiDelta Fonds ANE aient un accès équitable, utilisent les services AEPHA durables et jouissent de la mise en œuvre de la GIRE ». L’objectif spécifique de AEPHA est "Accroissement de l'accès et de l'utilisation des services AEPHA durables par les populations pauvres et vulnérables". L’impact global visé par les projets AEPHA de OmiDelta Fonds ANE est : • Au moins 140.000 femmes, hommes et enfants ont accès aux services d’eau durable et de qualité • Au moins 340.000 femmes, hommes et enfants ont accès aux services d’hygiène et d’assainissement améliorésDeux catégories d'organisations sont ciblées pour bénéficier des fonds ANE du Programme OmiDelta pour les projets AEPHA : • ONG et OSP nationales pour la mise en œuvre de projets de petite taille • ONG internationales ou ONG nationales de grande envergure pour la mise en œuvre de projets de grande taille Les groupes cibles des projets AEPHA sont les populations pauvres et vulnérables qui n'ont pas accès à des services d’approvisionnement en Eau Potable, d'Hygiène et d'Assainissement (AEPHA) durables et de qualité améliorée. En outre, le thème transversal de la gouvernance cible plus spécifiquement les organisations locales de la société civile qui veillent au Contrôle Citoyen de l'Action Publique (CCAP), soutiennent les pratiques de la reddition de comptes par les élus locaux, et encouragent le renforcement des capacités afin de renforcer la gouvernance dans le secteur. Le Fonds ANE se concentrera également sur la promotion de l’égalité genre et de la jeunesse par la mise en place de stratégies de création d’opportunités d’emplois, de conditions de travail et d’initiative de renforcement des capacités favorables aux femmes et aux jeunes dans le secteur.Dutch Ministry of Foreign AffairsSNV BeninSNV BeninAkvo FoundationSNV Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement BéninOmiDelta.ANE@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/project/omi-delta-programme-non-state-actors-fund-omidelta-nsa-fundSNV Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement Rue n°5102, Porte n°225 01 BP1048 Zone Rés.

water (SDG 6.1.1)". Cet outcome contribue au résultat clé et impact global de la composante AEPHA, à savoir "Au moins 140.000 femmes, hommes et enfants ont accès aux services d’eau durable et de qualité." De ces 140.000 personnes, au moins 72.800 sont des femmes ; et par milieu rural : 44.000 personnes sont ciblées dont 22.880 femmes ; et urbain : 96.000 sont ciblées dont 49.920 femmes. Plusieurs indicateurs du Fonds ANE permettent d'atteindre cette cible.Cet indicateur du Fonds ANE correspond exactement au libellé anglais de DGIS / EKN "Number of people using safely managed drinking water services (SDG 6.1.1)". Concernant les niveaux de services, le Fonds ANE respecte les niveaux de services du Programme commun OMS/UNICEF de suivi de l’approvisionnement en eau, de l’assainissement et d’hygiène (JMP). Suivant ces niveaux, le service "optimal / géré en toute sécurité" correspond à un "point d’eau amélioré situé à domicile (branchement particulier)" tel un robinet, qui doit donc être situé à moins de 15 minutes aller-retour et l'eau doit être disponible tout au long de l'année. Au vu des critères du JMP, les ouvrages que nous réalisons (PEA, FPM, Kiosques à eau) ne sont pas des points d’eau améliorés à domicile, nous ne pouvons donc pas renseigner cet indicateur.Cet indicateur mesurant le progrès, aucune personne n’a bénéficié d’une amélioration des conditions d’accès à l’eau potable à l’étape de l’étude de référence. Toutefois l’état de la situation actuelle par niveau de services est renseigné dans le Rapport annuel 2018.Au vu des critères du JMP, les ouvrages que nous réalisons (PEA, FPM, Kiosques) ne sont pas des points d’eau améliorés à domicile, nous ne pouvons donc pas renseigner cet indicateur.27-02-2022: Au vu des critères du JMP, les ouvrages que nous réalisons (PEA, FPM, Kiosques à eau) ne sont pas des points d’eau améliorés à domicile, nous ne pouvons donc pas renseigner cet indicateur. | 27-02-2022: Au vu des critères du JMP, les ouvrages que nous réalisons (PEA, FPM, kiosques) ne sont pas des points d’eau améliorés à domicile, nous ne pouvons donc pas renseigner cet indicateur. | 27-02-2022: Au vu des critères du JMP, les ouvrages que nous réalisons (PEA, FPM, Kiosques) ne sont pas des points d’eau améliorés à domicile, nous ne pouvons donc pas renseigner cet indicateur.Cet indicateur du Fonds ANE, peut aussi permettre de renseigner l'indicateur de DGIS / EKN "Number of people using safely managed drinking water services (SDG 6.1.1)". Concernant les niveaux de services, le Fonds ANE renseigne ici le niveau "basique" selon les niveaux de services du Programme commun OMS/UNICEF de suivi de l’approvisionnement en eau, de l’assainissement et d’hygiène (JMP). Suivant ces niveaux, le service "basique" correspond à un " Point d’eau amélioré", telle une borne Fontaine (BF), situé entre 15 et 30 minutes aller-retour du domicile et dont l'eau est disponible 10 à 11 mois par an. Au vu des critères du JMP, Le Fonds ANE considère que les kiosques et FPM créés ou réhabilités par les projets ont un niveau basique. (Le nombre d'écoliers ayant accès à l'eau au niveau des kiosques à eau construits dans les écoles ne sont pas comptabilisé au niveau de cet indicateur). La cible finale de cet indicateur est 131.100 personnes dont 68.000 femmes. Milieu rural : 44.000 personnes dont 23.000 femmes ; et milieu urbain : 87.100 personnes dont 45.000 femmes.Cet indicateur mesurant le progrès, aucune personne n’a bénéficié d’une amélioration des conditions d’accès à l’eau potable à l’étape de l’étude de référence. Toutefois l’état de la situation actuelle par niveau de services est renseigné dans le Rapport annuel 2018.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets.

Pour l'année 2020, le Fonds ANE a atteint 61.500 dont 31.980 femmes. Milieu rural = 41.500 personnes dont 21.580 femmes ; et milieu urbain = 20.000 personnes dont 10.400 femmes. La cible a été largement dépassée notamment car les 2 projets Covid et les activités Covid menées par les projets des composantes AEPHA et GIRE ont permis de contribuer à hauteur de 18.000 personnes dont 9.360 femmes en milieu rural pour ce résultat, ce qui n'était évidemment pas prévu.Les ouvrages doivent tous avoir été créés et réhabilités d'ici la fin 2020 permettant l'accès aux personnes ciblées.27-02-2022: On considère que les kiosques à eau et FPM créés ou réhabilités par les projets ont un niveau basique. Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés dans le rapport de l'étude d'impact final lorsque l'analyse des données sera finalisée. Pour l'année 2021, le Fonds ANE a atteint 11.250 dont 5.800 femmes en milieu rural uniquement. L'écart s'explique par le fait que pour compenser la non-réalisation de la STBV, le projet de Oxfam a finalement réhabilité un total de 49 FPM dont 4 d’entre eux ont été réhabilités en milieu scolaire et les écoliers ne sont pas comptabilisés ici.Cet indicateur du Fonds ANE, peut aussi permettre de renseigner l'indicateur de DGIS / EKN "Number of people using safely managed drinking water services (SDG 6.1.1)". Cet indicateur a été ajouté suite aux réorientations : sont dénombrés ici le nombre de personnes additionnelles ayant accès à l’eau potable au niveau d’un lieu public (marchés, gares, sanimarchés, péages). La cible finale de cet indicateur est 6.500 dont 3.400 femmes. Milieu rural : 0 et milieu urbain : 6.500 dont 3.400 femmes.L'état de la situation actuelle pour les ouvrages en milieu public ont été renseignés directement au niveau des projets.Cet indicateur a été ajouté en 2019 suite aux réorientations des activités dues aux réformes du sous-secteur de l'Approvisionnement en Eau Potable.26-02-2020: Cet indicateur a été ajouté en 2019 suite aux réorientations des activités dues aux réformes du sous-secteur de l'Approvisionnement en Eau Potable.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets.

Pour l’année 2020, la cible est de 6.500 personnes dont 3.400 femmes.24-02-2021: Sont dénombrés ici le nombre de personnes additionnelles ayant accès à l’eau potable au niveau d’un lieu public (marchés, gares, sanimarchés, péages). Protos, avait prévu de réaliser des points d'eau dans les lieux publics mais finalement les écoles ont été priorisées car le besoin était plus important. Toutefois, bien que cela touche moins de personnes (environ 200 élèves contre 500 personnes dans les espaces publics) la cible finale est atteinte car Helvetas a quant à lui réalisé 05 kiosques en eau supplémentaires au niveau des blocs sanitaires publics. Ainsi, pour l'année 2020, le Fonds ANE a atteint 6.500 personnes dont 3.380 femmes en milieu urbain uniquement.Les kiosques publics doivent tous avoir été créés d'ici la fin 2020 permettant l'accès aux personnes ciblées.27-02-2022: Résultats déjà enregistrés et pas de nouveaux résultats en 2021. (Sont dénombrés ici le nombre de personnes additionnelles ayant accès à l’eau potable au niveau d’un lieu public (marchés, gares routières, sanimarchés)).Cet indicateur correspond à la traduction de l'indicateur de DGIS / EKN "Number of drinking water points constructed".

Cet outcome contribue au résultat clé et impact global de la composante AEPHA, à savoir "Au moins 240.000 femmes, hommes et enfants ont accès aux services d’hygiène et d’assainissement améliorés." De ces 240.000 personnes, au moins 124.800 sont des femmes. Milieu rural : 80.000 personnes sont ciblées dont 41.600 femmes ; et urbain : 160.000 personnes sont ciblées dont 83.200 femmes. Plusieurs indicateurs du Fonds ANE permettent d'atteindre cette cible.Cet indicateur peut aussi permettre de renseigner l'indicateur de DGIS / EKN "Number of people using safely managed sanitation services (SDG 6.1.2)". Concernant les niveaux de services, le Fonds ANE respecte les niveaux de services du Programme commun OMS/UNICEF de suivi de l’approvisionnement en eau, de l’assainissement et d’hygiène (JMP). Suivant ces niveaux, le service "basique" correspond à une latrine adéquate individuelle par unité d’usagers (ménages), une latrine ne présentant pas des risques de contamination humaine, et les rats et les mouches ne peuvent pas y entrer, mais il arrive que la fosse déborde ou fuit et contamine l’environnement. (Le nombre d'écoliers ayant accès aux blocs sanitaires construits au niveau des écoles ne sont pas comptabilisés au niveau de cet indicateur). La cible finale de cet indicateur est 48.000 dont 25.000 femmes. Rural = 36.000 dont 18.700 femmes et urbain : 12.000 dont 6.300 femmes.Aucune personne n’a bénéficié d’une amélioration des conditions d’accès et d’utilisation de l’hygiène et assainissement à l’étape de l’étude de référence. Toutefois l’état de la situation actuelle par niveau de services est renseigné dans le Rapport annuel 2018.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets.

L’écart s’explique car toutes les localités ciblées par SIA N’SON pour l'année n’ont pas atteint l’état FDAL. Les écoliers ne sont pas comptabilisés ici.Les ouvrages doivent tous avoir été créés et réhabilités d'ici la fin 2020 permettant l'accès aux personnes ciblées.27-02-2022: Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés dans le rapport de l'étude d'impact final lorsque l'analyse des données sera finalisée. Pour l'année 2021, le Fonds ANE a atteint 1.040 dont 540 femmes en milieu urbain ont eu une amélioration de leurs conditions en ayant un accès de niveau basique. Les projets ont été prolongés ce qui a permis aux ménages des zones d’intervention des projets de Protos et Helvetas d’acheter des latrines au niveau des sanimarchés/microentrepreneurs.Cet indicateur correspond au libellé anglais de EKN "Number of people living in open defecation free (ODF) communities".

Concernant les niveaux de services, le Fonds ANE respecte les niveaux de services du Programme commun OMS/UNICEF de suivi de l’approvisionnement en eau, de l’assainissement et d’hygiène (JMP). Suivant ces niveaux, le service "optimal / géré en toute sécurité" correspond à une latrine améliorée individuelle par unité d’usagers (ménages), ne présentant pas des risques de contamination humaine, et les rats et les mouches ne peuvent pas y entrer, et les latrines ne présentent pas de risque de contamination de l’environnement : les excréments sont éliminés en toute sécurité sur site ou transportés et traités hors site. Au vu des critères du JMP, le Fonds ANE considère finalement que comme "géré en toute sécurité" les latrines vendues au niveau des sanimarchés.

Pour l'année 2020, le Fonds a atteint 22.267 personnes dont 11.631 femmes en milieu urbain. Bien que les blocs prévus aient été réalisés, l’écart s’explique par le fait qu’ils aient été mis en service fin 2020 voire début 2021 donc le nombre de nouveaux utilisateurs sera rapporté l’année prochaine. Pour 2020 sont donc rapportés les nouveaux utilisateurs des 3 blocs réalisés par Oxfam en 2019 et mis en service début 2020, ainsi que ceux des blocs sanitaires des sanimarchés déjà construits par Protos à Dogbo et Athiémé.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets.

The Ready Made Garment (RMG) sector accounts for 81% of Bangladesh’s total export income. The RMG workers are mostly migrants from disadvantaged backgrounds and lack access to products and services related to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). They also carry misconceptions about health, wellness and SRHR issues, and the cultural, social, workplace and behavioural barriers attached to their lack of knowledge has resulted in workers not accessing these services. Drawing on SNV’s extensive experience of engaging with business communities to promote responsible and inclusive business, the Working with Women Project-2 will integrate three Inclusive Business (IB) models in 10 partner factories to harness market mechanisms for delivering win-win solutions for businesses and their workforce. For the next four years from October 2017 to September 2021, the project will work with 200 factories in Gazipur, Tongi, Savar, and Narayanganj through different mechanisms and platforms, to ensure access to health facilities, including SRHR of garment workers.Goal:To integrate SRHR into RMG medical services and workers utilize those services Outcome 1: RMG Factories incorporate and implement workplace laws & policies on SRHR Outcome 2: RMG workers have improved Knowledge, awareness, access to SRHR information and services Outcome 3: Private sector provide/introduce solutions to ensure SRHR for RMG workersRMG workers at more than 200 factoriesEmbassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshSNV BangladeshBangladesh Institute of Labour StudiesPhulkiUCEP Bangladesh NGOSajeda Foundation BDAkvo FoundationSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationFarhtheeba Rahat KhanTeam Leader, Working with Women Project+88 01713082258FKhan@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/project/working-womenphase-2SNV Netherlands Development Organisation House 11, Road 72 | Gulshan 2, Dhaka | Bangladesh23.623776 90.5000423.900371 90.32722524.105253 90.10505624.024511 90.3936722402556.0014955.00SNV BangladeshBangladesh Institute of Labour Studies11881.00SNV BangladeshPhulki9630.00SNV BangladeshSajeda Foundation BD12281.00SNV BangladeshUCEP Bangladesh NGO10167.00SNV Bangladesh7980.00Pragati Life Insurance Ltd.7980.00SNV BangladeshPragati Life Insurance Ltd.13000.00SNV BangladeshSajeda Foundation Bangaldesh16579.00SNV BangladeshUCEP Bangladesh15250.00SNV BangladeshAlpha Islami Life Insurance11970.00SNV BangladeshPragati Life Insurance Ltd.9444.00SNV BangladeshDutch Bangla Chamber of Commerce and Industries20190.00SNV BangladeshBangladesh Institute of Labour Studies16040.00SNV BangladeshPhulki833.00BGMEA University of Fashion Technology20812.00SNV BangladeshBangladesh Institute of Labour Studies16040.00SNV BangladeshPhulki13000.00SNV BangladeshSajeda Foundation Bangaldesh20548.00SNV BangladeshUCEP Bangladesh7456.00SNV BangladeshAlpha Islami Life Insurance6722.00SNV BangladeshPragati Life Insurance Ltd.20111.00SNV BangladeshDutch Bangla Chamber of Commerce and Industries833.00SNV BangladeshBGMEA University of Fashion Technology20812.00SNV BangladeshBangladesh Institute of Labour Studies16040.00SNV BangladeshPhulki13000.00SNV BangladeshSajeda Foundation Bangaldesh20548.00SNV BangladeshUCEP Bangladesh NGO11183.00SNV BangladeshAlpha Islami Life Insurance10083.00SNV BangladeshPragati Life Insurance Ltd.8333.00SNV BangladeshDutch Bangla Chamber of Commerce and Industries833.00SNV BangladeshBGMEA University of Fashion Technology592901.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshSNV Bangladesh485921.00Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, BangaldeshSNV Bangladesh2402556.00Modern methods are: Pill, Condom, Injectable, IUD, Tubectomy, Vasctomy, Implant; 8 partners factories31-01-2020: Midline assessment results: at Partner factories-76.1; at non-partners factories-76.5; We put here minimum achievement;30-01-2021: captured through monitoring survey 2020; Survey with female workers;31-10-2021: endline evaluation report 29/09/2021; At partner RMG 73.4%, Non-partner RMG 72%10% increased from Baseline31-01-2020: RMG workers' satisfaction on availability of health services at their health center; Midline assessment results;15% increased from baseline30-01-2021: Captured through monitoring survey 2020; Survey with female workers;25% increased from baseline31-10-2021: endline evaluation report 29/09/202131-01-2020: Satisfaction with the quality of services on partner RMG facorie's health center; Midline assessment results;30-01-2021: Captured through monitoring survey 2020; Monitoring Survey with female workers;31-10-2021: endline evaluation report 29/09/202130-01-2021: Captured through monitoring survey 2020; Monitoring Survey with female workers;31-10-2021: endline evaluation report 29/09/202130-01-2021: Captured through monitoring survey 2020; Monitoring Survey with female workers;31-10-2021: endline evaluation report 29/09/202130-04-2019: Auko-tex and Phuki provided FP services29-12-2019: Garments workers (women mainly) are using modern contraceptives | 29-12-2019: Garments workers (women mainly) are using modern contraceptives.

Le programme OmiDelta prévoit de développer 3 instruments à savoir : un guichet d’appui gouvernemental, une structure d'assistance technique et un Fonds d’appui aux acteurs non étatiques. La gestion du Fonds ANE est confiée à l’Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement (SNV) et couvrira une période de 4,5 ans du 1er décembre 2016 au 30 juin 2021. Le Fonds vise à financer les Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG), les Organisations de la Société Civile (OSC) et les Organisations du Secteur Privé (OSP) pour la mise en œuvre de projets et initiatives ayant pour objectif (i) d’améliorer l’accès, l’utilisation, la qualité et la durabilité des services d’Approvisionnement en Eau Potable, Hygiène et Assainissement (AEPHA) et (ii) d’opérationnaliser la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau (GIRE) au Bénin au travers d’actions concrètes. Le Fonds prévoit également le développement de thèmes transversaux notamment la gouvernance, le genre, l’emploi des jeunes et le changement climatique comme partie intégrante aux projets qui seront financés. En tant que gestionnaire du Fonds, la SNV supervisera l'ensemble du processus de gestion des projets afin d'assurer la pertinence, un bon rapport qualité-prix et une bonne qualité de mise en œuvre des projets. Les responsabilités de la SNV comprennent, entre autres, la sélection des projets et des organisations exécutantes, le suivi et l'évaluation du processus de mise en œuvre, et la fourniture d'un soutien administratif, financier et technique si nécessaire.L’APB à Cotonou a commencé à appuyer le secteur de l’eau du Bénin depuis 2004. Divers programmes tels que EAU I, EAU II et EAU III, 9 AEV, PPPLM, et NPT ProfEau ont été mis en œuvre. Ils visaient, notamment à expérimenter dans le secteur de l’eau l’approche sectorielle, la décentralisation / déconcentration et l’alignement sur les procédures nationales pour assurer une meilleure appropriation et durabilité des résultats. De 2007-2012, le Programme Pluriannuel d’appui au secteur Eau et Assainissement (PPEAI) suivit de PPEAII (2013) visaient la transition vers un appui budgétaire sectoriel et une approche sectorielle dans les secteurs de l’accès à l’eau potable, l’assainissement, l’hygiène et la gestion des ressources en eau. Enfin, le Fonds de Transition d’Eau de 2016-2017, suivi du Programme d’Eau prévu de 2017 à 2021 ont rétabli la collaboration bilatérale entre le Bénin et les Pays-Bas afin de satisfaire les besoins pressants du secteur. La formulation du Programme d’Eau dont fait partie OmiDelta intervient à un moment où les stratégies d’approvisionnement en eau potable au Bénin sont en pleine actualisation. Il en est de même pour le document de stratégie de croissance pour la réduction de la pauvreté et celle de la promotion de l’hygiène et de l’assainissement de base en faisant de l’Assainissement Total Piloté par les Communautés (ATPC) la méthode phare d’intervention en milieu rural. De plus, les documents de politique et stratégies sur le genre, la décentralisation et l’intégration des jeunes dans le secteur de l’eau et de l’assainissement font partie des préoccupations phares de ce programme.L'étude permettant de faire l'état de la situation au début du projet est réalisée en août 2019. Cette étude sera complétée en 2020 et concerne les indicateurs des 3 outcomes clés à renseigner par la SNV à savoir : le nombre de personnes (f/h) vivant dans le Delta qui ont adopté des mesures efficaces de résilience et d’adaptation aux changements climatiques ; le taux actuel de préjudices liés aux phénomènes de changements climatiques ; le nombre de personnes (f/h) bénéficiant de l'exploitation durable des ressources en eau. Le rapport de l'étude 2019 est téléchargé sur cette page.La durabilité des projets IWRM s’apprécie sous plusieurs angles à savoir : la durabilité financière, la durabilité institutionnelle, la durabilité environnementale, la durabilité technique, la durabilité sociale (FIETS). Les interventions du programme doivent assurer un effet qui perdure pendant au moins 15 ans à compter du démarrage du programme. Pour cela, le programme développera des stratégies pour responsabiliser les acteurs dans ce sens. Les activités qui seront mise en œuvre incluent un appui au cadre politique et stratégique pour le développement des mécanismes qui assurent la pérennisation des acquis.L'objectif général de OmiDelta Fonds ANE est de contribuer à ce que « Les populations pauvres et vulnérables vivant dans les zones couvertes par OmiDelta Fonds ANE aient un accès équitable, utilisent les services AEPHA durables et jouissent de la mise en œuvre de la GIRE ». L’objectif stratégique de la GIRE est « La Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau (GIRE) du sous bassin de la Basse et Moyenne Vallée de l’Ouémé et en particulier le Delta est assurée pour le bien-être des populations pauvres ». L’impact global visé par les projets GIRE de OmiDelta Fonds ANE est : Au moins 300.000 femmes, hommes et enfants jouissent d’une Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau dans le Delta de l’Ouémé.Deux catégories d'organisations sont ciblées pour bénéficier des fonds ANE du Programme OmiDelta pour les projets GIRE : • ONG et OSP nationales pour la mise en œuvre de projets de petite taille • ONG internationales ou ONG nationales de grande envergure pour la mise en œuvre de projets de grande taille Les groupes cibles des projets GIRE sont les populations qui doivent bénéficier d’une Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau (GIRE) du sous-bassin de la Basse et Moyenne Vallée de l’Ouémé (BMVO) et de la sécurité des deltas. En outre, le thème transversal de la gouvernance cible plus spécifiquement les organisations locales de la société civile qui veillent au Contrôle Citoyen de l'Action Publique (CCAP), soutiennent les pratiques de la reddition de comptes par les élus locaux, et encouragent le renforcement des capacités afin de renforcer la gouvernance dans le secteur. Le Fonds ANE se concentrera également sur la promotion de l’égalité genre et de la jeunesse par la mise en place de stratégies de création d’opportunités d’emplois, de conditions de travail et d’initiative de renforcement des capacités favorables aux femmes et aux jeunes dans le secteur.Dutch Ministry of Foreign AffairsSNV BeninSNV BeninAkvo FoundationSNV Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement BéninOmiDelta.ANE@snv.orghttp://www.snv.org/project/omi-delta-programme-non-state-actors-fund-omidelta-nsa-fundSNV Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement Rue n°5102, Porte n°225 01 BP1048 Zone Rés.

impact global de la composante GIRE, à savoir "Au moins 300.000 femmes, hommes et enfants jouissent d’une Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau dans le Delta de l’Ouémé." De ces 300.000 personnes, au moins 156.000 sont des femmes. Pour la GIRE nous ne faisons pas de distinction milieu rural / urbain mais le projet de VNG intervient principalement en milieu urbain, alors que les zones d’intervention des projets de CIDR et Protos se situent plutôt en milieu rural. Plusieurs indicateurs du Fonds ANE permettent d'atteindre cette cible.Cet indicateur correspond au libellé anglais de DGIS / EKN "Number of people benefiting from improved river basin management and safe deltas". Dans notre système de S&E au niveau des outcomes clés du Fonds ANE, il est rensiegné par 2 indicateurs clé : **1a.** qui mesure le « Nombre de personnes (f/h) vivant dans le Delta qui ont adopté / bénéficié des mesures efficaces de résilience et d’adaptation aux changements climatiques » **et 2a.** « Nombre de personnes (f/h) bénéficiant de l'exploitation durable des ressources en eau » Au début du projet dans notre système de S&E au niveau de notre indicateur **1a.** nous ne comptions pas les personnes touchées (qui ‘bénéficient’) mais uniquement les personnes qui affichent un changement de comportement / adoptent des mesures GIRE ; c'est à dire si la mesure était adoptée dans le sens approuvée, pratiquée et respectée par l’individu / le groupement. Afin de s’arrimer à l'indicateur "A. Nombre de personnes bénéficiant d’une meilleure gestion des bassins versants et de la sécurité des deltas" de APB, notre indicateur clé **1a.** considère désormais les personnes ayant adopté / bénéficié des mesures collectives (impact au niveau du village / d’un groupe : reboisement, digue, surcreusements, etc.) et celles individuelles (impact au niveau de chaque ménage : fascines, diguettes, drains, etc.) mises en œuvre par les projets. Par ailleurs, pour renseigner cet indicateur A. on considère aussi les exploitants (et leurs familles) qui tirent profits de l'exploitation durable des ressources en eau (écotourisme, transport fluvial, valorisation économique de la flore aquatique, etc.) de manière directe ou indirecte (indicateur **2a.** du Fonds ANE). Ces exploitants ont reçu un appui direct des projets de CIDR et Protos. La **cible finale de l’indicateur A. est 310.000 dont 160.000 femmes**. Pour la GIRE, pas de distinction milieu rural / urbain mais les projets interviennent en milieu rural (sauf la digue de Porto-Novo). ​ ​A l’étape de l’étude de référence effectuée en août 2019, et qui sera complété en 2020, aucune personne n’a encore adopté de mesures. Toutefois, l’état de la situation actuelle est renseigné dans le Rapport de la phase 1 de l'étude de référence.Les activités opérationnelles des projets GIRE sont prévues pour 2019.27-02-2020: En 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets donc pas de résultat atteint.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets. En 2019 c'est le début des réalisations pour les mesures collectives et individuelles et l'identification des exploitants qui seront appuyés directement par les projets de CIDR et Protos donc pas de résultats.27-02-2020: Les résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets. En 2019, le Fonds ANE a atteint 6.228 personnes dont 3.240 femmes.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets. Pour l’année 2020, la cible est de 207.000 personnes dont 107.000 femmes car les principales réalisations doivent être terminées tout comme l'appui direct aux exploitants de la rssource eau (sable, tourisme fluviale, jacinthe, etc.).15-03-2022: Les résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets. En 2020, le Fonds ANE a atteint 97.120 personnes dont 48.560 femmes. De ces personnes, 6.950 ont bénéficié de l'exploitation durable des ressources en eau. Il s'agit des exploitants de sable (CIDR), des bulles d’entreprises et des collecteurs de jacinthe d'eau (Protos) appuyés directement par les projets ainsi que leurs familles. L'écart de cet indicateur est essentiellement dû au démarrage tardif des travaux d'actions pilotes du projet de VNG qui se termineront au premier semestre 2021 et à l’arrêt temporaire des activités de terrain du projet de CIDR pendant les mois d'octobre et de novembre pour privilégier la réalisation des aménagements softs.Les cibles et résultats par année sont estimés sur la base des réalisations des organisations exécutantes mais les résultats définitifs seront renseignés suite à la collecte des données finales des projets. Pour l’année 2021, la cible est de 103.000 personnes dont 53.000 femmes pour la finalisation de l'ensemble des actions pilotes et l'appui aux exploitants (sable, jacinthe, bulles d'entreprises).15-03-2022: Il s’agit en grande majorité des personnes qui ont été impactées directement et indirectement par la mise en œuvre des actions pilotes au niveau collectif (village) et des aménagements softs au niveau individuel (ménage) des différents projets (désencombrement des canaux, reboisement, digues, surcreusements, fascines, etc.). L’écart de cette indicateur s’explique principalement par le fait que les réalisations ont été finalisées pour la plupart en 2021 et non 2020, et ces réalisations ont parfois touchées plus de personnes que prévues comme les actions pilotes de PSL Eau. De même, plus de 72.000 personnes supplémentaires (sans doublons) du projet PSL Eau ont une bonne connaissance et appliquent le SAP Communautaire installé par le projet contre 30.000 ciblés. A noter qu’aucune personne impactée n’est rapportée concernant le SAPC mis en œuvre par le projet GIRE-PSE car les balises ont été installées et les sensibilisations ont été faites lors de la crue de 2021 donc il n’a pas encore servi. De ces 282.350 personnes dont 146.800 femmes, 1.750 ont bénéficié de l'exploitation durable des ressources en eau. Il s'agit des exploitants de sable (CIDR), des bulles d’entreprises et des collecteurs de jacinthe d'eau (Protos) appuyés directement par les projets ainsi que leurs familles. Ils sont un peu moins nombreux que prévus notamment car le projet NVW a appuyé beaucoup d’entrepreneurs mais pas uniquement pour des activités strictement GIRE. Par ailleurs, ils ont préféré renforcer les groupements de collecte de JE existants plutôt que d’en appuyer des nouveaux. Le résultat de cet indicateur sera confirmé ou infirmé dans le rapport de l’étude finale.Cet indicateur correspond exactement au libellé anglais de DGIS / EKN "Number of countries supported on water management". Pour OmiDelta il n'y en a qu'un (1) et ce sera chaque année le même : le Bénin. Il faut noter que ce résultat est le même pour l’Assistance Technique et pour le Fonds Acteurs Etatiques.Il s'agit du Bénin.28-02-2022: Il s'agit du Bénin.Cet indicateur correspond exactement au libellé anglais de DGIS / EKN "Number of people supported in projects for improved irrigation and drainage" ; et au niveau du Fonds ANE il correspond à l'indicateur "1.2a. Nombre de personnes (f/h) appuyées par des projets de prévention contre l’érosion". Afin d'éviter une double agrégation des résultats, cet indicateur de EKN est renseigné directement sur les pages des projets qui y contribuent, à savoir : CIDR. Toutefois, les cibles et résultats agrégés peuvent être trouvés dans les rapports annuels et final.Se référer à la page IATI de CIDR.Se référer à la page IATI de CIDR.15-03-2022: Afin d'éviter un double rapportage, il s'agit de se référer à la page IATI du projet de CIDR qui y contribue. Toutefois, on peut indiquer que sur 170.000 personnes prévus dont 88.000 femmes, le résultat final est 394.500 dont 205.000 femmes. Cette augmentation de personnes touchées est due à l’engouement autour des émissions radios. Les personnes de cet indicateur sont appuyées / touchées sur l’inondation et l’érosion par des communications à la radio ou par des sensibilisations directes. Ces personnes ne se cumulent pas avec celles de l’indicateur (c.) ni par année.Cet indicateur correspond exactement au libellé anglais de DGIS / EKN "Number of people supported in projects for protection against floods" ; et au niveau du Fonds ANE il correspond à l'indicateur "1.1b. Nombre de personnes (f/h) appuyées par des projets de résilience aux inondations / sécheresses". Afin d'éviter une double agrégation des résultats, cet indicateur de EKN est renseigné directement sur les pages des projets qui y contribuent, à savoir : CIDR et VNG. Toutefois, les cibles et résultats agrégés peuvent être trouvés dans les rapports annuels et final.Se référer aux pages IATI des projets qui y contribuent.Se référer aux pages IATI des projets qui y contribuent.15-03-2022: Afin d'éviter un double rapportage, il s'agit de se référer à les pages IATI des projets de CIDR et VNG qui y contribuent. Toutefois, on peut indiquer que sur 240.000 personnes prévus dont 124.000 femmes, le résultat final est 536.000 dont 279.000 femmes. Pour le projet GIRE-PSE de CIDR, l’augmentation de leurs résultats est due aux émissions radios animées par des relais communautaires qui sensibilisent largement leur entourage sur leur passage à la radio. Pour le PSL Eau de VNG, c’est l’engouement autour SAPC qui a permis de dépasser la cible prévue. De ces 129.000 personnes, plus de 92.000 ont une bonne connaissance et appliquent le SAPC inondation. Concernant le SAPC mis en œuvre par PSE-GIRE, les 6 balises ont été installées et les sensibilisations ont été effectuées en novembre 2021 dans 6 villages. Les personnes de cet indicateur sont appuyées / touchées sur l’inondation et l’érosion par des communications à la radio ou par des sensibilisations directes. Ces personnes ne se cumulent pas avec celles de l’indicateur (e.) ni par année.Cet indicateur permet de mesurer les capacités de résilience et d'adaptation des populations aux changements climatiques améliorées dans le delta de l'Ouémé en particulier le delta côtier. Sur la période du projet, le taux de réduction doit être de 25% par rapport à la situation de référence, établie en 2019 mais dont les chiffres seront ajustés en 2020 avec l'intégration du dernier lot de village touché par le projet de Protos.A l’étape de l’étude de référence effectuée en août 2019, et qui sera complété en 2020, le taux de préjudices liés aux phénomènes de changements climatiques n'a pas diminué. Toutefois, l’état de la situation actuelle est renseigné dans le Rapport de l'étude de référence qui peut être téléchargé sur cette page IATI.Les activités opérationnelles des projets GIRE sont prévues pour 2019. Aucun projet GIRE ne contribuant à cet indicateur par année, le résultat sera renseigné suite à la réalisation de l'étude finale du projet par la SNV en 2021.27-02-2022: Le résultat devait être renseigné par suite de la réalisation de l'étude finale du projet par SNV en 2021. Toutefois, cette étude est arrivée tout juste à la fin des projets GIRE ce qui était trop tôt pour espérer calculer véritablement l’impact.Cet indicateur correspond exactement au libellé anglais de DGIS / EKN "Number of people benefitting from operational plans for integrated water resources management of basin". Au niveau du Fonds ANE il correspond littéralement à l'indicateur "2.1a. Nombre d'usagers respectant le plan de distribution de l'eau" mais qui n’est pas renseigné car aucun projet GIRE mis en œuvre n’a finalement pris ces mesures. Pour autant, si on considère cet indicateur de EKN au sens large, il peut être renseigné par rapport aux données des projets de Protos, CIDR et VNG concernant le nombre de personnes bénéficiant de l'opérationnalisation des plans d'actions communautaires élaborés par ces 3 projets. C’est ce qui sera rapporté ici. Afin d'éviter une double agrégation des résultats, les résultats relatifs à cet indicateur de EKN sont renseignés directement sur les pages des projets qui y contribuent, à savoir : CIDR, VNG et Protos. Toutefois, les cibles et résultats agrégés de l'indicateur "a. (plan)" peuvent être trouvés dans les rapports annuels.Afin d'éviter une double agrégation des résultats, les résultats relatifs à cet indicateur de EKN sont renseignés directement sur les pages des projets qui y contribuent, à savoir : CIDR, VNG et Protos. On peut toutefois indiquer que la cible finale est 200.000 personnes dont 104.000 femmes.15-03-2022: Afin d'éviter un double rapportage, il s'agit de se référer aux pages IATI des projet de Protos, VNG et CIDR qui y contribuent. Toutefois, on peut indiquer que sur 200.000 personnes prévus dont 104.000 femmes, le résultat final est 400.000 dont 208.000 femmes. La communication digitale, la radio, les médias et les approches par les facilitateurs d'opération ont favorisé l'atteinte d'une cible plus large ont permis de créer de l'engouement au-delà des attentes prévues. Toutefois, le dépassement de la cible s’explique surtout par le fait que le projet GIRE-PSE de CIDR a finalement mis en place 18 CCE couvrant l’ensemble de sa zone d’intervention (170.000 personnes) et chacun a élaboré un plan GIRE (non prévu initialement) et certaines actions ont déjà pu être mises en œuvre. Certaines de ces personnes ne se cumulent pas avec celles des indicateurs (e.) et (c.) ni par année. Toutes ces personnes contribuent également à l’indicateur 1a. de SNV et A. de l’APB et sont donc aussi rapportées à ce niveau.Cet outcome a été formulé afin de renseigner le résultat de EKN " Results area 1: General Priorities". Les priorités générales correspondent à 4 thèmes transversaux capitaux de la stratégie néerlandaise de coopération au développement : - Inclusion (genre, sociale, économique, etc.) - Adaptation et résilience au changement climatique - Impact à long terme et durable (durabilité systémique) - Écosystèmes, biodiversité et impact environnemental Pour rapporter sur ces priorités générales, il s’agit d’évaluer pour chaque thème s’il est suffisamment intégré et exécuté dans toutes les phases du programme (échelle de 1 à 5 : 1 étant complètement absent et 5 étant complètement intégré et exécuté dans toutes les phases du programme). Les phases qui seront évaluées par la SNV seront - Démarrage (y inclus « analysis, plan ») - Mise en œuvre - Suivi et évaluation (monitoring, évaluation) - Clôture (y inclus « learning »)Cet indicateur permet de renseigner la priorité "Inclusiveness (gender, social, economic, etc.) de EKN sur une échelle de 1 à 5.Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Pour les différents projets, l’inclusion sociale est intégrée aux approches de mise en œuvre à toutes les étapes. Recueil des opinions des différentes catégories sociales et leurs prises en compte dans les décisions à travers des focus group, la présence des représentants des femmes, jeunes et autres catégories défavorisées au sein des comités des décideurs mis en place, etc.Nous espérons que les communautés désormais bien accompagnées prendront systématiquement en compte ces aspects au quotidien.24-02-2021: Pour les différents projets, l’inclusion sociale est intégrée aux approches de mise en œuvre à toutes les étapes. Recueil des opinions des différentes catégories sociales et leurs prises en compte dans les décisions à travers des focus group, la présence des représentants des femmes, jeunes et autres catégories défavorisées au sein des comités des décideurs mis en place, etc. Les projets GIRE/Gouvernance étant clôturés en 2020, la cible de 5 (score maximal sur l'échelle des progrès) pourrait être atteinte l'année prochaine.27-02-2022: Pour les différents projets, l’inclusion sociale est intégrée aux approches de mise en œuvre à toutes les étapes. Recueil des opinions des différentes catégories sociales et leurs prises en compte dans les décisions à travers des focus group, la présence des représentants des femmes, jeunes et autres catégories défavorisées au sein des comités des décideurs mis en place, etc. Toutefois, le leadership féminin n’est pas assez fort au niveau de toutes les communautés accompagnées.Cet indicateur permet de renseigner la priorité "Climate adaptation and resilience" de EKN sur une échelle de 1 à 5.Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Les projets adressent les problématiques d’érosion et d’inondation ou de sécheresse qui sont aspects des phénomènes de changement climatique à travers le renforcement des capacités des populations et la mise en place des infrastructures pour l’amélioration de la résilience au changement climatique.A partir de 2020, les infrastructures mises en place montreront leur efficacité. Tous les dispositifs seront fonctionnels.24-02-2021: Les projets adressent les problématiques d’érosion et d’inondation ou de sécheresse qui sont aspects des phénomènes de changements climatiques à travers le renforcement des capacités des populations et la mise en place des infrastructures pour l’amélioration de la résilience aux changements climatiques. La réalisation des infrastructures a connu du retard. Cet indicateur n’a donc pas évolué cette année. En 2021, quand tous les dispositifs seront fonctionnels, il sera évalué. Par conséquent, la cible globale de 5 pourrait être atteinte l'année prochaine.28-02-2022: Les infrastructures prévues pour l’amélioration de la résilience aux changements climatiques et les différents renforcements de capacités ont été réalisés. Ces mesures ont permis de réduire les effets négatifs des inondations (perte en vies humaines, destruction des récoltes et des habitats, entrave aux activités commerciales et autres).Cet indicateur permet de renseigner la priorité "Durable, long term impact (systemic sustainability)"** **de EKN sur une échelle de 1 à 5.Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: En 2019, les mesures à mettre en place pour assurer la durabilité ont été identifiées ; certaines ont été pratiquées et des améliorations sont encore possibles. Notamment, les mesures assurant la disponibilité financière (cotisation, ristourne sur les revenues, etc.) afin de disposer des ressources financières pour l’entretien des infrastructures; les aspects techniques basés sur les initiatives locales, et la prise en compte des recommandations des études d’impact environnemental et social et les actions de conservation de l’environnement.2020 connaîtra l’achèvement de la mise œuvre des mesures de durabilité tant sur le plan Financier, Institutionnel, Technique et Social. L’évaluation des dites mesures permettra de se fixer sur les valeurs atteintes.24-02-2021: Tout comme en 2019, les mesures à mettre en place pour assurer la durabilité ont été identifiées et certaines ont été pratiquées comme par exemple, les mesures assurant la disponibilité financière (cotisation, ristourne sur les revenues, etc.) afin de disposer des ressources financières pour l’entretien des infrastructures ; les aspects techniques basés sur les initiatives locales ; la prise en compte des recommandations des études d’impact environnemental et social ; et les actions de conservation de l’environnement. Des améliorations sont encore possibles. Par conséquent, la cible globale (et score maximal sur l'échelle des progrès) de 5 pourrait être atteinte l'année prochaine.28-02-2022: Les bases pour assurer une durabilité systémique sont posées. Toutefois, l’accompagnement des communautés après la réalisation des infrastructures a été très court, vue le temps mis pour effectuer les réalisations. De plus, la mise en œuvre des dispositions dépend fortement de la volonté et du dynamisme des communautés dont personne ne peut présager.Cet indicateur permet de renseigner la priorité "Ecosystems, biodiversity and environmental impact"** **de EKN sur une échelle de 1 à 5.Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.27-02-2020: Au nombre des objectifs des projets GIRE, nous pouvons noter la conservation et la protection des écosystèmes ainsi que la valorisation des écosystèmes pour l’adaptation aux changements climatiques. Les activités sont orientées dans ce sens.La plupart des activités prévues dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre des projets GIRE seront en train d’être achevées ; et les résultats seront tangibles. Les services écosystémiques seront appréciés.24-02-2021: Au nombre des objectifs des projets GIRE, nous pouvons noter la conservation et la protection des écosystèmes ainsi que la valorisation des écosystèmes pour l’adaptation aux changements climatiques. Ainsi, les activités sont orientées dans ce sens. Pour 2020, la plupart des activités prévues dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre des projets GIRE sont en cours. Par conséquent, c'est l'année prochaine que les résultats tangibles et les services écosystémiques pourront être encore mieux appréciés.27-02-2022: Au nombre des objectifs des projets GIRE, nous pouvons noter la conservation, la protection et la valorisation des écosystèmes pour l’adaptation aux changements climatiques. Les activités sont orientées dans ce sens (reboisements, protections des berges, etc.). A la fin des projets, nous assistons à une régénérescence des services écosystémiques dont le maintien dépend aussi des communautés elles-mêmes.Cet outcome a été formulé afin de renseigner le résultat de EKN « Results area 4: Enabling environment ». Pour renseigner les résultats qui contribuent à un environnement favorable amélioré, EKN a formulé 10 thèmes « topics » clés non exhaustif : - Renforcement des capacités (organisations ou individus) - Plaidoyer / lobbying auprès des gouvernements - Conseils politiques - Finance - Éducation / connaissances / recherche - Entrepreneuriat - Inclusion sociale - Durabilité - Climat et environnement - Innovation et technologie Pour chacun des thèmes applicables, une évaluation qualitative des progrès est formulée et un nombre peut être ajouté au sein du narratif qualitatif pour l’appuyer et l’illustrer.Cet indicateur permet de renseigner le thème « Capacity development (organizations or individuals)** **» de EKN.Cet indicateur n'était pas encore prévu par DGIS et donc EKN en 2018 et ce n'était que la phase de démarrage des projets.C'est un indicateur qualitatif.

Les localités d’intervention des 3 projets ont été évaluées : chacune dispose d’un plan communautaire GIRE qui a été approuvé par les autorités compétentes et dont la mise en œuvre s’est poursuivie en 2021.NL-KVK-41152786-PRM00004634-KenyaSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationFrom Aid-to-TradeThe project is a continuation of the current KMDP-I. KMDP-I made significant strides in addressing relevant and important issues in the Kenya dairy sector, such as the skills gap, feed and fodder supply, milk quality, value chain inclusiveness and entrepreneurship . KMDP-I uses a business or market-led approach, thereby seeking for strong collaboration between the Dutch and the Kenyan dairy sector. It showed that the Kenyan dairy industry needs to further innovate and adopt and adapt international best practice, in order to enhance competitiveness and to enter into a sustainable growth path. The Dutch dairy sector has valuable knowledge and technology solutions to offer, provided these are adapted to local needs and affordable. KMDP-II seeks a deepening of KMDP-I, using the same principles but with a more deliberate strategy and design to facilitate transitioning from aid to trade relations. The project is designed along two interrelated and mutually reinforcing pillars. Pillar-I is more dairy or market development related, with a focus on intensifying and upscaling the most relevant interven-tions under KMDP-I (i.e. practical skills training infrastructure, fodder supply, milk quality and inclusive dairy value chains). Thereby deepening involvement and engagement of Dutch experts and input and service providers. Pillar-II will focus on business brokering and trade promotion related interventions, in close collaboration with the Netherlands Business Hub and Dutch organisations/agencies that represent the dairy sector in the Netherlands. Through these two pillars, KMDP-II will invest in enhancing professionalism and competitiveness of the Kenyan dairy sector and in doing so, the market for Dutch technology and expertise, whilst at the same time it will invest in the capacity of the Dutch private sector and knowledge providers to be inclusive and relevant for the Kenyan market. The project goal is: “To contribute to an improved business and investment climate of the Kenyan dairy sector”. The project will promote and facilitate the transitioning from aid-to-trade relations in the dairy sector, as a strategy for increased sector competitiveness, growth and food security. The objectives and related outcomes of KMDP-II will be: 1. To improve the availability of affordable & good quality practical training, extension and farm advisory services for farmers and other value chain actors. 2. To improve the availability of affordable and good quality fodder to farmers. 3. To improve the availability of incentives and mechanisms along the value chain that enable the supply of quality milk (food safety). 4. To improve linkages in the dairy value chain to stimulate chain integration and inclusiveness. 5. To improve the linkages of dairy value chain actors with international companies and institutes, as a stimulus for innovation and competitiveness in the sector. Objectives 1-4 are grouped under Pillar-I of the project. The activities under these objectives or out-comes are more related to dairy development. Collaboration with Kenyan stakeholders under these outcomes offers a platform or entry point for piloting innovative market-based solutions with the engagement of Dutch dairy sector stakeholders. Objective or outcome 5 is more concerned with mainstream trade promotion, international exposure and exchange, and facilitation of B2B linkages. This will take place in close collaboration with the Netherlands Business Hub in Nairobi. Pillar-I activities of KMDP-II will focus on dairy value chain operators in Nakuru, Eldoret and Meru milksheds. The target group consists of clients and beneficiaries. Lessons learned will be shared at sector level, as will be the case with evidence-based policy influencing, for which relevant agencies are based at the national and county levels. • Clients are the actors in the dairy value chain that the project will work with directly. These include dairy lead/demo farms, dairy cooperatives and processors, input suppliers and service providers, dairy sector associations, and policy and regulatory bodies. • The beneficiaries are dairy farmers and their households, farm workers, employees of dairy coope-ratives, processors, input suppliers and service providers, and consumers. In the inception phase, a firm selection will be made of clients under outcomes 1-4 and interventions will be designed in more detail. For this proposal –and subject to adjustments - the following clients and client groups have been identified in the three geographical areas: • Processor-led approach: in Meru milkshed with Meru Central Dairy Farmers Cooperative Union, affiliated dairy societies and farmer groups, in the Nakuru milkshed with Happy Cow, dairy societies and farmer groups. Meru Union has 26 affiliated primary cooperative societies with a total membership of 40,000 farmers (households). Happy Cow receives milk from two dairy societies with a combined membership of 4,850. • Possible selection of a third processor with an inclusive business model in Eldoret or elsewhere in the country, based on demand and opportunities for strengthening the other outcomes under Pillars-I and II. Other possible clients are local and international input suppliers and service providers. • Selection of commercial fodder producers, agricultural contractors, seed suppliers, and farm mechanisation firms (examples: Gogar Farm, Gitau, Morendat, Dejirine, Nundoroto, SPEN, Leldet and Kenya Seeds, international firms). • Selection of medium and large scale dairy farmers (MSLFs) willing to take part in pilots and demos, eager to innovate, invest and open-up their farms for learning and sharing by smallholders and peer MLSFs. Preferably as testing grounds for pilots, as training farms and organized in study groups and investors’ forums for knowledge sharing, collaboration and lobbying. • Selection of Technical Training Institutes (TTIs), Practical Dairy Training Centres (PDTCs) and Dairy Advisory Services (DAS). Examples: TTIs: Baraton University, Egerton University, Laikipia University, Bukura Agricultural College, DTI; PDTCs: Lewa/Mawingu/Willens PDTCs; DAS: SNV Local Capacity Builders, Fieten Ltd; international firms. Pillar-II will have a stakeholder and sector focus, rather than a client or geographic focus. Kenyan stakeholders (i.e. farmers, dairy societies, processors, input suppliers and service providers, training institutes, etc.) willing to invest and interested in (exploring) products and services offered by the Dutch dairy sector, will be linked to Dutch companies/parties for trade and partnerships (including joint ventures, dealerships, franchises). Besides, Pillar-II will also give support to the Dutch private sector and knowledge institutes in exploring market opportunities and developing market share. This will be done in partnership with the Netherlands Business Hub in Kenya, NABC and/or Dairy Campus/ Dairy Development Centre. A number of medium-scale farms (incl. training farms) with good dairy farming practices and business acumen will be selected, to develop into model farms for showcasing of Dutch technology and practices.

Access to quality fodder remains a challenge for dairy farmers, both with respect to on-farm fodder production and preservation, and commercial fodders sold in the market. The latter is predominantly a hay market which supplies low quality fodder at exorbitant prices. This negatively affects the cost price of milk and causes seasonality in milk supply. The project will scale up technical assistance, business development and piloting new technologies aimed at supply of high quality fodders, with commercial fodder producers, the Service Provider Enterprise Network (SPEN), agricultural contractors and (other) input and service providers (seed, equipment and maintenance services).

This outcome is concerned with promoting B2B linkages and trade between the Netherlands and Kenya, through a number of activities that are promotional and facilitative. The proposed activities (i.e. business brokering, study tours, trade fairs, demos, pilots, feasibility studies, etc.) are important to support the Dutch private sector to understand the market size, needs and trends, to develop local networks and market share, to showcase Dutch knowledge and technology, and to help forge B2B and other partnerships. On the skill and knowledge front the programme will facilitate internships & training programs in both Kenya and the Netherlands.

We work together with IFPRI and over 50 CSOs to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and influence decision-makers with solid and contextualized evidence to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices. For this specific project in Kenya, our advocacy activities focus on Food & Nutrition Security (FNS), in particular dairy. We aim to enhance consumer welfare in the dairy sector and to improve safety and reduction in milk losses. This will be achieved through evidence-based advocacy, capacity building and lobbying for policy and practice change in the dairy sector to spur action for the adoption of inclusive policies, regulations and programmes for milk safety and loss; and improvement in the coordination and implementation of milk safety and loss policies by government for increased market access and investments within the dairy industry in Kenya.SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationNetherlands Development OrganisationNetherlands Development OrganisationThe International Food Policy Research InstituteAkvo Foundationkenya@snv.orgNgong Lane, off Ngong RoadP.O.

CSOs hoped to actively engage and inform the process using evidence from the Vietnam case study. However, on 2nd May 2019, CSOs learned that the KFDA bill had undergone its first reading at the floor of the Parliamentary Assembly after its introduction by a private member. The process leading to submission of the bill was closed and restricted stakeholder participation. The bill has faced opposition from the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya and together with KenyaPrivate Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and civil society organisations, are lobbying that the bill is subjected to critical review and brought back to the public for comprehensive review considering the model's failures in countries such USA and Tanzania.

There has also been improved communication and transparency from government e.g. the call from county livestock production division to stakeholders in the WhatsApp dairy platform to submit recommendations for the 2020/21 budget proposal. CUTS has over 2020 enhanced the role and position of dairy platforms (in Laikipia, Nyandarua and Nakuru) in policy making by strategically supporting them and the county government to develop sector newsletters detailing both their activities and intended plans especially on policy and key issues like food safety in order to promote mutual accountability http://www.safefoodkenya.com/articlesconfidentialconfidential20-06-2018: Following the elections, some of the policymakers changed thus affecting the tracking of support since office holders are now different from those previously assessed.

We work together with IFPRI and over 50 CSOs to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and influence decision-makers with solid and contextualized evidence to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices. For this specific project in Ghana, our advocacy activities focus on Renewable Energy (RE), in particular clean cooking. We aim to increase access to affordable, efficient and sustainable energy solutions. This will be achieved through creating an enabling environment for inclusive business and increased investment by financial institutions and manufactures of ICS/LPG, thereby increasing the reliability and supply. CSOs and ICS/LPG value chain actors such as women and youth groups, retailers, distributors and manufacturers will work together to lobby with local governments to formulate and implement inclusive policies on sustainable cooking. The value chain actors will also lobby with financial institutions to create financial products to support sustainable cooking.SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Netherlands Development Organisation, GhanaSNV Netherlands Development Organisation, GhanaAkvo Foundationghana@snv.orgNo. 10 Maseru Street, East Legon Residential AreaP.O.

The other 2 are thematic workshops held in Tamale and Kumasi. The Kumasi event dealt with OH and M & E capacity stregtheing while Tamale workshops reviewed, revised and finalised 2018 work plans in addition to strengthening CSO skills on media engagement and policy briefs. The CSOs expressed satisfaction over the contribution of these workshops to the developnent of their capacity in terms of orgnaisational sustainability, operations and leadership.In 2019, it is expected that another capacity building workshop and learning event will be organised for all CSOs. In addiotion, thematics workshops will be held; 1 by way of mid-year review and lessons learnt and the other on specific advocacy subjects of interest to be identified.24-04-2020: In total, 5 capacity development workshops were held in 2019. At the generic project level, 2 capacity development workshops were held in March and August in Accra and Sogakope respectively. Both events addressed a number of issues around organizational development (OD) and organizational sustainability. The discussions mostly focused on proposal writing, journaling or reporting to meet the expectation of donors, OD values and principles, etc. CSOs who were noted to be doing well in business development, like ORGIIS and GRAMEEN, etc, were selected to present their experiences of organizational sustainability for the learning of the other CSOs. At these workshops also, thematic group reflection sessions were held with CSOs on outcomes harvested, M&E reporting, private sector engagement, mainstreaming of GESI, advocacy plans & strategies, etc. At the thematic level, 2 capacity development events were held between the Advisor and the CSO in May and November, both in Tamale. There was also an international capacity development event held in Kenya involving the CSOs, the Advisior and our Head Office colleagues, also in November. The May event between the CSOs and the Advisor focused on strengtheing networking and presentation skills as these were identified to be necessary skills set for advocacy success. Two Youtube videos covering both topics were used to facilitate the discussions. The event was also used to review CSOs work plans implementation which led to the development of accelerated plans for July –December, 2019. The second workshop, the November workshop, however focused on developing CSOs work plans for 2020 and strengthening CSOs capacity on the service delivery indicator, so as to enable them measure it effectively for end year reporting. Finally, the RE CSOs in November (a representative each from GHACOO, ORGIIS and CEESD) also particpated in an exchange learning event in Kenya.

Factors that contributed to the improvements are the training sessions on evidence generation and use, Use of the Medias, Video documentaries, and improved lobbying strategies. GHACCO on the other hand also consistently continued to improve on its advocacy capacity. The advocacy capacity of GHACCO increased from 3.7 in 2019 to 3.8 in 2020. GHACCO has received new evidence materials from the Cost-Benefit analysis and the Trade-Offs between local and import Cookstoves deployment studies which strengthened our knowledge and perspectives for policy advocacy. GHACCO has used the findings and recommendations of these studies to broaden our perspectives in our engagements. This improvement is attributed to the fact that GHACCO over the period received published research material on the Energy Safety Nets in Ghana, from the Institute for Statistical Social and Economic Research of the University of Ghana. GHACCO conducted assessment of GESI and Covid-19 Impacts on SMEs in the Clean Cooking Sector which increased our advocacy capacity.

The objective has been to establish that ICS can help create employment and grow the local economy beyond the enevironmental and health impacts. But that businesses will require a supportive environment to evolve. Also, the summarised results of a study assessing the impact of institutional cookstoves in Uganda was shared with the school feeding desk officers of the Assemblies to enable them appreciate the significance of such programmes. Communication messages developed from 2017 were revised and used for advocacy in 2018 targetting various outfits including the Assemblies, youth and women groups, private sector, etc. Also in 2018, a policy brief on clean cooking was issued jontly between GHACCO and SNV to the Ministry of Planning which culminated in the holding of first ever clean policy dialogue by the Ministry. In attendance at the event was the Second Lady of Ghana as Guest of Honour. Additionally, 2 press releases, one providing options to ensure a more impactful rollout of the 500,000 ICS programme by givernmmet in 2019 while curtaiilig its market distortion tendencies. The other sought to prevail on government so us to engage LPG dealers association in respect of the Cylinder recirculation model follwoing persistent imppasse between dealers and the National Petroleum Authority. Several media reports were also published by both CSOs.Four baseline reports related to the clean cooking strategic plans will be produced by 4 Assemblies to guide the plans formulations. Also, a policy brief will be produced from the completed ICS viability study.

These reports provided snapshots of clean coking adoption and challenges in the districts which then informed on what strategies to put in place in the plans. These initial repprts were validated by stakeholders of the Assemblies involved. 8 reports were therefore produced by ORGIIS by GHACCO in line with CC plans. Discussions on the proper dissemination of these reports among stakeholder are currently being held with the assemblies. These will include printing copies (full and abriged) as well as developing infographics from their contents which will be used for advocacy engagements. Leaflets on these CC plans as well as cost benefits of Clean cooking, the CC tradeoffs (between local and imported clean coking technologies) and the CC difussion through socila networks studies will be developed in 2020 when the studies are completed.

Theme: Sharing Civil Society Experiences in Adapting Evidence-based Advocacy."New research to be conducted and shared among CSOsOne comprehensive business proposition to be developed within the halfyear10-01-2018: ToR for this work (Business case analysis of improved cookstoves manufacturers in Ghana) has been developed and stakeholder opinion is being sought. Delays due to stakeholder input. It is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017One comprehensive business proposition to be developed within the second halfyear20-04-2018: ToR has been developed for this study to be conducted and the contracting process has started. This study which was expected to be produced last year had to be delyed because we realised that contract could only have completed from Mid-November which time till Mid-January would not be a very convinient period for any consultant to rigrously execute the assignment because of the festivities.Only the current report is expected on this subject which explains the target of one. Related external knowledge products may howevr be singled out and captured where appropriate.06-05-2019: As indicated in B2 above, the business case or viability of six improved cookstoves producer companies in Ghana was analysed in 2018. The results show that the companies have a return on investment ranging from 6% to 30% (average 17%) at their current levels of production which were found to be sub-optimal. While the avarage rate of 17% will be unable to support or attract commercial investment, further analysis show that at optimum capacity, these firms can increase their returns to between 9-59% with an average of 34% at which point their viability/sustainability is gretaly enhanced. An avarage IRR of 34% is obviously higher than the currrent cost of capital in the market which is around 28% and therefore could incentivise investment into the sector. Thus, while the busniess case for these companies has been clearly established, it observed that some level of catalytic/blended finance will be required. The six companies are found to have a current production capcity of 366,000 units per annum but are able to ramp up to about 1.25 million with the right kind of support. In terms of employement, they are found to be able to generate about 1500 jobs in the next 3 years, which is an avaearge of 500 jobs a year.We will continue to disseminate the results established here among targetted groups. No further busnsiess cases are expected except where we come across similar products from other contexts in secondary evidence.24-04-2020: In view of our (ORGIIS) direct involvement with the cookstove business this year, under our social enterprise, the business case we tried out was a consumer finance scheme whcih relied on the security of VSLA savings. What we did was allow members of the VSLA groups to purchase household ICS at flexible terms. Interested members were only required to deposit 25% of the price of the ICS and pay the balance in 2-3 monthly installments. At the moment the default rate has been 0%. While we only just started this in 2019 we are hopeful that it could be an interested model. The challenge however is how to raise inventory capital to purchase from manufacturers. Questiosn is if more peolpe become interested will manufacturers feel secured enough to give off stoves on short term credit basis? Can the security of the VSLAs apply to them as well? These are qustions we have no answers to. In our experience so far, stove retail profit margins do not look that interesting to warrant accessing commercial loans to enable cash purchases from manufacturers.05-11-2020: "ORGIIS over the period engaged with Naara Bank, Assemblies of God credit union and Navrongo Teachers credit union. The discussions with these institutions points to some level of scepticism as they see the sector to be new and perhaps high risk. Nevertheless, all these institutions were happy with the idea of working with VSLAs, since in their view they could enhance savings mobilization and uptake of their other products. The results of these initial discussions (Currently on-going) therefore did not conclusively foster the development of a proven business case maily because of the disruption in the ICS supply because of covid-19. Meanwhile, discussions with the VSLAs, resulted in the formation of a credit union supported by ORGIIS which will support testing the business model while providing access to finance to the VSLAs for RE(ICS) and other products/services generally. GHACCO on the other hand drafted a social enterprise model to accelerate deployment of ICS of its member companies on Ghanaian market, which has been approved by the GHACCO board. However, raising the needed financing to pilot the model has been a challenge. This is because the discussions with China-Europe International Business School in Ghana regarding the project which was expected to be financed under the Fuel Freedom Chair for Energy and Social Development got stalled with the outbreak of Covid-19."In four (4) communities sensitization has already been done by the CSOs in the selected districts. The CSOs have undertaken community cookstoves engagement forum at Sapieman and Kuntuse in Ga West Municipal Assembly, with cookstoves artisans at Timber Market, Kokompe(Accra Metropolitan Assembly), and Yeyili Enterprise at Ashaiman Municipal Assembly. in 6 new communities sensitization will be done, leading to a total of 10 communities being sensitized 10-01-2018: The CSOs have undertaken community cookstoves engagement forums in 55 communities in 5 districts. Perculiar interest from district officials has contributed to phenomenal community outreach in the 5 districts. 10 new communities sensitization will be done in the second half of the year20-04-2018: GHACCO and ORGIIS together did sensitisation among 58 community groups/villages with GHACCO doing 9 for the reporting period. The rest were carried out by ORGIIS in its two districts. The sensitisation were in the nature of community level forums/focus group discussions with youth and women groups on the health and environmental benefits of ICS relative to traditional stoves. Youth and women groups are also educated on the possibilities of demanding inclusion of ICS in the planning processes of Assemblies. At these forums, Youth and Women groups are also well sensitized on the health impacts of indoor air pollution, available ICS of technologies and duty bearer’s responsibilities. ORGIIS uses this forums also to disseminate subsidised ICS (600 pieces disseminated in total) and LPG (300 pieces disseminated in total) stoves it secured in parnerhip with the Colorado university and the Navrongo Health Training Centre.The 2018 workplans of the clean cooking CSOs indicate 9 new community sensitisations for GHACCO and 24 new for ORGIIS. The Community groups (particularly thier leads) are expected to take on the advocacy role upon these sensitisations, but this will be preceded by joint meetings/engagements between advocates and CSOs on one hand and stakeholders on the other in activities covered in D & F.06-05-2019: GHACCO and ORGIIS did sensitisations in 39 community groups/villages. 9 were carried out by GHACCO and 30 by ORGIIS. As usual these awareness raising excercises targetted youth and women groups, opinion leaders and Assembly members. In most cases they were jointly conducted between the Assemblies and the CSOs with community advcates leading the process. Messages focused on the health and environmental benefits of adopting improved cooking technologies. Additionally, youth and women groups were educated on the commitements made by the Assemblies in integrating ICS into their MTDPs to enable them hold them accountable to such. The forums were also used to demonstrate how to reduce houlsehold air pollution by using dry as oppose to wet wood and charcoal for cooking. Women and children especially also received lessons on how to avoid the inhilation of smoke. ie by wearing masks or cooking in ventilated environments, while they wait to acquire improved systems. Marketing related acativities were also on conducted on these trips which saw stoves being sold in the field as recorded in I1.For ORGIIS, 15 new community sensitations are targeted for the year 2019 with a focus on youth and women groups that have roots in Village Savings and Loans Associations. The reason is to explore how they can leverage their collective security to acquire ICS. Similarly, GHACCO targets 27 new community groups. These will be 9 community groups per District, for the 3 District. This is intended to leverage existing community group to create clean cooking advocacy networks in each District.02-10-2019: As part of our community advocacy/awareness creation campaigns aimed at youth and women groups, opinion leaders and Assembly members, 27 groups have been sensitized from 14 communities by ORGIIS. These communities include; Nabio, Batiu, Paga, Pindaa, Katiu, Kayoro, Vunania, Chania, Kayilo, Navio, Kajelo Abolo, Gia and Biu cutting across the two districts. The education/issues included creating awareness about the negative health implications associated with the traditional stoves mainly by indoor air pollution which can even affect the fetus of an expectant mothers, ocassion anaemia, contribute to cancers, etc. Communities were also sensitized to demand or hold their Assemblies through elected Assembly members to the commitments made in the area of CC as mainstream in the MTDPs and annual plans. The sensitization meetings were also used as avenues to exhibit selected ICS and demonstrate how convenient it is to use them while emphasizing on the economic, health and environmental benefits of adopting ICS. For GHACCO, community sensitization was conducted for 24 community- groups across 9 communities; three each from Ejisu, Ga West and South Tongu Districts. The communities includes Sokpe, Sogakope, Asotwe, Ejisu, Samsam and odumase, in the South Tongu, Ejisu and Ga West Municipalities. At the sensitization events, community members recounted their experiences of especially eye-infections resulting from the smoke from the use of wood fuels during cooking. In all nine communities, the women especially welcomed the improved cookstove brands that were introduced to them during the sensitization session and expressed their willingness to acquire and use the new ICS. They also asked about the prices of the various ICS brands and requested to be linked up with the producers to be able to acquire the stoves. They further requested GHACCO to negotiate on their behalf to ensure that the prices would be affordable and payment arrangments be flexible for hous ...For ORGIIS, 7 new community sensitations are targeted for the remainder of year 2019 with a focus on youth and women groups that have roots in Village Savings and Loans Associations. The reason is to explore how they can leverage their collective security to acquire ICS. ​ In the cassde of GHACCO, 18 more community groups are targeted to be sensitized on the health impacts of in-door air pollution in the 3 MMDAs.24-04-2020: "Between July and December 2019, Two Community advocates in the persons of Hon. Anastacia A. Musah and Hon. Millicen Puruseh were supported to carryout sensitizations in Kandiga (Atosale/Azaasi) and Kayoro respectively. The sensitization was on the negative health implications associated with the traditional stoves mainly from indoor air pollution, which can even affect the fetus of an expectant mother. Additionally, the awareness creation platform was used to sensitize communities to hold their Assemblies accountable through their elected representatives for the commitments made in respect of mainstream issues of Clean Cooking into their annual action plans and budgets especially with the advent of the clean cooking strategis plans. The sensitization meetings were also used as avenues to exhibit selected ICS and to demonstrate how convenient it is to use them while emphasizing on the economic, health and environmental benefits of adopting ICS. Furthermore, following their earlier request in the middle of the year for a radio programme, ORGIIS facilitated a radio discussion on Nabina Community Radio in kasenam and Nankanam languages in August. Additionally and as part of our community awareness creation campaigns aimed at youth and women groups, opinion leaders and Assembly members, 10 groups have been sensitized from 9 communities. These communities include; Abolo, Bawiu, Gua Bugu, Nania,Kuliya, Nyangua, Kazigo, Bugani and Saboro cutting across the two districts. The sensitization centred on the impact and negative health implications associated with the use of traditional stoves mainly by indoor air pollution.

We will have some engagements with stakeholders to validate baseline data, we would participate in quarterly review meetings and 5 different encouters would also be organised with other CSOs eg Tree Aid where we will make interventions in support of our advocacy. 20 verbal encounters have been planned by GHACCO, by way of presentations, penal representation, guest speaking, contributions, remarks, questions and answering and granting interviews at appropriate fora, during the course of the year.24-04-2020: """Between July to December 2019, 15 verbal interventions were made by ORGIIS at the following events: 1. Public hearing programs held by the Assemblies to disseminate baseline reports; Two issues were addressed by these interventions. The need to for the assembly to collaborate with the Business Advisory Services to develop prototype stoves for households and a recommendation to the Assemblies to address complaints received in relation to challenges caterers faced in maintaining institutional stoves. 2. Public hearing on the draft clean cooking strategic plan report among other events related to the cstrategies: the interventions were in respect of emphasising the need to train more artisans for clean cookstove production, push for increased woodlot plantations to support access to wood fuels, need to profile all potential donors that could finance activities in the strategies and lastly, on the need to incoorperate the financial sector into the strategies going forward. 3. The budget hearing meetings of the Kasena Nankana Municipal assemblies: Two (2) verbal interventions were made at the budget hearing meetings. We called on the assembly to consider increasing their budget allocation towards capacity building for artisans and community sensitization so that we can increase adoption. 4. Engagement with the local government stakeholders and the ministry of planning: Our intervention sought clarity on the guidelines on planning to help the local government staff plan appropriately in the medium term development plan to include ICS. We also spoke about the need for the DCEs to support the Staff in the planning. We also recommended the need for clean cooking to form part of the District Development facility and faot assessment of the ministry of local government. 5. Meeting in Tamale with Forest and Farm facility project: The remaining intervention here was on the need to mainstream issues of clean cooking activities into a project being impl ...05-11-2020: "ORGIIS recorded 18 verbal interventions within the period under consideration. Two involved Ghana federation of forest and farm producers (GhaFFaP), Two(2) with the National Board For Small Scale Industries to discuss how they could support the provision of Institutional stoves, 8 encounters with community members to enlighten them on the benfits of clean cooking to increase ICS demand,1 each with Naara Rural Bank, Assemblies of God Credit Union and Navrongo Teachers Credit Union, 2 with the planning officers of the assemblies on the implementation of their action plans and with Envirofit on ICS supply. However, the assemblies are yet to hold any of their review meetings for the 2020 year due to COVID 19 restriction and funding. GHACCO made a total of 44 verbal interventions advocating for sustainable cooking practices and technologies, between January and August 2020. Out the total, 26 major interventions were made by way of key note speeches, opening remarks, presentations and guest speakers of various forums, 9 by way of media engagements and additional 9 by way of community engagements. The verbal interventions made were used to state GHACCO's position on national policy and issues on clean cooking, submit critical research findings and recommendations, observations and lessons from both local and external contexts,mobilize national support for clean cooking campaign in the media and influence behaviour change for the adoption of clean cooking at the community level.

The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests Evidence was gathered from interview of CSOs based on scoring rubric scenario analysis. A major criterium is the # of seminars/meetings organized among CSOs, end-users, FIs, manufacturers, distributers and retailers on sustainable cooking. There have only been occational encountersamong these stakeholders, suggesting very marginal relationship among the actors CSOs expect to achieve a collective average of 2 within the half year 10-01-2018: The CSOs have had series of communication and meetings with manufacturers, distributers and retailers (e.g. Bagas and Joy Family Shop) on sustainable cooking towards a partnership to develop strategies for improving CC options in the districts including the supply of improved cookstoves, LGP equipment and gas for households. At the local authority level, the CSOs have been invited to all review meetings, sector plan meeting and have made inputs into the profile of MDAs. The inputs have not yet been followed on by the districts.CSOs expect to maintain a collective average of 2 within the second half of the year20-04-2018: The CSO have established strong bonds with the Assemblies with ORGIIS contibuting to writing and infusing the clean cooking aspects into the web-profile of the Kasena Nankana West, Both CSOs have also parictipated in performance review, town hall meetings and planning committee meetigs of the Assemblies. Genarally, the CSOs and stakeholder are collaborating in jointly taken action on the common issues of interest in clean cooking. At the national level, this is demonstrated by the CSOs collaborating with the Second Lady and the Minister for Local government on advocacy for ICS with these high government officials and Assemblies relying on the CSOs for policy or stragic options and evidence. Also, the situation where distributors/manufacturer do join CSOs on outreach is an underlying fact of collaboration.This score is expected to remain unchanged for the next half year.08-10-2018: Over the period, January to June 2018, the CSOs reinforced their commitment as credible organizations that continue to attract the attention of stakeholders and influence their actions in favour of clean cooking both at the national and district levels. For instance, SNV (V4CP & RVO), and one of the CSOs collaborated and got the attention of the Ministry of Planning which led to the drafting of a joint CC policy brief relative to what needs to be done within the policy space in Ghana, the content of which has now gotten the Ministry Planning to dedicate the 8th National Policy Dialogue for CC policy issues to be held on 19th September 2018. V4CPs ICS policy paper served as major input to the brief and will continue to shape the discussions into the dialogue. At the district level, one of the CSOs, upon getting the two districts of Kasena-Nankana Municipal and Kasena Nankana West to agree to mainstreaming CC into their medium term development plans (MTDP) was requested by these two districts to draft the sections dedicated for CC issues in the plans. This resulted in whole sections now dedicated to CC issues in the final draft MTDP of the districts. In those sections on clean cooking, joint actions (CSO and District Assembly (DA)) for increasing community education on the benefits of ICS on health, the environment, fuel saving or efficiency of energy use and its attendant economic benefits, pursuit of the CC sector as an employment & revenue generation venture and improving access to finance for actors were some of the issues proposed. Consequently, a score of 3 is assigned. The influence of the CSOs also led to the North Tongu district also including clean cooking in their MTDP with the CSO now monitoring to see how this will be rolled out in the annual plans.This score is expected remain unchange for the next half year.06-05-2019: "Over the period, there has been an improved collaboration between ORGIIS and the local assemblies with ORGIIS becoming the fountain of CC knowledge resource for the Assembly and stakeholders generally including other development partners. Collaborations include; 1. Drafting CC concept for mainstreaming into the Midium Term development plans 2. CC presentations on health, enviornmental amd economi impact to general Assembly and Gendaer Sub-committee 3. Assemblies & ORGIIS joint forum for Assemblywomen, youth groups and lead advocates and community/opinion leaders 4. Joint radio and community awareness raising campaigns between Assemblies and ORGIIS 5. ICS/LPG dissemination and awareness raising programme between ORGIIS and Novrongo Health resawerch Centre/University of Collarodo in the USA on an INCE project dubbed, prices, peers and perceptions. 6. Collaboration between bORGIIS & Envirofit in the supply of their stoves with discussion ongoing between them and Man & Man and ACE. The arrangemement is under a carbon credit program to deliver affordable improved cookstoves to Village savings and loans associaltions in the upper east region. An MOU will be signed to that effect. 7. Colloborations between ORGIIS & TREE AID, another NGO to deliver improved cookstoves to about 1200 members of households in the project catchment area while also planting woodlots to provide households with fuelwood in the future. Innthese collaboration the Assemblies and ORGIIS and seen to be jointly undertaken with follwo-up actions from partners in some aspects. We hoever agreed on a score of 3 in the intrim. GHACCO collaborations were as follows: 1. Joint policy dialogue session, joint submission of policy brief with SNV and GACC/CCA; on the national roadmap with EC, GACC and other CSO/NGO and MDAs; on the roll-out of LPG new cylinder Recirculation model (CRM) with NPAs and other holder; clean baseline report ...It is expected that some major actions like the development of action plans and delivery of more stoves including getting FIs to buy into supporting the ICS sector once evidence of business case is shared with them will happen to merit the score of 4.02-10-2019: ORGIIS Collaborations with the Assemblies and other key stakeholders has improved significantly and our effort now seeks to consolidate the gains made over the period. For instance we have witnessed the assemblies take follow up actions that include our interest as an organisation. For some activities/engagements that are held at the Assemblys conference facility, ORGIIS is not charged fees for using the hall particularly for clean cooking. Additional areas of collaboration include: 1. Collaboration in design of tools, data collection and development of strategy plan. 2. Joint radio and community awareness raising campaigns between Assemblies and ORGIIS. 3. Collaboration with KNMA to set up working Team on Clean Cooking 4. Collaboration with KNMA to develop bye-laws on clean cooking and environmental governance 5. Collaboration with Tree AId and Sirigu Women Pottry Association( SWOPA) to construct and desseminate 1500 locally made improved clay stoves to women beneficiaries in the KNWD and Municipal. 6. Collaborating with Tree Aid and Co2 to conduct Kitchen Performance test in 120 households in the KNW and KNM assemblies. 7. Continous Collaboration between ORGIIS & Envirofit in the supply of 10,000 stoves. The arrangemement is under a carbon credit program to deliver affordable improved cookstoves to Village savings and loans associaltions in the upper east region. An MOU has been agreed on and signed to this effect. Based on the collaborative work with the relevant stakeholders, a score of 4 is the deserved score for ORGIIS because (iv)  follow up actions are taken that includes our interests A score of 4 is as well awrded by GHACCO based on the following; 1. GHACCO's collaboration with Ejisu and Ga West Municip ...Both ORGIIS ans GHACCO are expected to consolidate their collaborative efforts with the assembly and major stakeholders.24-04-2020: "The collaboration between ORGIIS, the Assemblies and other relevant stakeholders continues to grow from strength to strength and follow up actions are takento include CSO interest; 4 For the period July to Decemer ORGIIS collaborated in the following forms; 1. Collaborated with tthe Kasena District in developing and finalising the Clean cooking strageic plans 2. Colaborated in drafting and finalising CC bye-laws which has now been approved by Assembly members for gazetting 3.Collaorated with the Assemblies to hold joint radio and community awareness raising campaigns 4. Collaborated with TreeAid under the Grow Hope Project to planting over a million trees during the reporting period to replace lost vegetation and to curb deforestation. 5. Collaborated with Assembly women and community advocates in some community outreach prgrams for awareness raising 6. Collaboration with Paul huges Trust to implement a project in the Bulisa south of which a component of it revolving the dissemination of improved cookstoves to some 350 households in the project areas GHACCO has deepened its collaborations with the Ejisu Municipal and South Tongu District Assemblies which resulted in the development of Clean cooking strategic plan for each of the Assembly. Key departments of the two Assemblies, specifically the DPCU and the BAC jointly conducted community assessment and stakeholder consultation with GHACCO in the process of developing the clean cooking strategic plans. The process of developing the clean cooking strategic plan also gave GHACCO the opportunity to broaden its collaboration with National stakeholders such as the MLGRD, MoP, MoE, NDPC, Institute of Local Government Studies (ILGS), Regional Economic Planning Uints of Greater Accra, Upper East and Volta regiosns, and NGOs , namely ActionAid Ghana, Institute for Environment, Energgy and Sustainable Energy Solutions (ISEES), whoparticipated in the National Stakeholder consultation meeting to define the fo ...05-11-2020: "ORGIIS maintains an overall average score of 4 with regards to its collaboration with MMDAs/government, distributors/retailers. This follows up from actions by the assemblies take into consideration CSOs interest. Collaborations within the period include the following; Collaboration in the promotion and implementation of the clean cooking plans through the development of communication materials and engagement with stakeholders, holding of radio programmes to create awareness and demand. Also, the Business Advisory Center agreed to work with ORGIIS to identify and support the training of artisans on the production of institutional stoves. In furtherance of improved collaboration, ORGIIS continue to work with Paul Hodges Trust, Envirofit and Treeaid in the deployment of clean cooking stoves while exploring additional partnerships for future interventions. ORGIIS however scores 2 in terms of its collaboration with FIs over the period. Despite constant engagements with FIs and their continous participation in programmes organised by ORGIIS, FIs fail to actualise and execute plans and projects. GHACCO maintains a score of 4 arising from its activities over the period including holding regular meetings with private sector, CSOs, MDAs and MMDAs through various established consultative structures. These includes the High Level Working Group of the Clean Cooking sector with represntatives of the LPG sub-sector, Cookstoves, Biomass fuels, Bio-Gas, End-users, Ministries of Energy and Health, Energy Commission and Forestry Commission. The Sub-Sector working Groups for the the Cookstoves, LPG, Fuels and Policy also hold quarterly sub-sector meetings convened by GHACCO to review issues specific to the respective sectors and set agenda for the respective sub-sectors. GHACCO further engages the District Planning and Coordination Units (DPCU) of the 3 MMDAs with which it currently works with, to share updates, knowledge products and data on clean cooking isses, i ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorEvidence gathered from interview of CSOs based on scoring rubric scenario analysis. CSOs undertook self assessment to determine the baselines. A key scenario indicator was the number of workshops and seminars on clean cooking organized by sector bodies and development partners, with CSO participation. In addition, regular meetings take place between CSOs and MMDAs on CC issues that has the potential to create opportunities for CSOs to more convincingly articulate their interests towards clean cooking advocacy issues CSOs expect to achieve a collective average score of 2 within the year 10-01-2018: The CSOs' interactions with MMDAs and private sector on clean cooking generated increased opportunities for CSOs and private sector to more convincingly articulate their interests towards clean cooking advocacy issues in the intervention districts, having been invited to review meetings and allowed to make inputs in district strategies.CSOs expect to maintain a collective average of 2 within the second half of the year20-04-2018: The CSOs' interactions with MMDAs, manufacturers, retailers, the high level government officials and others have now estbalished them as credible organisation from whom relevant information is sought. Thier word also now carry weight and the MMDAs and with high governmnet officials trusting nad requesting their support from them. ie The Local government minister requested GHACCO to brieff her on the status of the clean cooking sector of Ghana in December last year upon her appointment onto the governing council of GACC. The fact that the district recognises them now as partners in the sector and can voluntarily request them to support in CC activities underlines the influence of the CSOs. ie the drafting of the clean cooking section of the web-profile for Kasena Nanakana West by ORGIIS and the ducation of MMDAs on clean cooking issues at the planning level generally. Also, the collaboration between ORGIIS, the Navrogo health research centre in partnership the University of Colorado on a research programme, where 600 improved cookstoves and 300 LPG systems were purchased and disseminated at subsidised prices in rural communities is a remarkable point of influence by the CSOs on agenda setting.The scoring is expected to remain unchanged.08-10-2018: Over the period, January to June 2018, the CSOs reinforced their commitment as credible organizations that continue to attract the attention of stakeholders and influence their actions in favour of clean cooking both at the national and district levels. For instance, SNV (V4CP & RVO), and one of the CSOs collaborated and got the attention of the Ministry of Planning which led to the drafting of a joint CC policy brief relative to what needs to be done within the policy space in Ghana, the content of which has now got the Ministry Planning to dedicate the 8th National Policy Dialogue for CC policy issues to be held on 19th September 2018. V4CPs ICS policy paper served as major input to the brief and will continue to shape the discussions into the dialogue. At the district level also, one of CSOs upon getting the two districts of Kasena-Nankana Municipal and Kasena Nankana West to agree to mainstreaming CC into their medium term development plans (MTDP) was requested by these two districts to draft the sections dedicated for CC issues in the plans. This resulted in whole sections now dedicated to CC issues in the final draft MTDP of the districts. In those sections on clean cooking, joint actions (CSO and DA) for increasing community education on the benefits of ICS on health, the environment, fuel saving or efficiency of energy use and its attendant economic benefits, pursuit of the CC sector as an employment & revenue generation venture and improving access to finance for actors were some of the issues proposed. Consequently, a score of 3 is assigned. The influence of the CSOs also led to the North Tongu district including clean cooking in their MTDP with the CSO now monitoring to see how this will be rolled out in the annual plans.The scoring for this indicator is expected to remain the same as the CSOs continue have strong relationships with the districts, enabling the CSOs to have the necessary clout and influence among MMDAs and key stakeholders on CC issues.06-05-2019: "Over 2018, the CSOs reinforced their commitment as credible organisations that continue to attract the attention of stakeholders and influence their actions in favour of clean cooking both at the national and district levels. For instance, SNV-GHACCOs CC policy brief got the attention of the Ministry of Planning which led to it dedicating the 8th natioal Policy dialoge on CC policy issues. The Ministry's interest was initially proped when excepts of V4CPs ICS policy paper was shared with them, which eventaully served as major input to the brief. Also, GHACCOs credible relations with the Second Lady got her to attend as Guest of Honour. At the district level also, the of CSOs (ORGIIS and GHACCO) got all five districts mainstreamed CC into their MTDP whcih were further reflected in their annuals plans for 2018. Influence of CSOs is also reflected in the many requests made of them by Asemblies to deliver presenations on CC at town hall meetings (including to specific committees; ORGIIS was invited to deliver a presentations to the gender, women and children sub committee at the Kasena Nankana Municipal Assembly) as well as help draft key CC messages and activities particularly in the case of the two districts of Kasena-Nankana Municipal and Kasena Nanakana West. 2018 also ended with all five districts agreeing to CSOs proposal to develop CC strategic plans to gudie their planning which, yet again is mark of confidence reposed in the CSOs. These will be developed in 2019. Another manifestation of influnece is mirrored in having Assemblies volunteer to hold joint awareness raising exercises with CSO either on radio or at the community level. Joint radio programmes happned in South Tongu and the Kasena Districts specifcally. The surging influence which had initiallly got ORGIIS to collaborate with the Navrongo Health Research Centre is yet again leading to another collaboartion between it and Tree Aid Ghana where 1200 improved cookstoves will be supplie ...Results to be strengthened by further follow up actions ie development of CC strategic plans among others.02-10-2019: This year,ORGIIS redoubled its effords as a pillar organisations that continue to attract the attention of stakeholders and influence their actions in favour of clean cooking both at Community and district assembly levels. After achieving a milestone by getting the assemblies to mainstream ICS into it MTDP, we again influence them towards the development of a clean cooking strategy Plan which will guide the Assemblies in their planning and will mitigate the challenges in CC sector. Data Collection has since began in earnest and a report will be completed by July ending 2019. Additionally, ORGIIS has continously recieved many requests from the assemby to deliver presenations on CC at the KNM review meetings, General Assembly meetings, Sub committee meetings and town hall meetings. For Instance, we were invited in January 2019, by the KNM to make a presentation on clean cooking during the General Assembly meeting as part of additional awareness creation. To emphasize the level of influence that ORGIIS has at the Assembly Level, the MCE during his Address to the General Assembly endorsed the clean cooking campaign by ORGIIS and stated "the Assembly will provide the platform for the organisation to carry out extensive public education campaign with the hope of activating awareness and adoption of clean cooking as an alternative to traditional fuels" He further entreated assembly members and organs of the assembly to support the clean cooking initiative. Also, we were invited in March this year by the same Assembly, to make a presentation in their review meetings about progress of our various interventions on Clean Cooking issues particularly targeting awareness raising and increasing adoption. Another manifestation of influnece is mirrored in having Assemblies volunteer to hold joint awareness raising exercises with CSO either on radio or at the community level. ORGIIS has earned the trust of partners like Tree Aid Ghana as a repository of knowledge o ...For both GHACCO and ORGIIS, efforts will be made to consolidate gains made over the period.24-04-2020: "As with the previous years, the influence of ORGIIS on government agencies and other stakeholders was again demonstrated in the year under review. This is specifically manifested in the fact that ORGIIS succesfully lobbied and supported the Kasena Nankana West Municipal and the Kasena Nankana West Districts to develop clean cooking strategic plans which will guide their efforts at promoting clean cooking in the two dstricts for the 2020-2024 period. To give the plans the needed legal backing for implementation, ORGIIS also lobbied the Assembly Members of the two Districts to vote and approve adoption of the strategic plans for implementation. For year 2020, the Kasena Nankana Municipal has demonstrated their commitment to implementing their plan by allocating budget to aspects of the strategy in their 2020 annual plan. The process of developing the strategic plans had involved conducting baselines studies, validating the baseline reports, putting together draft strategic plans, holding stakeholder review of drafts, sanctioning of drafts by the executive committee of the Assemblies, presentation of final drafts before the Asssembly Members for approval and then, adoption. Relatedly, ORGIIS lobbied and supported the Kasena Nankana Municipal in the draft of its firts ever clean cooking bye-law for the commercial and intitutional sectors in the Municipality which has now ready to be gazetted. The fact that Assembly women are now also leading advocacy activities in the communities as noted in B4 demonstrates ORGIIS influence. Also influenced by ORGIIS are the Caterers Associations in the Munipality who are now seeking to make their kitchens clean through the adoption of imporved cookstoves. ORGIIS is connecting institutional cookstove manufacturers to make this happen. With the above of 3 has beed awareded indicating that CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sector. Indeed, in the ...05-11-2020: "ORGIIS maintained a score of 3 for the period under review as the assemblies continue to put the CSO's interest on the agenda. This is supported by the fact that ORGIIS continue to get the assembly to commit to the promotion and implementation of the clean cooking strategic plans through the development of communication flyers and engagement with stalkholders. Also ORGISS continue to get the assemblies to prioritise clean cooking activities by i.e carrying out radio awareness creation programmes. GHACCO has successfully led private sector companies and CSOs in the clean cooking sector to influence government policy and priorities to make them favourable to local manufacturers and end-users. GHACCO had 4 strategic engagements with Energy commission in March and July, during which the Alliance and the private companies and CSOs successfully convinced the Commission to address their concerns in the draft Cookstoves Regulation Instrument as well as the Terms of Reference and Framework for the development of the national Clean Cooking Strategy currently undeway. The Alliance has also successfully convinced the South Tongu District and Ejisu municipal Assemblies to mainstream proposed interventions from their Clean Cooking Strategic Plans into their Medium-Term Development Plans, which are currently being reviewed, between July and August, 2020. GHACCO maintains a score of 3 for the period."We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorOnly very occassional encounters between women groups and youth groups with MMDAs. That being the case, women and youth groups are not adequately empowered with information to engage the MMDAs and FIs on clean cooking issues Our interventions are expected to trigger regular encounters between women and youth groups on CC issues by closing their knowledge gap on clean cooking advantages 10-01-2018: Although women and youth groups have not had regular meetings with other stakeholdes, their participation in meetings organised by the CSOs and MMDAs have helped to close their knowledge gap on CC issues and readied them for improved interaction with relevant stakeholders Score of 1 is expected to be maintained in the second half of the year20-04-2018: Although the CSOs have had regular meetings with the women and youth groups, it will appear that they are yet to find a loud voice in demanding ICS inclusion with MMDAs or in significantly influencing the other stakeholders. At least four joint meetings between CSO and women & youth groups one hand, and the district assemblies in kasena Nankana Municipal and West, GA West and Ejisu Juaben on the inclusion of CC in Assembly plans are reported to have been held. Ample knowledge on CC issues has however been transferred to these women and youth groups which ready's them for active participation in the advocacy process in the ensuing period. An improvement is therefore expected.Expectation is that more women and youth group will engage in direct advocay this year by engaging MMDAs and other value chain actors.08-10-2018: In June 2018, some selected women assembly members were trained on clean cooking issues. This training is expected to help them influence policy implementation at the district assembly in favour of clean cooking. The Chief of Kazigu in a publications called for government support in favour of clean cooking and suggested that other chiefs should support women to establish wood lots for cooking.Even though there's high capacity building for women, their low representation in institutions and leadership at the assembly is hampering their influence in decision making but there's progress. Hence the score is expected to remain unchanged in the next halfyear.06-05-2019: " For the year under review, ORGIIS continued to build the capacity of women groups and stakeholders to demand clean cooking solution in their respective Assemblies. In June 2018, some selected women assembly members were trained as advocates on clean cooking issues. This training helped them influence policy implementation at the district assembly in favour of clean cooking. Following the training, the Hon. Member for Mirigu electoral area has become loud at advocacting for clean cooking in the Kasens Nankana West. Also, the Chief of Kazigu who had participated in the meeting, in a publications called for government support in favour of clean cooking and suggeted to other chiefs to support women to establish wood lots to be harvested for cooking purposes. During the 2018 town hall meeting, the Hon. Member for Mirigu, again vigroulsy advocated the need for budgetory allocations to CC interventions in annual plans, at least to equip her caucus to actively educate women in respect of household airpollution to help save lives. Also, the Chairlady of the Women and Children sub-Committee who had demanded the Assembly to get ORGIIS to build the capacity of her committee on CC issues has subsequenstly recommended to the Assembly that CC become part of the agender of all general Assemly meetings including that to be held d in 2019. This hass been accepted by the Asembly. On the other hand, GHACCO trained and deployed 45 women advocates in the 3 Districts, who actively participated and ensured that clean cooking interventions were prioritized in the mediul term development plans of the Assemblies. The women provided convincing envidence and testimonies of the negatives impacts of HAP on women from their traditional cooking practices, which resulted in the CC interventions included in the MTDPs. The women advocates have since been following up with the 3 District Assemblies for release of funds for the implementation of the CC interven ...We expect to maintain the score of 3 with expectation of deepening the results through encouraging more women and youth advocacy actions and interventions.02-10-2019: For the period under review and following what was done in 2018, ORGIIS continues to build the capacities of women and youth groups across the two districts and other stakeholders to be CC ambassadors in their respective communities and to also be better placed to demand clean cooking solutions and advocate for budget allocation from their local authorities. As part of our plans to improve upon what we achieved last year, this year we have selected Advocates(female) who organised community sensitization and awareness raising activities on CC and also serve as liason officers between ORGIIS and their areas/communities for households/individuals interested in purchasing an Improved Cook Stove. Their further training will go a long way to enhance thier capacities in influencing policy implementation at the district assembly level in favour of clean cooking. During the accountability workshop organised by ORGIIS on the 20th of June, the community advocates called on the Assemblies to establish a working Team on clean cooking which was accepted is currently bieng worked on. The women advocates also advocated for the enactment of a by-law in favour of clean cooking which was accepted. To this effect, a draft sample by-law has been submitted to ORGIIS to enable it come up with a draft CC by-law for the input of stakeholders and adoption. Their consistent engagement has increased their influence level on the assembly. GHACCO's advocacy and lobby for clean coking interventions in Ghana is led by very experienced and dedicated women leaders who are backed by other women in leadership of CSOs and NGOs in the clean cooking advocacy in Ghana. The current Chiar of GHACCO, the Vice Chair and Secretary of GHACCO are experienced women who are in constant touch with relevant Government agencies, advocating for increased funding and dissemination of clean cooking solution in Ghana. GHACCO has strong women allies in strategic government agencie ...Both GHACCO and ORGIIS intends to empower more women and youth to increase and sustain their level of influence24-04-2020: "The influence of women and youth groups on the agenda of government agencies and stakeholders continue grow. This is demonstrated by a number of actions taken by the Assemblies in response to requests made by community advocates and women and youth groups. For instance, a request made by community advocates at the accountability workshop organised by ORGIIS on 20th June 2019, has seen the Kasena Nankana Municipal responding positively by adding the reponsibility of clean cooking promotion to the Works Sub-committtee. Accrodingly, the committtee has been renamed to Works and Energy Sub-committee. Also, the Assembly has acted on calls by women advocates on the need to enact a clean cooking by-law given that a draft of this bye-law has now been approved by the Assembly and on its way to be gazetted as noted in E1 above. Additionally, the influence of women and youth groups was also felt in the process of developing the clean cooking stragic plans as they were seen lobbying chiefs and residents to suport the development of the strategic plans, this included mounting radio sations and encouragng particpation as well as engaging in community outreach. In addition to the chief of Kazigo who has been a very vocal advocate for clean cooking, they also got the buy-in of the chief of Kologo who participated actively in all processes leading to the developmnet of plans. These among others yet place the infuence of women and youth groups on government agencies and stakeholders at 3. GHACCO advocacy efforts is strongly supported by womenadvocates at both community and national levels. At the district level GHACCO has over 50 women adovactes who participated in the district consultation fora leading to the development of the clean cooking stratetgies. GHACCO have over 30 women advocates at the national level in strategic national agencies CSOs, the media and commerce at ellaborated in the Mid-year, July report. GHACCO has also engaged Market Queens in influenci ...05-11-2020: "The role of women and youth groups in promoting and influencing CC agenda among government agencies remain unabated in the Kasena Nankana Municipal and Kasena Nankana West District hence ORGIIS maintains a score of 3 for the period under review. Under the auspices of ORGISS, the capacity of women and youth groups were further enhanced via training sessions which includes two financial linkage meetings with financial institutions (Naara Rural Bank,Navrongo Teacher Credit Union and Assemblies of Godd Credit Union) , 3 GHAFFAP meetings, 3 area council level meetings. ORGIIS also facilitated 2 meetings with NBSSI with Nyangua, Kologo, Pungu women and youth groups, where the women made a number of interventions to influence agenda setting at the MMDAs and other departments. The women after benefiting from the capacity building and awareness creation were able to engage their representatives (assembly members) to demand for the need to address clean cooking needs for their members and households as a way of influincing agenda setting and on that basis, ORGIIS scores them 3 in that regards. GHACCO has a critical mass of women in its leadership and women advocates, with the sheer vision and mission to transform traditional cooking practices and technologies and policies in Ghana. These includes 20 women clean cooking advocates in high positions in relevant public agencies, namely Ministries of Energy, 3 at Local Government and Rural Development, 2 at Ministry of Planning, 1 at ministry of Education and 2 at ministry of Health, 3 at Energy Commission, 2 at National petroleum Agency, 1 each at Environmental Protection Agency, Forestry Coomission, Ghana Standards Authority, Institute of Industrial Reseach and gender Desk officers at the 3 MMDAs. GHACCO further has 45 women advocates in CSOs and community groups, at both national and district levels who contribute enormously in setting the agenda for the clean cooking sector for civil society advocacy. In ea ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsEvidence based on scoring rubric assessment of MMDAs by CSOs. CSOs are provided with information on policy implementation decision by the districts and hence some accountability mechanisms are set up at the district assembly levels bt these are not functioningWe anticipate that there will be adhoc for a for cnsultaion with CSOs in which CSO will be given the opportunity to provide feed abck to MMDAs 20-04-2018: The CSOs have reported working with heads of 4 units each in their districts. For ORGIIS, these were mostly, the M/DCE, head of planning, head of budget and head of coordination or Administration in each district. For GHACCO these were mostly the head of planning, head of small scale industries (NBSSI), head of environmental health and the school feeding desk officer in each district. In terms of accounability ratings, ORGIIS awarded collective average rates to these decision makers in each MMDA as follows: Kasena Nankana Municipal - 3; Kasena Nankana West - 3. Both scores have been justified by ORGIIS to mean that the MMDAs were transparent in their actions ad decisions and where necessary they create the appropriate platform for a discussion. They sited their invitation to particpate in last years permance review. The planning oficer of the municipality was sigled out for priase while the Budget for Wset was said to be difficult to work with in terms of transparancy. GHACCO on the other hand, had the following collective avearge scores; Ga West - 3, Ejisu - 3 and Sogakope - 2. GHACCO is of the view that these officers are open and transparaent in their actions and create room for discussions. They however think that Sogakope (South Tonge) was still a little problematic in terms of tranparency except for the Administrator who is found to be exceptional. No formal oproceses have been however been created. It should be noted that once the MMDAs have very little activities to report on CC at the moment there is little incentive to be resistant at giving information of any kind. The actions in respect of CC are now be taken together with the CSOs only when the prosecution of clear actions plans commence, perhaps this will the reality accounatbility present itself.We expect the collective average score to remain the same as the CSOs explain that some of the districts been reassigned to other districts and they are not sure how accountable their replacements would be. Besides the DCE for Kasena Nankana passed on and they are not sure what his replacement would look like.06-05-2019: "In addition to working with 4 heads of units each in both Assemblies (Kasena Nankana Municipal & Kasena Nankana West) in 2017, ORGIIS further engage four addiotnal staff, two from each Assembly; 2 assistant planning officers, 1 Assistant budget officer and a gender desk Officer. In terms of accountability ratings, ORGIIS collectively rates the decision makers in each MMDA as follows: Kasena Nankana Municipal - 4; Kasena Nankana West - 3. In terms of general budget planning and accounterbility the assemblies have improved their processes but there are no specific accountability engagements in relation to clean cooking. ORGIIS was invited to partcipate in the review meetings, Town Hall meetings, Sub committee meetings and planning meetings which created the needed platforms for discussions. The staff of the Assemblies generally are transparent and open to constructive criticism to improve their governance process. We however put Kasena Nankana Municipal ahead of Kasena Nankana West ;articulalry bbecause the Head of planning Unit, Assistant planning and budget officers of Kasena Nankana Municipal Assemblyare more open and transparent with process and plans. It it our hope that budgets twill be allocated to clean cooking where we can track expenditure and evaluate accountability in practice. GHACCO in 2018 worked with 4 officers in each district; Planning Officer, Head of Business Advisory Centre or NBSSI, School feeding desk officer and Head of Environment Health Unit. In 2018 they worked with the more senior officers including; Coordinating Director, Budget Officer, Gender Dest officer and the Director of health services in each of the 3 GHACCO repprts that the officers have been very receptive, engaging, committed and open in terms of the process. For them each of the District was scored 3 implying that they are transparent respond in terms of feedback. Overall, a score of 3.2 which is an average of the scores of all five districts have been aw ...We expect local Assemblies to atrengthen formal procedures for feedback and consultation with CSOs. Other Assemblies may however work towards acting/ deepening responsivesness to the demands of CSOs through the changes in policies and practices.24-04-2020: "As noted from the clean cooking strategy development process, the bye-law development process, the MTDP & annual plans development processes, and the consistent attention given to clean cooking now, we can confidently state that KNM and KNW have been really very receptive and proactive towards engaging with CSOs in determining policy agenda, in seeking information and possible options. And in this regard, we will rate KNM at 5 and KNW at 4. Thus, our overall assessment is a 4.5 for the two Kasena Districts. The deficiency of KNW is that the capacity of its planning unit appears to be weak. GHACCO: The three MMDAs have each used the approved annual planning and budget guidelines in the planning and budgeting for FY2020, between October and December 2019. The DPCU led the exercise in collaboration with the Development Planning Sub-committee of the Assemblies. Each MMDA has conducted the two mandatory public hearing forum during the planning preparation and approval process. They each have organized stakeholder consultation workshop with all stakeholders to review priorities, focus and targets for the FY2020. During the prepapration of the clean cooking strategic plan in Ejisu and South Tongu, the District officials were very receptive of critical and alternative views shared by CSOs and the women and youth groups during the stakeholder consultation forum. The Assemblies accepted proposals for them to increase annual budgetary allocation for clean cooking actitivies and also agreed to do more sensitization and education on indoor air pollution on both radio and during outreach activities. GHACCO awards a overall score of 3 for GA West and 4 to Ejis and Sounth Tongu. This brings it to an overall scores of 3.7 for the MMDAs they work with. "05-11-2020: "In 2020 ORGIIS continued to work with the local assemblies to consolidate the accountability mechanisms that existed with the view of improving their score for the period. The assemblies constantly shared information about their programs and activities with partners and also consult partners regularly in their planning and budgeting process. We have been receiving regular updates from the assemblies about the status of the developed byelaws and implementation of the strategic plans. As well, the assemblies have held some community level sensitization and radio discussion programs on clean cooking which helps to account to the citizens. On the bases of this, the assemblies maintained a rating of 5 and 4 for KNM and KNW respectively. Thus, our overall assessment is a 4.5 for the two Kasena Districts. GHACCO has established a working relationship with key government agencies, specifically the Energy Commssion, National Petroleum Authority, Ministry of Energy, and environmental Protection Agency and 3 MMDAs where they share information on government proposals and decisions, as part of their consultation and accountability process. Both GHACCO and these agencies are able to request for meeting with each other on specific issues of interest. For example, when Government through the Ministry of Energy announced the programme to deploy 500,000 domestic ICS in November 2018, GHACCO wrote to request for a meeting with the Minister of Energy to seek information and influence local content in sourcing of the ICS. The ministry honoured the request and the meeting came off in February 2019, and subsequently the ministry agreed and decided to source all 500,000 ICS from local manufacturers in Ghana, which decision is being implemented between January and October 2020. GHACCO is a member of the National Road map working group of the clean cooking sector and attends the regular quarterly meeting of the group at the Energy Commission. GHACCO, further has a represe ...Count of interface meetings between duty bearers and right holders on clean cooking promotion It is expected that ther will 2 interface encounters with CSOs and MMDAs 20-04-2018: The CSOs (ORGIIS) reports to have held two accountability workshops with the Kasena Nankana Municipal and the Kasena West District Assembly. These workshop were reportedly aimed at explaining theprocesses of accountability in planning processes, the need for it and what they as CSOs would require CSO and other residents of the districts would require to know in relative to CC pans and implementattion trajectory.An average of 5 accountability workshops are expected, 1 in each district by the CSOs. These would be used to monitor to how progrmmed ICS activities are being conducted as well as whether budgets are being expended in apprpriately on these activities among others.06-05-2019: No accountability workshop was organized on clean cooking for the period under review. This is owed to the fact that while CC was mainstreamed in the assembly cation plans, investigations at the Assemblies showed that budgtes were tied to donor support which was unavailable making it difficult for the tracking CC activiteis implementation and expense to enable more productive accountability workshops.Both GHACCO and ORGIIS plan to hold 1 accountability workshop in each district in 2019.24-04-2020: "An accountability workshop was organized on 20 June 2019 for the KNM and KNW combined with community advocates and chiefs in attendance including sime Assemby members. The workshop saw the participation of 50 participants from the two-district assembly. The Assemblies used to opportunity to talk about theur budte and policy making processes and aassured partcipants of the availability to answers to citizens. Progress of the baseline data collection toward developing the clean coking forum was also shared at this forum. At the end of the workshop two key issues stood out. One was the need to establish a clean cooking working Team and the second was the need to develop byelaws that support clean cooking at the local assemblies. Both of these have now been addressed, at least by KNM which exemplifies the Assemblies readiness to listen. GHACCO has organized three accountability workshops, one each in Ejisu and Ga West Municipalities and South Tongu District. In all 90 participants from civil society, women groups, youth groups, private sector and community representatives took part in the workshops; 35 in Ejisu, 30 in Ga West and 25 in South Tongu. The workshop was focused on assessing the MMDAs programmes and provision of clean cooking services to the communities during the year, and to collect feedback from the people to enhance the delivery of clean cooking services in the coming years. The two MMDAs jointly organized the accountability workshop in their respective Districts. GHACCO facilitated the sessions with the Assembly and its agencies, being the major duty bearer at the events respondeds to questions, demands for information and also shared information of the achievement and plans of the Assemblies under the MTDP. Participants of the workshop included women and youth advocates, community representatives/leaders, retailers of ICS and biomass fuels, end-user groups including school feeding caterers, food venders and food processors. They s ...05-11-2020: "ORGIIS along the line changed its approach and hence the target for the accountability workshops. ORGIIS instead change its approach regarding accountability from a top-down approach to a bottom-up approach by focusing on the key target groups to build their capacity and enable them demand accountability from authorities. As result, ORGIIS collaborated with women rights advocates to build the capacity of clean cooking advocates, gender activits, women and youth groups as well as the assemblies on gender equality and social issues in clean cooking. This is to enable these groups of persons or stakeholders effectively monitor and ensure that the annual plans of the assemblies reflect activities as planned in the CC strategic plans in the ensuing years. GHACCO did not plan nor organized accountabilty workshop. "The data on this indicator will be collected using the policymaker rating tool. For each individual policy or decision maker the score will be determined. Confidential20-04-2018: confidentialconfidential06-05-2019: "In 2017 ORGIIS reported working with 4 heads in each district. These included M/DCE the head of planning, head of budget and head of Administration in each district, making it 8 officers. In 2018, four more were added; 2 assistant planning officers in Kasena Nankana West & 1 Assistant budget officer and the gender desk Officer for kassena Nankana Municipal assembly. Thus ORGIIS worked with a total of 12 officers in 2018. In terms of support ratings, ORGIIS collectively rates the decision makers in each MMDA as follows: Kasena Nankana Municipal - 4; Kasena Nankana West - 3.2 A score of 4 for the Kasena Nankana Municipal because they have mainstreamed CC into their MTDP, reflected in their annual plan, requests supprits vigriously, speaks lodudly about it in public, join in radio & community programmes, leading the way with CC strategic plans with MCE committing to subsidise ICS for enduers with Assembly budget. Overall, their planning and budget units have been very proactive and extremely supportive in favour of clean cooking. . The link below is a joint publication by the two assemblies during a strategic stakeholder forum. and the Link here; http://www.ghananewsagency.org/social/assemblies-pledge-to-support-clean-cooking-initiative-143287. Also, the Kasena Nankana West district score of 3.2 is being justified by their inclusion of ICS in their medium term developement plan, commitment to strategic plans, and requests for support from ORGIIS. However, the budget officers pace of change in favour of ICS has been very slow and lacks some transparency. GHACCO in 2017 worked with 4 officers in each district; Planning Officer, Head of Business Advisory Centre or NBSSI, School feeding desk officer and Head of Environment Health Unit. In 2018 GHACCO worked with the more senior officers including; Coordinating Director, Budget Officer, Gender Dest officer and the Director of ...ORGIIS will bring on board 4 more officers from the assemblies these will be the Ghana Healtth Service reps & Prsiding members. GHACCO targets to bring on board the MDCE and Presiding Members of each District (total 6).24-04-2020: "In 2019 ORGIIS reported working with 15 MMDA officers in total in the Kasena Districts. For Kasena Nankana Municipal (KNM), these were the MCE, Head of planning, Head of budget, Coordinating Director, Assistant budget officer, Gender Desk Officer, Assistant Planning Officer, District Statistician, Ghana Health Service Director and Presiding Member. Thus, the latter 3 officers are the new officers they worked with in 2019. In terms of rating, they have rating them as follows: MCE -4, the head of planning -4 , head of budget -4, the Coordinating director -4, the Assistant budget officer -4, the gender desk Officer - 4, Assistant Planning Officer -4, District Statistician - 4, the Ghana Health Service Director - 3.5 and Presiding Member - 3.5. An average score of 3.9 is therefore awarded to decision makers in Kasena Nankana Municipal as they are usually, not only very receptive to proposals, but also proactive in ensuring the implementation of same. For instance, the MCE has always highlighted clean cooking in his addresses, the Planning and budget officers championed drafting of the clean cooking strategic plans and ensured budget was allocated to same. The Coordinating Director ensured that the final strategy was put on the agenda of the Genaral Assembly in order that it could be approved by the house for implementation. The District have mostly supported with data collection and analysis. Regarding Kasena Nankana West (KNW), the officers ORGIIS worked with, and the scores awarded them are as follows; Planning officer - 3.5, Two Deputy planning Officers - 3.5, Budget officer - 3, Coordinating Director - 3 and DCE - 4. The overall score for decision makers in KNW is therefore 3.4 It is observed that the DCE is very supportive of clean cooking interventions and will wish that thngs had moved fatser but the capacity of his staff including budget inadequacy are themajor challneges. The budget unit however ensured that budget allocation was made f ...05-11-2020: "In 2020 ORGIIS continued to work with the key policy makers in the district. These included MCE and DCE(2), the head of planning and deputies(5), head of budget and head of Administration in each district(2), making it 9 officers, 1 Assistant budget officer and the gender desk Officer for kassena Nankana Municipal assembly and the district director of NBSSI (1). Thus ORGIIS worked with a total of 12 officers in 2020. In rating the individual officer and how supportive they have been to our work, ORGIIS collectively rates the decision makers in each MMDA as follows: Kasena Nankana Municipal – 4, thus they are known champions for the issue, plays a leadership role in advancing the issue, and consistently makes the issue a priority on the agenda. This is based on their role in developing the communication materials and radio programs that they have held to promote CC. Also, the Kasena Nankana West district score of 3 for demonstrating their support through actions such as speaking in public encouraging others to support the issue of clean cooking, and commitment to strategic plans. GHACCO continued to work closely with leadership of 27 relevant key departments and units of the MMDAs in the 3 districts, who have incorporated specific issues of clean cooking in their routine activities in planning, public education, training and extension services. These include the District Coordinating Director, Planning Officer, Budget Officer, Gender Desk Officer, Director of Agriculture, Director of Social Welfare and Community Development, Director of Health Services, Head of Business Advisory Centre and Head of Environmental Health Unit. The DCD, DPO, DBO and GDO are key members of the District planning and coordination unit of the MMDAs and so are able to incorporate clean cooking issues and interventions in the Medium-Term Development Plan and Annual Action Plans of the MMDAs, during the current ongoing review of the MTDPs in all the 3 districts that GHACCO ...Figures about current investments of FIs and Businesses are not yet availableBaseline value not expected to change within one year 20-04-2018: No data available. Actions to be initiated for data tracking. A consultant will be hired to review or survey FI and Business investments to track data.06-05-2019: Data in term of FIs investmenet in CC could not be found as all Fis indicated no financing of these kinds of businesses. Indeed, they explained that even if they were to fund an ICS business it would simply be treated as general commercial loans.No change is expected in this regards.24-04-2020: Information related to this indicator has been difficult to obtain as FIs have no specific products for ICS companies. However, CSOs intend to intorduce CC enterpises to Private Advisory Financing Network (PFAN) which now targets financing climate related enterpises in CC businesse with very good proposals. PFAN has supported some clean cooking organisations so far but the data to this effect is yet to be retrieved.No data available. Actions to be initiated for data tracking. A consultant will be hired to review government ICS programmes and annual budgets to track data.20-04-2018: No data available. Actions to be initiated for data tracking. A consultant will be hired to review government ICS programmes and annual budgets to track data.na06-05-2019: A review of national budgets (a collaboration between CUTS International & V4CP) from 2010-2017 for the Energy Ministry did not show any allocations for CC till date except for LPG and in those cases no specifc budgetory figures are mentioned. Also, the 2019 budget indicated that about 65,000 ICS will be disseminatd by governement but no figures were attached. Addionally, the 500, 000 ICS programme by government will constitute investment but details in terms absolute investment figures are yet to be known. Thus, while some investments are coming up, it is difficult at this stage without the details to evaluate itheir impact interms of support. Actual figures may also be helpful to begin which and we wwill continue to pursue that. The good thing howver is that untill date, ICS was alomost ruled out and to that extent, we can confidently associate these investmenet to our advocacy.There are talk about an RBF prgramme to be implemented by EC. Perhaps, in the strict sense of financial support mechanisms, that may be useful and we will continue to monitor progress on this.24-04-2020: No specific financial mechaism has been established by government agencies in this regard. Meanwhile the gov't or the Ministry of Energy is working the World Bank to estbaish a programme which will include RBF. Specific nature is yet to be included.Percentage is based on absolute increase in budget allocationInvolved collection and analysis of annual budget allocation and expenditure data recorded in 2016 composite budget of selected districts. Required isolation of relevant budget lines as proxies for clean cooking activities in the districts, followed by collation and measurement of the indicators. Relevant activity budget lines used include: 1. Promotion of ICS and LPG products 2. Sensitization of women and youth groups on advantages of clean cooking 3. Seeking alternative financing for investment in clean cooking for MSMEs and households No data currently exist on the exact value of budgetary allocation by government to the CC subsector. This will form the basis for a study indicated for Indicator B2 aboveBaseline value not expected to change within one year 20-04-2018: No data availabe. Action to be initiated for data tracking. A consultant will be hired to review MMDA budgets and expense to track data or CSO will work with their specific MMDAs on this where feasible.06-05-2019: For 2018, four out of the five Assemblies (with Ga West as the exception) budgetted for CC in their annual action plans. South Tongu for instance, allocated GHC7,500 for awareness raising. As this never happened previously, we consider it to be a significant humble beginning that may improve over time. With a sub-component budget of GHC10,411,500 from South Tongu, the corresponding share is 0.072%.We expect some improvement but since no trend has ben established yet, it is difficult to tell exact %.24-04-2020: Between 2018, Sounth Tougu budeted GHC 7500 and KNW budhtted 60,000. For 2019, KNM has budggted 60,000. Thus the total budget for 2018 and 2019 by the Assemblies is 127500 but that fr 2019 is 60, 000. Thus, the increase in budget over for 2019 is 47%. Actual amount spent over this period has yet to be confirmed although we can confirm that some money has been spent on clean cooking activities.05-11-2020: "For 2020, the combined budget amount allocated by the two assemblies; KNM and KNWD for clean cooking issues, increased by over 3000 Ghana cedis, representing a 17% increment over the period under review. Both assemblies; KNM and KNWD over the period allocated about 15, 000 and 5,000 ghana cedis respectively to facilitate CC agenda in their districts. We however note that implementation of activities for this year will be affected due to the outbreak of COVID 19 where the Assemblies priority has been shifted to expenditure that helps to fight the virus. We wish to note however, that, the 60,000 which was captured as the budget allocatiion for 2019 was determined to be inaccurate because, rather the CSO taking the budget figures for the 2019 from the anuual actiom plan of the district, they instead took the bulk allocation of 60,000 Ghana cedis from the MTDP of the districts which covers the period of 4years starting from 2018. The review of the annual action plan for 2019 revealed that the actual allocation for 2019 was 10,000.00 for KNM and 7,500.00 for KNWD making it a total actual 2019 budget of 17,500.00. Therefore the increase for 2019 for these two assemblies was the difference ratio of between. GHACCO has noted that the South Tongu District Assembly has increased its annual budget allocation for Clean Cooking intervention from the GHS7,500.00 in 2018 to 8,000.00 in 2019 and GHS8,500.00 for the year 2020. This represents about 6.6% increase in 2019 and 6.3% increase in 2020. GA West and Ejisu Municipal Assemblies have reported that even though they did not have budget allocations for Clean Cooking interventions in their annual action plans, they have actually executed some activities which includes public education anf sensitisation, and capacity building for several units for the municipalities including the DPCU, environmental health units, agricultural department and Business Advisory center. Average % increase in annual budget allocati ...Analysis of policy documents, strategic plans, government reports/websites. Main documents are the Ghana Sustainable Energy For All Action Plan (2012) and Ghana Country Action Plan for Clean Cooking Although the CSOs are expected to improve influencing agenda setting and collaboration with sector bodies, towards improving policy implementation, it is not expected that in year one the MMDAs will incorporate ICS and LPG into their plans. We will however continue to influence the agenda of NDPC to incorporate ICS into the planning guidleines. 20-04-2018: "For the reporting period, 4 new or adjusted policies or related frameworks have come up. These are; 1. Gazzetted ICS Standards and lables 2. LPG Cylinder recirculation policy 3. Drafting of MMDAs Medium Term Devlopment Plans (MTDP) 4. The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) Review However, the only policy being implemented at the moment is the cylinder recirculation. "We expect finalisation and adoption of the MTDP with clear activities for ICS in the annual plan for this year. We expect the districts to initiate the process of passing by-laws excluding ICS from local taxes and for the plantation so woodlots. It is expected that the REMP will also be finalised and adopted. The CSOs will achieve this through advocacy engagements with the DPCU of the districts and the Mninstry of Energy & Power and the EC06-05-2019: "In 2018, we had expected that 3 policy related frameworks which began in 2017 will be finalised and implemented. These included the MTDPs of the assemblies, the REMP and CC by-laws by the Assemblies. At the end of 2018 only the MTDP have been finalised and is being implemented and so only that has been counted. The application of the REMP and the drafting and implementation of CC by-laws is being expected. Other framweorks came up in the course of 2018, these included a revised Ghana Energy Policy which now include an elaborate portions on clean cooking and draft ICS regulation. It is our expected that these would be finalised this in 2019 as well. An important discusion that also began in 2018 is the drafting of CC strategic plans for the Assemblies amd we expect this to commence. "We expect that REMP and the Updated Energy Policy and some the CC related by-laws would be implemented. The strategic plans will be drafted but implementation across board may not happen in 2019.24-04-2020: "In 2019, the following policies were being tracked; 1. The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) 2. The District Clean Cooking stragegic plans 3. The District clean cooking Bye-laws 4. The LPG Cylinder recirculation model (LPG Policy) 5. The Gazetted Standards and Labels 6. The District Medium Term Development Plan (MTDP) Our expectation for 2019 was that the REMP, the NED and bye-laws will be completed and implemnetd but that the the strategic plans will be completed but not implemented. We were doubtful of the complete implementatation LPG policy because of the disagreements still around it. The MTDP on the other hand had already seen implementation since 2018 was counted at the time and so it is not counted in 2019. At the end of 2019, the Cylnder policy is being implemented on pilot. The REMP is also being implemented. Thus, we count two adjusted policies as those which have seen implementation in 2019. A narrative of the progress made by each of this and the accompanying scores are noted in K2 below. Additionally, the development of a separate clean cooking policy or stratgeic plan which we have pushed from inception of the programme gained acceptance in 2019 and the World Bank is funding the development of a clean ooking dstartegy for Ghana which is scheduled in complete in April 2021. We however did not include it in our tracking list here because its acceptance was not known at the planning season for 2019. "05-11-2020: "Implementation of the following was expected to be carried out in 2020. 1. The clean cooking strategic plans 2. The National Energy Policy 3. The Gazzetted CC Standards and Labels/Biomas regulations 4. The CC bye-law for Kasena Nankan West Municipal Of the above, the clean cooking strategic plans have seen some level of implementation in two out of four districts. The Biomas Cookstove regulation also saw new adjustment leading to a final version to be submitted to parliament.However, the CC bye-laws remain adopted but not gazzetted yet. The National Energy Policy remains has been finalised and awaiting cabinet approval. Detailed tracking of each of these policies are explained under K2 below."The planning guidelines cannot be change now looking at the current government's agenda and focus. However, there is a chapter on CC in the current government manifesto. We will continue to monitor its implementation 20-04-2018: From K1 above it is observed that the LPG Cylinder recirculation model has been adopted and is being implemented albeit its challlneesg. . On an inviduall scoring baisis, the LPG policy scores a 4. V4CPs role in conncetion with this has to do with CSO educational engagements with the districts on the new direction of LPG distribution in order that the may supportits smooth implementation. The policy at the monenet is howver froought with chanllenges as the oil marketing comanies are clearly not in support of government's appointment of a monopoly to manage the supply of cylinders from the national level among others.We expect that issues around the LPG policy will be resolved to enable its effctive implementation (5). This will be one of the highlights of V4CPs advocacy at the national level. We will also push for neccsary actions ( action plan; training, sensitisation seesions workshops) that aught to make standard and labels enforceable either sooner or next year.06-05-2019: 2. LPG Cylinder recirculation policy - Adopted; 3. To be implemented in 2019.20-04-2018: The ICS standards has just been adopted but implemenation awaits a targetted year of 2019, following the promulgation of an LI by parliament. The Standards and lables scores a 2. ICS Standards and lables which has now been gazetted is earmarked for implementation in 2019. V4CPs follow-ups with EC and the Standards authority contributed to the gazzetting of these soon given the feet draging attaitude initially adopted by both.na06-05-2019: Gazzetted ICS Standards and lables - No further changes expected. It is therefore adopted; 3. Waiting to be actuaise by ICS regulation.We expect the following; 1. ICS regualtion to be finalised and adopted . 2. Revised energy policy to be adopted & impleted. 3. REMP to be implemented 4. Annual action plans of Assemblies for 2019 to reflect clean cooking and be implmented. 5. Cylinder recirculation model to be implemented. A score of 4 is expected.20-04-2018: The REMP is also yet to be finalised. The CSO particpated in the review of the REMP and pushed for larger inclusion of ICS among others.It is expected that the REMP will also be finalised and adopted.06-05-2019: The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) Review - finalised and adopted by Minstry but yet to be considered by Cabinet for implementation. Memo submitted; 320-04-2018: The MTDPs are being finalised with the possibility of impementation beginning this year. The CSOs worked hard to secre pledges from 4 districts relative to the inclusion of ICS in these plans.We expect finalisation and adoption of the MTDP with clear activities for ICS in the annual plan for this year.

The CSOs will achieve this through advocacy engagements with the DPCU of the districts and the Mninstry of Energy & Power and the ECAt baseline, 6 distribution outlets were already established. Profiling of existing and new businesses in clean cooking and analysis of performance of participating businesses It is expected that 4 additional ones will be established, totalling to 10 distribution outlets20-04-2018: 1 LPG distribution outlet has been established in Navrongo and 2 biomass cookstove distribution outlets in Ga West Municpal. While the CSOs (ORGIIS) did not directly cause the setting up of this station, the possibility remains that it may have influenced the permitting processs via its strong advocacay engagements with the district. Also the CSO in collaboration with its partners, the Navrongo heath training centre, have worked with this distributor in the supply of the 300 LPG systems to homes. The two biomass distribution outlets in Ga west were howvwer influenced directly by GHACCO. The distributors partcipated in GHACCO's engagements and expressed interest in becoming distributors. GHACCO then arranged a match making between them and some manufacturers, an understanding was reached and supplies to these distributors began.CSO expects a minimum of 1 ICS distribution outlet to be established by end of year in each district.06-05-2019: "4 Retail outlets were established in the Kasena Nankana Municipal assembly in Navrongo. after reaching 20 retail shops in the year under review as explained in I1. GHACCO reports 50 Distribution/retail outlets of ICS have been established; 20 in Ga West, 20 in Ejisu-Juaben and 10 in South Tongu Districts at the end of 2018. These outlets are at different capacities and size selling differents ICS brands including Gyapa, Ohema, Holy stoves, LGP stoves and cylinders in shops across the towns of Amasaman, Sarpeman, Pokuase, Mayera, Ejisu, Juaben and Sogakope. The increased number of retails outlets which largely came from GHACCO is motivated by its increased efforts at creating value for its members so as to win their commitment. This has led to significant market development efforts where GHACCO is pursuing the creation of retails outlets as one of the key strategies. ""ORGIIS targets 6 retial outlets in 2019. Three to be located in KNM and another 3 in KNWD. GHACCO targets 25 additional Distribution/retail outlets; 10 in Ga West, 10 in Ejisu-Juaben and 5 in Sogakope."24-04-2020: "We engaged 9 new retailers. 4 in the Kasena Nankana West district and 5 in Kasena Nankana municipal assembly to improve access to ICS by increasing the number of distributors in the two Assemblies. Of the 9 distribution outlets contcated, we were only were successfully with 2 who agreed to take on ICS sales, both in KNM. 24 new distribution outlets of ICS and LPG (and cylinder, stoves and accessories) have been identified, sensified to participate in B2B collaboration with ICS manufacturers to increase supply of stocks to them by GHACCO. 10 of the new manufacturers are located in Pokuase and Mayira in Ga West, seven (7) are located in Ejisu, Onyi and Assienimpong in the Ejisu Municipality and seven (7) in Sogakope and Sokpe Alavanyo in the South Tongu Districts. Stocks of ICS and LPG equipments are a very low level in all the outlets of the new retailers identified in the three Districts. However, they have all indicated their willingness and commitment to establish business relationship with the local manufacturers and suppliers to increase their stock and regularity of the products on the local markets. Households and other end-users of cookstoves and fuels have pointed out during our assessment, that ICS and LPG and not commonly available on the local markets compaired to traditional cookstoves and solid biomass (charcoal and foodfuel). This confirms the low level of ICS stock that was discovered during our field visit and stock checks at the new retail outlets in the three DIstricts/Municialities. "No services are offered by MMDAs currently. 06-05-2019: All the 5 MMDAs have incorporated clean cooking into their annual plans for 2018, promotting clean cooking gemnerally and joining CSOs and community advocates on awareness raising campaigns both on radio and in communities. Budgteary allocation were committed in 4 MMDAs except in Ga West.We expect all MMDAs to make budgetory allocations in the and continue to support clean cooking promotion in 2019.Community satisfaction scorecard was admnistered to capture outcomes of FGD on relevance, accessibility, affordability and quality measured on the following CC services criteria: 1. Community sensitization of CC advantages. 2. Market facilitation. 3. ICS Capacity building. 4. Technology transfer. 5. Access to affordable finance. All the criteria were recognised as very relevant but accessibility, affordability and quality score very low for all categories of respondents No change expected in 2017 06-05-2019: Generally, the CSOs have reported that citizens are beginning to appreciate the actions of the Assemblise ragarding clean cooking. Seeing them in their communities and hearing them on radio taliking about CC is something they acknowledge to be compleletly new from the Assemblies. The availability of the stoves and prices however remain a concern. In some instances, the Assemblies are pledging to subsidies the stoves for citizens. The free distribution of stoves uinder the 500, 000 programme hold market distorton tendencies, it would appear that this would boost the image of the Asemblies with citizens in term of service delicvery as these Assemblies would be ones leading the distribution proicess. The score for all the Assemblies in this ares is limited to sensitisation and market facilitation where Kasenan Nanakan Municipal And Kasenan Nanakan West are scored 3 and 4 respectively. Sogokope is Scored 4, while GA West and Ejisu are each scored 3. The efforts of the Assemblies relative to market faciliation has to do with helping to identify retail shops and supporting manufacturers who come into the MMDAS.An overall score of 4 is expetecd particulay in the areas of sensitisation, market facilitation, capacity building and "affordability". The affordability perception will be shot up by the free distributions that may happen.20-06-2018: No change was expected in 2017. To be measured in Mid-2018.The baseline is 0 as this is a new indicatorLooking at the result for 2018 first half, we anticipate deepening the awareness drive to be able to start closing sales of ICS and increasing its usage. Hence the target of 43 ICS/LPG Distributors, Retailers, women and youth groups reached at year end is expected to be achieved .26-11-2018: For the reporting period January to June 2018, 12 community groups comprising women and youth were reached to discuss the potential for marketing and using ICS, 7 retail outlets were contacted and three distributors were reached to discuss supply related issues with the intention of improving access and availability of ICS. During the interaction a lot of community and retail shops expressed high interest to do business in the area of ICS retailing. Savings groups have expressed interest in using their resources to support its women to aquire ICS.Looking at the result for 2018 first half, we anticipate deepening the awareness drive to be able to start closing sales of ICS and increasing its usage. Hence the target of 43 ICS/LPG Distributors, Retailers, women and youth groups reached at year end is expected to be achieved.06-05-2019: In the year 2018, a target of 43 engagements were set for both GHACCO and ORGIIS. The results from ORGIIS alone shows that they have exceeded the target by reaching out to 30 (8 in Novrongo & 22 in Paga) community groups, 20 potential retailers/distibutors (10 in Novrongo, 5 in Paga & 5 in Bolgatanga) and 3 manufacturers (envirofit, Man & Man and ACE). The focus of the community sensitisations have been explained in B4. On the other hand, the engagement of retailers and districbutors has had to do with encouraging them to add ICS to their wares to ensure that ready supplies are available to endusers by heliping expand ICS distibutor and retail networks. Similarly, manufacturer are encouraged to make supplies to high interests and credible shops identified where ORGIIS provides guarantee for these supplies. In the case of Envirofit howvwer, they have had to make an initial cash deposit. The 4 retail/distributor shops who eventually took action by way of including ICS in their wares were connected to VSLAs who have the capacity to makes purchses including providing collective security where for payment mechanisms under credit sales. GHACCO on the other hand had 59 enagements which comprised of the 9 community group sensitization and 50 potential retail/distribution outlets. The community engagements followed the same approached used by ORGIIS.ORGIIS will engage with 12 additional retailers 6 in the Kasena Nankana West district and 6 in Kasena Nankana municipal assembly in the hope of establishing 4 new distributors in the two Assemblies.. They are also expected to engage 15 additional community sensitisations among women and youth groups as stated in the 2019 target for B4. GHACCO on the other hand targets engaging 25 potentila retailers/distributors in the 9 communities to be engaged this year. This together with the 27 community group sensitization brings GHACCO's overall target for D1 to 52. This will improce access to ICS to endsuser by bringing ICS closer to them. This is also feasible because in is integrated within the community sensitization exercise.02-10-2019: ORGIIS have engaged 9 new retailers. 4 in the Kasena Nankana West district and 5 in Kasena Nankana municipal assembly to improve access to ICS by increasing the number of distributors in the two Assemblies. We also reached 27 women and youth groups in our community sensitization engagements, exceeding our target as stated in the 2019 target of 15. In totla ORGIIS did 36 engagement. Discussions were held with retailers with the object of influencing them to establish and expand their range of products in favour of clean cooking. While the community level engagements were focused on awareness creation and demonstrating usage of existing ICS for community members to learn for increased adoption, some additional 500 stoves were recieved from envirofit for onward dessemination to consumers at the communities which will enhance sustainable supply. GHACCO conducted 25 new enegamenet of retialers in the 3 MMDAs. This is made up of 10 Retailer engagements were conducted in Ejisu Municipality, 10 in Ga West and 5 in South Tongu District. As at the end of June 2019, 15 Retailers that were sensitized have started retailing ICS in the Districts. The new retailers are selling mostly the Gyapa brands of ICS. The retailers from South Tongu and Ga West Municipalities are taking their supplies fro Ashiaman, Konkonpe, and Timber market in the Tema and Accra Metropolis, where the Gyapa ICS producers are located. GHACCO did introduced the Retailers to these producers, from where they have since been taking their supplies. Sensitization engagements with 24 community groups comprising women and youth groups were also conducted. This brings the total number of engagements to 49.ORGIIS will engage with 3 additional retailers each in the Kasena Nankana districts in the hope of establishing 4 new retailers. We are also expected to engage 7 additional community sensitisations among women and youth groups. ​ 30 more Retailers of ICS/LPG, women and youth groups are targeted to be engaged by GHACCO either towards participation in ICS value chain as retailers or in awarreness raising to promote adoption and use of ICS. This will be made up of 18 community engagments and 12 retailer or distributor engagements.05-11-2020: "ORGIIS contacted 2 Potential distributors in the KNMA to discuss options of setting up retailing and distributions centre. However, discussions were stalled because we were unable to get envirofit to supply products within the period due to COVID 19. Discussion are ongoing with Envirofit also to review and update current MOU to fit with new models of stoves that are being introduced into the market. GHACCO has reached out to a total of 27 ICS Retailers across the the 3 MMDAs; 10 each in South Tongu and Ga West and 7 in Ejisu Municipalities. The retailers were sensitized on the various clean cooking solutions available in the Country, local manufactuerer of ICS in Ghana, Govermnet policies and regulations of the CC industry and various end-user groups and potential customers of ICS. The 27 retailers are willing to participated in our planned B2B sessions to increase distribution of ICS on local markets in their respective districts."Several market-led improved cookstove development projects have been implemented in Ghana over the decade that have stimulated sales arrangements among the value chain actors. For this baseline, data was drawn from most recent interventions that have been running till 2012/2016. The # of sales arrangements is captured relative to the the # of existing projects till 2015/16 period, thus all sales arrangments under one project is counted collectivel as one. Following are the projects: 1. Improved Ghana Cookstove Project implemented by the Carbon Neutral Company (2007-2012) 2. Gyapa Improved Cook-Stoves in Ghana project (2008-2014) 3. EPGAP (SNV): 2013-2015 4. GPP (SNV): 2014-2016 5. SFMP (SNV): till 2020No change expected in year one, so the total remains five (5) 20-04-2018: CSOs (ORGIIS) was able to arranged one sales compact between a manufacturer and the Navrongo health research Centre in partnership with the Colorado University. In this arrangement, 600 biomass imposed cookstoves and 300 LPG systems were bought from manufacturers/distributers and disseminated at subsidised prices to endusers. This collaboration has been the result of the reuutation established by the CSO as a CC advocate and so they were approached while on the field by the Centre on this collboration. Also, GHACCO reportd two sales arrangements involving ICS, one in Ejisu the other in GA west where a communlative sale of about 100 stoves were made. In the case of GA West, joint engagements were held between the manufacturers/distributers and endsuers where these sales were made. In Ejisu, the CSO upon a community engagement, compiled the names of endusers interested in making purchhases whichi list was they submitted to distributors/manufacturer for onward supply.We expect a minimum of five sales arrangements one in each district by end of year.06-05-2019: "ORGIIS in 2018 arranged a total of 5 sales arrangements. Two sales deals between some retail outlets on one hand, and Envirofit and Man & Man Enterprise on the other. Envirofit initially supplied 30 stoves at first consignment and went ahead to sign an MOU to supply another 2000 stoves in 2019. Man and Man is yet to make any suppies. Additionally, ORGIIS got some existing retailers to join them in 3 of their community engagements and forums at which places sales totalling 250 stoves were made. While 20 retail shops were reached, 4 have started actual retail of stoves in Novrongo at the moment. GHACCO, reports 7 new sales arrangements in 3 districts resulting in the sale of 300 ICS and a further 1,000 supplies yet to be sold. These arrangement are; 1. CookClean Ghana and the parent teacher associations of 5 basic schools and 5 women groups from five communities. 2. During the 2018 Renewable Energy fair in October, GHACCO paid for stands for exhibition at which point sales of 125 ICS were recorded. 3. Simalarly, arrangements were made during the 2018 Clean Cooking Forum were 175 ICS were sold. For GHACCO therefore, an overall sale of 600 stoves were made."ORGIIS aims to establish 2 sales arrangement for in each district in 2019. similarly GHACCO aims at 2 in each district. Thus, a total of 10 is expected.24-04-2020: "Between January and December, no new sales arrangements were made with distibutors and retailers. This is owed to shortage of stove supplies to ORGIIS and the region at large. All through the year, stoves supplies to us and to the region generally, only came from Envirofit based on our MoU with them to supply us with 2000 stoves in 2019. Again, as we diversified into social enterprise in line with boosting our sustainability, we recruited a dedicated sales and marketing staff in 2019 who led the stove distribution or retail business in our community outreach in 2019. Therefore, while we retailed a total of 750 units of ICS, these were actually done by ourselves rather than through other retail points. Our decision to employ this strategy has been informed by the number of visits people make to our offices directly demanding to purchase stoves but aslo based on the demand made to us on our community sensitisations. On the supply side, we continued to discusss with Man & Man on giving us supplies but this has yet to lead to any delivery of stoves. At the clean cooking forum in Kenya, we also made contacts with 5 additional companies with the view to striking a deal so we can become distributors for their brand in the region generally. These companes were; 1. Burn Manufacturers 2. African Clean Energy based in Losotho 3. Greenway Jumbo stoves 4. Envirofit Kenya 5. SSM Cook 6. HomeBiogas. We got some positive feedback from Burn particularly in terms of interest but the details have yet to be sorted out. Envirofit Kenya and Homebiogas who are also already operating in ghana through agents are promising to build on the relationship we already have here with the agents here and we will continue to follow up on the discussions. Ultimately, our challenge with sales arrnagemnet is with inadequate availability of or supplies of ICS to the region.

GG -18 Encounters were geared towards influencing agenda setting, private sector participation, and follow-ups on MMDAs, DADs and Private sector to implement actions that can impact on PHL reduction. GTLC- 15 The target for number of encounters was 11. This figure has been exceeded by 4 encounters. Encounters were in two forms: Verbal and virtual. The two existing platforms in PHL and nutrition served as the main entry points in engaging with decentralised departments, private sector, academic and research institutions. In PHL engagements were held to strengthen regional PHL framework that GTLC facilitated in developing. This included the finalisation of the PHL M&E plan in respect of indicators and conduct of a baseline survey. Encounters took place to share and agree on questionnaire, sharing of initial findings with the UWERPHMAP steering committee, the Upper West Regional Agriculture Technical Committee, radio dissemination and validation of findings.

It added that increasing processing and preservation can contribute to reduction in PHL and the private sector can play that role effectively as it is economically viable and will also complement government effort to reduce PHL. The private sector while acknowledging their role also expressed varying concerns which ought to be addressed. These include bureaucracy in getting legitimacy from state institutions, high cost of power, inadequate data for better forecasting and lack of strong legal framework for effective participation.

The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorCSOs jointly undertook self assessment based on scoring rubric to determine the baseline. The CSOs at least have regular meetings and communications with local government and in some cases, with sector bodies on PHL. Key actions were for the CSOs to put their interest in the form of PHL related proposals/press releases for partner MMDAs to table for consideration as well as community engagements to raise awareness on PHL policy issues CSOs expect to achieve a collective average of 2 within the half year 10-01-2018: With the increase interaction and engagement between the CSOs and the district level stakeholders especially the department of Agriculture, CSOs used that opportunity to explain their interest and work in the area of post harvest loss. This helped the actors, mainly the agric department to incorporate the issue into their MTDPs. Examples include proposal made to DAD to desegregate PHL interventions for ease of monitoring and tracking and this proposal is being considered in the current planning process. Strong relationships have been established with the Planning Officers, Budget officers during inception meetings. This enables us to prioritize PHL issues during meetings. One CSO received an invitation to participate in a meeting of the East Gonja District Assembly to review the 2014-2017 Medium Term Plan in Salaga on the 19th of July 2017whereby presentations were made at the event on the global and national perspectives and context of nutrition and PHL issues and the need to address them. Another presentation was on empirical evidence on the sectors following preliminary baseline findings on the status of nutrition and PHL situation in the District as well as policy lapses at the level of Government Agencies and the Assembly. Score expected to remain unchanged at year end 201702-05-2018: CSOs have deepened interactions with key stakeholders in government and the private sector, having their interests in FNS put on the agenda for discussion and incorporation into developement plans. During the second half of 2017, several actions taken by government demonstrated an increased CSO influence on local government's agenda setting relative to FNS. These are captured as follows: PFAG took part in the following meetings and influenced the agenda to focus on issues relating to PHL/FNS, including 1. Joint Sector meeting organized by MOFA, 2  Meeting with heads of Policy, Planning and Budget Division of MOFA to discuss and strategize on improving the input sub sector with emphasis on government input subsidy programs,3. National Stakeholders dialogue on Agriculture financing, 4. General meeting on the Civil Society Platform on the Sustainable Development Goals, 5. Inception meeting on Promoting Agroecology through advocacy on Farmer Input Support Programs (FISP), 6. Discussion on Women Economic Empowerment, 7. 13th CAADP Policy Planning and learning event, 8. Consultation meeting to discuss women’s critical concerns (WILDAF) 9.    National Stakeholders Dialogue on Financing for agriculture, 10. National stakeholders meeting on developing the New National Agriculture Marshall Plan. meeting with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Agric and Cocoa Affairs to provide evidence and recommendations for PHL. The CSOs made inputs on PHL and sustainable nutrition on all these platforms and proposed recommendations to be considered by various officials. Subsequently, stakeholders proposed recommendations that were carried out in a Policy brief. There was an extensive media discussion and interest on PHL and nutrition which raised awareness of the public and government to focus attention to tackling them. Findings of the policy dialogue were presented to the Chairman and ranking member of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Agric. and Cocoa A ...Score expected to remain unchanged by mid-year of 2018. The CSO will mainly still be involve in the quarterly meetings of the respective ministries and departments and as well the roll out of the current policy of planting for food and jobs which has a component on PHL.08-10-2018: An average score of 3 was given.The CSOs had quarterly engagements with DAD officials to influence the review of Planting for Food and Jobs directives that limit access to inputs by farmers. The CSOs also engaged Agric Extension Officers to help identify and engage communities that experience high PHL in selected districts. The farmers used the opportunity to appeal to DAD and DA to help them find ways and means to reduce the level of losses in their communities. As an outcome, the CSOs also received invitations and participated in public hearings on districts' Medium Term development Plans where they ensured that issues on PHL were prioritized. An average score of 3 was assigned. The CSOs also participated in various government related meetings such as Agriculture Sector Working Group and that provided them the opportunities to make inputs on PHL for consideration. Moreover,the CSO also met with the government agencies (Plan Preparation Monitoring ad Evaluation Dept, Agric Engineering Services Dept, Crop Services Dept and the Agric Extension Service Dept) to present issues and concerns on agriculture which are thoroughly discussed and given the necessary consideration it deserves. Such issues include the adoption of simple post-harvest technologies, improving road infrastructure and advocating for effective integration of post-harvest management into all government agricultural programs, among others. The score assigned is 3. Evidence from IFPRI was greatly used especially the cost-effectiveness of various PHL technologies,Score expected to remain unchanged by end-year of 2018. The CSOs will mainly still be involved in the quarterly meetings of the respective ministries and departments and as well the roll out of the current policy of planting for food and jobs which has a component on PHL. No significant policy development is expected to take place here. Only budgetary release for implementation at district level is expected. The next half will focus on private sector participation using evidence gathered from IFPRI and the focus will be to identify opportunities for private sector investment.26-04-2019: " CSOs could not significantly increase their influence on PHL agenda setting in interaction with government and private sector. Continuous recognition and participation of CSOs in government meetings and encounters present opportunities to strengthen calls for review of strategies, increasing commitments of government to address issues of PHL. The request by the Office of the President through the Senior Minister to present a proposal on Moving Ghana Beyond Aid clearly demonstrates the extent of influence of PFAG on setting agenda. This call was possible as a result of the consistent advocacy work on providing policy alternatives for the agricultural sector and the recognition of PFAG by government agencies as a result of the organizational credibility. CSOs also used that fine opportunity to press home it demands for concentration on addressing PHL to reduce our import bill and reliance on aid. Moreover, After consultations with farmers and other stakeholders submitted input into 2019 National Budget highlighting the need for increased government expenditure in PHL management CSOs deepened their interactions with key stakeholders in government and the private sector, having their interests in PHL to put on the agenda for discussion and incorporation into development plans. During the year CSOs influenced the following: 1. The adoption of inter-departmental approach by the departments of health, agriculture and FBOS in monitoring the delivery of PHL services in the Municipality. 2. Broadening of the committee responsible for the Planting for Food and Jobs from 5 to 11 including women and people living with disability. There were discussion of PHL issues, prioritization and budgeting for PHL related activities by DADs. At a V4C policy dialogue organized by GG, the Presiding Member of the Nanumba North Municipal Assembly indicated that the Assembly has taken steps to facilitate engagement of more private sector input dealers to improve smal ...Not much is expected to change.02-10-2019: "As evident with the formation of the PHM platform, the activation of the National PHL Working Group, the Active functioning of the Research Extension Leakage Committee (RELC), the current review of the AEMP-Agric Engineering and Mechainzation Policy. Hence the degree of influence by these CSOs averaged a 3. Specificially....; GRAMEEN -3 No change in this indicator in the first half of the year. GG's interest has now been regularly promoted at the District and National Level. Most of activities of DAD receive input of GG and sometimes facilitation by GG. This provides us the opportunity to influence the content and methodology to reflect PHL, private sector and gender sensitive approaches. For instance, GG makes regular contribution and facilitation of RELC meetings in Nanumba North and South Districts which gives us opportunity to influence DADs agenda in favour of PHL. Also, GG's input is highly regarded in National FBO Steering Committee meetings which gives us opportunity to influence the agenda of the Agriculture Extension Services Directorate in favour of PHL. PFAG- 3 PFAG continuous recognition and participation in government meetings and encounters present opportunities to strengthen calls for review of strategies, increasing commitments of government to address issues of PHL. The request by the Office of the President through the Senior Minister to present a proposal on Moving Ghana Beyond Aid clearly demonstrates the extent of influence of PFAG on setting agenda. PFAG also used that fine opportunity to press home it demands for concentration on addressing PHL to reduce our import bill and reliance on aid. Moreover, PFAG after consultations with farmers and other stakeholders submitted input into 2019 National Budget highlighting the need for increased government expenditure in PH management (same as Dec 2018 comment) GTLC -3 GTLC’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private ...we do not expect any change since the CSOs are now recognized at the MMDAs and the National level.24-04-2020: "Over the years the CSO have been able to work with the MMDAs to include their interest in the MTDPs which are being implemented. This is reason most of them have the score of 3 GG -3 Score did not change as GG concentrated on strengthening the lobbying for space to influence decision makers and decision making processes. GTLC -3 GTLC set the pace in the influence of agenda setting in PHL in the Upper West Region. The strategies during the half year included influencing stakeholders to adopt administrative and accountability systems and structures in the management of PHL in the Upper West region. SNG -2 SNG in collaboration with department of Agric, GHS and Key members of the Assembly constituted a joint nutrition and PHL working committee to push for the prioritization of the construction of warehouses in the four unit committees of the Assembly, collaborate with department of Agric to increase the number of communities of orange fleshy sweet potatoes cultivation to the entire district and ensure the inputs made in the MTDP are given the budget allocation as indicated in the plan NORDESO -3 NORDESO support in the objective selection criteria of farmers for the planting for food and jobs programme for the 2019 crop season. In collaboration with the department of agriculture and the Municipal Coordinating unit and other relevant local political substructures through the municipal, NORDESO could influence the development of location and use criteria for the construction and use of the District-One-Warehouse projects. PFAG -3 Due to the constant and effective collaboration with government substructures, PFAG have become influential in setting the agenda with these institutions. For instance, in respect of the proposal to re-establish the PH working group, PFAG have been able to influence the Director of AESD to initiate the process of discussing the proposal with the Technical Director to the Minister for approval. Moreover, the proposal was al ...05-11-2020: "The CSO over the period have engaged stakeholders and their ability to influence the agenda of the MMDA leading to their achievement of key results has made them rate 3 for their ability to influence agenda. All 5 CSOs rated 3 for this indicator. GG -3 There was no change in this indicator. However, we deepened our influence on MMDAs, MoFA, and DADs to ensure effective functioning of Research Extension Linkage Committees (RELCs) at District and Regional levels. We also pushed to influence agenda for deepening private sector engagements by MMDAs and DAD in PHL service delivery. An example is the establishment of a Morden wearhouse with drying and post harvest technologies in the Numba Municpal assembly to serve farmers. The other is the engament with RELC in collaboration with the Municipal Agric Directriate for increase in the nummber of Agric Extension Agents (AEA) to the Municipality. currently there are AEAs is all the zones of the area. GTLC -3 The score is 3. Findings of the PHL baseline survey that was conducted by GTLC was the headline presentation at the 2020 Upper West Regional Joint Sector Review meeting. The findings will be shared at the national joint sector review meeting by the Regional Director of Agriculture. This represents a high degree of influence by GTLC in PHL agenda setting at the district, regional and national levels. The Regional PHM consist of Private sector (Chemical dealers, Machinary dealers etc) the Media, Researcg Institutions, the Accademia and Government Institutions. NORDESO -3 By way of collaboration NORDESO supported the development of the exit strategy to maintain the gains accrued through V4CP. PFAG -3 PFAG's proposals which were shared in the form of press releases, media interviews and inputs at various engagement sessions with policy actors were largely considered in policy documents shared by the Ministry. The approach by PFAG during the COVID pandemic was largely to use the media to highlight it concer ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests CSOs jointly undertook self assessment based on scoring rubric to determine the baseline. The CSOs are only able to have occasional encounters with government, local authority and private sector and academia on PHL issues. Stakeholders that have occasionally been engaged include MMDAs, Agric faculty of the University of Development studies, FBOs, equipment suppliers. It is expected that by half year, the CSOs will have been able to trigger regular meetings and communications with respective MMDAs, academia, FBOs on PHL issues resulting in a collective average score of 1 within the half year 10-01-2018: Due the regular meetings between the CSOs and the respective district level stakeholders, the CSOs provide very relevant information / data which are required by Gov’t and the private sector. Again, the CSOs also get relevant information from the government. For example, one CSO has been added as a member of Agric Joint Sector Working Group. This gives them a lot of national level data. They have also been name as a member of the Govt Policy for Planting for Food and Jobs implementing committee. Another CSO is now a member of the national Technical Committee to improve Extension Service Delivery. Score expected to remain unchanged at year end 201702-05-2018: Increasingly, plans of local governments incorporate CSOs interests on FNS as a result of they influencing agenda of the districts and have enhanced their engagements and collaboration with relevant stakeholders in addressing FNS issues. Stakeholders such as GGBL and IITA have already began collaborating with a CSO to reduce PHL by providing market and PHL technologies respectively. Other governmental institutions have also shared their strategies and challenges with CSOs for evidence generation for advocacy. Increased coordination or collaboration was laso demonstrated during regional fora on nutrition and PHL where CSOs, government ie. Regional Coordination Councils (RCCs) and private sector stakeholders participated and contributed to a common strategy in PHL for the regions. Additionally, the district agric officers' collaboration with the CSOs in participatiing on live radio discussion programmes on PHL and nutrition is noteworthy to the extent that over 80 participants from all districts in the regions participated in the forum. This level of coordination emanated from the inception meetings held in the Districts where a consensus was reached to harmonize interventions in the area of Post-Harvest Loss and nutrition On the weekly radio discussions on the V4C programme that were organized by GTLC on RADIO WA, there was a strong collaboration with the RCC which saw one of the regional agric officers being a panelist on the shows. Other stakeholders that CSOs are coordination with include DA, GHS, DAD, Environmental Health and Sanitation department, Department of Social Welfare, GSFP, Caterers, CSOs (Care International, SEND Ghana, Songtaba and AGREDs), Development Partners (UNICEF, WFP, USAID), Research Institutions (SARI, UDS), Opinion leaders, Chiefs, Farmers, Women leaders, Traders of Food Products, SMCs/PTAs, and the Media (GBC, GTV, GNA, Radio Justice & Citi Fm) on issues relating to PHL and Nutrition. One of the strategies used to get t ...Score expected to remain unchanged by mid-year of 2018. Most of the govt departments have planned their programmes but it is hope that there will be great coordination of these planned activities among the relevant players. The platforms on the planting for food and jobs, the Agric sector working group and then norther sector coordinating unit on Agric will continue to function and serve as the point of coordinating greater coordination. the V4C CSOs will continue to participant and ensure effective coordination.08-10-2018: The CSOs formerly participated and made interventions in District Planning Meetings, Research Extension Linkage Committee (RELC) meeting at regional level, National FBO Steering Commitee meeting, and Joint Sector Review (involving the various unit of the DAD has improved greatly despite limited budgets for these meetings). CSOs are constantly pushing for these meetings. These meetings are helping to improve cordination and avoid contradictory messaging to farmers and waste of limited resources. At the national level, CSOs (PFAG, GTLC and Grameen) participate in the Agriculture Sector Working Group meeting at the National Level. At national level, regular meetings organized by government agencies especially MOFA are higly patronised by the CSOs whereby CSOs are given the opportunity to suggest inputs and these are considered by the agencies. Engagament with the private sector both at district and national level still remain a challenge. However, CSOs have made private sector involvement as a key indicator in the PHL policyScore expected to remain unchanged by end-year of 2018. Most of the government departments have planned their programmes but it is hoped that there will be great cordination of these planned activities among the relevant players. The platforms on the planting for food and jobs, the Agric sector working group and then northern sector cordinating unit on Agriculture will continue to function and serve as the point of greater coordination. The V4C CSOs will continue to participant and ensure effective cordination among CSOs and government. A national private sector engagement forum is planned for the last quarter of the year.26-04-2019: "CSO involvement and participation in government related activities demonstrates the level of coordination among them. The government initiated policies like the Marshall Plan, the New Agricultural Mechanization service were all subjected to scrutiny by PFAG and other CSOs for their input for consideration. CSOs made a strong case for the prioritization of PHL management in the Marshall Plan through the construction of adequate warehousing fitted with all components needed and rehabilitation of farm roads. On the new Mechanization Policy, CSOs called for an effective collaboration between government, private sector, FBOs and other groups to secure appropriate machinery at affordable prices and develop strategy for ownership and usage which will be beneficial to farmers. Plans of local governments now incorporate CSOs interests on PHL as a result of that influencing agenda of YMA and this have enhanced their engagements and collaboration with relevant stakeholders in addressing PHL issues. Private sector PHL stakeholders such as RST Company and Shinkabuni Rice Processors have already began collaborating with a CSO to reduce PHL by providing market and PHL technologies respectively. There were noticeable improvements in levels of coordination of DAD, GHS and GG activities especially as the District Assemblies the CSOs took advantage of the planning and review meetings as well as V4C fora to streamline activities of these stakeholders. Additionally, MoFA and GHS staff collaborates with CSOs in radio program discussions. One of the strategies used to get these stakeholders involved is regulated one-on-one interactions and informal consultations to get their buy-in for activities on PHL. The following engagements were made during the year under review to contribute to the above outcome: 1. Invited and participated in YMA Public Hearing on the Draft MTDP for 2018-2021. 2. Organized Face to face meeting with RST Company on investing in PHL in YMA. 3. ...We still expect the CSOs to continue to strenthen their coordination with stake holders especially the private sector.02-10-2019: "CSOs continue to deepen the level of coordination among relevant actors. This could possible be some of the reasons for the set up of the platforms. This high levels is building up interest and ultimately would lead to improved services in PHL. in 2019, the Upper West PHL platform formed by GTLC and the inputs by PFAG into the national discussions and Grameen formed the basis for the increase. Specificaly......... GTLC - 3 A strong degree of coordination was experienced during this reporting period. The measure is 3. This is the result of conversion of relationships built between GTLC and stakeholders into practical actions with strong participation of stakeholders in the development of actions and resulting in buy-in of the advocacy outcomes. GTLC V4C actions in PHL in the Upper West region has gone viral. There is no relevant government agency and private sector actor that has not participated in the process or heard of it. A good effort has gone into planning for coordination, inter alia, a Post-Harvest Management Platform has been formed, a terms of reference has been developed to guide operations and succession, a Theory of Change has been developed and discussed and will be adopted in the next half year. An M&E plan is also in the pipeline to guide coordination efforts. PFAG - 3 There have been series of regular meetings between PFAG and officials of the AESD on developing strategies to strengthen institutional collaboration to address PHL. The AESD also requests information and data from PFAG whiles there is alignment of their action plans to include PFAG's interest and suggestions. The decision to re-establish the Post-harvest working group was proposed by PFAG to the AESD and based on the merits of that proposal, the Director has promised to incorporate that as part of their plans for the year. In view of that, an officer at the department has been specially assigned to assist PFAG in developing the modalities to re-establish the PH w ...We still expect the CSOs to continue to strenthen their coordination with stake holders especially the private sector24-04-2020: "CSOs now have their plans included in the MTDP and they are able to share their interest with the private sector some of whom have joined CSOs in the implementation of their interest with government. GG - 3 Sustained engagements with private sector and government agencies improved MMDAs readiness and action to coordinate activities of all actors including the private sector. Regular meetings by RELCs, and expansion of Agric platform meetings helped to improve the degree of coordination. GTLC -4 A strong degree of coordination was experienced during this reporting period. The measure is 4. This is the result of transforming relationships between GTLC and stakeholders into practical actions with strong participation of stakeholders. It enabled the development of practical actions and increased buy-in of the advocacy outcomes. GTLC V4CP actions in PHL in the Upper West region has gone viral. There is no relevant government agency and private sector actor that has not participated in the process or heard of it. A good effort has gone into planning for coordination, inter alia, a Post-Harvest Management Platform has been formed, a terms of reference has been developed to guide operations and succession, a Theory of Change has been developed and discussed and will be adopted in the next half year. An M&E plan is also in the pipeline to guide coordination efforts. SNG -2 SNG organized a meeting with government, private sector and CSOs, discussed and develop collaborative strategies for addressing PHL and Nutrition. SNG also reminded Assembly of PHL inputs made in Assembly’s MTDP and plan contributions of the private sector in reducing PHL. SNG as an ex-officio member of the planting for food and jobs, coordinated with the Assemble on the construction of a public warehouse which is ongoing in the Municipality NORDESO -3 In the last quarter of the year NORDESO coordinated with DoA in the organization of pre-harvest event at both district and communit ...05-11-2020: "2 out of the 5 CSOs scored 4, whiles the rest scored below 3 and 1. An average score therefore is 3.2. CSOs have their plans included in the MTDP and they are able to share their interest with the private sector some of whom have joined CSOs in the implementation of their interest with government. GG -4 Degree of Coordination improved as DA/DADs took follow up actions to address issues identified during collaborative and coordination meetings. GTLC -4 The target was 4. The formation of the Upper West Regional Post harvest management Platform (UWERPHMAP) has tremendously increased coordination of PHLM in the Upper West region. The multi-stakeholder platform has developed a framework for coordination in PHL that includes a Terms of Reference (TOR), Theory of Change (ToC), M&E plan (with the full complement of indicators), and PHL baseline survey results. The Regional Coordinating Council, Regional Department of Agriculture, and all 11 District Departments of Agriculture in the Upper West region are part of this PHL coordination structure. The private sector which includes processing companies, input dealers, aggregators, farmers and market women are on board this platform. The score is therefore high at 4. NORDESO -3 NORDESO coordinated the design of activity tracking and tracing template to guide the implementation of PHL programmes teased out of the MTDP and the revision of the public financial management templates to communicate budgets data on PHL on public notices in all the six sub-municipal zones in the areas. To ensure the participation of the private sector, NORDESO succeeded in lobbying with Yancheng Xinmingyue Machinery Manufacture Co. LTD of China, to open an agency in Tamale, Ghana. NORDESO also influenced the identification of PHL sensitive activities in the YMA 2020 action plans for coordinated performance monitoring. PFAG -2 Due to the effects of the COVID, the post-harvest working group could not be functional, however, PFAG togeth ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsEvidence was based on scoring rubric assessment by CSOs. At disrict level, government officials provide CSOs and other primary stakeholders with information on policy implementation decisions hence some accountability mechanisms are set up but their functionality is weak due to low commitment to institute fora for stakeholder consultation. Given the existing dynamics at the district level, accountability score is not expected to change within year one (2017) 02-05-2018: The increased CSOs' influence on district assemblies's agenda on PHL and deepened coordination and collaboration with the Department of Agriculture (DOA) in the intervention districts have translated to increased accountability of the DOAs on PHL issues. This was demonstrated by the DOA willingness to share information about plans on PHL with the CSOs for CSOs' inputs resulting in the current Medium Term Development Plans (2018-2021) capturing CSOs issues on PHL and nutrition and agreeing to adhoc fora for regular consultation with CSOs. Again, the DoA is more open in sharing their concerns especially late disbursement of funds from central government, which in most cases far below what is planned. the DoA also called on the CSOs to hold joint meetings to prioritised the limited funds recieved from central government.Score expected to remain unchanged beyond the year 2018. With the established relationship that the CSOs have built at both the districts and national levels, they will continue to be engaged, share information and be involved. Policy makers are also expected to continue to demonstrate accountability in the PHL issues26-04-2019: "CSO participation and involvement at the 2017/2018 Agriculture Performance Review meeting presented the opportunity to examine and assess the sector's performance in terms of implementation of sector programmed. PFAG was invited as a Panelist to identify critical issues for redress and also seek clarifications and information from the ministry. The Performance Review meeting served as a tool to measure government's commitments to its initiatives. Afterwards, the Agriculture Sector Working Group meeting provided a platform for the ministry to update stakeholders on how the 2018 agricultural budgeted was executed. It was then revealed that 76% of the allocations were actually made during the year due to some administrative lapses from the ministry . This was demonstrated by the DOA willingness to share information about plans on PHL with the CSOs on the current Medium Term Development Plans (2018-2021) capturing CSO’s issues on PHL. Again, the DoA is more open in sharing their concerns especially late disbursement of funds from central government, which in most cases far below what is planned. The DoA also called on the CSOs to hold joint meetings to prioritized activities issues with the limited funds it received from central government. Citizens were educated on the prevalence of malnutrition in the municipality and mechanisms of demanding accountability from duty bearers in local government structures. DoA accountability mechanisms only improved slightly due to increased engagements and conscious sharing of relevant information with CSOs and farmers. The Decision by the DoAs of Nanumba North and South Districts to establish the RELCs is perhaps the most significant step towards improving accountability by the DoA and the District/Municipal Assemblies. More so, accountability forum was organized for right holders to exact and demand for better service delivery in the municipality. This resulted in mutual trust between duty bearers and right hol ...The CSOs would continue to work towards the existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. They would continue to advocate for the opportunity to provide information to decision makers.24-04-2020: "CSOs have formed some plat forms which include government, private sector and other stakeholders where they are able to share evidence that compel the stakeholders to take into consideration the interest of CSOs. These platforms serve as consulting points to addressing PHL. GG -3 GG worked for the improvement achieved due to establishment, revitalization and continuous support for RELC meetings, Agriculture Sector review meetings and town hall meetings. RELC and review meetings by the DoA sustained by funding from Modernizing Agriculture in Ghana (MAG) GTLC -3 At the end of 2019, draft administrative and accountability PHL mechanism have been adopted in the Upper West region and serves as the reference point in PHL in the region. Government and private sector support is very high and therefore it is changing policies and practices in PHL through GTLC/V4C advocacy actions. SNG - 3 SNG organized and participated in the EGMA 2019 budget analysis meeting to have a fair understanding of the budget allocations to PHL and Nutrition in general over the period 2018 to 2019 NORDESO -3 The DoA, share information and provide regular updates (quarterly) to stakeholders on PHL interventions outcomes and challenges they face for policy implementation review. This is seen to improvements over the years before. Example is the sharing of budget details seen to be departure from their previous stance. Also DoA officials accounted for their stewardship in the provision of PHL services during the town hall meeting organized in December 2019 to citizens. Citizen’s participation in the DoA 2020 action plan dissemination is mark of improved accountability mechanisms. PFAG -3 PFAG continue to partake in government initiated platforms such as Agricultural Sector Working Group (ASWG) where government decisions, policies, programs and results are presented for scrutiny and feedback. PFAG also participated in the Annual Agricultural Sector Review Workshop organized by th ...04-11-2020: "An average score of 3.75 was rated by the 4 CSOs in the degree to which DoA accountability mechanisms were functioning. The CSOs were able to establish Technical teams to hold duty bearers accountable. GG-4 There has been some improvement in the functioning and sustainability of RELC and Agriculture Sector review meetings. RELC and review meetings were sustained by funding from Modernizing Agriculture in Ghana (MAG). There was improvement in the reporting and level of stakeholder engagements towards improved accountability by MoFA/DA GTLC 5 This is a yearly target and not relevant in this report period. The target was 6. However, the score remains at 5. The disruptions created by the COVID 19 pandemic delayed the opportunity to share the comprehensive PHL accountability mechanism with stakeholders. Even though the mechanism has been recognised, it requires follow-up meetings to ensure that implementation mechanisms are put in place at the regional and district levels. GTLC will continue to engage citizens through radio with the findings to enable demand for accountability from citizens to duty bearers. NORDESO -3 Regularly, the YMA budget unit, DoA, and the PHL working group continue to share information and provide updates (quarterly) to stakeholders on PHL interventions outcomes and challenges they face in rendering PHL services. Example is the sharing of budget details during the radio accountability forum. PFAG -4 PFAG had numerous media engagements to demand action and strive on government to put in place measures to mitigate the effects of the Coronavirus on the agriculture sector, and especially for small holder farmers. PFAG also took advantage of its participation in the Agriculture Sector Working Group and the Agriculture Forum to demand the development of a framework to invest in agriculture during the pandemic. PFAG also developed a report that highlights the needs of vulnerable groups and the proposals will be shared for consideratio ...The data on this indicator will be collected using the policymaker rating tool. For each individual policy or decision maker the score will be determined. confidential02-05-2018: Decision makers/policy implementers of 8 districts comprising Yendi, Talensi, Bolga, Mion, Wa West, Tamale Metropolis and Sagnarigu, West Gonja were assessed using the policy maker rating tool. The Planning Officers (District Planning Coordinating Unit (DPCU) and the District Directors of Agriculture (District Agricultural Value Chain Committees (DAVCC)) were scored. Overall, the Planning Officers and the Directors of Agriculture each have demonstrated support to the CSOs on prioritizing PHL issues in their districts by officially inviting CSOs to participate in their planning meetings and incorporating CSOs interests in district plans. Hence an average score of 3 (support) was assigned to each. Again, at the national level, the tool was not used but there are clear demonstrate of support at the national level. the CSO participation in national level dialogue and meetings has highlighted the issues of PHL and hence, these CSOs especially PFAG, GG and GTLC has individually and collectively recieve invites and updates on national efforts to address PHLThe CSOs will continue to work towards strenghening the decision makers support to PHL advocacy issues within the year in the 8 districts and well as the national level actors. With the Agric subsidy programme that was implemented last year, harvests are large and most farmers are not confronted with storgae challenges. this will further strenghten policy makers support to address the challenges to reduce any losses which has the potential of offsetting the gains. the Planning Officers, the Agric Directors, Crop Officers and Selected Extension Officers will use the tool to score mid year.26-04-2019: "The Minister for Food and Agriculture availed himself to respond to parliament the steps he was taking in reducing PHL in the country, The Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Agriculture agreed to make time and mobilized the select committee on Agriculture to discuss with CSO and other stakeholder to meet and take evidence on the situation of PHL in the country The six major decision makers demonstrated their support in PHL included the DCE, the MCD, the Planning officer, the Municipal Crop Officer, the Directors of MoFA and Directors of GHS. The DCE and MCD have been changed due to the change in government in recent times. CSOs therefore engaged these new decision makers on PHL issues in the district during the period under review. The DoA of the Nanumba South District indicated their commitment to increase support for PHL services considering the increasing incidence of losses in yam and soya bean. However, this remains a verbal commitment as the department had no budget yet to implement the commitments. CSOs are continuously engaging the Assemblies of Nanumba North and South Districts to strengthen their support for Advocacy issues relating to PHL. "A the national level some heads of departments from MOFA would be interviewed to see how they demonstrate support for PHL since the national contributes to the issues at the MMDAs.24-04-2020: "The successful engagement of CSOs with stakeholders with evidence has contributed to the change in actions of the key decision makers in the various districts. Some of the CSOs have been able to include district and regional level decision makers to the process. GG -9 Policy/Decision makers who have demonstrated increased support for PHL included MCE, MCD, MPO, Director of Director of DAD, Gender Desk Officer, Farmer Network Chairman, Maltiti Widows Coordinator (private), Regional Agric Director, Coordinator of Regional RELC). Increased support came from their public expression of support to PHL improvements during district and community fora, as well as their decision to champion inclusion of PHL in their respective departmental planning and budgeting processes. GTLC -11 The Upper West region is made of 11 MMDAs. The Regional Directorate of Agriculture is leading the adoption of PHL systems and structures for implementation in all the 11 MMDAs. All the 11 MMDAs have had representations at all organised meetings. The regional heads of WIAD, Extension, and Plant protection are coordinating the adoption of PHL systems and structures at all the 11 MMDAs. NORDESO -3 Three officers; Municipal Coordinating Director, director of DoA and crop officer were individually intervened based on measurement tool with all rating their support for PHL issues to be 3. The MCD continuous to ensure timely release of funds to DOA to carry out PHL related programmes in their departmental plans. The DoA through their extension unit, crop officer continue to support and advocate for resources to undertake activities gear towards increase awareness on climate-smart seed varieties, information on maturity and relevant techniques for losses management. PFAG -3 The District Agricultural Directors of Kassena Nankana and Bolga districts have shown increased support to reduce PHL in their respective districts. They have both made commitments to prioritize farmers needs on ...05-11-2020: 3 out of the 5 CSO recorded that 19 MMDAs decision makers demonstrated increased support in PHL issues. They were able to have increased number of AEAs recruited to support farmers reduce PHL. The total number was 16. One of the CSOs however maintained their number of decision makers demonstrated increased interest in PHL issues. GG -N/A GTLC-11 A yearly target and not applicable in this report period. The target was 11 districts. This score was attained. All 11 District Directors of Agriculture and AEAs in the Upper West region have demonstrated commitment to support PHL. There is the need to put in place an implementation strategy of the PHL framework. This could have been attained if the 2020 project stretched to end of year 2020, without the COVID 19 disruptions. NORDESO-5 Using the policy maker rating tool in a FGD, a score of 3 was approved for 5 decision makers in the Yendi Municipality to testify their enormous interest in supporting PHL activities in the district. These decision makers included the DCE, Planning Officer, Coordinating Director, Directors for GHS and DoA. PFAG-N/A SNG-3 The Municipal Agriculture Director, Deputy Municipal Coordinating Director and Municipal Planning Officer are the decision makers that demonstrated increased support to PHL in the Municipality. These officers were not the officers in the District when the project commenced but have been able to support in time availability, influencing the agenda and discourse of the Assembly to support PHL. They have maintained the planning for PHL in the action plans. They have maintained the budget allocated and have appeared at every programme especially those on accountability "confidential02-05-2018: Relevant ministry (MOFA), Departments and Agencies continue to be engaged by CSOs on PHL issues and have demonstrated willingness to support CSOs' issues on PHL.

Currently, the AESD is finalizing the National Agricultural Engineering Policy which will serve as the policy framework for the utilization of equipment in Ghana, a componenet of which directly address PHL in terms of storage and processing. The AESD is also showing commitment to the re-formation of the PH working group and has also begun a survey to assess the extent of PHL recorded in the country. The DCS is also demonstrating increased support by connecting farmers to available markets and storage facilities. The DAES has also recruited additional agents and provided them with logistics to improve extension service delivery in the country. The one district one warehouse secretariat has also demonstrated support in supporting warehousing that are accessible and usable by farmer groups."05-11-2020: "This is only referred to one CSO which works with the decision makers at the national level and they rated 4 since the have more collaboration at the national level.

The Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (METASIP) is based on FASDEP II which proposes a number of PHL interventions including warehousing, agro-processing, packaging and distributing. However, these interventions have not been adequately carried out due to the low commitment of Government to the policy implementation. The situation has manifested in low capacity of farmers in technical management of post-harvest losses, unavailability of improved modern technologies in managing post-harvest losses, low extension delivery in post-harvest system and poor state of storage and transportation infrastructure that could support address the issues of the post-harvest system in Ghana. (MoFA, 2010, METASSIP report) Baseline ratings not expected to change within year 2017 02-05-2018: The status quo remains unchanged on the application of the Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (METASIP) which is based on FASDEP II.

SCORE 3 - The decision of Nanumba North District Assembly to facilitate engagement of more private sector input dealers to improve smallholder farmers' access to inputs for production and PHL management under the PFJ policy is an indication of improvement in the progress towards implementation of the policy Recommendations were made on the following measures in support of the effective implementation of the flagship programme. 1. The need to set up coordinating unit to oversee all PHL related activities in the municipality to avoid duplication of efforts and waste of financial resources. 2. Commented on the need to increase district level budget of the department of agriculture to train FBOs on PHL management. 3. The need to create the enabling environment for private sector interest in PHL issues in the district. 4. The need to conduct due diligence in the siting of warehouses to ensure optimal usage and maintenance. 5.

Department and Ministries budgets are not release yet. Only the national budget has been released but the breakdown for the various components is yet to be released. For now most of the ministries and departments are wotking with an adhoc budget releases. Raw unclear budget will be available by December from the District Medium Term Development Plans (2018-2021) but in reality the budget lines will be broad and not broken down into specifics. Therefore, it will be good if IFPRI identifies budgt lines which we can consider as relation to PHL and begin to monitor that. Even with that the second problem could emerged the following year in which these identified budget lines could change.Budget figures of PHL alone in the Agric ministry budget is not standing clearly. Hence, we will work with IFPRI to determine proximate indicators/lines for PHL. Because the budget lines are not standardised, each govt, each year develops their own budget lines broadly. So the budget lines captured as baseline will not necessarily appear in the respective ministries as they were some years back. Again, even these lines can change (the way they are named) in the annual work plans of the ministries. The ideal is to capture all relevant budgets and sum them irrespective of how the components are named differently.26-04-2019: Budgetary allocation to the agricultural sector in general increased at the National level from GH 598,620,435 in 2018 to GH 967,845,075 in 2019, representing a 61% increment. There was no specific allocation for PHL but it was realized that majority of initiatives in the sector for 2019 were focused on reducing PHL. Key among them are construction of warehouses, rehabilitation of farm roads, provision of mechanized harvesters among others (PFAG 2019 budget analysis) PFAG at the National level have the opportunity to engage with the parliamentarian who called the Minister to explain steps which he plans to use to address PHL in the country. They used the data shared from PFAG. This resulted in the increase in the Agricultural budget.we are looking at an increase in annual budget in more districts.24-04-2020: "The allocation of budgets of the MMDA was done along the development of the MTDPs of the MMDA. Some specific sectors of PHL were able to get some bust in budgetary allocation in 2019. Whiles there were no changes in some MMDAs GG - 0 No change in this indicator in the year since there was no study conducted to measure the indicator. GTLC – 100% This analysis is based on the budget item SP 4.2 Agricultural Development. Under SP 4.2, the 2018 Wa West Composite budget did not contain the language used in the 2019 Budget such as 'Renovation of Agricultural Ware Houses for Planting for food and jobs programme'. This is therefore an improvement from 2017 and 2018 budgets. Budget allocation to SP 4.2 Agricultural Development for 2019 was GHc673, 693 compared to GHc436, 491 in 2018 and GHc1, 866,172 in 2017. An allocation of GHc25, 755 was made to repairs and maintenance in 2019 which is believed to be linked to the renovation of warehouses. This was completely absent in the budget in 2018. Though the 2019 allocation was about 3 times less than the 2017 figure, evidence shows direct allocation to PHL in the 2019 allocation. Direct allocation to PHL was not evident in the 2017 and 2018 budget. This is a 100 percent increase from 2018 where no allocation was provided. This is evidently a direct outcome of the V4C partnership in Wa West district. SNG -0 PHL does not stand alone in the Assembly plans but is captured as Modernization of Agriculture (MAG). The budget allocation to MAG for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 are 30,000.00, 40,000.00 and 30,000 respectively. NORDESO – 5.90% Two years data (2018 & 2019) were used to analyse the % change in budget allocation. The analysis identified activities from the budget of DoA that are PHL management related and determined the total sum of the activities for the two years. The difference between 2019 and 2018 in (%) was 5.9%. Although, the change appear low but relative to the total agriculture sector budget ...05-11-2020: "Only one CSO was able to record a 16.5% increase in the budget of GHS in a district.

NORDESO -18% Data for two years (2019 & 2020) were used to analyze the % change in budget allocation. The analysis identified activities from the budget of DoA that are PHL management related and determined the total sum of the activities for the two years. The difference between 2019 and 2020 in (%) was 18%. This was a significant improvement over % change between 2018 & 2019 which was only 5%. PFAG – 15% The mid-year budget demonstrated an increase in interventions to invest in the agriculture sector due to the effects of the COIVD. In terms of PHL management, the budget highlighted the ""importation of about US$31 million worth of farm machinery and equipment, including hand-held equipment, tractors, combine harvesters, and rice mills and the facilitation of farm equipment worth €10,000,000. These include 300 global multi-purpose minitractors with various accessories, and 220 Cabrio compact tractors with accessories such as rice reapers, rice threshers, and chemical applicators and the construction of 30 warehouses, each with a capacity of 1,000 MT throughout the country as part of measures to ensure food security, reduce post-harvest loses, guarantee farmer incomes and improve marketing. This represent an estimated 15% increase in allocation for the agricultural sector SNG -0 SNG did a joint analysis of the East Gonja Municipal Assembly 2020 budget and realised that there was increased budgetary allocation in Agriculture. The challenge is the fact that there was no disaggregation of the allocation between production and PHL"Based on new scoring rubric assessment of selected Depts of Agriculture in targetted districts. A score of 2 (in a range of min 0 to max 4) was assigned. The districts give regular attention to PHL service delivery issues in their meetings and incorporate service delivery issues in the medium term development plans as well as annual plan with some budgetary allocation for PHL initiatives although not fully released. No changes expected in year 2017 26-04-2019: "As a result of sustained engagements by GG as well as government programmed such as PFJ and RING project support, both the Nanumba North and South Districts regularly discuss PHL in their meetings, plan and budget for PHL activities and release funds to implement some of the planned activities. Some of the PHL activities rolled out include Extension services on PH management and technologies, facilitating the provision of affordable technologies for threshing of maize and soybeans, facilitating the provision of affordable storage materials such as PICS sacks. However, although these PHL services respond to the needs of farmers, they are not accessible to poor women and they are not also not focused on climate adaptation. The government has rolled the constriction of warehouses in each district to farmer. Whiles there has been recruitment of agents who have started contacting farmers with PHL technologies. This makes PHL services accessible to the marginalized( women; youth groups)"CSOs would continue to work towards mentaining the Level of quality services delivered by Department of Agriculture to producer organizations in the target communities.The PHL services criteria measured include 1. Extension services provision on PHL management and technologies 2.Building of new/refurbishment of old warehouses, roads etc.3. Provision of technologies for harvesting and storage management 4. Linking farmers to markets 5. Supporting farmers/private sector in accessing affordable financing. The main reasons for this score were: 1.The services of DAD are highly relevant to all community members since it will help reduce the level of PHL they encounter in every harvesting season 2.The education services provided by DAD are of high quality and are free of charge 3. There are no PHL management technologies or infrastructure available or accessible to the people 4. The improved storage facilities the communities have heard of are expensive and may not be affordable without a grant support by government 5. None of the community members is currently being supported by the DAD to obtain affordable financing for PHL managementNo changes expected in year 2017 26-04-2019: Marginal increase in level of satisfaction mainly due to increased PHL advocacy by GG and marginal improvements in extension services on PHL by the DoAs of Nanumba North and South owing to support from PFJ and RING programmed. However, most communities do not have access to PHL infrastructure and technologies and they are not also linked to financial services or sustainable market.NL-KVK-41152786-PRM00004035SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationImproving dairy farm productivity, milk quality/safety, proactive regulation and dairy household nutritionThe TIDE project identifies systemic market constraints, limiting the expansion of the dairy sector. It identifies opportunities for addressing these constraints by taking the lead in the formulation of relevant business cases, with implementation depending on the uptake by the private sector and in partnership with other organisations. Partnerships are sought to either strengthen institutionalisation of project initiatives or to provide leverage for business case implementation. Extensive use is also made of local organisations and expertise in project implementation, including District Local Governments. With dairy production reported to be consistently increasing at a rate of 7 % per year (and likely higher in the southwest), dairy farmers moving to intensification of production, cooperatives slowly building their market power and processors more and more competing for milk, opprtunutuies are aboud in the development of the dairy value chain It is estimated that some 70 % of all milk produced on the farm reaches the market in one way or another. There is a regional variations, as in the southwest the market orientation of dairy farmers is much stronger than in other parts of the country (the aBi baseline gives a figure of 85 % for the southwest).Most of the milk marketed reaches the consumer in raw form. The share of the formal market (i.e. processed milk) over the last five years or so has increased from 20 % to 33 %. As there is now an export market for milk in processed form, no significant change may have taken place at consumer level. There is a growing trend for intensification. This is apparent in management: 55 % of all dairy farms in the southwest has a perimeter fence, while 35 % uses paddocks and 4 % is using zero grazing (according to the aBi baseline). Another indicator is breeding: more than 80 % of all dairy households in the southwest own crossbreeds, mostly Friesian (aBi baseline). While 35 % of all dairy households reported using some feed supplements during the year, purchase of fodder or hay is almost non-existent and on-farm production is also still very low. This explains the second key factor: the milk production during the dry season is 40 % lower than in the rainy season. The Uganda Crane Creameries Cooperative Union (UCCCU) was only formally established in 2005. While it is supposed to be a national union, for now it only comprises of 10 district unions (all in the southwest), that in turn represent 128 primary cooperative societies. Its total membership base is 18,000 farmers, though at one time it was reported that only 4,100 of those were active. Considering that the livestock census (2008) reported that there were 114,000 households owning cattle in the six project districts, it shows that the cooperative movement has still a long way to go. While the formal milk market was for long dominated by one processor (Sameer Agricultural and Livestock Ltd (SALL), this has drastically changed over the last few years. At the top end, two large-scale processors have recently opened dairy plants in or near Mbarara: Pearl (200,000 ltr/day) became operational in 2013 and is producing milk powder, mainly for export (to Kenya, the Gulf and Asia). Amos Dairies (300,000 ltr/day) became operational in 2014, and is mainly exporting casein (to USA markets). Their entry in the dairy market has significantly altered dynamics, bringing in an element of competition (SALL previously had a 90% market share). An important role within the sector is played by (mainly) private sector actors, providing services to dairy farmers. The role of the providers becomes the more crucial, once intensification of production increases in relevance. If farmers want to invest to increase production, want to upgrade their stock or want to use fodder or hay, inputs such as extension services, business advice, financial services, AI providers, pasture and fodder seeds and contractors able to construct suitable and reliable farm structures are a crucial ingredient. The Dairy Development Authority (DDA) plays a crucial role, both in regulating the sector as well as in promoting its development. The balance between those two functions can also be a challenge. Some of the key regulatory challenges it is facing at the moment include ensuring that raw milk is safely transported and how to transform the informal sector However, one issue remains contentious: the price of milk. Three factors influence price-setting by market actors; The competition in the market: this has certainly markedly increased over recent years, with the added processing capacity by different companies, though there are incidentally complaints of collusion (between the main buyers); The efficiency of processors: it is difficult to obtain reliable figures on capacity utilisation, but anecdotal evidence indicates it remains woefully low across the sector. Coupled with the large rainy-dry season fluctuations, this means that processors during the dry season are operating at very low capacity (and can therefore not afford to pay high prices) and have only a small window during the rainy season to maximise their production; Integration into the world market; the more the Uganda milk market is integrated into the global market, the more world market prices are likely to influence local prices. TIDE project didn’t carry out its own baseline but depends on the IOB study done by PWC to obtain (where applicable) the baseline information. The upcoming evaluation study for the aBi Trust project (May – June 2016) will provide the opportunity to fill in the missing baseline figure gaps. Already, TIDE has contributed to the updating of the questionnaire to be used in the study, suggesting changes that would assist in obtaining the missing data.If the required information was not available, we used proxy information to arrive to some estimates of the baseline information. For example, at the impact level, it was not possible to establish the farmers’ net income. The IOB baseline did not collect sufficient data on farm expenses to determine net income. As the indicator measures increase in net income, it is assumed that this equals increase in gross income. A margin of error will be determined through sampling in 2017.At the employment level, the number of new jobs created on farm and off farm levels is used as the performance indicator. Off farm jobs comprised of those created by the provision of services (e.g. AI, extension, veterinary practice, etc) by dairy service providers to the farmers. However, the TIDE intervention in production and cooperative development would generate new employment opportunities that would be difficult to capture. So we used the FAO estimate of jobs created within the dairy value chain, estimated at 10 off farm jobs for every 1,000 litres bulked into the cold chain; currently 300,000 litres /day are bulked in the cold chain (UCCCU). That is 3,000 existing jobs as our baseline.At the outcome level, the total milk production in the region is to be reported on, however the IOB study did not give an indication of the total milk production in the region and on-farm production is difficult to measure. To estimate this, milk marketed through UCCCU - milk sold on farm either to UCCCU or milk traders will be used (close approximation of the dairy production). Increase in milk production in the south west region will be tracked by using milk sales to UCCCU linked cooperatives and processors as a proxy indicator. According to the IOB report, 85% of the milk produced is sold (pg 65); and of the amount sold, 60 % is sold to UCCCU (according to DDA SW office figures for 2015). Total sales in the region would then equal sales to UCCCU * 1/ 60 % market share of UCCCU. Total production will then be total sales * 10/8.5. The current daily milk sales are 400,000 ltr /day according to DDA, Mbarara office (2016). Therefore Current production can be obtained by: Annual sales from UCCCU (400,000 * 7* 52) times 1.66 times 1.18 = 241,696,000 Litres, that we are using as the baseline.For water resource management, the IOB study gives an indication for baseline of the access of water for production at the house hold levels. The study gives the sources of water for production in the wet and dry season in the SW region. Pg 55, show the main source being Dug wells (43%), valley dams (29%) and pond / lakes/ rivers (21%). It’s the same sources for the dry season only the percentages change: Dug well (39 %), valley dam (32 %) and ponds/ Lakes/ Rivers (21 %). Households rely mainly on seasonal water for their production; A very low proportion of HH (3%) had access to protected water sources like piped and rain water. However, the key challenges of access, quality of water and affordability of water source development remain key issues. For the improved dairy household nutrition, the project will contribute to the reduction of stunting in the house hold by influencing the dietary diversity at the household level. The aBi baseline measures the Food Consumption Score, but not Dietary Diversity Score. The current known DDS for the region is 55 %, i.e. 55 % of the sampled population had access to less than 5 out of 8 food groups (source: WFP/UBOS, 2013). At project intervention level, DDS will be measured and monitored, while at overall project level it is proposed that during the evaluation DDS will be measured, rather than FCS.   By stimulating the market for demand for dairy improvement servcies, TIDE ensures that the private sector will have sufficient market to sustain the productivity improvement function of the project long after it has ended. TIDE also plays a role in builidng the capacities of service providers to ensure future provision of quality and affordable services that can be easily accessed by the dairy farmers. In addition to this, TIDE is catalysing the development and expansion of the on- farm investments market through supporting the intensification of dairy production at farm level. This is done through the development of TIDE Products (investments that enhance milk production) and provision of grants and subsidies to demonstrate the value of such products in productivity improvement.By building the capacities of dairy cooperatives through Agriterra, the provision of services to farmers will be sustainable.The TIDE project focuses on Poverty reduction through improved dairy farm incomes, household nutrition and employment opportunities, reaching 20,000 farmers. its objetcive is to mprove the functioning of the dairy sector in SW Uganda through a Business Case approach. This entails the creation of opportunities for the private sector and public partners to; Increase productivity of dairy animals and reduce seasonal production variations;pilot paying for quality of milk under the implementetion of the Quality Based milk Payment System(QBMPS);Make the sector more attractive for investment, by improving regulation amd improve nutritional status of dairy households The TIDE project targets dairy farmers to improve productivity and improve on the household nutrition. Its also targets dairy cooperatives to improve their governance, financial management and provisison of services to their members.Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingWageningen University & ResearchAgriterraSNV UgandaAkvo FoundationRinus van Klinkenrklinken@snvworld.orgPlot 10, Haji Kasaka Road, Kiyanja Ruharo - Kamukuzi P.O.

The aBi baseline (PWC, 2014) estimates an average of 3 workers per dairy household, which would indicate that on farm employment could be 340,000. Of the current on farm employees, 11.3 % are women and 64 % are youth (18-35 years)500 jobsobs o/w 10% women o/w 50% youth. The figure is outside the project influence but that is the target as per the project proposal,21-09-2018: 392 jobs were created on farm by the project intervetions2,000 jobs o/w 10% women o/w 50% youth.The figure is outside the project influence but that is the target as per the project proposal26-09-2018: 230 jobs lost on farm for this reporting period. However, the number of jobs held by women increased by 10%2000 jobs o/w 10% women and 70% youth27-06-2019: 4,225 new jobs were created in this reporting period compared to 162 jobs in 2017. 13% of these jobs belonged to women while 72% of the jobs belonged to the youth1,000 new jobs created29-04-2020: 655 new jobs creted in this period as opposed to the targetd 1,000 jobsThe indicator measures increase in net income, it is assumed that this equals increase in gross income. A margin of error will be determined through sampling in 2017. Average farm income from dairy is what is being trackedTIDE project didn’t carry out its own baseline but depends on the IOB study done by PWC to obtain (where applicable) the baseline information. The upcoming evaluation study for the aBi Trust project (May – June 2016) will provide the opportunity to fill in the missing baseline figure gaps.The IOB baseline did not collect sufficient data on farm expenses to determine net income.UGX 1.1 million increase per farmer ;UGX 2 billion.Project interventions will lead to 25 % dairy income increase (UGX 1.1 million) per year26-09-2018: the avarage farm income for this year was UGX 3.8 million per farm with a UGX 1 billion in annual income for the farmers2.2 million UGX per farmer; UGX 6 billion .Project interventions will lead to 25 % dairy income increase (UGX 1.1 million) per year26-09-2018: increase in net farm incomes for farmers reached by the project was UGX 5.9 billion | 26-09-2018: increase in net farm income for farmers reached by the project was UGX 5.9 billionUGX 16 billion.This is a cumulative value for over the last reporting periods29-04-2020: 10.1 billion UGX as total farm income for participating farmers compared to the target of 10 billion UGXUGX 16 billion for the year.29-04-2020: The net income for farmers was 10.5 billion UGX as opposed to the targeted 16 billion UGX. This was attributed to a fall in milk prices of over 100% over the period of time.Milk prices dropped by over 100 %. if they had remained the same, Income achieved would be 37.5 billion UGX, based on the increase in production and milk sales compared to the tergetd 32 billion UGX farmer income. Total cummulative income for farmers stands at 27.5 billion UGX Increase in milk production in the south west region will be tracked by using milk sales to UCCCU linked cooperatives and processors as a proxy indicator. According to the IOB report, 85% of the milk produced is sold (pg 65) of the amount sold, 60 % is sold to UCCCU (according to DDA SW office figures for 2015). Total sales in the region would equal to sales to UCCCU * 1/ 60 % market share of UCCCU. Total production will then be total sales*10/8.5The IOB end line for aBi Trust project 2016 study did not give an indication of the total milk production in the region and on-farm production is difficult to measure. To estimate this, milk marketed through UCCCU - milk sold on farm either to UCCCU or milk traders will be used (close approximation of the dairy production). Increase in milk production in the south west region will be tracked by using milk sales to UCCCU linked cooperatives and processors as a proxy indicator. According to the IOB report, 85% of the milk produced is sold (pg 65); and of the amount sold, 60 % is sold to UCCCU (according to DDA SW office figures for 2015). Total sales in the region would then equal sales to UCCCU * 1/ 60 % market share of UCCCU. Total production will then be total sales * 10/8.5. The current daily milk sales are 400,000 ltr /day according to DDA, Mbarara office (2016). Therefore Current production can be obtained by: Annual sales from UCCCU (400,000 * 7* 52) times 1.66 times 1.18 = 241,696,000 Litres, that we are using as the baseline3 % increase.

"07-10-2019: The average score was obtained through guided self-evaluations which results were tabulated in google. The consolidation of the data was done and shared by SNV Netherlands. In 2018 target a small increase was considered compared to the reported value for 2017. The data generated shows that no CSO increased their leadership abilities since their score was maintained from 3.2 to 3.2 and 1 CSO lower its score from 3.3 to 2.5. This is coincident since the strengthening of capacities was oriented according to the demand of the CSOs. The CSOs prioritized the topics of organizational sustainability, advocacy and thematic knowledge so peer to peer workshops were developed according to the CSO's expertise. Despite the score given, CSOs consider that they made progress in some aspects of leadership such as: Search for the consensus of all those involved in the execution of activities, coordination with key actors and the efficient use of resources. They also feel that they have strengthened their communication skills for a more effective communication of their messages. They also consider that they have been more proactivity and responsible. Improvement of the relationship with various actors, better knowledge of their interests that facilitate the identification of effective routes for the solution of problems, and increase their motivation. The cause is the rotation of personel assigned to V4CP Program.

It is expected that the socialization of knowledge products developed in 2018 will continue. The main audiences for advocacy based on these reports are the authorities of DNCC/Mi Ambiente and Forestry Conservancy Institute ICF, as well as congressmen at national level, and local authorities. The secondary audience are the media, universities and regional authorities, and private sector. To reach them two regional symposiums will be developed, one in the north cost and the other in the central region where main finding of the research will be presented. Visits to high level authorities will take place and material will key messages will be distributed.07-10-2019: The target planned for this first semester was 2 knowledge products shared with relevant stakeholders but partner CSOs shared 7 knowledge products in different events; lectures were made on some of the studies carried out by V4CP, such as: 1) Fiscal study: Impact on the exemption of sales tax on improved stoves and the import tax on sheets and other imported parts. Paper presented at the 3rd Forum of the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Clean Stoves (RLCCL). The advocacy has begun at the level of national authorities for the treatment of the tax issue such as: Visit to the Energy Secretariat to present the need for exemption from sales tax on the improved stoves, based on the main findings of the study. The Energy Secretariat is interested in the issue and indicated that it will review the energy policy and other legal instruments that they have to date to see if it is possible to annex the issue; otherwise they will analyse and identify the appropriate form to prepare the opinion for the exemption of the ISR. A meeting with the Presidential Officer for CLIMA Plus was also held in order to raise awareness about the issue. This study was also mentioned as relevant evidence to promote a regional fiscal policy initiative for improved stoves. 2) Socioeconomic & Environmental Study for a National Strategy for Improved Stoves. Main findings of this study was presented at the 3rd Forum of the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Clean Stoves (RLCCL). It is also an important reference for the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves ENAEM. 3) Cost-Benefit Analysis for the implementation of the ENAEM. Meeting with the Interinstitutional Platform to socialize progress of the consultancy. Meeting with the Director of the NDCC and two collaborators, in this meeting the leadership of the NDCC was agreed on the design of the ENAEM in coordination and with the support of the V4CP and the Interinstitutional Platform. 4) Gender Approach in the ..."The second semester of 2019, efforts of the program will focus on the participative design of the National Strategy, lobbying and advocacy actions for its approval. Progress in its development will be socialized in different events such as the Symposium that will be held in Tegucigalpa with decision makers. CSOs will share the second semester the following knowledge products: 1) National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves ENAEM in Honduras. 2) Feasibility Study on Provision and Marketing of firewood prototypes as a source of renewable energy for improved stoves. 3) Cost-Benefit Analysis for the implementation of the ENAEM in Honduras. 4) Measurement of the perception of quality and access to improved stoves services."27-04-2020: The target for this indicator was to share 4 knowledge products and CSO shared 4 with different actors, and in different events: 1) “Feasibility study on provision and marketing of firewood prototypes as a renewable energy source for improved stoves”. i) Interinstitutional Platform meetings to socialize, get feedback and validate the results of the study, ii) Workshop with municipalities and the private sector, especially agroforestry cooperatives in which the study “Feasibility of provision and marketing of firewood prototypes as a renewable energy source for improved stoves” was presented. The main findings of the study are important reference/ inputs for the National Strategy-ENAEM. 2) “First draft of the proposal National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves in Honduras ENAEM. i) Event “Challenges of access to energy and its implications for food security. ii) Workshop with the Interinstitutional Platform to present the Draft of the ENAEM. It captured the interest of some actors to accompany and get involved in the process of elaboration of the ENAEM. The Director of Renewable energy of the Energy Secretariat SEN Said that the information shared can be included in the Secretariat information system that is being designed. The Coordinator of the area of risk management-Health Secretariat said that the studies supply reliable information, than can be useful for the Secretariat especially that the health issue is not perceive at first glance by users of firewood stoves. She is interested in getting more information about the variables and the questions used to compare with the tools they use to collect data, to improve the tools. 3) Cost-benefit analysis for the implementation of a National Strategy for the adoption of improved stoves. Interinstitutional Platform meetings to socialize, get feedback and validate the results of the study. Part of the data of this study was used in the analysis of the roadmap and scenarios of the proposal for ...It is expected that during the first semester 2 knowledge products will be developed that will be shared with various national actors: 1) Summary of the main conclusions of the studies as evidence to support CSO advocacy actions. 2) Final document of the National Strategy for Adoption of Improved Stoves.02-11-2020: The target for the period was two research/knowledge products developed and shared with interested parties and three knowledge products were developed and shared; 1) Final document of the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves of Honduras (ENAEM) was completed, presented and socialized with the Interinstitutional Platform and the accompaniment of the Interinstitutional Technical Committee on Climate Change, and the National Mitigation Committee of Honduras. The following institutions participated: The National Directorate of Climate Change (DNCC) -MiAmbiente, Legal Department-MiAmbiente, Center for Studies and Control of Pollutants (CESSCO) -MiAmbiente, Forest Conservation Institute (ICF), Energy Secretariat (SEN), Fundación para el Desarrollo de la zona Sur (FUNDESUR), Ecofogón Honduras, Mirador Project, Global Brigades, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Fundación Vida, Hermandad de Honduras (HDH), Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC), Escuela Agricola Panamericana El Zamorano, United Nations (UN)/Environment, SNV, Independent Consultants. A promotion and advocacy campaign in support of the approval and implementation of the ENAEM is being developed through social networks, videos, posters, brochures, and radio spots broadcast on community radio stations nationwide. Representatives of Environment, Health, and Energy Secretariats expressed their support to the ENAEM and to the advocacy campaign to get the approval of the ENAEM by the Interinstitutional Committee for Climate Change (ICCC), 2) An article on the launch of the ENAEM was published on the “Clean Energy for All” web page, a site dedicated to creating alliances for the promotion of renewable energy in Latin America and the Caribbean https://energialimpiaparatodos.com/2020/06/16/presentan-estrategia-nacional-de-adopcion-de-estufas-mejoradas-en-honduras/ I ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorAn analysis was carried out jointly with the CSOs on their degree of influence in the establishment of the agenda using the rubric of evaluation and it was concluded that once CSO has had occasional contacts with the NAMA National Table and the HOS , however, it has not been possible to establish the agenda on ecostoves. Each organization gave its score on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score and considered that its influence level is 0. It is expected that by 2017 there will be greater communication and meetings with key stakeholders: political parties, government, private sector and other platforms and alliances. Target set for the second semester of 2017 10-01-2018: Measurement of the level of influence of CSOs on the agendas of NAMA National Committee of Efficient Stoves, the Honduran Organization for Norms HOS, Zamorano – EEC, UNAH or other coordination platforms and alliances with the public and private sectors related to clean cook stoves was set for the second semester 2017. So far, CSOs have no influence in the governmental agenda for the NAMA design. SNV was invited to review and provide feedback on studios made by international institutions as base information required to design the NAMA. CSOs have more meetings and influence on the inter institutional platform to support the development of the clean cook stove value chain. CSOs have less meetings and influence on other networks, private sector and the government. At global level there is an initiative for an international normative ISO 285 for clean cook stoves. Members of the inter institutional platform were invited to send comments through ENDEV. On the other hand, the Honduran Organization for Norms HOS will review and prepare the official comments on the initiative based on the inputs provided by the members of the consent group formed by the HOS.CSOs are confident that the events programmed for the second semester of 2017 will contribute to increase the communication with key actors but they are not optimistic about increasing their influence on key actor’s agendas in the short run. Still, CSO`s have moderate expectations to influence new political candidates to take in account the evidence generated by V4CP in the Measurement of perception of population from selected communities on quality of and access to FNS and RE- clean cook stove services. The results of this research will be presented in a workshop to CSO in August and to political candidates in the last quarter of 2017.20-04-2018: "The level of influence that CSOs have on the agenda of the Institutional Platform was analyzed and it was concluded that there are frequent communications and that a space of interest has been generated with the actors that participate in it, enabling CSOs to explain the program objectives about the subject. (Both CSOs gave a score of 2 = 2 + 2/2 = 2). The platform is interested in obtaining the NAMA and developing the National Improved Stoves Strategy that includes the members of the Platform. There have been several days of analysis and participatory construction of the Profile of the National Appropriate Mitigation Action Mechanism (NAMA) of Improved Wood Stoves in Honduras. A series of documents have been analyzed. As progress and products, on Aug. 23, 2017 the National Director of Climate Change submitted two studies for support or basis for the construction of the NAMA of efficient stoves in Honduras for review and comments to the Interinstitutional platform. Another progress is the increase in the number of organizations that participate in the platform, especially from the government and universities or academia."It is not expected that there will be significant changes for this first semester, the objective of this semester is to strengthen the inter-institutional platform and influence other relevant institutions to join it. We will also focus on positioning the proposal for an Inclusive National Strategy in the inter-institutional Platform and in other instances, achieving a high level of influence.15-11-2018: Applying the evaluation rubric, a joint analysis was carried out with the CSOs on their degree of influence. The target set for the period was 2 and the achieved score is 3. Due to the V4CP actions done, CSOs have had more contact, the opportunity to explain the interests of the program, and influence the agenda of the members of the inter-institutional platform. The members of the platform are active actors, they have been part of the validation and socialization of the studies, agribusiness fair, participate in the interviews for the gender study – and midterm evaluation. The agenda has been constructed responding to common interests, there is interest in creating a more favourable environment for the topic of improved stoves.For the second semester the target remain. Actions will focus on strengthening the inter-institutional platform and influence other relevant institutions to join it; also on positioning the proposal for an Inclusive National Strategy in the Interinstitutional Platform, private sector, public sector and in other instances, trying to achieve a high level of influence and accompaniment of relevant actors.07-10-2019: The measurement of this indicator was carried out using the application of the evaluation rubric, a joint analysis was carried out with the CSO to define its degree of influence. The target established for the period was 3 and CSOs gave a differentiated score, one CSO scored 2 and the other scored 3 giving an average score of 2.5, which was rounded to 3. Due to the actions that the program has carried out, the CSOs have had frequent communications and contacts. A fluent communication and a common space have been generated with the actors that participate in the platform, which allowed the CSOs to explain the objectives of V4CP in the theme of RE and influence the agenda of the members of the inter-institutional platform to include and prepare the inputs for the construction of the National Strategy. The members of the platform are active actors, who have been part of the validation and socialization of the studies, they have participated in the process of gathering the information, and they have also been part of the interview process for the preparation of the studies. The program has been built responding to common interests, there is interest in creating a more favourable environment for the issue of improved stoves. The platform is interested in the ES NAMA and in developing the National Strategy for improved stoves. There is a common interest in creating a more favourable environment for the issue of improved stoves. Dialogue with other entities has also been sought to make of the National Strategy a topic of national interest. It has been possible to integrate a greater number of actors within the events of validation and information gathering for the studies. Most actors show interest in being part of the Platform and in the development of the National Strategy for Improved Stoves.The target for this semester is maintained, the actions will focus on strengthening and structuring the platform and influencing other relevant institution. Continue influencing the agendas of the various actors and position the National Strategy proposal on the Interinstitutional Platform, private sector, public sector and in other instances, trying to achieve a high level of influence and the accompaniment of relevant actors. It is consider that the It has been identified that there should be greater involvement at the political level, but more at the level of ministers to promote the Strategy, it is considered that the Interinstitutional Platform has the participation of relevant actors, mainly at the technical level. The current participants contribute to advocate in their own institutions about the Platform topics. In 2019, more efforts will be focussed in reaching key actors at the highest levels, such as: Some key actors: Minister. Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente). Leads the NAMAS. Minister. Health Secretariat Minister. General coordination of the government of Honduras. Director. Better Life program. Director. Forest Conservation Institute (ICF). Minister. Energy Secretariat07-10-2019: The degree of influence on the agenda of the Interinstitutional Platform -IP was analysed jointly with the CSOs and with the evaluation rubric a score of 3 was given as defined in the target. CSOs concluded that there is a fluid communication between the Members of the Interinstitutional Platform, and the members have joined efforts to promote the adoption of improved stoves and the initiative of a participative design of the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves ENAEM, promoted by V4CP partner CSOs. The platform analyses, discusses and validates the studies carried out by V4CP program to fill the knowledge gaps with the identified studies. The Platform is a space for participation, coordination, and lately for reaching consensus on different issues related to improved stoves and other topics of interest. The actions carried out to date have contributed to increase the participation, coordination and influence of HDH and F. VIDA in the agenda of the Interinstitutional Platform (IP), and also in the agenda of some governmental entities participating in the IP. Thinking on sustainability, V4CP program organized a one-day workshop, a day of reflection on the current situation and future perspectives of the Interinstitutional Platform for the development of the value chain of improved stoves. It highlights some points that were coincident among the participants: A model of institutionalization should be defined, in terms of: on what, and how the IP will work. Establish a roadmap Regulation of the membership, with duties and rights, defining criteria to be part of. Revalidate agreements through a letter of understanding with new partners. Define legal, organizational and operational level, which results in a participatory and inclusive structure. Define strategic planning process, including operational plan. Organize support committees for each of the aspects to work according to expert people or institutions. Have sustainability plans, ...Se espera que a fines de 2019, el nivel de influencia de las OSC aumente en la plataforma, ya que trabajarán juntas en una hoja de ruta con acciones específicas para influir en las estufas mejoradas para que estén exentas de impuestos. Con este fin se han celebrado una serie de reuniones con entidades gubernamentales. Se continuará trabajando con la Plataforma para completar los aportes para la preparación de la Estrategia Nacional para la Adopción de Estufas Mejoradas. Los actores coinciden en que debe elaborarse una regulación interna y que debe ser una plataforma permanente, aunque no legalmente constituida. Queremos asegurar su sostenibilidad y todos los esfuerzos se están haciendo para trabajar de una manera más estructurada, con planes definidos.28-04-2020: "The target for this indicator was 3, the CSOs applied the evaluation rubric to measure their degree of influence on the agenda of the Interinstitutional Platform (IP) and by consensus they gave a rating of 3 which is the maximum rating according to the evaluation rubric. The CSOs consider that they have frequent meetings, there is a fluid communication between the members of the Interinstitutional Platform, the CSOs call the members and have been able to place on the agenda the studies developed by V4CP. All members have participated actively in the design of the National Strategy for Adoption of Improved Stoves (ENAEM), promoted by CSOs/V4CP, as well as in analyzing, discussing and validating the studies carried out by V4CP to fill the knowledge gaps identified by the CSOs. The Interinstitutional Platform is a space for participation, coordination and consensus on different topics related to improved stoves and other topics of interest. The actions carried out to date have contributed to increase the participation, coordination and influence of HDH and F. VIDA on the agenda of the Interinstitutional Platform (IP), as well as on the agenda of some government entities that participate in the IP. As part of the actions, the IP developed a positioning on the road map and scenarios proposed by ECLAC for the transition from the use of traditional stoves to LPG gas stoves. The Interinstitutional Platform is increasing its positioning and influence. Example of this is that the National Directorate of Climate Change (NDCC) designate the Interinstitutional Platform as the governance mechanism for the preparation of the concept note of the Efficient Stoves NAMA (DNCC/SNV/-IDB financing). It warranty a participatory process in which main actors of the value chain will participate in the discussion, will provide inputs and feedback, and participate in the decision making process related to the preparation of the concept note of the NAMA. Likewise, the inclu ...CSOs efforts will focus on long-term outcomes. However, attention will be given to the institutionalization of the Interinstitutional Platform. Actions to strengthen the IP will continue, such as an internal regulation and structure guide or legal documents that rule its structure, membership, activities and its strategic and operational functioning permanently even if it is not legally constituted. A consultant will be hire to facilitate the process with Platform members. Work will be done to complete inputs to prepare the final document of the ENAEM, prepare the draft of the PCM for its approval and advocate for its approval. In turn, ENAEM is expected to have its action plan for its future implementation and to prepare the draft of the PCM for the exemption of the sales tax on improved stoves and their parts. The members of the Platform have shown interest in supporting these actions.02-11-2020: The target for this indicator was 3, the CSOs applied the evaluation rubric to measure their degree of influence on the agenda of the Interinstitutional Platform and in consensus they maintain their score of 3, which is the highest score within the evaluation rubric. The CSOs have frequent contact with the members of the IP and have managed to place in the agenda the actions that the program is carrying out, such as: National Strategy where all the support from the IP was received to complete it. Currently, consultants were hired for the institutionalization and strengthening of the internal structure of the IP. Since its creation the IP has evolved both in its membership, going from 7 founding members to around 25 participating organizations, as well as in functions, going from space for exchange of information and share experiences in a space for consultation and advocacy on public policies. Different sectors identify that the IP plays a transcendental role in the development of ENAEM and foresee it will have a relevant role in its implementation. The IP strengthening includes: a) Internal regulations, structure and basic functions for the IP to perform its role, b) Updating the Letter of Agreement of the IP, c) Work plan for 2020-2021 and d) Training of members interested in integrating the committees and others of the IP on these tools. A series of workshops are being held where the members provide inputs and feedback and validate the products. HdH, Fundación Vida and other members of the Interinstitutional Platform have been invited by the National Directorate of Climate Change (NDCC/MiAmbiente), to support other related national efforts such as the Concept Note of the NAMA of improved stoves, financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Also, the main findings of the V4CP studies and the ENAEM are being used as reference of the NAMA. CSOs are part of the Ad hoc committee established to lead the advocacy actions for the exemption of ...An analysis was carried out jointly with the CSOs on their degree of influence in the establishment of the agenda using the rubric of evaluation and it was concluded that only in the case of Fundación Vida has had occasional contacts with the NAMA National Table and the HOS by Fundación Vida, however, it has not been possible to establish the agenda on ecostoves. Each organization gave its score on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score and considered that its influence level is 0.It is expected that by 2017 there will be greater communication and meetings with key stakeholders: political parties, government, private sector and other platforms and alliances. Target set for the second semester of 201720-04-2018: Measurement of the level of influence of CSOs on the agendas of NAMA National Committee of Efficient Stoves, the Honduran Organization for Norms HOS, Zamorano – EEC, UNAH or other coordination platforms and alliances with the public and private sectors related to clean cook stoves was set for the second semester 2017. So far, CSOs have no influence in the governmental agenda for the NAMA design. SNV was invited to review and provide feedback on studios made by international institutions as base information required to design the NAMA. CSOs have more meetings and influence on the inter institutional platform to support the development of the clean cook stove value chain. CSOs have less meetings and influence on other networks, private sector and the government. At global level there is an initiative for an international normative ISO 285 for clean cook stoves. Members of the inter institutional platform were invited to send comments through ENDEV. On the other hand, the Honduran Organization for Norms HOS will review and prepare the official comments on the initiative based on the inputs provided by the members of the consent group formed by the HOS.CSOs are confident that the events programmed for the second semester of 2017 will contribute to increase the communication with key actors but they are not optimistic about increasing their influence on key actor’s agendas in the short run. Still, CSO`s have moderate expectations to influence new political candidates to take in account the evidence generated by V4CP in the Measurement of perception of population from selected communities on quality of and access to FNS and RE- clean cook stove services. The results of this research will be presented in a workshop to CSO in August and to political candidates in the last quarter of 2017.15-11-2018: An analysis was carried out with the CSOs on their degree of influence in establishing the agenda with the public sector using the evaluation rubric (1 CSO gave a score of 1 and another CSO gave a score of 2 = 1 + 2/2 = 1, 5). They concluded that there are frequent contacts with ICF, Mi Ambiente and SAG as they participate in the Platform, and they are very interested in the NAMA of improved stoves and the actions that the program is promoting, but it is necessary to raise more interest on the national strategy and to get the involment of other actors such as Clima Plus, the municipalities and their association AMHON, as well as FUNADEH, they are key actors.It is not expected that there will be significant changes for this first semester, the current political environment is not so favorable for CSOs since the spaces have been closed, it is expected that the government instances that have participated in the Platform will continue to do so and there is a risk due to the general elections held in the month of November 2017, the people who participate from the government are changed from their current positions, so it will be necessary to approach with several institutions and continue lobbying. The actions of this semester are to achieve positioning in the relevant spaces through the development of bilateral meetings with relevant actors such as: Community Development Institute for Water and Sanitation-IDECOAS, GEMA Project, Honduran Social Investment Fund -FHIS-Poder, CSOs will promote spaces and debates to socialize information, especially RE studies. Approach with Clima Plus, municipalities and AMHON.15-11-2018: A joint analysis was conducted with CSOs on their degree of influence using the Evaluation Rubric and both CSOs had a score of 2, the target for the first semester was 1.5. CSOs have frequent contact with the National Directorate of Climate Change-DNCC, Institute of Forest Conservation-ICF and Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock-SAG DICTA- are the institutions that have participated throughout the process and in the gender study also participated IDECOAS. There is an advocacy effort with PAHO, which is worked on the diagnosis of energy access in homes in Honduras HEART and invited Fundación Vida and the Interinstitutional Platform as important actors to join effort and work together in the study. In the case of My Environment there is already a follow-up of the NAMA registry, there is interest in the topic and they have an active participation in the inter-institutional platform, for which reason it has been placed on the agenda of that institution. ICF also participates in the actions that are promoted from V4CP through the platform. The program has been socialized and there are direct contacts with the municipalities of the Western Zone and the Territorial Climate Change Table, Environmental Municipal Units UMAs, and Municipal Table of Climate Change. There is interest in RE topic and also on water, forest and soil. The offices of women-OMM are the social arm of the municipalities. There is direct coordination of the program actions with the OMM and the UMAs. They participated in the events of socialization of the program in the western region. In the southern zone an event was organized with Invest H - Creative to socialize information with their partners on the context, stoves models, stage of the market of improved stoves, and national regulations on improved stoves.It is not expected significant changes in the second semester but that the participation of the governmental instances in the Platform remain and add relevant actors. The CSOs trust that the programmed events will contribute to increase communication, coordination, and influence on decision makers but they are not so optimistic about increasing the influence on the agendas of the actors. For CSOs is very important to carry out an analysis of the actors and develop a strategy of approach and advocacy.07-10-2019: A joint analysis was carried out with the CSOs to determine their degree of influence using the rubric of evaluation and both CSOs gave a score of 2, the target for the second semester 2018 was 2. There are frequent contacts with ICF, MiAmbiente and SAG as they participate in the Platform, but a strong work is needed with Clima Plus. Also, the municipalities and AMHON are relevant actors that the platform need to attract to strength the advocacy. It is also necessary to integrate FUNADEH as it is a key player. There is a permanent contact with MiAmbiente who is the actor that has a high participation and that has shown high interest. The participation of MiAmbiente/NDCC in the platform has facilitated the achievement of the target. It can be said that the subjects of interest of V4CP have been placed in his agenda. On the other hand, there are other governmental entities such as ICF, SAG, Energy and Health that participate in the platform but not as intensively as MiAmbiente/NDCC. The participation of the academic sector and other institutions of the government have been achieved. Actions promoted by V4CP, especially the studies, knowledge exchange, and advocacy actions have contributed to the empowerment of the actors that participate in the platform meetings. Other actions such as the socialization and dissemination of information about the program and its objectives has been carried out in five municipal governments in the western area (Fraternidad, Dolores Merendón, La Labor, Lucerna and Sensenti) to raise interest and advocate for the platform and the national strategy but more needs to be done to reach other relevant actors to add support to these initiatives.CSOs consider that the events scheduled for the first semester of 2019 can maintain their level of influence and will contribute to increase communication, participation and collaboration with the key players, but are not optimistic about the increase of their influence in the policy decision makers agendas or of some governmental institutions at least in the short term since there is a level of distrust with the state instances that are a political entity more and there is little interest in developing effective processes for the good of the country. They also consider that it is not easy to place the agenda of the program, since each organization has its own agenda based on what they want to achieve. CSOs do not consider that a significant change can be made, but it is expected that the relations with the actors that have been achieved so far will be maintained, established and made more solid. CSOs believe that effective strategies should be developed to continue lobbying and advocating.07-10-2019: "The degree of influence on the agenda of other platforms and alliances with the public sector was analysed jointly with the CSOs applying the evaluation rubric and a score of 2 was given, which is the same as the target. CSOs consider that they have increased their level of influence with some governmental entities such as MiAmbiente, Energy Secretariat, FCI, and Health Secretariat, since frequent meetings and communications have been held; they participate regularly in the Interinstitutional Platform`s meetings; and relevant information on improved stoves have been shared with them. CSOs consider that they have not influenced government plans and agendas to include their topics of interest. However, there is interest from the state secretariats that participate in the Interinstitutional Platform to participate and to support the processes, including the participative design of the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves ENAEM promoted by CSOs. For some governmental institutions, V4CP program and its partner organizations are like their technical arm that has generated and facilitated valuable information and fill the gap of scarce available information on this subject. In the case of Hermandad de Honduras HDH, despite the fact that it is located far away from the capital city, it is considered a key player in the issue of improved stoves and has won recognition from the members of the Interinstitutional Platform, some governmental entities and private companies. Fundación Vida has experience in the dissemination of fixed improved stoves and in the commercialization of mobile improved stoves. Also, through the PROFOGONES project, F. VIDA has generated information that can be useful, especially as a reference for the National Strategy.For the second semester of 2019, CSOs will maintain the target. They consider that there is already a very good coordination, frequent meetings and information sharing with other platforms and alliances with the public sector. Although they will continue their actions to influence key government entities and their agendas, they are not optimistic about increasing their influence on these actors this year. CSOs expect to maintain the level of coordination and influence on the public sector agendas given the joint work that implies the participative design of the National Strategy ENAEM.27-04-2020: The target for this indicator is 2. CSOs assessment of their degree of influence on the public sector agenda applying the evaluation rubric gave a score of 3 which is the maximum rating defined in the rubric of evaluation. CSOs consider that they have increased their degree of influence since they have frequent contact with government agencies, have opportunities to express the interests of CSOs and they have put the programmatic actions of V4CP in government agencies agenda. Events and actions have been carried out jointly with the National Directorate of Climate Change (DNCC) and the Forest Conservation Institute (ICF). An important achievement is that the DNCC included in its 2019 Operative Plan the development of the ENAEM, so they have been supporting the process and have expressed interest in continuing in 2020. The Energy (SEN) and Health (SESAL) Secretariats has accompanied the ENAEM process and actively participate in the Interinstitutional Platform. Similarly, the SEN expressed its interest in supporting the “sale tax exemption on improved stoves and/or its parts” initiative. CSOs do not have evidence that they have influenced other government entities ‘plans and agendas to include their topics of interest, but the case of the DNCC. However, there is expressed interest of Secretariats to participate in the Interinstitutional Platform and in accompanying, supporting the processes, including the participatory design of the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves (ENAEM), until its approval. It can be said, that with all the actions V4CP developed, CSOs increased the interest and commitment to participate in the construction of the National Strategy for the adoption of improved stoves, and to put the issue on the agenda of governmental institutions directly linked and relevant for improved stoves and renewable energy in general.CSOs will maintain the highest target (3) for the period. CSOs will continue their actions to influence government entities such as the Development and Social Inclusion Secretariat (SEDIS - in charge of the Better Life program), Energy (SEN) and Health (SESAL) Secretariats and The ICF to support the Secretariat of Environment/DNCC in the development and approval of the National Strategy since they are all part of the Council of Ministers that approves executive decrees in the country. In the same way, it is expected to keep the high degree of coordination and joint work that is required to complete the ENAEM and advocate for its approval. To continue the implementation of the communication strategy is key to achieve the goal.02-11-2020: The CSOs applied the evaluation rubric to measure their degree of influence on the agendas with the public sector and by consensus they maintain their score of 3, which is the maximum score, defined in the evaluation rubric. CSOs have frequent contacts with the Energy Secretariat, the National Directorate of Climate Change, Environment Secretariat, Health Secretariat, the Forest Conservation Institute, among other government institutions; which are active members of the Platform. CSOs explain their interests and introduce in the agendas the V4CP actions. As result of the advocacy actions carried out, the ENAEM was completed with the active participation of the government sector, and the political will of the Environment Secretariat to present the National Strategy ENAEM for approval to the Interinstitutional Committee for Climate Change (CICC). The Committee is a permanent body that supports the management and in which governmental and non-governmental institutions, organized civil society and academia are represented. With this action, it is expected that important agreements will be reached for its approval. The Energy Secretariat is supporting the preparation of the draft law document for the request of tax exemption for the production and commercialization of Improved Stoves and their parts. CSOs are part of the Ad hoc committee established to lead the advocacy actions. National Directorate of Climate Change (NDCC)/MiAmbiente) invited members of the Interinstitutional Platform to be part of the support group for the construction of the Concept Note of the NAMA (National Adaptation and Mitigation Measures) of stoves improved, financed by IDB.An analysis was carried out jointly with the CSOs on their degree of influence in the establishment of the agenda using the rubric of evaluation and it was concluded that only in the case of Fundación Vida has had occasional contacts with the NAMA National Table and the HOS by Fundación Vida, however, it has not been possible to establish the agenda on ecostoves. Each organization gave its score on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score and considered that its influence level is 0.It is expected that by 2017 there will be greater communication and meetings with key stakeholders: political parties, government, private sector and other platforms and alliances. Target set for the second semester of 201720-04-2018: Measurement of the level of influence of CSOs on the agendas of NAMA National Committee of Efficient Stoves, the Honduran Organization for Norms HOS, Zamorano – EEC, UNAH or other coordination platforms and alliances with the public and private sectors related to clean cook stoves was set for the second semester 2017. So far, CSOs have no influence in the governmental agenda for the NAMA design. SNV was invited to review and provide feedback on studios made by international institutions as base information required to design the NAMA. CSOs have more meetings and influence on the inter institutional platform to support the development of the clean cook stove value chain. CSOs have less meetings and influence on other networks, private sector and the government. At global level there is an initiative for an international normative ISO 285 for clean cook stoves. Members of the inter institutional platform were invited to send comments through ENDEV. On the other hand, the Honduran Organization for Norms HOS will review and prepare the official comments on the initiative based on the inputs provided by the members of the consent group formed by the HOS.CSOs are confident that the events programmed for the second semester of 2017 will contribute to increase the communication with key actors but they are not optimistic about increasing their influence on key actor’s agendas in the short run. Still, CSO`s have moderate expectations to influence new political candidates to take in account the evidence generated by V4CP in the Measurement of perception of population from selected communities on quality of and access to FNS and RE- clean cook stove services. The results of this research will be presented in a workshop to CSO in August and to political candidates in the last quarter of 2017.20-04-2018: "The measurement of the degree of influence in setting the agenda with the private sector was established and it was concluded that it is 0 (both organizations gave an assessment of 0) since only occasional contacts are made with some companies that are related to the work of the organizations: AHDESA and Ecofogón de Honduras. The effort of the CSOs was concentrated in other links of the chain, especially in the strengthening of relationships within the framework of the platform and not with the private sector. There are few private sector actors in this topic. Some of them have regular contact or business relations for other initiatives. I In the second semester of 2017 contacts with the private sector started in the framework of the program. Some producers of clean stoves in El Salvador were identified and contact established. As one result of these contacts a learning tour to El Salvador took place in December 2017 with the purpose of knowing experiences in the creation and evolution of improved stoves and their regulatory framework. Support organizations that intervened or intervene in the development of this value chain. Role of the central government and local or regional governments. Places visited: San Salvador, Sonsonate know Experience Industrias FALCOM, Santa Tecla Experience Fundación Enrique Figueroa. Meetings were also held with technicians from the National Energy Center Participated in the tour: Secretaries of State (SAG, ICF, MiAmbiente), ...By mid-2018 no significant changes are expected or the level of contact with private companies be increased. The spaces to hold bilateral meetings with (FUNDER, AHDESA, FUNDESUR, FUNDEIH, Ecofogon Honduras) will be sought with the purpose of presenting the program and advocate so that they form part of the Platform, seeking joint actions and a greater relationship.15-11-2018: Applying the evaluation rubric, a joint analysis was carried out with the CSOs on their degree of influence in the establishment of the agenda of other platforms and alliances with the private sector. The target set for the period was 0 and the achieved score is 1. Relevant actors of the private sector know the program and its impacts. Mirador Project, ADEHSA, Ecofogón de Honduras and Envirofit participated in the interviews and in the validation of the studies and that allowed to have frequent contacts with these actors. A CSO had the opportunity to explain the interests of the program, but not to all the actors. One CSO commented that it has occasional contacts with the private sector, communications are sporadic and these actors participate in some moments that they consider appropriate for their own interests and to get informed on what HdH is doing. In the meetings just their technical personnel participated not the decision makers so there is the risk that they are not informed on what was discussed in the events.CSOs are confident that the events scheduled for the second half of 2018 will help to increase communication with key stakeholders, but are not optimistic about increasing their influence on private sector agendas in the short term. No significant changes are expected in the level of contact with private companies. The spaces will be sought to hold bilateral meetings with (FUNDER, AHDESA, FUNDESUR, FUNDEIH, Ecofogon Honduras) to advocate for their participation in the Platform.07-10-2019: The evaluation rubric was applied to analyse with the CSOs and determine their degree of influence in setting the agenda of other platforms and alliances with the private sector. The objective established for the period was 1 and the score determined by CSOs is 1. There have been frequent communications with some companies that have participated in the meetings of the platform and supported the collection of information from some studies and have shared information on the subject such as: Ecofogón de Honduras, AHDESA, Mirador Project, Hojalatría Valle participated in meetings and learning tours. Envirofit has also participated in the meetings of the platform. CSOs consider that there is a strong work to be done with the private sector although they have participated, they do not consider that they have influenced their agendas; some actors participate in some moments that they consider appropriate for their own interests and to be informed.CSOs are confident that events scheduled for the first half of 2019 will help increase communication with key stakeholders, but are not optimistic about increasing their influence on private sector agendas in the short term. No significant changes are expected in the level of contact with private companies. The spaces will continue to be sought and it is expected to continue advocating and hold bilateral meetings with manufacturers and suppliers of improved stoves, Funder, AHDESA, FUNDESUR, FUNDEIH, Ecofogon Honduras to advocate their participation in the Platform and to a greater extent in the construction of the Improved Stoves National Strategy. CSOs considered the private sector is relevant their support for the National Strategy. Involve groups such as the palm oil cooperatives and other companies could invest to provide clean stoves to their farmers as part of their social responsibility strategy. The National Strategy for the adoption of improved stoves will contribute to raise interest in the private sector to provide better products and services.07-10-2019: "A joint analysis was carried out with the CSOs on their degree of influence on the private sector agendas. A target of 1 was projected, however, the application of the evaluation rubric gave a score of 2. CSOs consider that their level of influence has increased. Currently there are frequent contacts related to improved stoves with some private companies. More space for interactions with the private sector are being generated, but CSOs consider that it is difficult to fully involve these actors in the processes and actions that the Interinstitutional Platform is carrying out. It has not been possible to influence their programmatic agendas but they participate and coordinate specific actions with defined plans. CSOs have frequent meetings and stablish commercial relations with private sector companies such as: a) F. VIDA with Ecofogón de Honduras, Ecopán, ENAHSA, FUNADIHS, Proyecto Mirador, Instituto Hondureño del Café-IHCAFE, Fundación para el Desarrollo Rural-FUNDER, Industrias Córdoba, AHDESA. Through its PROFOGONES project, F. VIDA establish purchase / sale contracts with private sector companies to promote technological innovation and scale up the implementation and adoption of improved stoves in the different population groups. b) Hermandad de Honduras with: Honduran Development Association-AHDESA, ECOMAL, Perfection Group, Geo-Platanares and Grupo Jaremar. HdH executes a series of projects for the implementation of improved stoves in the Western zone. It is expected to involve more private sector companies in the Interinstitutional Platform but there are very few private companies that work on improved stoves."CSOs expect that by the end of the year there will be more interrelation and involvement of the private sector in the actions of V4CP and the Interinstitutional Platform to support and participate in the design of the National Strategy and the development of the value chain providing better products and services. However, they do not expect that the plans that include the interests of the CSOs will be elaborated jointly, nor that they may influence their programmatic agendas. Private sector can contribute to the development of the market and value chain by providing good products and services, and facilitating the M&E of installed stoves. Private sector is a relevant actor to be consider in the design of the National Strategy. The Interinstitutional Platform may benefit of attracting and increasing the number of participants form the private sector. . Hermandad de Honduras and Fundación Vida are very active in the improved stove market. F. VIDA jointly with the National University and the support of PROFOGONES Project is developing two new designs of improved stoves. Hermandad de Honduras is designing its marketing strategy with support of V4CP and PROCAMBIO Project. In August 22, both partner CSOs with support of V4CP will have a talk with agroforestry cooperatives to present the main findings of the Feasibility Study on Provision and Marketing of firewood prototypes as a source of renewable energy for improved stoves. The objective is to motivate them to adopt and offer the firewood prototypes designed for improved stoves to have an alternative to the illegal market of firewood.27-04-2020: The goal for this indicator is 2. Applying the evaluation rubric jointly the CSOs gave a score of 2, given that the CSOs consider that they have not been able to place in their programmatic agendas, nor is there a commitment to promote the National Strategy - ENAEM, nor the actions carried out under the program. Despite this, private sector companies related to the issue of improved stoves participate in the meetings of the Platform, have frequent communications. More interaction spaces are being generated, but it has not been easy to fully involve them in the processes and actions that CSOs are carrying out.A goal for this indicator will not be set. CSOs will focus their efforts on long-term results. CSOs consider that the goal should be kept at 2 since they do not consider it easy to influence the programmatic agendas of the private sector. But, it is expected that through the programmed actions, their level of coordination, collaboration, greater interaction, and better involvement to the actions programmed by CSOs within the framework of the V4CP program will be maintained.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests A joint analysis with the CSOs on their degree of coordination and collaboration was carried out using the evaluation rubric and it was concluded that they have only had occasional meetings at the NAMA Coordinating Table of Efficient Stoves on April 26, 30 June 2016 and September 1, in which 1 CSO participated and several actors were present; other CSO has not participated in any meeting. Each organization scored on the rubric of evaluation, agreed on the score and considered that their level of coordination and collaboration is 0 with the government, private sector, universities and other platforms. Despite the above, it should be noted that the CSOs through the program have strengthened their institutional ties and are working in a coordinated and concerted manner. They share their work experiences. It should be noted that the National Table of Efficient Stoves is in the process of forming. It is expected that by 2017, meetings and frequent communications with other actors: government, the private sector or other platforms and alliances can be held. Target set for the second semester of 2017 10-01-2018: Measurement of the level of coordination and collaboration was set for the second semester 2017 but it is important to mention that partner CSOs have not had frequent meetings with governmental representatives but punctual meetings with the minister of MiAmbiente, vice minister of energy, director of climate change national office, presidential designated for climate change. More effort will be done to strengthen the relationship with these important actors. CSOs have little contact with the private sector and more communication and meetings with municipal authorities in their area of influence, as well as with members of the inter institutional platform to support the development of the clean cook stove value chain: Universities (national university UNAH, Zamorano, UNITEC), Fundación Vida, Hermandad de Honduras, program for energy access - GIZ (ENDEV/GIZ), and SNV. The launch of the OHN 97001: 2017 normative “Improved cook stoves- requirements and test methods for classification and categorization” is a very important step in the value chain. In the event participated relevant actors of different sectors: government, civil society, international agencies, producers, users, and others. In the event also participated Hermandad de Honduras, Fundacion Vida, and SNV. Fundacion Vida/Profogones project was an active member of the committees that designed and launch the normative. For the second semester 2017,meetings and frequent communication with other actors will take place (private sector, platform, and networks)15-11-2018: An analysis was carried out with the two CSOs to assess the degree of coordination and collaboration. The average was 1.5, of a target of 1. Target is overcomed in view of frequent communications and meetings that opened the space a little bit more. Relevant information was generated, analyzed and shared with some key actors. Some remarks about the different groups of actors: 1) Private sector: HDH has occasional encounters with AHDESA and Eco-stove of Honduras at institutional level and related to improved stoves promoted by HdH and other initiatives.  In the case of FV in the framework of Profogones, it has strategic partners, certifies that the units implemented by partners meet the regulations. AHDESA and Proyecto Mirador are part of its partners and with them has sporadic relationships. 2) Public sector: HDH has a strong relationship with municipalities and commonwealths in the West area. HDH gets contributions to complement projects. HDH is opening these spaces to get the support and join efforts with these actors toward the actions of the program. Space is also being opened with the Territorial Action group formed by the Central American Strategy for Territorial Development, which is linked to municipality, CSOs and private entities. There are frequent communications and meetings with them. In the case of FV, it has sporadic communication and meetings with the Municipality of Comayagua. Because of the V4CP it has strenghten the relationship with sector authorities such as MiAmbiente, ICF, and other that participate in  the interinstitutional platform for improved stoves. There are frequent communications and meetings that contribute to open spaces a little bit more. In turn, relevant data related to the topic of improved stoves is shared, due to the issue of the NAMA that they are promoting. Some exchange of communications and a meeting took place with the presidential office Clima Plus but not further developments even though the leader was ...It is not expected that for the first semester the level of coordination can be increased if the level of participation, due to the change of government, should begin with a lobbying process and influence the new authorities that have been assigned to government bodies and achieve their interest, although due to the political situation of the country is not considered that we can have much progress with these actors so the goal will remain at 1.5. It is expected to strengthen relations with the Interinstitutional Platform and influence other relevant institutions, so that they can join the Platform.15-11-2018: A joint analysis was carried out with the CSOs on their degree of coordination and collaboration using the rubric of evaluation (the same rubric of evaluation is applied to the Platform, public sector, and private sector to get the average of the three) and the average achieved is 2 while the target set by the CSOs was 1.5. This represents a moderate increase in coordination and collaboration with the Interinstitutional Platform and with some institutions of the Public Sector, however, there is still much work to do with the private sector. The relationship that CSOs have with this sector is specifically geared to projects that CSOs execute. Some observations about the different groups of actors: 1) Interinstitutional Platform: Relationships with the Interinstitutional Platform have been strengthened and there is interest of other actors to join the platform. They participated in events developed to socialize the studies done by the V4CP. Both CSOs agree that they have meetings and frequent communications with the members of the Platform, spaces for participation are created, they have shared relevant data base on V4CP studies, there is higher empowerment because there is more involvement and support to the events of validation. In general, there is a fluid and permanent communication with the members of the platform. 2) Public sector: CSOs have meetings and frequent communication with municipalities, commonwealths (Manvasen, Mercedes, San Marcos and San Francisco, Guisayote, La Labor, Dolores Merendon, Fraternidad, Lucerna and Sensenti- Ocotepeque, Mancosol, Cololaca, Guarita, San Juan Guarita, Tambla and Valladolid-Lempira), Inter-institutional Regional Climate Change Table, Territorial Table on Climate Change and Risk Management Sensenti Valley. HdH is currently a member of the FNS Table and Social Protection Commonwealth MANCOSOL. It was directly invited to participate in it. 3) Private sector: Scarce relationships of CSOs with the private sec ...For the second semester it is expected to strengthen the relationships with the Interinstitutional Platform and influence other relevant institutions to join the Platform. CSOs will look for spaces to generate alliances and coalitions with relevant actors (CSOs, academic sector, private sector, research institutes, international cooperation), to support of the National Strategy proposal at different levels. CSOs will continue with the validation and socialization of the studies generated by V4CP and discuss key information with relevant stakeholders. Advocacy processes will be sought to rise interest and influence new authorities, although not much progress is expected with these actors due to the political situation in the country, so the target will remain in 2.07-10-2019: A joint analysis was carried out with the CSOs to determine their degree of coordination and collaboration with the interinstitutional platform, the private sector and the public sector through the rubric of evaluation. Both CSOs gave a score of 3, and the set target for the period was 2. CSOs consider that they have frequent meetings and communications with these actors, spaces for participation, information and relevant data have been discussed and analysed. This represents a moderate increase in the coordination and collaboration with the Interinstitutional Platform and with some public sector institutions. However, they consider that the platform needs to harmonize advocacy actions to influence and have a more fluid communication with the Ministers of MiAmbiente, Institute of Forest Conservation (ICF) and Climate Plus (Clima Plus has recently join the platform and it is beginning to get involved in the platform actions). Some observations about the different groups of actors are mentioned: 1) Inter-institutional platform: Spaces have been generated, meetings have been promoted, and information has been shared and validated. There is a Route Map that guide the actions of the platform to reach the Development of the National Strategy. The Route Map is a product of a participatory process lead by our partner CSO Hermandad de Honduras, even though the platform was created mainly to exchange information and learning. There is a discrepancy between Clima Plus with MiAmbiente and ICF, as has been seen in some events of the platform especially those in which role of actors have been discussed. The platform is an inter-institutional space because it has the participation of different sectors: academia, international cooperation, CSOs, private sector and public sector. In 2018 the participation of the public sector grow significantly. The CSOs gave a score of 3 to the degree of coordination and collaboration with the Inter-institutional platform. 2) Publi ...For the first semester, it is expected to strengthen relations with the Interinstitutional Platform and to influence other relevant institutions so that they can participate in it, and it is expected to formalize and establish its structure and how it can be sustainable once the program ends. It is expected to influence decision-makers, ministers, deputies so that they can support the National Strategy proposal at the different levels. CSO will continue with the validation and socialization of the studies generated by V4CP and discuss key information with relevant stakeholders. Advocacy processes to increase the interest and influence new authorities. The target will remain at 3. It has not been possible to achieve the improved stoves plans of the governmental entities and the private sector could be elaborated jointly or with the participation of the CSOs and / or with members of the interinstitutional platform for the value chain of improved stoves. CSOs consider that greater lobbying at the management and managerial level of the various actors is needed in an orderly and planned manner. ICF and MiAmbiente are actors that must be maintained and influence at the highest level. MiAmbiente is the focal point for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.07-10-2019: "The degree of coordination and collaboration of the CSOs with the members of the Interinstitutional Platform, public and private sector was analysed jointly with the CSOs applying the evaluation rubric and a score of 3 was given, which is the same as the target. The CSOs commented that they have frequent contact with the members of the Interinstitutional Platform. CSOs and SNV call for meetings, workshops and other actions of the Interinstitutional Platform and their level of influence is clearly seen in the regular participation of the different actors they achieve. CSOs create opportunities for participation of public and private sector; information related to improved stoves is shared and discussed jointly. A series of studies have been developed, disseminated and analysed. Participants have the opportunity to share relevant data and discuss it, and also the opportunity to present their viewpoints and influence what V4CP program hopes to achieve, such as the participative design and approval of the National Strategy for the Adoption of improved stoves in Honduras that will provide an enabling environment for the development of the market of improved stoves with budgetary allocation, inclusive businesses, greater investments for the development and innovation of improved stoves, their parts and services. So far, all Interinstitutional Platform participants have shown interest and support. Advocacy must continue so that plans that include the interests of CSOs are elaborated jointly and placed in the programmatic agendas of the Interinstitutional Platform, public and private sector. "For the second semester of 2019, CSOs will maintain the target. CSOs will focus on the participative design of the National Strategy for the Adoption of improved stoves ENAEM. They will continue their advocacy actions for the approval of the ENAEM, the validation and socialization of the studies generated by V4CP and discussion of key information with relevant stakeholders.27-04-2020: The target for this indicator was 3. CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and their joint weighting is 3 given that: The CSO has frequent meetings and communications with the Interinstitutional Platform, public and private sector. CSOs participate in different actions related to improved stoves. Information on the subject has been analyzed, discussed and exchanged. CSOs lead the process of building the National Strategy - ENAEM and got the involvement of key actors in participating in the survey and providing, reviewing, discussing and analyzing information. They have worked in coordination with different actors to socialize V4CP knowledge products, in turn, they were invited to participate in Climate Change Expo Talk, in the first Biomass Forum and in the meetings of the NAMA of efficient stoves. However, it has not been possible to jointly build action plans that include the interests of the CSO and that are inserted in the public and private sector program plans. Only in the case of the DNCC there is evidence of the incorporation of topic of interest for the CSOs such as the ENAEM in its institutional action plan.CSOs will keep the target of 3 for this indicator, so the result of 2019 will remain at 3, as efforts will focus on long-term results. However, CSOs expect to keep the coordination and jointly work with the Interinstitutional Platform, the public sector and the private sector in the actions to be implemented in this period such as: • Strengthen (institutionalization) the interinstitutional platform: • Complete the National strategy for the adoption of improved stoves (ENAEM) • Advocate for the approval of the national strategy ENAEM and influence the design of the action plan for the implementation of the ENAEM • Develop Regional events to present the ENAEM to local authorities and other relevant actors • Implement the communication strategy to disseminate evidences, sensitize main actors, general public to promote the adoption of improved stoves Advocacy will focus on the following Secretariats: Development and social inclusion SEDIS, Health SESAL, and Energy SEN. Also on the Forestry Conservancy Institute ICF, the Association of municipalities AMHON to provide support to the Environment Secretariat MiAmbiente for the approval of the ENAEM. CSOs expect the State Secretariats to have a clear role in the implementation of the ENAEM, roles clearly defined in the implementation plans of the ENAEM. However, not major changes are expected in 2020, for being the last year of V4CP and also the starting of the political campaign in the country. To raise the political will for commitments time, effort, perseverance and other resources are needed.02-11-2020: The target for this indicator is 3 and CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and jointly gave a score of 4. CSOs have frequent meetings and communications with members of the Interinstitutional Platform, public and private sectors, academia, civil society, international cooperation and NGOs. In addition, CSOs have created spaces for participation at the level of organizations and institutions that work on the issue of improved stoves. Relevant information related to improved stoves is shared and discussed in different spaces. Coordinated work has been carried out by V4CP partner CSOs with the National Directorate of Climate Change (NDCC/MiAmbiente) and its Interinstitutional Technical Committee on Climate Change and the National Mitigation Committee of Honduras to join efforts for the official presentation of the ENAEM proposal. A communication campaign is being implemented to disseminate the ENAEM and advocate for its approval. Representatives of Environment, Health, and Energy Secretariats expressed their support to the ENAEM and to the advocacy campaign to get the approval of the ENAEM by the Interinstitutional Committee for Climate Change (ICCC). Currently, the Internal Structure of the Interinstitutional Platform is being strengthened. A series of workshops were facilitated with participants from the IP and other key actors for the collection of information and construction of the proposal of Internal Regulations, Letter of Agreement and the Work Plan for the 2020 to 2021. CSOs, the private sector, government entities, academia, international organizations and independent specialists are participating in the process and identifying activities from their own operational plans that can be linked to the actions that have been proposed in the IP Work Plan. There is evidence that the Energy Secretariat, through the Biomass department, included within its 2020 Annual Operational Plan activities such as: a) coordinate and monitor activities defined by t ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsAn analysis was conducted jointly with CSOs and and it was analysed how accountability mechanisms are perceived and it was concluded that CSOs have not been provided with official information on decisions taken in the form of accountability, nor they are reported on the government policies, companies and the platforms related to the theme of RE-Ecostoves. In Honduras, the demands of citizens or organizations are not answered, there is no transparency of decision-making, there is no political will or a mechanism that forces government and companies to justify their decisions and actions, the voice of CSOs is not as heard, although there are positive examples of advocacy work and achievements obtained through it. Each organization gave its score on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score and considered it to be 0.There are no action in 2017 related to improvement of the accountability mechanisms and so no expected progress on it in 2017 20-04-2018: "An analysis was conducted with CSOs to assess the degree to which progress has been made with accountability mechanisms and the score is 0. There are no actions in the 2017 plan that contribute to this indicator. CSOs do not get information about the decisions made or the decision-making processes, policies or other relevant issues of the NDCC / MiAmbiente. The communication is mainly done in the interinstitutional platform, there is no direct communication with CSOs. There are few institutions and organizations that provide information, and their accountability is almost none. The information is provided in some cases when requested, there are no accountability portals and the information is not disaggregated. The government does not have a specific portal for each Secretary or Program that is available, the little information available is very general information. There are no spaces for social oversight. Just a few dare to ask for information because there is a lack of knowledge of the mechanisms to access it (to whom to go and how to request information)."There are no actions in 2018 related to the improvement of accountability mechanisms, so no progress is expected in this year.07-10-2019: No advocate actions on this indicator were planed for 2018, therefore the established target is 0. Applying the evaluation rubric the CSOs gave an average score of 1 since they consider that there have been small progress on it. As an example, General Director of the National Directorate of Climate Change/Mi Ambiente shared information on processes related to improved stoves and the NAMA. They are reporting and sharing information, but these actions are very incipient. There are no report on decisions or decision-making processes related to the RE issue. In Honduras, one of the difficulties in this area is that there is no information available, there is no transparency in decision making, there is no political will or mechanism that oblige the government, institutions and companies to justify their decisions and actions. Internally, the accountability of CSOs is differentiated since some make periodic reports to contributing entities, perform internal and external audits, present reports to the Board of Directors and Assembly, report to the Directorate of Registration and Follow-up to Associations Civil (DIRSAC), Revenue Management Service (SAR). CSOs are also unaware of the mechanisms of accountability that My Environment has, despite everything; There has been some progress and it is that a greater alliance with this government entity is being generated, it is a strong and relevant actor that has the program. Relations are improving, so it is considered that improving them with an institution can induce other institutions for the credibility that can be had on the subject.A target of 0 is set for 2019 since there are no actions identified for 2019 related to the improvement of accountability mechanisms.27-04-2020: No target had been defined for this indicator. CSOs gave a jointly score of 1, applying the rubric of evaluation. CSOs consider that they don`t get information on decisions, decision-making processes, or the policies of the DNCC/MiAmbiente, as is indicated in the evaluation rubric. However, in 2019 the DNCC incorporated the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves ENAEM in its Annual Operational Plan. The DNCC is committed to keep the support to the ENAEM in 2020. On the other hand, Mi Ambiente/DNCC started the process of “Preparation of a National Appropriate Mitigation Action-NAMA” based on efficient stoves. Both instruments are complementary and both aim to improve the quality of life of Honduran families who live in poverty and cook with open fire stoves. The DNCC requested the V4CP Program with the support of the SNV and the Interinstitutional Platform to review the proposal or document of Technical Cooperation with IDB for the preparation of the NAMA where the observations and recommendations were given, and included in the document. As a result, the DNCC named the Interinstitutional Platform as the governance mechanism that the project will use to present, discuss and agree on any decision related to the concept note of the NAMA allowing with this the participation of a broader group of actors in the process. Likewise, the inclusion of the Presidential Office for Climate Change (Clima Plus) in coordination and consultation processes will be promoted through the Interinstitutional Platform. On the other hand, IDB Representative affirmed in a meeting the relevance of the adjustments proposed by the DNCC with the support of the Interinstitutional Platform. The adjustments rescue the current context on improved stoves in the country; elements that were not present at the time the documents were prepared by the IDB. The adjustments were accepted.The target remains at 1, CSOs have no identified actions to develop in this year, since the program is in its final phase. Given that the National Strategy is still in its construction phase, it is likely that it will be re-incorporated into the DNCC 2020 OAP (POA).02-11-2020: The target for this indicator is 1, the CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and jointly maintain their score of 2. CSOs do not have identified actions to implement this year, nor is there an opportunity to open spaces on this issue in 2020. The program is in its final phase and focus the effort on long-term results. Despite this, V4CP partner CSOs work jointly with the Interinstitutional Platform and the National Directorate of Climate Change to promote the approval and implementation of the ENAEM.confidentialconfidential27-03-2018: confidentialconfidential07-10-2019: In 2018, the target of 1 set for this indicator was achieved. General Director of the National Directorate of Climate Change/MiAmbiente is identified as a person who has demonstrated support to V4CP initiatives, especially at the end of 2018. The CSOs valued this actor as a supportive actor since: he facilitated processes, helped to open doors in other governmental entities and other areas of MiAmbiente. He reacted and accompanied when he had been asked for support. He has shown support because he talks about the subject and has been encouraging and supporting the theme. He has defended and recognized to others the work that is being done by V4CP, especially in the Inter-institutional Platform. He has relied on the platform to analyse reports related to the governmental NAMA done by international organizations, and has also relied on the information generated by V4CP. He supported the platform initiative and registered in the NAMA Facility the profile of the National Strategy for Efficient Stoves. He made phone calls to reach other stakeholders and has expressed interest in the national strategy through emails and talks. There are exchanges of information because he trust the professionalism of the actors involved. He has also informed the Minister about the actions of the platform and the V4CP program. He is an influential person because he has a domain or thematic management related to the topic of improved stoves, he is a member of a key committee/work group, and has a relevant position in the structure.confidential27-04-2020: The target for this indicator is 1. CSOs identified and evaluated 3 influential actors who have supported the actions of the program: Director of the National Directorate of Climate Change/My Environment, Director of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency/Energy Secretariat (SEN), Coordinator of the Risk Management area/Health Secretariat. The evaluation conducted by CSOs applying the Policy Creation Qualification Tool have the following results: Person 1 the CSOs consider that he is a supportive person who is interested in continue the promotion of the ENAEM and its connection with the NAMA of Efficient Stoves. He requested information on the ENAEM progress to be able to share it at the UN Conference on Climate Change, COP25 held in Madrid in the month of December 2019. He is an influential person. Learnt about the subject, has accompanied the actions of the program and has participated actively in the Interinstitutional Platform and accompanied from the beginning the construction of the ENAEM. He has been valued as a reliable person since his career is known, he has maintained a high level of communication and cooperation with the V4CP program. Person 2 is evaluated as a person not very supportive. Only in the meetings of the Interinstitutional Platform has expressed the interest of the to support and promote the ENAEM. However, she has not assumed a formal commitment to lead or accompany the approval process. Is considered part of the Platform and with the interest of continuing to promote the ENAEM, they have invited the Platform to be part of thematic discussions and has opened up that the positioning of the Platform regarding the Roadmap prepared by SICA is presented; The information was received, but the decisions taken by the Secretariat regarding this topic has not been communicated officially. V4CP had access to a new version of the draft document and it shows that the main part of the statement was included that is the part related to pr ...The advocacy efforts will focus on the Government Secretariats such as Development and Social Inclusion (SEDIS), Energy (SEN), and Health (SESAL) and the Forest Conservation Institute to support the Secretariat of My Environment in the development and approval of the National Strategy. It is expected that despite the constant turnover of personnel that are frequent in the state authorities, the evaluated actors that have shown interest and have made commitments continue in their functions and continue as allies promoting the approval and implementation of the ENAEM. In addition, it is expected to have a higher level of commitment from private sector actors so that they also promote the development, approval and implementation and sustainability of the ENAEM. Individual meetings (breakfasts, lunches, among others) will be held with relevant decision-making actors, also at meetings of the Platform and other related spaces, to raise awareness among decision makers, the private sector, government sector and universities on approval and implementation of the ENAEM. CSOs will continue the strategy of approaching high level officers of related Secretariats. They set as a target the Ministers of different Secretariat of State as they are part of the Council of Ministers that approves the PCM executive decrees to obtain the approval of the ENAEM and the Sale Tax Exception for improved stoves and their parts.02-11-2020: The target for this indicator is 1, the CSOs identified and evaluated 2 political leaders and/or decision makers who have demonstrated support for the V4CP program and the actions that have been carried out on the issue of improved stoves. The CSOs evaluated NDCC/Mi Ambiente they consider that he is a supportive person. He has participated in different meetings for the National Strategy and expressed that "the construction of the ENAEM is a reflection of the necessary interinstitutional coordination in the country and it will be the umbrella of the NAMA of improved stoves that will fit, complying with the commitments that the country has in the climate agenda. NDCC and MiAmbiente Secretariat join the process of design of the ENAEM and invite each key actor to join the effort and to support the national strategy". He is an extremely influential person and has been evaluated as a trustworthy person since he has clearly shown support for the approval of the ENAEM, agreements have been reached that are fulfilled at predefined times and he has accompanied the process from the beginning. Energy Secretary, evaluated as a supportive person, has assigned a person to follow up on the construction of the ENAEM, she remains informed and willing to support its approval. She reiterates his commitment in events, also communicated it to V4CP program "it is of special satisfaction for the SEN to be part of such relevant initiatives as the Interinstitutional Platform that with the support of the SNV, is developing the concept note of the NAMA and with the support of the V4CP program has managed to culminate the participatory development process of ENAEM" as SEN, we agree on the appreciation of the IP, the exemption of 15% of Sales Tax on improved stoves would expand access and adoption by families , especially of families living in poverty, thereby contributing to the improvement of health, quality of life and family economy. It would also contribute to the fulfilme ..."In meetings held with staff of the Central American Fund for Access to Energy and Poverty Reduction (FOCAEP) and with the ENDEV Central America program, who commented that these local manufacturers and businesses are not certified, most are individual persons, however, they have their respective billing as required by the Income Management Service of Honduras. These small manufacturers have received trainings from their counterparts on quality, preventive measures, and specifications, among others. Within this number there is only one medium-sized company: Eco stove of Honduras part of the NGO AHDESA. The rest (45) are individuals or local enterprises that supply all or part of the ecostoves (tinsmiths, metal sheets. Rocket Ceramic Slab, among others). These are local producers that are not certified yet. As a product of advocacy and others it is expected that they go into a process of certification in the next 3 or 4 years. There is no action in 2017 on the topic of inclusive business and therefore no progress is expected in it in 2017 27-03-2018: "There was no target for this indicator. In meetings held with the staff of the Central American Fund for Access to Energy and Poverty Reduction (FOCAEP) and with the ENDEV Central America program, they commented that the number of 46 individuals or local companies that supply all or part of the stoves such as: sheet metal, Rocket Ceramic Slab, among others, that was presented in the baseline year 2016 remains. Currently, there are no programs, projects or institutions that certify local manufacturers, basically the projects are oriented to training processes."There are no actions for 2018, nor are there currently programs, projects or institutions that certify local manufacturers, it is expected that in the future with the approval of the National Strategy it will be possible to carry it out, that is what the project is aiming for.07-10-2019: No advocate actions on this indicator were planned for 2018, and there is no established target either. On the other hand, there are not currently programs, projects or institutions that certify local manufacturers. It is expected that in the future with the approval of the National Strategy it will be possible to have this service. There is no obligation for manufacturers to be certified so small and large scale companies are not doing so.The target for this indicator will be determined in the first semester of 2019 based on information gattered on what the certification of stoves means and requires. Also information on other countries experience on certification. Number of stoves evaluated by Zamorano, the standards and tests to apply and their costs.27-04-2020: There was no defined target for this indicator. There are currently no programs, projects or institutions that certify local manufacturers. Only the University El Zamorano evaluates the improved stoves in the country, they have an Evaluation Center. An interview was conducted with Director of the Stove Evaluation Center and she told us that the Zamorano has evaluated 7 stoves and 1 gasifier in the period 2018 - 2019. (2018: 2 Profogones Project; 2019: 4 Profogones Project, 1 Ecoestufa is the model (specialized manufacturing), 1 International Development Enterprises (IDE) gasifier. The standards, tests that are applied in the Evaluation Center: What is defined in the OHN 97001: 2017 Standard "Improved Stoves-Requirements and test methods for classification and categorization" is being applied. The water boiling test, fuel consumption, energy transfer, total emissions captured, intra-residential emissions are applied. The safety protocol is applied, the stove is characterized and a report of the results is delivered. The cost of evaluating the stove depends on what the customer requests. As for example, when it is a complete evaluation test when 3 stoves of the same batch are ordered, the water boiling test costs approximately $ 2,000.00. When it is a verification or preliminary test, it costs $ 1,000.00, only one stove is evaluated in both tests, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are measured, intra-household emissions, fuelwood consumption and energy efficiency are quantified. In Latin America there is no place where you can certify improved stoves such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the case of Zamorano and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have laboratories and make evaluations. There are also other institutions in other countries, such as Peru and Bolivia. The Zamorano is not a certification body because they are not accredited under an official accreditation system. To be an accredited body you ...A target for this indicator will not be defined as the CSOs will focus their actions on the last year of the program in completing the National Strategy, its approval and future implementation.02-11-2020: No action was considered for this indicator given that the program is in its final phase and the actions were prioritized to complete the ENAEM and influence its approval, and in the exemption of sales tax on improved stoves and their parts."These manufacturers have agreements with cooperators and organizations that are developing programs and projects on eco stoves themes such as: USAID – Proparque (Pro-park) - FINTRAC, German Development Cooperation (GIZ), Environment and Development Foundation; Who grant funds to organizations such as: Hermandad de Honduras (Honduras Brotherhood), Fundación Prolancho ( Prolancho Foundation), Cooperative de mujeres (Women Cooperative) COOMUL, among others, however, a market for eco stoves has not been developed as such. There are few cases of manufacturers that sell to the general public. It should be noted that the government of Honduras currently has a social program called ""Better Life"" where eco stoves are installed for free and it has agreements with a factory to build them. There is no action in 2017 on the topic of inclusive business and therefore no progress is expected in it in 2017 27-03-2018: "There was no target set for this indicator. Based on the interview to FOCAEP and ENDEV personnel, these manufacturers have agreements with institutions that are developing programs and projects that include improved stoves such as: USAID - Proparque- FINTRAC, German Cooperation for Development (GIZ), Hermandad de Honduras, USAID - GEMA, Honduran Investment Social Fund - FHIS PODER, Sustainable Rural Development Program for the Southern Region - EMPRENDESUR. There is not a developed market for improved stoves. There are few cases of manufacturers that sell improved stoves to the general public. It is unknown how many of the manufacturers have agreements with companies, governments or others."There are no actions for the year 2018, on this indicator.07-10-2019: There is no established target for this indicator. Since there is no a market developed for improved stoves, there are currently few cases of manufacturers that sell improved stoves for the general public. These manufacturers have agreements with institutions that are developing programs and projects that include improved stoves, such as: USAID - Proparque- FINTRAC, German Cooperation for Development (GIZ), Hermandad de Honduras, USAID - GEMA, Honduras Social Investment Fund - FHIS POWER, Sustainable Rural Development Program for the Southern Region - EMPRENDESUR. It is unknown how many of the manufacturers have agreements with companies, governments or others. In spite of this, in the case of Hermandad de Honduras through the actions that are being developed with V4CP, it is promoting inclusive business and has signed in the year 2018, 4 contracts with manufacturers and signed a cooperation agreement with a private company, as it is describe below: 1) Contract for manufacturing services of 22 metal bases for portable containers of improved wood stoves. Contract signed with Welder Jerson Francisco Méndez García, March 2018. 2) Contract for manufacture and assembly of 300 metal sheets. Contract signed with Mr. Roling Adhonhay Fernández, May 2018. 3) Contract for manufacture of 500 combustion chambers. Contract signed with Mr. Jorge Alberto Rivera García, May 2018. 4) Contract for manufacture and assembly of 200 metal plates, 500 chimney sweeps. Contract signed with Mr. Olfino Mancía Sorianin, May 2018. 5) Cooperation agreement for the construction of 60 stoves (model Justa 16x24) for families in Colonia Richard Washburn and Campamento Uluita, from San Alejo, Tela, Atlantida. Agreement signed with private company (Jaremar Group), as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility actions, November 2018.A target of 0 is set for 2019 since there are no actions identified for 2019 that imply an adequate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stove market. On the other hand, it is expected that the promotion of improved stoves through the work of the platform and more cooperation with private sector will lead to more business in terms of more manufacturers or more contracts but it is uncertain the access of the program to this kind of information to measure this progress.27-04-2020: A target of 0 was set for 2019, as the monitoring and measurement of this indicator is beyond the capabilities of CSOs to have access to this kind of information.A target of 0 is set for 2020, as the monitoring and measurement of this indicator is beyond the capabilities of CSOs to have access to this kind of information.02-11-2020: No progress on this indicator is reported in 2020 as the access to the kind of information required to monitor and measure this indicator is beyond the capabilities of CSOs.(annual comparison)Budget allocation for the Development of Renewable Energy in relation to the global Energy budget, Honduras 2015-2017. The budget allocation for the energy sector in 2015 was 2,733.3 million Lempiras, of which 2,311.3 million were allocated to the sub sector renewable energy that represent 84.6% of energy budget. In 2016 the allocation to renewable energy increased to 92.5% percent. It is this figure that represents our baseline. [OLD TEXT: 2015: 1,589,036,315 Lempiras http://www.sefin.gob.hn/wp-content/uploads/Presupuesto/2015/aprobado/principal.html 2016: 1,929,687,526 Lempiras http://www.sefin.gob.hn/wp-content/uploads/Presupuesto/2016/Aprobado/principal.html It should be noted that one of the biggest problems in Honduras is the reliability of the information, these data were taken from the Integrated Financial Management System - SIAFI, these data reflect an increase in the budget of a 21,44% for RE. It was not possible to identify the budget for ecostoves.]There are no activities planned in 2017 for an appropriate budget allocation and therefore no progress is expected in 2017. 05-12-2018: In 2017, allocation increased to 94,1% (2,804,5 million Lempiras) of the total allocation of the energy sector in Honduras. This represents a 1.6% increase from budget allocation to RE in 2016. These data show how the Honduran energy matrix has changed from non-renewable sources to renewable sources. This data was provided by a V4CP external consultant with high experience in the subject. To measure the annual public expenditure on energy (both budgeted, executed or accrued and other related variables) faces many barriers due to the sources of information. For this reason, a proxy variable (public investment for the generation of energy) was used for the construction of the indicators Global Budget and Annual Expenditure of the Energy Sector. This action was necessary given the fact that this data is not available within the national accounting systm. The data presented for this indicator is based on the following variable: Global Budget Of The Energy Sector is the expenditure of the current Budget of Public Investment for the generation of new projects, as well as that related to the maintenance and repair of the existing projects in the energy sector of Honduras.There are no actions for 2018 that imply an appropriate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stoves market, therefore, no goal is defined for this year.07-10-2019: In order to measure the 2017 and 2018 indicators regarding budget allocation and public spending, consultants with well-known experience were hired to collect and analyse the data from governmental sources. There are differences in the values reported in previous years since the analysis was based on just three quarters instead of IV quarters data. In 2018 study, the 2017 data and scores were reviewed to include the whole year data (when the 2017 study was done there was data available just for the first three quarters of the year), hence, in the data presented in the previous reports, values are lower than the current ones. The corrected values are as follow: 2015 ratio of renewable energy to total energy: 84.56% (2,311.35 / 2,733.27 million lempiras); 2016 this ratio increased to 92.50% (3,226.68/3,488.47 million lempiras), equivalent to a difference of 7.94% (increase). 2017 ratio of renewable energy to total energy: 96.23% (4,333.84/4,503.61 million lempiras); 2018 this ratio decreased to 94.15% (3,556.98/3,778.12 million lempiras), which is equivalent to a difference of -2.08% (decrease) The decrease is explained by several large project that were completed, especially referents to hydraulic sources. The values presented are estimations, since there are no official data that make precise reference to budget allocation for these topics.A target of 0 is set for 2019 since there are no actions identified for 2019 that imply an adequate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stove market.27-04-2020: To measure the degree of progress in the indicator, a consultant was hired who has been making these measurements, has collected information and analyzed data from government sources. It is important to clarify that there are differences in the values notified in 2018, since the analysis was based on data from only three quarters instead of IV quarters since they were not available at the time of the report. In the 2019 study, the 2018 data and scores were reviewed to include the information for the whole year, so in the data presented in the previous reports the values are lower than the current ones. The corrected values are as follows: 2018 ratio of renewable energy to total energy: 94.15% (3,556.98/3,778.12 million lempiras), the updated data is 97% (L. 3,510.7/L. 3,607.70 million lempiras) which is equivalent to a difference of 2.85% (increase). For 2019 this proportion decreased by 2% since 95% of the allocation for the energy sector in Honduras corresponded to the renewable energy sub sector, that is, 898.6 of the 946.84 million lempiras allocated for the energy sector, the decrease is propitiated by the significant decrease in the budget allocation for the generation of projects of the National Electric Power Company. In 2018, the allocation increased to 97% (3,510.7 million lempiras) of the total allocation of the energy sector in Honduras of 3,607.7 million lempiras. In terms of year-on-year growth, both the energy sector and the subsector presented decreases in their annual budget allocations of 20% and 19% respectively. These data show how the energy matrix of Honduras has changed from non-renewable sources to renewable sources. These data were provided by an external V4CP consultant with high experience in the subject. To measure the annual public expenditure on energy (both budgeted, executed or accumulated and other related variables) faces many obstacles because many of the data are not clearly published on official platforms. For t ...There are no planned activities in 2020 for an appropriate budget allocation and, therefore, no progress is expected on this indicator.02-11-2020: No progress on this indicator is reported in 2020 as no activities were scheduled for it in year 2020. The ENEM does not have an estimated budget. It is the legal framework, the umbrella for the different public and private initiatives such as the NAMA. It is expected that all these initiatives contributes or are aligned to the ENAEM and feed the ENAEM Fund. For example the NAMA has an estimated budget of Euros 27.9 Millions (13.4 from international funding and 14.5 from national (public and private) fundingEcostoves budget as a percentage of the total budget of the Renewable Energy sectorBudget allocation for the development and use of improved stoves between the years 2015-2017 in relation to the budget of the renewable energy subsector 2015-2017. The budget allocation for the development of the improved stoves project in 2016 was 2.1 million Lempiras, which in relation to that assigned to renewable energy represents only 0.7%. For the purposes of the information presented, the following variable was used: Annual budget for the Development and Use of Improved Stoves = Approved in Force budget. For Annual Expenditure for the Development and Use of Improved Stoves: Accrued budget; data contemplated in the budgetary area of the "Project construction of eco-stoves, with accompaniment and installation of improved stoves, stoves fair", of Public Investment.There are no activities planned in 2017 for an appropriate budget allocation and therefore no progress is expected in 2017. 05-12-2018: For the specific issue of the development and use of improved stoves in Honduras, the disadvantage was that despite the fact that the project started since 2011, with a closing date to 2017 and with a project extension to 2018, there is data just for 2016 of the study period 2015 - 2017. There are no official figures because many projects are managed under the figure of Public Private Partnership (PPP), who are not obliged to present publicly the registration of their operations (this under the protection of the Law of official secrets and classification of the information). On the other hand, the funds are channeled through trusts, in this case the Vida Major presidential program, who is responsible for the development of the project related to the improved stoves in Honduras, manages its funds through the Commission for the promotion of the public-private alliance COALIANZA, so although the totals are known, the breakdowns of these are not always recorded.There are no actions for 2018 that imply an appropriate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stoves market, therefore, no goal is defined for this year.07-10-2019: The official budget allocation for improved stoves is not published, as it is protected under the figure of trust, in which several governmental programs and projects are included. Values reported in previous years were based on the scarce official information consultants had access to. The known information was the government target to deliver 100,000 clean stoves per year. For the 2018 study more information was available such as the average market price for improved stoves (estimated in USD 219), value based on information provided by different actors interviewed in the studies done by the program such as formal or artisanal manufacturers, project technicians, and governmental authorities, among others. For the above, the following values were recalculated based on the assumptions that 100,000 improved stoves will be delivered per year and that the average market price is USD 219: 2015 ratio improved stoves to renewable energy estimated in 21% (483.96 budget approved improved stoves /2,311.35 budget approved renewable energy); 2016: 16% (503.59 / 3,226.68) resulting in a decrease of -5% compared to 2015. 2017: the ratio was 12% (517.97 / 4,333.84) 2018: 15% (527.14/3,556.98) resulting in an increase of 3%, compared to 2017. It is important to record that the above values are own estimations since official figures are unknown Although it was said that the extension of the project would be up to 2018, as indicated by the authorities that run the Better Life Program, the life of it could be extended again, depending on the level of acceptance of the project by its beneficiaries.No target is set for 2019 since there are no actions identified for 2019 that imply an adequate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stove market.27-04-2020: "In order to carry out this analysis, the values of improved stoves delivered, which are published by the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion, are taken as reference; this data was accessed through the transparency portal of this secretariat; we do not have the exact value of the budget allocation for the improved stoves project in Honduras, since these values are not published by official sources, what we have is an estimate based on an average market price of USD 219.00, under the average annual exchange rate. According to the planning of the government project Healthy Housing of the Better Life Program, 100,000 improved stoves would be delivered annually. For 2018, it is estimated that the budget allocated for the development and distribution of improved stoves in Honduras was 527.14 million lempiras, following the basis of the delivery of 100,000 units annually and in 2019 it is 540.49 million lempiras.When compared to the budget allocated for renewable energy sub sector projects, in 2018 the budget allocation for the improved stoves project is equivalent to 15.02% of the total. In 2019 this proportion increased, to 60.15% this figure is significant, given the high decrease in the budget of the renewable energy sub sector for this year that is equivalent to 898.60 a decrease of 390.60%, due to the closure and final stages of the mega projects managed and executed by the ENEE and that the allocation trend for MS is assumed in increases for the assumption of 100,000 units delivered annually and that are affected by the average annual exchange rate, from which this calculation starts."There are no planned activities in 2020 for an appropriate budget allocation and, therefore, no progress is expected on this indicator.02-11-2020: No progress on this indicator is reported in 2020 as no activities were scheduled for it in year 2020.annual comparisonFor the purposes of the information presented, the following variable were used: Annual Expenditure for the generation of renewable energy, the Accrued Budget for Public Investment for the development of renewable energy, referring to the generation of new projects, as well as the expenditure dedicated to maintenance and repair of existing projects in the renewable energy sector of Honduras. The ratio of renewable energy expenditure to total spending in the energy sector was 83% in 2015, and 93% in 2016. [OLD TEXT: It was only possible to determine that in the year 2015 the expenditure in Renewable energy was by the amount of L. 1,743,347,404. Sources: Ministry of Finance SEFIN (316,208.82), National Energy Enterprise, ENEE (25,425,799.43), and National program for Sustainable development PRONADERS (1717,605,395.52).]There is no action in 2017 for an appropriate budget allocation and therefore no progress is expected in 2017. 05-12-2018: Annual expenditure on the development of Renewable Energy in relation to annual energy expenditure, between the years 2015-2017. Annual expenditure on renewable energy, a growing trend is identified, of the 1,754.3 million Lempiras presented in 2015, in the first half of 2017 it reached 1,216,5 million. Although the ratio of renewable energy expenditure to total spending in the energy sector was high in the first two years 83 (2015) and 93% (2016) respectively, in 2017 it was 93,7% which is in line with the growing trend in the budget execution of the renewable energy sector observed in these three years. For the purposes of the information presented, the following variable were used: Annual Expenditure for the generation of renewable energy, the Accrued Budget for Public Investment for the development of renewable energy, referring to the generation of new projects, as well as the expenditure dedicated to maintenance and repair of existing projects in the renewable energy sector of Honduras.There are no actions for 2018 that imply an appropriate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stoves market, therefore, no goal is defined for this year.07-10-2019: In order to measure the 2017 and 2018 indicators regarding budget allocation and public spending, consultants with well-known experience were hired to collect and analyse the data from governmental sources. There are differences in the values reported in previous years since the analysis was based on just three quarters instead of four quarters data. In 2018 study, the 2017 data and scores were reviewed to include the whole year data (when the 2017 study was done there was data available just for the first three quarters of the year), hence, in the data presented in the previous reports, values are lower than the current ones. The corrected values are as follow: 2015: ratio of spending on renewable energy/energy sector 83.08% (1,754.34/2,111.57); 2016: ratio of 93.11% (2,681.20 / 2,879.68), shows an increase of 10.03% compared to 2015. 2017: the ratio of spending on renewable energy/energy sector was 96.04% (3,599.69 / 3,747.96) For 2018, data available was for the first three quarters. In order to establish a comparison, a projection of the values of the fourth quarter was made, based on the average of expenditures of the energy sector and renewable energy observed in the period 2015-2017. For 2018, 94.01% of the expenditures of the energy sector corresponded to renewable energy projects and programs, equivalent to 2,884.44 million lempiras of 3,067.94 for energy sector, which shows a decrease of -2.03 compared to 2017 values. These values could change, if the analysis is done based on the complete 2018 official data, when it is available.No target is set for 2019 since there are no actions identified for 2019 that imply an adequate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stove market.27-04-2020: "There are differences in the values notified in 2018, since the analysis was based on data from only three quarters instead of IV quarters since they were not available at the time of the report. So the 2018 data had a variation such as: The ratio of renewable energy expenditure/energy sector was 94.01% (2,884.44/3,067.94 million lempiras), the updated data is 98% (2,084.80/2,136.64 million lempiras) equivalent to a difference of 3.99% (increase). In 2018, L. 2084.8 million of the executed budget corresponded to renewable type projects, by 2019 it is estimated that L. 26.5 million would have been allocated for energy generation projects based on non-renewable sources, that is, 4% of the executed budget . For 2019 this proportion decreased by 2% since 98% of the budget of the energy sector executed in 2018 was invested in programs and projects of the renewable energy sub sector, 2019 shows a ratio of 96% of renewable energy in the composition of the energy sector ( 554.50/580.10 million lempiras), with which it can be said that annually the investment and reinvestment in the use of renewable resources for the generation of electricity remains at margins above 95% For the purposes of the information presented, the following variables were used: annual expenditure for the generation of renewable energy, the accumulated budget of Public Investment for the development of renewable energies, in reference to the generation of new projects, as well as the expenditure dedicated maintenance and repair of existing projects in the renewable energy sector of Honduras. Until the moment in which the investigation was carried out, the official data available were those of the third quarter of 2019, in order to establish a comparison, a projection of the values of the IV quarter was made, through the average of expenses of the energy and renewable energy sector observed in the 2015-2018 period, the same was done in the previous study."There are no planned activities in 2020 for an appropriate budget allocation and, therefore, no progress is expected on this indicator.02-11-2020: No progress on this indicator is reported in 2020 as no activities were scheduled for it in year 2020.spending on Ecostoves as a percentage of total spending in the Renewable Energy sector With the information provided by the Ministry of Finance, it was not possible to determine the ecostoves budget, it was stated in visits to several institutions that this information is not available. There is no action in 2017 for an appropriate budget allocation and therefore no progress is expected in 2017. 05-12-2018: The increase is unknown. There is no official data for 2017. We know that there are governmental programs to promote clean stoves but these investments are managed as “public – private associations”. Under this legal and financial figure, the government is not required to present to the public the data or the register of its operations. So we do not have access to this informationThere are no actions for 2018 that imply an appropriate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stoves market, therefore, no goal is defined for this year.07-10-2019: As in the case of budget allocation for improved stoves, before middle 2018, there was no completed data for 2017. What was included in previous reports are estimations based on the scarce official information consultants had access to. The reviewed values are as follow: 2015: ratio of spending on improved stoves compared to renewable energy expenditure is 12% (208.1/1,754.34). (Approximately 43,000 stoves were delivered) 2016: ratio of 13% (355.03 / 2,681.20), that is to say 1% increase compared to 2015. (Approximately 70,500 stoves were delivered) 2017: ratio of 9% (310.78 / 3,599.69) (60,002 improved stoves were delivered) 2018: ratio of 5% (137.01 / 2,884.40), That represents 4% less than what was observed in 2017. (25,998 improved stoves were delivered) According to the government's first year report published at the beginning of 2019, in 2018 a total of 25,998 improved stoves were delivered, that is, 34,004, Improved stoves less than in 2017. The expenditure of the government project of improved stoves in 2018, decreased to 137.04 million lempiras. This decrease is due to several factors, including the level of acceptance of improved stoves. In general, the adoption is slow and the attachment to the traditional stove and similar designs is strong in Honduras. On the other hand, although it is not possible to prove that the project has been used for political purposes, the analysis of the 2015-2018 data shows higher level of expenditure on improved stoves, in years of political campaigns, and lower, not even half of what was planned, in years when there is not political campaigns.No target is set for 2019 since there are no actions identified for 2019 that imply an adequate budgetary allocation by the government to promote the development of the improved stove market.27-04-2020: "As in the case of the budget allocation for improved stoves, before mid-2019 there was no complete data for 2018, which generated variations in the data that are detailed below: 2018: proportion of 5% (137.01/2.884.40 and the adjusted value is 6.62% (138.06/2084.80) generating an increase of 1.62%. On the other hand, an adjustment of 25,998 improved stoves reported in 2018 was also made, official figures indicate that 26,190 were delivered, that is 192 more improved stoves reported.The expense of the government project of improved stoves in 2018, decreased to 137.04 million lempiras, the correct data is 138.06. For 2018, annual expenditure on improved stoves corresponded to 6.62% of total renewable energy expenditure, in 2019 this value decreased drastically to 0.15% while L. 138.06 million were executed in the improved stoves project in 2018, in the renewable energy sub-sector the budget execution figure corresponded to L. 2,084 million lempiras. Even with the significant decrease in budget execution in 2019 for renewable energy when establishing the comparison with the IS project, it showed that everything executed for the distribution of improved stoves is only 0.15% of the accrued in renewable energy, since Total IS expenditure was L. 826,956.11 lempiras, contrasted with the estimated 554.5 million executed in the renewable energy sub sector projects. Most of the current programs focus on the installation of improved kitchens, but not on their adoption, which negatively affects the desired changes. In some cases, improved stoves were not used or are used in a low percentage. A study shows that 16% of households surveyed in twelve communities across the country have an additional stove than the traditional one. Similarly, the analysis of the Perception of the degree of quality and accessibility of services 2018 by V4CP reflects that of 106 people surveyed (28 have a stove, 54 have 2 stoves, 23 have 3 stoves and 1 person had 4 stoves in their h ...There are no planned activities in 2020 for an appropriate budget allocation and, therefore, no progress is expected on this indicator.02-11-2020: No progress on this indicator is reported in 2020 as no activities were scheduled for it in year 2020.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. No legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines exists, or existing/new suggested legislative framework is detrimental to issue 1. A new/adjusted legislative framework is considered 2. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been drafted 3. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR framework detrimental to issue has been prevented 4. New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforced"A new Inclusive Strategy for the adoption of ecostoves is being considered. The draft of the Improved Stoves Regulations (first step towards the elaboration of the Strategy) was discussed until page 25 on September 1st at the HOS headquarters with the participation of the consensus group. The evaluation rubric was applied and agreed as 1 as a score. Actors: Public sector: 6 influential decision-makers such as the Standardization Coordinator of the Honduran Organization for Standardization (HOS), Secretary of State in the Natural Resources, Environment, Energy and Mines Offices (MiAmbiente), Director of the Institute of Forest Conservation (ICF), Secretary of State in the Offices of Development and Social Inclusion (SEDIS), Secretary of State in the Office of Health (SESAL), Director of Climate Change in My Environment. Private sector: Mirador Project, Envirofit and local producers. Programs and Projects of international donors and lenders: GiZ, IDB, CIDA, USAID. Universities: National University, Forestry University, Zamorano. Civil society Organizations: Honduran Foundation Environment and Development. (Fundacion Vida), Honduras Brotherhood Hermandad de Honduras (HdH), Honduran Association for the Development of Honduras Asociación hondureña para el desarrollo (AHDESA), Foundation for the Integral Development of Honduras (FUNDEIH) Fundacion para el desarrollo integral de Honduras. The two SCO participating in the program proposed to advocate for a legal and financial framework that facilitate the development of the market and the adoption of ecostoves. The specific elements of this enabling environment to be reflected in the content of the strategy will depend on the results of the consensus process that the 2 CSO will carry on with potential partners and alliances. When the agreements are reached probably new indicators will be added to monitor the content of the national strategy. No major progress is expected in this indicator in 201727-03-2018: "No progress has been made in this indicator, the evaluation rubric was assessed and CSOs maintained their scores resulting in 0.5 rounded to 1 (1 CSO gave a score of 1 and 1 CSO gave a score of 0). The proposal of the program is to elaborate a National Strategy, a proposal of content has been made by a consultant financed from the program, but at the level of the decision makers it has not been presented. It was presented and discussed in the interinstitutional Platform, and some interest has been expressed. One CSO gave a score of one taking in accout that there is a proposal of content discussed at the level of the interinstitutional platform and for the CSO it is a step forward. The other CSO recognized the product and that it raized the interest of the platform but there is no action from the government side to design a national strategy for clean stoves so the score is 0"It is expected for 2018 to present a Proposal of an inclusive strategy for the development of the value chain of improved stoves built with the participation of the members of the platform. A multidisciplinary team will be defined for the formulation of the strategy within the framework of the inter-institutional platform, taking as a basis the previous studies carried out by V4CP, MiAmbiente, ICF and other members of the platform."07-10-2019: An analysis was conducted jointly with the CSOs to define the progress of this indicator using the evaluation rubric. Both CSOs agreed to give a score of 1 while the established target was 2. For 2018, it was expected to have a National Strategy proposal for adoption of improved stoves, built with the participation of the members of the platform. However, this was not possible. Currently, the National Enabling Inclusive Strategy for the adoption of improved stoves in Honduras is being considered. The terms of reference for the recruitment of a multidisciplinary team for the formulation of the strategy within the framework of the inter-institutional platform were drawn up, based on the previous studies carried out by V4CP, MiAmbiente, ICF and other members of the platform. TORs were published and 5 technical and financial proposals were received at the end of January 2019. Agreements were made with MiAmbiente to lead the process of the national strategy design in consensus and with the technical support of the Inter-Institutional Platform. The selection and contracting process will be done the first quarter of 2019. It should be noted that the Government has not planned to draft a Strategy.It is expected that by 2019 the proposal of the National Strategy for the adoption of efficient stoves will be presented to the government, built by a consultant team accompanied by the Inter Institutional Platform.27-04-2020: The target for this indicator was 2, applying the rubric of evaluation the CSOs gave a score of 2 in a consensual way in view of the elaboration of the first draft of the National Strategy for the Adoption of improved stoves, in close coordination with the Interinstitutional Platform and the National Directorate of Climate Change. The initiative was officially launched on October 10, 2019 in the event “Challenges in the Access to Energy Event and its implications for Food and Nutrition Security”, which was attended by representatives of the State Secretariats, the private sector, universities, agroforestry cooperatives, national and international programs related to the subject, among other relevant actors. The University El Zamorano was hired to provide technical support in the design of the National Strategy ENAEM. From the perspective of CSOs, the structure of the government is not clear and incorporates new actors every year as in 2018 created the Energy Secretariat with a mandate to regulate electricity, hydrocarbons and renewable energy. At the end of 2019 started the creation of a new Presidential Office to Manage Green Financing. If approved, it will debilitate even more the fragile structure and governance system, concentrated in the presidential house. These new entities come to add existing institutions such as Mi Ambiente, ICF and Clima Plus with the mandate in the field of renewable energy and support for the development of technologies. This makes coordination of actions more difficult and increases uncertainty about the interests of current authorities.The indicator will remain at 2 given the political context and the instability in the sector structure. However CSOs will concentrate their efforts on advocacy to get strong support for the implementation of the ENAEM. Among the main actions of the CSOs in 2020 are: complete the design of the National Strategy ENAEM, socialization of the ENAEM with different influential actors to get support for its approval. In close coordination with DNCC/. Similar process with the Energy Secretariat for the approval of the sale tax exemption for improved stoves and their parts. Continue the implementation of the communication strategy to disseminate the main components of the National Strategy ENAEM through reflection and/or discussion events, knowledge sharing with key actors at national and regional level. It includes mini-workshops with the Interinstitutional Platform and events with universities and local governments.02-11-2020: The target for this indicator remains at 2, the CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and gave the same score in a consensual manner. Some activities have been modified due to the health emergency related to COVID. However, the main actions of the CSOs in 2020: the National Strategy for the Adoption of Improved Stoves (ENAEM) has been finalized, a series of meetings were held to validate and discuss the relevance of the strategic guidelines of the ENAEM and the structure of the document. Currently, the ENAEM socialization process continues with different actors to influence its approval. An awareness and advocacy campaign is being implemented to promote the adoption of improved stoves, and that the different actors know and support the initiatives proposed by the ENAEM. A series of communication products were developed: 4 radio spots broadcast nationwide through community radio stations and other local radio stations, and they are also being broadcast on different social networks (brochures, posters, posts and bulletins). The political context, instability in the structure of the sector and the COVID 19 context may hamper the approval of the ENAEM. However, CSOs jointly with the Interinstitutional Platform continue their advocacy work for its approval and governmental officers such as Allan Mejía, Technical Coordinator of the NAMAS in MiAmbiente Secretariat highlighted the relevance of ENAEM: "the impacts caused by the COVID 19 pandemic are not limited to the effect on the health of the population, but have also negative implications on the economy and productivity of different sectors which increases the vulnerability of the population, and the dependence of the rural and peri-urban population on firewood as a source of energy for cooking their food. This highlights the validity of the ENAEM and the need to implement the measures it proposes" Jorge Chi Ham, Biomass Specialist of the Energy Secretariat commented: "The adoption of improved stoves will ...With the purpose of being able to determine the improvement in the quality of the services in RE, a participatory Methodology for the survey was prepared and 6 focus groups were realized in some areas of the country with people of the communities, 116 women and 18 men participated. On a scale of zero to twenty-four points this indicator was fixed on average by 12.9 points, that is to say an indicator of 54% of satisfaction with the service, according to the category score. The report of each focal group and final report is still in process.There is no certainty that the target established in 2017 has increased so this same score is reflected for 2018. Given the current situation the country is facing due to the dark process of the president re-election, improvement in the quality of RE services is not expected. there may be a lot of disagreements in local communities about the current situation in the country.07-10-2019: No significant changes were expected in this indicator, so the established target of 11.4 was maintained in the baseline. To measure the perception of people on quality of the services in improved stoves, the participatory methodology used for the baseline was adjusted and an intermediate measurement was made. The intermediate measurement was done in the same 5 districts, as in the baseline, including 6 municipalities in total and neighbors of 28 different communities, compared to the 30 communities of the baseline. The call gathered 106 people instead of the 121 that participated in the baseline (86 women-81% and 20 men-19%), that represents 88% of the sample of the baseline. Five categories were used to evaluate the perception on quality of the services: Relevance, Efficiency, Efficacy, Impact and Sustainability. For the intermediate measurement, the Service Quality indicator maintained the perception of a "deficient" level, reaching an average of 9.7 points, equivalent to a degree of satisfaction of 41%, which is lower than the score recorded during the baseline (11.4 points, 47%). Although the population recognizes the impact that the eco-stove Envirofit has on their homes -the only category that increased its level and ranked in the top third of the scores-, the level of relevance decreased markedly, the service is still considered as " deficient "(less than 50% satisfaction). In general, the evaluation shows that the low satisfaction of the service is based on low efficiency and low sustainability. They are perceived as having a low level of functionality and a short lifespan, given that it was the category with the lowest score. The perception of the services relevance is reduced considerably that is, the perception of being necessary and demanded services by the population. One possible explanation for this could be the fact that, on average, those consulted have had little more than two years the eco-friendly stoves, which means that when t ...There is no certainty that the target set for previous years have been achieved so the same target will be set for 2020. The main action planned for 2020 is the “Perception measurement on the degree of accessibility and quality of RE-IS services provided by the government”. This final study will be facilitated by the same expert that facilitated the base line and intermediate measurements. V4CP/SNV team and partner CSOs play an important role in these studies02-11-2020: A target had not been defined for this indicator, so it is unknown to date if there is any improvement in the quality of the services provided by the government in the area of improved stoves. CSOs were trained for the field survey, interpretation and dissemination of data of the final measurement. However, the field work was postponed due to absolute curfew set by the Government of Honduras since March 16 up to date for Covid pandemic. The absolute curfew is maintained throughout the Honduran territory until August 23. It is expected to start the survey in September, this will depend on whether the measures are maintained, complying with all biosafety protocols. A pilot will be developed in the western area through Hermandad de Honduras, given that it is the area with the fewest cases of COVID-19. Consultations will be done applying all the biosecurity measures and by direct interviews to respondents who participated in the baseline and the intermediate measurement done by V4CP and its partners CSOs (meetings are not allowed, as a prevention measure). The study is being facilitated by the same thematic expert who prepared the baseline and the intermediate measurement; with the accompaniment of SNV and partner CSOs.With the purpose of being able to determine the improvement in the accessibility of the services in RE, a participatory Methodology for the survey was prepared and 6 focus groups were realized in some areas of the country with people of the communities, 116 women and 18 men participated. On the same 24-point scale, this indicator averaged 18.9 points, that is, an indicator of 78% of satisfaction with the ease of accessing the service, according to the category score.It is expected that Eco stove services provided by the government will continue in 2017 and that giving that 2017 is a political year more people will have access to them. It will be necessary to allocate enough budget and time to carry out this surveys every two years. 04-07-2018: "As it was a political year, in 2017 no changes were expected in the quality of services for the adoption of improved stoves provided by the government and the target was the same as the baseline. In the previous report, the preliminary data obtained from the study measuring the perception of the degree of Quality and Accessibility of Renewable Energy-improved stoves services were reported. The study and the verification of data was completed in the second semester. The final report reports data different from the data of the preliminary report. The survey was conducted with 121 people (111 women 91.74% and 10 men 8.26%), through focus groups and their opinions defined the initial situation in terms of Quality and Access of services. The study covered 5 departments of the country, involving a total of 6 municipalities. According to the data gathered, there is more than one tipe of stoves in 120 cases. In those 120 households there are 242 stoves, an average of two stoves per household. In 65% of the cases both stoves are used. The most common stove in the households consulted is the eco-stove Envirofit (87%), followed by the traditional stove (76%). A higher percentage of users of this latter model uses it (77%) compared to the percentage that uses the Envirofit (56%). Much less widespread are the Justa model and the 2 x 3 of Mirador Project. On the same scale from zero to 24 points, the Accessibility indicator reached an average of 14.9 points, that is 62% satisfaction with the degree of ease of accessing the service, that is, an ""acceptable"" level. To assess the accessibility of services, three categories were used: Material limitations 67%, Economic limitations 77% and sociocultural limitations 43%. In general, the evaluation of the degree of accessibility shows that the level of satisfaction with the service is largely due to sociocultural limitations, given that it was the category with the lowest score, these limitations are related to t ...An increae of 1% in the access to services for clean stoves is expected, taking in account that the government will increase the donation of clean stoves and its services for political reasons in 2018. A significant increase in Vida Mejor governmental program is expected and it has a big line for clean stoves.07-10-2019: An increase of 1% in the accessibility of the service was expected, the target established was 15.05. To measure the perception of people on quality of the services in improved stoves, the participatory methodology used for the baseline was adjusted and an intermediate measurement was made. The intermediate measurement was done in the same 5 districts, as in the baseline, including 6 municipalities in total and neighbors of 28 different communities, compared to the 30 communities of the baseline. The call gathered 106 people instead of the 121 that participated in the baseline (86 women-81% and 20 men-19%), that represents 88% of the sample of the baseline. To perception on Accessibility of the Service, was measured based on three categories: Material Limitations, Economic Limitations and Sociocultural Limitations. In the same scale from zero to 24 points, the Accessibility indicator reached an average of 11.3 points, equivalent to 47% satisfaction, a significant reduction compared to 14.9 points and 62% satisfaction reported in the baseline. In conclusion, the degree of perceived access to Envirofit eco-stove services has deteriorated since the baseline survey 19 months ago. All limitations were reduced, but more significantly sociocultural limitations. The sociocultural limitations was also rated as the lowest rated category in the baseline. Its low rating is not due to the number of requirements to access an Envirofit eco-stove, but the selection criteria. 78% of participants consider that not all people can get one; a slightly higher percentage believe that there are reasons why people are not eligible, that is, there are cases of exclusion. Almost the same percentage considers that the distribution that is made of the eco-stoves is not fair or equitable. Only 9 people considered "fair" the distribution of the eco-stoves and at the same time indicated that "there were no reasons to exclude a person." In contrast, 40 who did not consider it fair, ...There is no certainty that the target set for previous years have been achieved so the same target will be set for 2020. The main action planned for 2020 is the “Perception measurement on the degree of accessibility and quality of RE-IS services provided by the government”.

It is important to note that a CSO did not fill out the organizational survey in 2017, given that the Director and main staff resigned. For the time the measurement was done the CSO was in the process of selecting and hiring new personnel. The new director filled the organizational survey for 2018. Given that there is no data for 2017 a comparison with 2018 data is not possible. 2018 data will be used to compare the results of the 2019measurement. The CSOs consider that they have strengthened their advocacy strategies both internally and externally, since one CSO commented that internally they had an impact on the inclusion of the issue of Advocacy as a strategic axis in the Annual Operational Plan. They have promoted citizen participation in public agenda issues. An advocacy work was carried out in the updating of the National Policy and Strategy for Food and Nutrition Security (PyENSAN) and contributions were made to it. We worked on methodologies for the generation of evidence for advocacy and lobby; we focused on local public policies in some areas of the country. "Changes are expected for 2019 given the effect of the actions to be carried out such as the workshops that IFPRI will develop to prepare the studies and the involvement of CSOs in the monitoring of data gathering process. CSOs consider that they need to strengthen: • Spokesperson capacities to influence topics such as FNS, gender, climate change, and poverty. Practical training. • Learn more about knowledge centres. Experiences of them. • Documentary repository - reservoir of information. • Civic technologies for advocacy. • Virtual spaces, blogs.28-04-2020: Confidential03-11-2020: ConfidentialCSOs self-assessed their thematic knowledge guided by a list of criteria. confidentialNo major changes are expected in 201720-03-2018: confidentialNo major changes are expected in 201807-10-2019: "The average score was obtained through guided self-evaluations which results were tabulated in google. The consolidation of the data was done and shared by SNV Netherlands. The target of 2 CSOs was not reached as just one CSO increased its thematic knowledge capacities since it went from 2 to 2.5 an increase of 0.5. Another CSO maintained its score of 3.3 of last year, and the other lower its score from 3.8 to 3.0 a decrease of -0.75. A CSO did not fill out the organizational survey in 2017 given that the Director and main staff resigned. For the time the measurement was done the CSO was in the process of selecting and hiring new personnel. The new director filled the organizational survey for 2018. A comparison with 2018 data is not possible because there is no data for 2017. 2018 data will be used to compare the results of the 2019 measurement. There is a decrease in the results the cause is the rotation of personel assigned to V4CP Program. The survey was filled jointly by the executive director and the new technician assigned to the program. In 2019 there are also staff rotations in some CSOs so probably here will be decreases in the score. If there are changes in the scores given by the CSOs, these will be analized jointly with the CSOs to find the reasons of the changes. A series of peer to peer capacity building workshops were held among CSOs based on their expertise: Training on political advocacy, Gender and Climate change with emphasis on public policies, generational change and masculinity, Renewable Energy and Improved Stoves, Communication plans, and Decentralization and local public policies. Also workshops promoted from SNV such as: building coalitions, evidence and advocacy, media and communication skills for development; Training of technical and administrative CSOs staff on V4CP, measurement of perceptions on quality and accessibility of services, analysis and reflexion journey on current political context. CSOs consider tha ...It is expected that changes will occur in 2019 taking into account the interventions and actions that will be carried out. CSOs consider that they need to strengthen capacities in: • Certification in Organizational Management • Decentralization. • Review and update of strategic plan • Advice on planning, monitoring and evaluation (management by results, performance evaluation, theory of change). • Human Resources. • Updating of internal regulations and institutional policies. • Creation of a salary policy • Implementation of cost accounting. • Implementation and monitoring of a new accounting system. • Creation of a communication strategy CSOs highly appreciate the training provided by experts, as has been done in previous years. The training in 2019 will be done by: 1) individual mini workshop (for each CSO based on demand and resources available) 2) General workshop (for all or a group of CSOs based on demand and resources available). A small fund has been allocated to hire coachers for short term and specific assignment. It will also be based on demand and resources available.28-04-2020: Confidential03-11-2020: ConfidentialconfidentialChanges are expected in 2018 as coaching and counseling services continue for each CSOs.07-10-2019: ConfidentialA small change is expected in this indicator in 2019 and also a change in the provision of the service. Short term and punctual-product services will be provided upon demand expressed by the CSOs and available resources. The needs of the organizations are diverse and differentiated as can be seen in the following topics prioritized by CSOs: • Design of investment projects for financial sustainability. • Sustainability and Financial Management. • Inclusive business • Resource management28-04-2020: Confidential03-11-2020: Confidential1.

The information available on these web pages on the topic of FNS, was used in local workshops and also as part of context analysis for proposals that two CSOs have formulated on the subject; it has not been used for advocacy actions. Information was also used for the Forum on FNS and Coffee in the community of Tambla, Department of Lempira.The effort of the program for this year is to focus more on the issue of advocacy using the evidence that has been generated to date, therefore, it is not expected that more portals or websites will be made available to CSOs.28-04-2020: CSOs got information from current portals they already have available so no new target was set for this indicator. V4CP efforts were oriented to support CSOs advocacy actions. Therefore, there are no new portals or websites made available to CSOs.It is not expected to make new portals or websites available to CSOs. CSOs will participate with IFPRI and SNV in the generation of knowledge products. So they will be exposed to new information.03-11-2020: No new target was set for this indicator, since CSOs participated with IFPRI in the generation of knowledge products.The advocacy plan was formulated jointly. Workshops were carried out for the formulation of it and the SNV with the support of a consultant fine-tuned the activities and finished the document that was sent to SNV Netherlands. It includes the description of the problem, goal, context analysis, change of theory, monitoring and evaluation, commitment strategy and activities and resources for 2017, outlook activities for 2018, assumptions, risks and mitigation. The Advocacy Plan of activities is based on each of the outputs and outcomes that the program hopes to achieve, in an excel template that was elaborated and it contemplates the sub activities that are related to the activities set in the FNS Advocacy Plan word document. For the year 2017, 25 major activities are expected for the Outputs: A, B and C and for the Outcomes: D, E, F, G, J and K. By the middle of 2017, the advocacy plan for 2018 would be prepared in conjunction with the CSOs to be sent to SNV Netherlands for review and approval. Through workshops and meetings with each of the CSOs members of the program to agree on actions.20-03-2018: "The advocacy plan was formulated jointly with the CSOs. Training workshops were held with the support of a consultant and the SNV team. The learning workshop was relevant to analyze how we are and where we want to go, and adjust the activities according to the results of the analysis. The plan was completed in October and was sent to SNV Holland. The document includes summary of context analysis, contextualized theory of change, monitoring and evaluation, commitment strategy, plan of activities and resources for 2018, main actions planned for 2019, assumptions, risks and mitigation measures. The advocacy Plan is based on each of the products and results that the program expects to achieve. By 2018, 32 main activities are expected for the Products: A, B and C and for the Results: D, E, F, G, H, J, K and L."By the end of 2018, it is expected to draw up the 2019 advocacy plan jointly with the CSOs to send it to SNV Netherlands for review and approval. Through workshops and meetings with each member of the CSOs of the program to agree on actions.07-10-2019: The advocacy plan for 2019 was developed jointly with the CSOs taking in account CSOs inputs gathered in the learning event and a series of mini workshops. The process was facilitated by an individual consultant, specialized on FNS theme. The document presents the 2019 main activities and their contributions to the products and outcomes stated in the FNS theory of change. The 2019 advocacy plan focusses on: strengthening the advocacy capabilities and thematic management of the CSOs and municipal tables for the proper definition of their intervention strategies and roles within the FNS Policy and Strategy (PyENSAN); Socializing the contributions and proposals of the CSOs to the PyENSAN at municipal, regional and national levels; Advocating on selected secretaries of state and representatives of the private sector; Providing evidence in support of advocacy efforts.By mid-2019, the 2020 advocacy plan would be prepared in conjunction with CSOs through various workshops and meetings with CSOs, for subsequent submission to SNV Netherlands for review and approval. It is foreseen that by 2020 the actions of the advocacy plan will concentrate on increasing the advocacy for the appropriate implementation of the participative and inclusive PYENSAN under a decentralized operating scheme and its corresponding budget allocation. With emphasis on municipal action and the realization of specific studies that contribute to the timely and systematic evaluation of the aforementioned public policy as well as the measurement of the perception of quality and access to the FNS services provided by the state.28-04-2020: "Based on inputs provided by the CSOs in the learning event and the meetings with each one of partner CSOs, the 2020 advocacy plan was formulated. The process was facilitated by an individual consultant, who has been accompanying these processes since the beginning of the program. The approval of the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy and Strategy (PyENSAN 2018-2030) obliges CSOs to face new levels of advocate since the implementation of PyENSAN requires Action Plans corresponding to each of its 11 strategic lines. So far two Action Plans have been approved: a) Action plan for food and nutrition security and b) Action plan for nutrition (PANH 2030). In 2020 CSOs will concentrate their efforts to influence 3 action plans: a) governance, b) decentralization and c) education. They will also advocate for FNS budget allocation and open space for their participation in monitoring FNS expenditures to improve the FNS status of the population."V4CP Program will end in year 2020, so it is not expected to develop any advocate plan for the coming year. However, advocacy efforts will focus on monitoring the implementation of PyENSAN (2018-2030) that includes the participatory design of prioritized action plans, the strengthening of MMSANs and the MMSAN Coordination Committee. Strong concentration in the implementation of the communication strategy to influence key actors and the general public about the importance of the inclusive implementation of PyENSAN, the allocation of adequate budget for the FNS, the mechanisms for CSOs to participate in the processes to be able to influence decisions to improve FNS services provided by the state.03-11-2020: Given that the program is in its final phase, no annual advocacy plans will be prepared for 2021. Currently, the 2020 plan is being implemented. Efforts are focused on: Development of virtual forums and events promoted on social networks. The purpose is to expose the situation of FNS in the country and that the PyENSAN, has been relegated by policies issued by the Government in the current context.

At the COVISAN meeting, the UTSAN Director was consulted regarding the municipal budget for the FNS. What mechanism or procedure should be followed for the budget allocation for the FNS in the municipalities? His answer is that no more budget lines should be opened in favour of the FNS, since there are already lines for investment in sewerage projects, water systems, letrinization, among others. In the same way, he was addressed in the Forum about the role of the FNS Municipal Tables in the implementation of the PyENSAN. His answer is that there is no budget for the functioning of the Municipal tables, the resources were channelled through the commonwealths so Municipal tables should join efforts with them. The actions carried out by the V4CP program to date at the local and national level have been socialized, and information on FNS problems has been presented. The capacities of the membership of the FNS Tables have been strengthened to use the media to position the FNS theme in the municipalities.

It is expected to advocate through verbal interventions based on evidence in meetings of the FNS National System to advocate for a National Network of FNS Municipal Tables and the regulation of the FNS Law. The partner CSOs consider that it is necessary to reform the FNS Law to align it to the current context and the PyENSAN (2018-2030) but they cannot assume the responsibility to influence it as an outcome of the V4CP Program since there are many variables they do not control and the time horizon left of V4CP is too short. What SNV and the partner CSOs are doing is lobbing for a meeting with UTSAN and FAO to know their plans and explore the possibility of their participation on this matter. No answer yet. The results on policies report of Honduras includes the PyENSAN (2018-2030), the FNS Municipal Policy of San Antonio de Flores and the FNS Municipal Policy of San Isidro, Choluteca.28-04-2020: "The target for this indicator is 21, but CSOs have had 26 interventions; which have been relevant and well received by the actors.

Prepared by IFPRI. Several conferences were held to present and share the results of the study with: a) representatives of the FNS Technical Unit (UTSAN), members of the FNS Surveillance Commission (COVISAN), NGOs affiliated to FOPRIDEH and members of the Municipal Tables of FNS of Region 12; b) Municipal Council, mayor, technical staff, members of the FNS Municipal Tables of Tambla, Lempira, c) Technical staff of ASONOG and its affiliated CSOs; d) Municipal Council and mayor of Concepción de María, Choluteca; e) FNS Municipal Tables of the southern zone and CDH technicians.

As a result of these findings, both municipal governments expressed interest and request support to ASONOG and CDH for the preparation of their 2021 budget with the FNS approach, ordering their prioritized community projects in programs, subprograms, projects and activities to make all the investment visible with the FNS approach, V4CP is providing technical support to them. The analysis of the differentiated investment by FNS Pillar is extremely importance to know how ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests "A joint analysis with CSOs on their degree of coordination was carried out using the evaluation scale and it was concluded that only occasional meetings were held with European Union Delegates on 7 November where SNV and 2 CSOs participated. Regional Table of Sovereignty and Food Security 29 November with the participation of 3 CSOs. Meeting with the FNS Table of the 13 region on 9 December in which SNV and RDS participated. Meeting of the Group promoting the dialogue on the human right to food on 15 December in which 3 CSOs and SNV participated. Each organization scored on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score, and considered that its level of coordination is 0 with the government, the private sector, academia, and other stakeholders. Despite the above descripted, it should be noted that through the program the inter-institutional links between the four participating organizations, especially between FOPRIDEH and ASONOG, have been strengthened; FOPRIDEH and RDS; CDH and RDS that are working in a coordinated and consensual way to support the Program." It is expected that by 2017, meetings and frequent communications with other actors and with NSFNS (SINASAN), government, the private sector or other platforms and alliances can be held. Target set for the second semester of 2017 10-01-2018: CSOs indicated that even though they had participated in more events and had more interventions they do not have more frequent communication with governmental representatives. The situation is similar with educational institutions, international cooperation entities such as European Union and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization FAO. CSOs find much narrowed the space to establish a direct communication and advocate to influence those actors, especially governmental representatives. New strategies are needed. CSOs have a closer relationship with CSOs, platforms and networks such as: Alianza SARA (Agrarian reform and food sovereignty), RED CASAN, Espacio Regional de Occidente Honduras-EROC, Grupo Impulsor, and Rural Development Commission, among others. CSOs have frequent meetings with municipal and regional FNS committees, and local governments. CSOs have had a relevant role in the discussions of FNS priorities and proposals during the workshops, focal groups and meetings developed in the South region with the private sector, educational institutions, NGOs, Commonwealths, and root-bead organizations. The workshops and meetings developed in the North zone contribute to the improvement of the interinstitutional relationships. The discussions about FNS status has been highly appreciated by local actors such as MAMUGA Common wealth. Two CSO filled the rubric with score of 1. Two CSO filled the rubric with score of 0. (2/4=0.5 rounded to 1). CSOs expressed their interest to increase the coordination with the government, private sector and universities. CSOs highly value the job that they are doing together since it strengthen their links of brotherhood. CSOs are confident that the events programmed for the second semester will contribute to increase the communication with actors that have similar interests but at a modest rate.20-03-2018: "An analysis was conducted with the CSOs to determine the degree of coordination. The established goal was 1 and 1,166667 was determined for this period. The CSOs indicated that, although they have participated in more events and had more interventions, it has not been possible to generate processes of coordination of concrete actions with the FNSTU, only some meetings and sporadic telephone communications. Same with the Inter-institutional Technical Committee of FNS-COTISAN. Efforts were made to approach the various political parties. The situation is similar with educational institutions, international cooperation entities such as the European Union and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). CSOs find that spaces have been greatly reduced, there is very little openness to establish direct communication and to influence those actors, especially the government representatives. There is a greater level of progress with the South and West municipal tables . The meetings are monthly, they have a structured agenda and the CSOs have participated in these spaces when they are allowed, providing information for the consultation and meeting between tables. In Comayagua and Yoro the approaches have been null. In the Central zone, the FNSTU formed the R.12 table at the end of 2017. Our partner RDS was selected as the sub-coordinator of the R.12 table, which is chaired by the UNAH. In the case of regional bureaus and local governments in the West and South, meetings are more sporadic. CSOs have a closer relationship with CSOs, platforms and networks such as: Alliance SARA (Agrarian Reform and Food Sovereignty), the Impelling Group on the Human Right to Food, Rural Development Commission, among others. The forums, talks, workshops and meetings held in the zones have contributed to the improvement of relations with some actors. Institutional relations among CSOs have been strengthened."It is expected that in the first semester of 2018 it will be possible to hold meetings and frequent communications with the municipal tables, generate spaces for participation and share and discuss information since the advocacy work will be focused on supporting and strengthening the tables.They will seek to generate spaces and have a greater relationship with the FNSTU and the municipal tables, although due to the political situation of the country it is not considered that there can be much progress with these actors. So the goal will remain in 1. CSOs expect that the scheduled events will contribute to increasing communication and participation with other actors who have similar interests.15-11-2018: Using the Evaluation Rubric, a joint analysis was made with CSOs about their degree of coordination giving an average value of 1.58333 that will be adjusted to 2, the target set for this first semester was 1. (FNSTU)UTSAN: A CSO does not have any relationship with the FNSTU nor have participated in any of the meetings they have promoted. One CSO comments that they have been invited to meetings because by law they can participate in the Inter-institutional Technical Committee of FNS-IITC, but meetings are not frequent and they consider it a closed space with no chance to influence it. One CSO indicated that they have frequent meetings with the FNSTU since they are part of the Board of Directors of the FNS Regional Table 12 Central Region, but communication is not effective in the spaces that are shared. A CSO has frequent meetings because they are part of the Assembly and have representatives in the base structures of the FNS Regional Table Region of the West. The FNSTU in the area has had an intervention at the technical level, there is political will on both sides. The relationship with FNSTU is specifically within the framework of the program; without the agenda and approach of the program, there would be none or scarce relationship with FNSTU. The integration of other actors in the regional spaces has been facilitated and it has been requested that organization lead some issues. Spaces of participation are being generated through the structures, and frequent, fluid and respectful communication has been established. There have been exchanges of information but not in a systematic way. Regional Tables: Currently a CSO has no direct relationship with the regional tables, but it received an invitation from the Center Regional Table R12 to participate in their General Assembly. A partner CSO is currently part of the Board of Directors of Regional Table R12. This CSO is advocating to open space for the participation of other partner CSOs. It also has a ...In the second semester, CSOs will hold frequent meetings and communications with key actors, since the advocacy work will focus on supporting and strengthening the tables, generating opportunities for participation in the regional and national structures. They will also socialize the studies generated by the program and discuss relevant information with key actors.The target will remain at 3 expected events that contribute to improve coordination and participation. The first semester of 2019 frequent meetings and communications with key stakeholders will take place since the advocacy work will focus on: decision makers for CSOs participation and influence on the PyENSAN´s action plans and its budget; at regional and local level advising the FNS Tables and advocating for their legal recognition, constitution and strengthening of the National Network of FNS Municipal Tables. Also socialize the studies generated by the program and analyse relevant information with key actors, among other actions. CSOs face a series of limitations for their advocacy work such as the fragile democracy that does not allow their participation in policy design, their plans, and any other governmental planning. Although UTSAN made a commitment to involve CSOs, it is not a guarantee that this will happen, since participation will depend on the will of other State Secretariats involved. Another limitation comes from inside the CSOs such as their limited prepositive capabilities since they normally do not have specialized staff for accompaniment and contribution to policy making proposals. Another limitation is access to economic resources to hire specialized personnel or consultancy services to strengthen their capabilities to have a chance to influence public policies at national level. For the above, CSOs must focus on some specific aspects of the PyENSAN or its process to advocate for such as the governance structure to include the municipal tables or committees or the participation of community organizations in the regional tables or committees, or in the budget allocation at local or national level, or in specific action plans, as an example of possible targets."The target will remain at 3. CSOs expect that with the implementation of their action plans, they will contribute to improve the coordination and participation of CSOs with UTSAN and the FNS Regional Tables. Once the study to identify and characterized the FNS Municipal Tables is made, the feasibility to create the National Network of FNS Municipal Tables will be analysed, taking into account the regulations of the Table and the FNS Law. CSOs will promote the participation of representatives of the FNS Municipal Tables in the Regional FNS Tables, in their zone of influence, to keep informed of what is happening in these Tables, and to advocate for space to present the V4CP studies. Regional FNS Tables are relevant since the Government uses them for consultation on FNS theme. "FNS Municipal Tables are the voice of FNS in the country. They have the legitimacy to advocate and make proposals in name of the communities they represent. The National Network will make Municipal Tables stronger and force the Government to recognized their role. On the other hand, the National Network will be the advocacy arm of CSOs to influence the implementation of the PyENSAN and the FNS Law reforms. The National Network will be the louder voice of the communities speaking at the different levels of the SINASAN. CSOs are advocating for the creation of the National Network. CSOs believe that once the National Network is strengthen it will open spaces for its participation in the SINASAN.28-04-2020: "The set target for this indicator was 3. CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and their jointly score is 3 given that: Partner CSOs have frequent meetings and communications with UTSAN, participating in different events related to FNS, and exchanging information on the subject. Partner CSOs led the advocacy process on UTSAN to reactivate the Monitoring Committee of FNS-COVISAN and worked together to reactivate it. Partner CSOs participate in meetings of the SINASAN structure such as COVISAN and COTISAN that are bodies created to promote the FNS from the public sphere and to articulate the work on the subject of all related actors. Municipal Tables: Partner CSOs participate in monthly meetings, and join efforts with other organizations to develop municipal public policies. They have permanent communication and provide technical support for thematic and advocacy management in conferences, workshops and other public events in their geographic areas of influence. Regional Tables: Sporadic meetings are held. Partner CSOs participate according to the calls of the FNS Table of Region 12 and 13. They have been articulated with some actors and worked together in the planning of the assemblies. CSOs expect those regional tables will be more active in 2020 and that CSOs will participate and develop actions in close coordination and collaboration. However, partner CSOs have not succeeded in opening spaces for them to participate in the UTSAN and Regional Tables Action Plans design. Normally these Action Plans are done without participation of civil society. Only in the case of municipal tables, partner CSOs participate in the Action Plans design and implementation providing technical assistance especially in advocacy and preparation of FNS municipal public policies. "The target for this indicator will remain in 3. CSOs are planning to participate in the design of the PyENSAN Actions Plans they prioritized, and also to develop advocacy actions for the inclusion of the Coordination Committee of the FNS Municipal Tables in the SINASAN. Partner CSOs and UTSAN got verbal agreements to allow the participation of Civil Society in the construction of the plans and the programmatic actions of the UTSAN. But CSOs are not optimistic that in reality they will be invited and taken into account since their participation has been limited so far. Although UTSAN is more open now to civil society, it has not been possible for partner CSOs to work together in the implementation of UTSAN programs. Greater coordination is expected with the municipal tables as well as with the Coordination Committee of the FNS Municipal Tables. Partner CSOs will strengthen the advocacy skill and thematic knowledge of both bodies.03-11-2020: The target for this indicator is 3 and the 4 CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and jointly maintained their score of 3. CSOs have frequent meetings and communications with the Technical Unit for Food and Nutrition Security (UTSAN) and fluid communication with the FNS Municipal and Regional Tables (MMSAN and MRSAN) in the CSO's area of influence. CSOs have created spaces for participation at the level of organizations and institutions that work on the FNS issue, which have participated in conferences promoted by V4CP. Relevant information related to FNS topic is shared and discussed in different spaces. CSOs believe that V4CP permeated UTSAN as it now is accompanying and strengthening Municipal Tables. This has been a target of V4CP advocacy but there is no evidence that the change in UTSAN toward municipal tables is due to V4CP actions. It is important to note that UTSAN and its main program EUROSAN recognize the leadership of V4CP. It is expected that a letter of understanding will be signed by EUROSAN-Occidente with V4CP or partner CSOs. CSOs are preparing plans and strategies with FNS Municipal Tables in southern and western regions. Example of it is the advocacy strategy defined in June to be applied in the second semester of 2020 in Concepción de María. They are also creating new Municipal Tables such as the Santa Ana Yusgure, El Corpus, Orocuina and Apacilagua, in Choluteca. At national level, CSOs with the other members of COVISAN will start in September the preparation of COVISAN 2021 action plan, as part of its capacity-building process.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorA joint analysis with the CSOs on their degree of influence in setting the agenda was carried out using the rubric of evaluation and it was concluded that only one CSO has had occasional contacts with the UTSAN, however, it has not been possible to establish In its agenda, basically this relation is on the FNS Program Route that executes the organization. Each organization gave its score on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score and considered that its influence level is 0. It is expected that by 2017 there will be greater communication and meetings with key stakeholders such as NSFNS (SINASAN), political parties, government, private sector and other platforms and alliances. Target set for the second semester of 2017 10-01-2018: A jointly analysis was done to measure the level of influence of CSOs in the agendas of key actors. The main conclusion is that CSOs have no influence or limited influence on key actor’s agendas. CSOs keep occasional communication with key actors. With the FNS governmental Technical Unit there are just verbal agreements to consider for the FNS policy actualization the evidence that the V4CP is generating with the workshops, focal groups and meetings with the private sector, educational institutions, commonwealths, NGOs, and root-based organizations. One of the partner CSO participates by law in the FNS`s Interinstitutional committee COTISAN. It monitors and inform SNV and the rest of CSOs. There is not political will to open the space for other CSOs in the FNS official structure and the space to influence the agenda of international organizations, and the private sector is very narrowed and difficult to open. Progress in creating alliances and opening spaces at local level is reported by CSOs. For example in the South region, partner CSOs are influencing the agenda of the FNS Regional committee. In the West region partner CSOs are influencing local government to open spaces to advocate for the municipal FNS policy to be approved and budget to be allocated. V4CP activities contribute to improve the interinstitutional coordination in the North region. At national level partner CSOs play a more informative role even though some have been interviewed on FNS theme. Three CSO filled the rubric with score of 0 and just one CSO filled the rubric with score of 1. (1/4=0.25 rounded to 0). CSOs expressed their interest to increase their influence on key actor’s agendas and highly value the efforts done. New strategies are needed.CSOs are confident that the events programmed for the second semester of 2017 will contribute to increase the communication with key actors but they are not optimistic about increasing their influence on key actor’s agendas in the short run. Still, CSO`s have moderate expectations to influence new candidates to take in account the evidence generated by V4CP in the workshops, focal groups and meetings with the private sector, educational institutions, commonwealths, NGOs, and root-based organizations about FNS priorities and proposed actions.20-03-2018: "The level of influence on the FNSTU agenda and the regional and municipal tables was analyzed with the CSOs, although the proposed goal was 0, the CSOs assessed that their level of influence has improved specifically with the municipal tables in the south, center and West of Honduras, so when evaluating the evaluation rubric it averaged 0.83333 rounded to 1. With the FNSTU in the West there have been sporadic communications, spaces have been shared, presentations of the program have been made, but we can not say that they have an interest in it. At the central level, occasional contacts have been made with some technical staff, but spaces have not been opened at the level of decision makers. There's participation in the regional tables of the western zone and the central zone. No decision-making is still involved. There is a risk of being used to validate governmental processes. With the municipal tables it has worked in the West and South, it is of interest the approval of a FNS national public policy, which supports the work they have done at the local level and that incorporates the demands they have, There has been shared and reflected on the role of the municipal tables and generation of policies at the municipal level. There has been support from the tables in the stakeholder mapping for the invitations to the consultation days and relevant information generated from the program has been shared."CSOs do not consider that there can be a significant change, but it is expected that by the first semester of 2018 the level of influence with the municipal boards can be increased, not at the regional level, nor with the FNSTU. CSOs have the expectation that they can influence some deputies and mayors who could be elected in the general elections and who participated in the various forums, discussions held and that at the level of the regions a political pact was signed, which is going to affect on it. CSOs consider that there must be a strategy of approach, differentiated to take an approach and the best way is through the strengthening of the tables and grassroots organizations that support this issue. The tables are not multi-stakeholder and can integrate civil society organized and linked to FNS processes; there if you can manage an agenda or propose it.15-11-2018: "Using the Evaluation Rubric, a joint analysis was made with CSOs about their degree of influence giving an average value of 1.16657 that will be adjusted to 1, the goal for this first semester was 1. (FNSTU) UTSAN: a CSO has had occasional and circumstantial contacts and was invited once to a FNSITCO (COTISAN) meeting. Another CSO commented that its relationship is more local. Another CSO has a by-law relationship with COTISAN. As a member, it has occasional contact, and participate in COTISAN meetings, without concrete actions being taken. One CSO expressed that they have frequent communications and can express themselves on some issues, but they do not have a high degree of influence since the actions of interest of the program are not placed on the agenda. They have contact with decision makers but not concrete results at national level, for example, they do not know what will happen with the FNS system SINASAN, they do not have access, and they have not been able to express in this space the interest of the regional and territorial tables on some topics such as transgenic. As tables they have differentiated positions. Regional Tables: A CSO in the western area has already structured an agenda, has influenced local public policies, many in implementation and has a strong coordination work, frequent meetings, in spite of that, it has not yet been possible to place the interests of the program and define work plans due to the lack of resources for the execution of the activities, the actors indicate a lot of training process without direct action. A CSO participates in the Table R13 south zone, there is an agenda that is discussed and the points are placed in that agenda, information is shared and the actions are planned. The last months they have talked about the process of the policy, however, the interests of the program are not yet placed on the agenda and they are not discussed between the parties. A CSO has frequent communication and conside ...CSOs do not expect significant changes in their level of influence in the second semester but next year on regional and municipal tables in view of the effects of the actions to strengthen the capacities of the FNS tables and their strategic allies and also for the advocacy actions in 2018. Some CSOs consider that it is not easy to place in the agenda of regional tables the program`s topics since they focus normally on very specific topics such as production, and socialization of new projects that arrive in the area. They are willing to listen but not to add new topics in the agenda. They also commented that they are tired of being in processes of advocacy and training, but they want to carry out awareness actions, school gardens. It has not been possible to define work plans due to the lack of resources for the execution of the activities. They also commented that there is a lot of training process without direct action. With the FNSTU UTSAN there is little communication and coordination. Coordination and cooperation actions are somehow isolated although there are already efforts to bring together both the SNV as CSOs. There is no willingness of UTSAN to take in account the data generated by V4CP. A strategy to capture the interest of UTSAN on what the program and the CSOs can contribute to the update of the PyENSAN is needed.07-10-2019: A joint analysis was done with the CSOs using the evaluation rubric to measure their degree of influence, resulting in an average value of 2.41667 which is adjusted to a value of 2.5 the Target for this semester was 1. No significant changes were expected in the level of influence this year, however, there was more openness by the actors given the update of the PyENSAN. Regional consultations were carried out as the base for the discussion with regional key actors and the UTSAN in relation to the update of the PyENSAN. In the consultations, participants had the opportunity to offer opinions, suggestions and concerns, and present their demands to key actors in each region. Taking in account the findings of the regional consultations the partner CSOs and other allied organizations prepared a document that includes the differences, congruencies and divergences they found in the draft proposal of the PyENSAN, and their recommendations and contributions to the proposal, document that was the base for the discussion with UTSAN and the evidence for advocacy. The relationship with UTSAN is more fluid and the FNS issue is on the table, as a result of CSOs and SNV advocacy actions as well as the influence of two important actors (FAO and the EU) that have participated in meetings promoted by V4CP to advocate for the inclusion of the CSOs contributions to the proposal PyENSAN, which is pending approval. For some CSOs the participation of FOPRIDEH and the consultant hired to facilitate the process of developing the contributions of CSOs to the PyENSAN in the Meeting on the National Council of Food and Nutritional Security (CONASAN), where representatives of the General Coordination of Government Secretariat (SCGG), UTSAN, FAO, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock, Secretariat MiAmbiente, Honduran Council of the Private Sector (COHEP) and FOPRIDEH (member of CONASAN by law), also contribute to improve the relationship with UTSAN, and it was also an opport ...CSOs consider that the events scheduled for the first semester of 2019 can maintain their level of influence and will contribute to increase their communication with key stakeholders. They are not optimistic about increasing their influence on the agendas of decision makers, at least in the short term, given their distrust of the state bodies that are a political entity with little interest in developing effective processes in the communities. On the other hand, CSOs consider that is not easy to place V4CP agenda in the Regional Tables since they usually focus on very specific topics, such as the production and socialization of new projects that reach the south and west. The CSOs do not consider that a significant change can be made, but the relationships with the various actors that until now have been achieved are maintained, established and made more solid. CSOs consider that effective strategies should be developed to continue advocacy processes, an internal analysis of what has been done well and what actions should be improved internally."CSOs consider that the events scheduled for the second semester of 2019 can maintain their level of influence and will contribute to increase their communication with key stakeholders. CSOs do not consider that a significant change can be generated with the UTSAN and the FNS Regional Tables to influence their agendas, but the relationships with the different actors that have been achieved so far will be maintained and become more solid. For the second semester, CSOs plan to work, in their geographic areas, with FNS Municipal Tables and influence their agendas. Efforts will also focus on the creation of the National Network of FNS Municipal Tables with the purpose of advocating on national and local FNS public policies. It is expected that the National Network will interact with governmental bodies related to FNS, such as the Technical Unit on Food and Nutrition Security (UTSAN), the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Finance, International Cooperation Agencies, among others, without neglecting the support to Municipal Tables that constitute the main base of the Network. A series of visits will be made to different regions of the country to identify and characterized the FNS Municipal Tables to find out: when they were created, who participates, liaison with the municipality, sources of funding, organizations that have been accompanying them; and, to explore if they are interested in participating in a structure like the National Network."28-04-2020: "The target for the period was 2.5 and CSOs gave a score of 2.5 based on the evaluation rubric.. The coordination with UTSAN has been more fluid in 2019, compared to previous years. UTSAN has shown greater openness, CSOs had frequent communications and meetings both in the central and western areas of the country. They had the opportunity to present V4CP experiences. CSOs succeed influencing UTSAN for the reactivation of COVISAN. But it is not yet possible to influence UTSAN to incorporate civil society in the development of action plans and in UTSAN actions for the implementation of PyENSAN. CSOs participate and have frequent communication with the regional tables in their area of influence. CSOs had the opportunity to present V4CP experiences and main findings of studies. However, it has not been possible to put on the agenda the actions that the program is carrying out. CSOs participate and maintain a permanent communication with municipal tables in their area of influence. They jointly define agendas and advocacy plans focused on the design and approval of municipal FNS public policies. Partner CSOs provide technical assistance and accompaniment in the advocacy actions. A meeting was held on November 13 and 14, 2019 with representatives of FNS municipal tables. As a main result, a Coordination Committee was established and partner CSOs are working with it to prepare a basic action plan to join the V4CP advocacy actions and promote FNS theme in their regions. Partner CSOs succeed in influencing the Coordination Committee agenda. "CSOs will maintain the target 0f 2.5 for this indicator as they believe they will not be able to influence UTSAN and FNS Regional Tables ‘agendas. They expect that with the implementation of their action plans, their level of coordination and collaboration with UTSAN and regional tables will remain. CSOs efforts will focus on the actions at national level of the Coordination Committee of FNS Municipal Tables. Workshops, forums, and meetings will be held to strengthen thematic knowledge and advocacy and negotiation skills. Summaries of V4CP knowledge products will be socialized. The Coordination Committee is expected to interact with governmental agencies related to FNS, such as the Technical Unit for Food and Nutrition Security (UTSAN), the National FNS Council (CONASAN) and the FNS Technical Committee (COTISAN) and with FNS Regional Tables established. Similarly, the implementation of the PyENSAN will be monitored, which includes the participatory design of the action plans prioritized by CSOs. The implementation of the communication strategy will continue to influence key actors and the general public.03-11-2020: The target of this indicator was 2.5, the CSOs applied the evaluation rubric to measure their degree of influence on the agenda of the UTSAN, Municipal and Regional Tables of Food and Nutrition Security (MMSAN and MRSAN) and in consensus the 4 CSOs maintain their score of 2.5 almost reaching the maximum mark within the evaluation rubric. CSOs have frequent communication and meetings with members of the MMSAN and FNS Regional Tables in their area of influence. They managed the preparation of studies on the subject of COVID-19 and its impact on FNS, and also supported the Coordination Committee of the FNS Network advocacy actions on municipal authorities of some municipalities in the southern and western areas of Honduras. Actions are planned and executed accordingly to the institutional agendas at the regional level. CSOs kept the communication with UTSAN teams in the central and western regions of the country and advocate to include the municipal tables in SINASAN structure, however it has not been possible to put CSO interests on the agenda. FOPRIDEH with accompaniment of CDH, ASONOG and RDS succeed in keeping alive the space that the FNS Surveillance Commission represents. The first COVISAN Report on FNS situation is currently being prepared, as well as its action plan 2021. On the other hand, the FNS Municipal Tables with support of CSOs are advocating for the design and allocation of budget for the implementation of FNS municipal policies. It is expected that as the Network of Tables is consolidated at the national level, advocacy actions at the local, regional and national levels will be able to continue even if V4CP ends. An awareness and advocacy campaign is being implemented with the objective of promoting the FNS issue and influence the implementation of the PyENSAN.Confidentialconfidential04-07-2018: "In 2016, 9 influential people were identified and evaluated. The evaluation done by the CSOs indicates that these actors did not support much the inclusive policy of FNS and considered that they had a certain level of confidence. For 2017, the CSOs considered that with the programmed activities the interest of 2 decision makers could be awakened. However, due to the political situation in the country, as a result of the general elections held in November 2017, these decision makers are no longer in the positions that had been considered relevant to support the program's objective in terms of updating of the FNS policy, so it is not possible to perform the measurement at this time. It is expected that in the first quarter of 2018 the names of the new officials will be announced. A mapping of new actors will be done. The activity is scheduled to take place in the April Workshop where a political analyst will be invited to give a general overview of the situation in the country, presenting various possible scenarios in the immediate future."confidential08-10-2019: The target of this indicator is 0, however, has been identified 1 person who has demonstrated support to V4CP initiative reached at the end of the year 2018. Given the expiration of the (FNS) Food and Nutrition Security Policy and Strategy of Honduras and its lack of regulation and implementation, the State of Honduras decided to update the FNS Policy and Strategy (PYENSAN) 2018-2030 in response to current needs in FNS material, led by the UTSAN. The participating CSOs of the V4CP developed collaborative work for the construction of the necessary inputs to make evidence-based advocacy at different levels. They made consultations to know the problem of Food and Nutrition Insecurity, in the regions: South zone, Atlantic littoral, Central, West and zones bordering the Central District. The consultations generated information that the CSO partners of V4CP, and stakeholders interested in FNS incorporated into an inclusive positioning proposal before the update of the PyENSAN. As a result of the advocacy process, the incorporation of the consensual contributions presented by the CSOs into the PyENSAN was achieved, which was corroborated by the partner CSOs in the final draft received from of the governmental entity ; Still pending approval. The meetings were key to work together in the drafting of the incorporations, share information and identify spaces for collaboration and advocacy at the local and regional level.It is expected to achieve greater support and interest from different actors, given the actions that will take place in 2019. The CSOs have identified some actors and institutions to influence in 2019, such as: the Ministry of Health, General Directorate of Social Networks, Secretariat of Finance, in the Management Planning and Evaluation Units of each of the institutions that will work on the plans of the PyENSAN, its Ministers and Secretaries, Representatives of FAO. Continue advocating with Representative-UTSAN reminding him of the agreements for the participation of CSOs in the elaboration of the action plans; sharing the updated schedule of the conferences and the methodology of socialization, the Work Plan for the implementation of the Action Plan for Nutrition and the presentation of the results of the FNS Expenditure Study in Honduras. It is expected that in 2019 the Embassy of the Netherlands promotes periodic meetings in the countries with the alliances that have been built in Honduras or with new that have been identified internationally,especially networks that have a regional influence. CSOs would like to have more presence of the Embassy in their actions, accompaniment to EU, UTSAN, MiAmbiente, President of the Republic and others.28-04-2020: "The target set for this indicator is 1. CSOs identified and evaluated 3 influential people such as: Direction of the Technical Unit for Food and Nutrition Security - UTSAN and Sub Secretary of the United Nations and Global Coordinator Scaling Up Nutrition and Municipal Mayor of Concepción de María. The evaluation carried out by the CSOs indicates that in the case of the Person 1 he is not a very supportive person, since he is a person with little interest to incorporate civil society in the actions carried out by institution in the FNS theme. They have coordination meetings and he participates in events organized by the CSOs. He is a somewhat reliable person since he responds more politically. In the case of the Person 2, CSOs consider that she is a supportive, influential person and a somewhat trustworthy person, not much is known about her actions. On May 16, 2019, Honduras sent official letter to be part of this movement. UTSAN and FOPRIDEH jointly advocate for a visit of Mrs.Verburg to Honduras to influence high level authorities in favour of FNS. During the visit, FOPRIDEH organized a meeting for CSOs to present their work on FNS and their topics of interests. In her meeting with the National Council of FNS-CONASAN , she stated the importance of implementing the PyENSAN, the budget allocation and the coordination of actions with Civil Society. The Person 3 was also evaluated, it was assessed that she is a supportive person. She participated in the meetings for the design of the FNS Municipal Policy with focus on Climate Change. She also set an open hall with the participation of the Municipal Board for the approval of the policy. She is an influential person and is very committed to open spaces for the participation of organized civil society. She is a reliable person since she made commitments and supported the entire process developed by civil society.Advocacy efforts will focus on UTSAN, and the other bodies of the SINASAN as well as related state Secretariats such as Health, Finance, and the General Coordination of Government, and the National Congress. CSOs will advocate to join efforts with the SUN Movement and with FAO. CSOs believe that there is no political will for the design and implementation of the Action Plans of the PyENSAN since there is a lack of responsibility and unequal participation of key actors who also do not understand their role in the current organizational structure. Lack of budget allocation for implementation. Improper coordination and integration between agencies and entities linked to the FNS. Fragile and inefficient FNS governance system that does not generate desired results. Add to the above, the lack of confidence and trust in the government, in its willingness to properly implement programs and projects that favour the status of the FNS of the population.03-11-2020: The target of this indicator is 1, the CSOs identified and evaluated 3 political leaders and/or decision makers who have demonstrated support for the V4CP program and the actions that have been carried out on the FNS issue. The CSOs evaluated Municipal Mayor of Concepción de María, in Choluteca they consider that she is a solidary person. The Municipal Council as well as technical staff supported the construction and approval of the Municipal Policy of FNS and participated in V4CP different events. She allowed IFPRI consultant access to municipal financial information for the study on FNS Investments. She requested support from CDH to prepare the 2021 budget proposal in which it is expected to consider the FNS pillars. She is an influential and trustworthy person as she assumed a leadership role to support the construction and approval process of the FNS policy of Concepción de María. Municipal Mayor of Santa Ana de Yusguare, Choluteca is considered a supportive person as he convened many actors and participate in the assembly for the constitution of the FNS Municipal Table. He is an influential and trustworthy person as he supported the constitution and strategy and actions of the FNS Municipal Table. Municipal Mayor of Tambla, Lempira, evaluated as a supportive person, has opened the way for the gathering of information for IFPRI study of FNS investments in two municipalities. With the support of ASONOG he organized events to present said results to the personnel of the Municipal Corporation and members of the FNS Municipal Table. In view of the results of the study, he asked for technical support to prepare the 2021 municipal budget, which is expected to consider the pillars of the FNS. He is an influential and trustworthy person as he assumed leadership and has the political will to provoke changes working jointly with ASONOG promoting FNS issue in Tambla.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsAn analysis was carried out jointly with the CSOs and an analysis was made of how the mechanisms of accountability are perceived and it was concluded that although there are formal structures to inform decision making, at the national level these structures are not functional. At the local level they work better, but fail to influence the national agenda and FNS policy design, let alone accountability processes. In Honduras, the demands of citizens or organizations are not answered, there is no transparency of decision-making, there is no political will or mechanism that obliges government and companies to justify their decisions and actions, the voice of CSOs Is not as heard, although there are positive examples of advocacy work and achievements obtained through it.Each organization gave its score on the evaluation rubric, agreed on the score and considered that the result is 0. There are no action in 2017 related to improvement of the accountability mechanisms and so no expected progress on it in 2017 20-03-2018: "An analysis was carried out with CSOs to assess the degree to which progress has been made with accountability mechanisms and it was determined that it continues at 0. There are no actions in the 2017 plan that contribute to this indicator, however, CSOs commented : a) CSOs are not provided with information on decisions, decision-making processes, performance reports, etc. Example: there is no disaggregated information for the FNS issue, there is no specific line and when information is obtained it is outdated and the waiting period is long. Limited access to information. There is a Law of Secrecy that prevents access to information, and if it is obtained, it can not be assured that it is reliable. b) There are formal structures to inform decision-making, but at the national level these structures do not work. At the local level they work better but they can not influence the national agenda and the design of the FNS policies, much less in the processes of accountability. c) There is no official information on the status or progress of the FNSTU in updating the FNS Policy. By other means an OSC learned that the FNSTU would make a presentation at the R13 table (only table at that time and with little participation from civil society). It was decided to participate and in this way we had access to the methodology that FNSTU would apply in the regional tables for updating the FNS Policy and Strategy."There are no actions in 2018 related to the improvement of accountability mechanisms, so no progress is expected in this year.08-10-2019: There were no defined advocacy actions to be carried out in 2018 on this indicator, therefore the result is kept at 0. An analysis of how the the governmental entity accountability mechanisms are perceived was carried out jointly with the CSOs. The conclusion is that CSOs are not provided with information about decisions and decision-making processes related to the FNS issue. In Honduras, one of the difficulties in this area is that there is no information available, there is no budget line for the FNS issue, and anything is for them taken as FNS execution because the budget lines are not clearly defined or identified. There is not transparency in decision-making, there is no political will or mechanism that forces the government, institutions and companies to justify their decisions and actions. It is difficult to generate an execution report of what has been invested or contributed to the FNS theme. CSOs seek information on their own and in some cases there is openness of decision makers, but it is not their initiative to provide information. However, there are other CSOs that are related to government institutions that provide and share information. The form of accountability of the CSOs is differentiated, some make periodic reports to the contributing entities, perform internal and external audits, present reports to the Board of Directors and Assembly, present a report to URSAC, SAR. In some projects the progress of the processes or the results are presented to the population. But they also consider that there are always opportunities for improvement and consider that other mechanisms can be established such as: a broader accountability to beneficiaries and other actors. ASONOG, a partner CSO started the instalment and implementation of a planning and monitoring system and find the process challenging, as it is a new experience.No significant changes are expected for this indicator in 2019 but some actions will be carry on to establish links with the National Anticorruption Council (CNA) and the Office of Planning and Follow-up of the Secretariat of General Coordination of Government (SCGG). The purpose of these links is to get to know the accountability mechanisms established for the government offices and validate tools for social control and accountability that a CSO has. Advocate for their implementation by UTSAN and the follow-up of the CSOs.28-04-2020: "The target set for this indicator is 0 and the score given by partner CSOs is 0 based on the application of the evaluation rubric. Currently the CSOs are not provided with information on decisions, decision-making processes - government policies and platforms related to Food and Nutrition Security issue - FNS. In partner CSOs opinion, there is little government interest in the FNS issue, and there is an increase in political instability. In spite of the above, CSOs advocate to install the FNS Surveillance Commission (COVISAN) that is the body responsible for monitoring the National FNS system SINASAN. By law COVISAN meets twice a year and issue an annual report to the National Food Security Council (CONASAN) and the Technical Unit for Food and Nutritional Security (UTSAN) and to the general public. By law, FOPRIDEH is member of COVISAN. FOPRIDEH invited other CSOs to participate in these meetings, and they are supporting the process. Three meetings were held in 2019: 1) First meeting to inform the actors about the process of updating the National Policy and Strategy of FNS (PyENSAN 2018-2030) and the contributions made from civil society to the PyENSAN and to municipal FNS policies. Also a summary of what is expected for the COVISAN, its role and structure. Tools and experiences of social auditing in FNS. 2) Presentation of regulations and laws regarding compliance with the Right to Adequate Food. 3) Construction of the main lines for the first report of the commission. With the FNS Regional Tables, partner CSOs will keep participating and searching for more spaces for civil society participation. These tables are promoted from the state, and have little participation of FNS municipal tables and civil society. "CSOs are not optimistic about the increase in this indicator for 2020, given the current conditions of the country, loss of confidence in the current authorities, as well as the short time remaining for V4CP in Honduras. On the other hand, according to the evaluation rubric, CSOs do not consider UTSAN will inform them about decisions, decision-making processes regarding FNS. UTSAN portal has not updated information accessible to CSOs. So far there has been a good relationship, but it has not been possible to establish a greater bond. However, they will focus their efforts on continuing to influence COVISAN and will work to strengthen the monitoring capacities of COVISAN and its links with the National Anti-Corruption Council (CNA) and other government audit units through the development of workshops and field trips with members of COVISAN and UTSAN to learn about experiences in neighbouring countries, analyse the inputs and get agreements for the implementation of accountability mechanisms. Links will also be established with the CNA and the Secretariat of Human Rights, Justice, Governance and Decentralization to know the mechanisms of responsibility established for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs).03-11-2020: The target of this indicator is 0, the CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and jointly maintain their score of 0. Since they consider that the government makes decisions without consulting, nor is their practice to inform about policies or laws that they elaborate. The accountability mechanisms established by the government are not appropriate to carry out actions of social oversight, there are no spaces for consultation and dialogue with the public. Giving that V4CP is in its final phase, CSOs prioritized COVISAN as supervising unit of the FNS System (SINASAN) created by Legislative Decree 25-2011. According to Executive Decree PCM-28-2015, COVISAN is made up of a representative of: 1) The Federation of Non-Governmental Organizations for the Development of Honduras (FOPRIDEH), which presides over it, 2) The National Convergence Forum (FONAC), and 3) The person who holds the presidency of the National Congress Commission that deals with FNS, and the actors contemplated in executive agreement 041-A-DP-2013: the National Anticorruption Council, and the National Commissioner for Human Rights (CONADEH). Even though the SAN Law approved in 2011 establishes the figure of COVISAN and that said instance was regulated in 2015, it is until June 2019 that it is activated and holds its first ordinary meeting organized by V4CP partner FOPRIDEH. With the activation of this space, the preparation of the First COVISAN report is in process, binding on reprogramming, reform, adaptation and social oversight of policies, laws, programs and projects. FOPRIDEH together with CSOs will influence so that this report is presented to the National Council for Food and Nutrition Security (CONASAN), Interinstitutional Technical Committee for Food and Nutrition Security (COTISAN), Technical Unit for Food and Nutrition Security (UTSAN) and to the public opinion in general, as defined by law and that the findings and recommendations can be followed up accordingly and actions to be ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. No legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines exists, or existing/new suggested legislative framework is detrimental to issue 1. A new/adjusted legislative framework is considered 2. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been drafted 3. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR framework detrimental to issue has been prevented 4. New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedA new FNS Policy is being considered, since the previous one was no longer valid in 2015, through the National Autonomous University of Honduras, a draft FNS Policy was prepared, which will be presented to the corresponding instances in the next few days . The evaluation rubric was applied and 1 was agreed as a score. The actors involved in formulating the FNS Policy are: Public Sector: General Coordination Secretariat, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion of Honduras (SEDIS), National Congress of the Republic, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG). Those who approve the policy is the National Congress and can also approve the executive by Decree of the Council of Ministers. Those implementing the policy are: Public sector: Ministry of Health, SAG and SEDIS. Private sector: companies that are in the food sector, all companies that supply inputs to the agri-food sector, among others. Academy: Universities linked to nutrition such as: National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), National Pedagogical University (UPNFM) and technical schools. Actors related to the topic: Civil Society: RDS, ASONOG, FV, HdH, FOPRIDEH, Vía Campesina, Sara Alliance, Foodfirst Information & Action Network (FIAN), among others. International Cooperation and Funding Agencies: World Bank (WB), European Union (EU), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), among others The specific elements of this enabling environment that will be reflected in the content of the policy will depend on the results of the consensus process that CSOs will carry out with potential partners and alliances. When agreements are reached, new indicators will probably be added to monitor the content of the FNS inclusive policy. No major progress is expected in this indicator in 2017. Giving that 2017 is a political year it is expected to have progress around May 2018 with the new FNS participative policy. 20-03-2018: "The goal of this indicator was 1, the evaluation rubric was applied with CSOs and a score of 1.25 was considered (3 CSOs gave score 1 and 1 CSO gave a score of 2). At the ordinary meeting of COTISAN on April 6, 2017, UTSAN (FNSTU) presented the plan for the review and update of the FNS policy and strategy. The proposal of the General Secretariat for Government Coordination (SCGG) is to prepare a single document since many chapters of the policy are part of the strategy. Also to facilitate the coherence between both instruments. The goal of the FNSTU is to have the proposal ready for approval in November 2018. The CSOs, as well as the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), have expressed their interest in participating in a transparent and inclusive process. The FNSTU contracted a consultant to update the FNS Policy. The UNAH, National Autonomous University of Honduras prepared a draft FNS Policy which was delivered to the FNSTU. It is considered that there is already a proposed FNS policy updated by the consultant, although it has not yet been socialized. The European Union and FAO are supporting this initiative. Due to the above, strong advocacy work will be required with the following actors: i) FNSTU (Responsible for updating the strategy and FNS policy and the FNS investment plan), to make available the evidence generated in the research that supports the strategic points of the CSOs in the different regions, especially in the area of the ACS-GAFSP; ii) the National Congress (body that approves the reforms and laws of the country), is an advocacy effort led by FOPRIDEH with the support of international organizations and donors such as the G16); iii) the regional and municipal FNS committees. At this level, the promotion is promoted by CSO participants in these platforms, contributing their experience and institutional capacity to strengthen and monitor actions at the municipal, departmental and regional levels; iv) Invest-H, which i ..."Progress is expected in the updating of FNS policy, given that FNSTU within its work plan has contemplated its approval in November 2018. This means that by 2018, program activities will focus on increasing participation, improving coordination between CSOs and municipal and regional FNS committees to disseminate and socialize the updated policy, define their intervention strategies and roles in the implementation, monitoring and social auditing of FNS policy, it is hoped that said policy will be inclusive and participatory."08-10-2019: The target of this indicator was 2, the assessment rubric was applied jointly with CSOs and resulted in a score of 2 and all CSOs agreed to this rating. The National FNS Policy and Strategy (PyENSAN) has been drafted but it has not yet been approved and there is no clarity about the budget that will be assigned to it and how it will be considered in the current fiscal year. The process and the draft of the policy were socialized, it was not by decision of the governmental entity but by the advocacy and management that the CSOs have made for the update of the PYENSAN. The CSOs associated with the V4CP and other allies delivered, in September 2018, to the governmental entity the document containing the first observations on the Policy document. Subsequently a series of meetings were held to influence the incorporation of the contributions to the PyENSAN proposal.2018 - 2030. A look from the civil society organizations participating in the program and other organizations and related spaces. The meetings were key to work together in the drafting of the incorporations, share information and identify spaces for collaboration and advocacy at the local and regional level. As a result of the evidence-based advocacy process led by the partner CSOs of the V4CP, the incorporation into the PyENSAN of the agreed contributions presented by V4CP was achieved. It is expected that the Policy will be approved 2019. The Firts/FAO coordinator informed that the implementation of the PyENSAN has already begun, there are advances in the preparation of: the Action Plan for Nutrition in Honduras (PANH), the Plan for the indigenous population and Afro-descendants, and in the socialization and validation of the methodology of the PyENSAN in workshops with commonwealths. The UTSAN and FAO are planning meetings in February 2019 with the Planning Units (UPEG) of the different Secretaries of State to socialize the PyENSAN and advocate for the inclusion in their budget of 2020 f ...It is expected that the PYENSAN will be approved and published in the official newspaper "La Gaceta" by mid-2019. This will ensure that the contributions of CSOs have actually been incorporated. According to the law, the step that follows is that PyENSAN passes for review to the Secretary of Government, Public and Social Policies and then to the Council of Ministers for approval. The CSOs consider that 2019 advocacy should be oriented to influence the FNS action plans and their implementation, especially the nutrition guidelines; open other spaces such as AMHON to work at national and local levels; keep the relationship with the municipal tables to socialize the PyENSAN; impact on transparency, social oversight and accountability. Develop an strategy to approach the National Anti-Corruption Council (CNA), National Commissioner for Human Rights (CONADEH) as they belong to the monitoring committee of the FNS to be reactivated; develop tools that can be applied for evidence on the use of public resources. Advocate for the legal recognition of the municipal and regional tables and propose law reforms on the subject. Strengthen the capacities of the FNS committees in terms of social oversight, follow-up on policy, raise awareness and socialize the PyENSAN, support in municipal policies, definition of budgets, so that people can prioritize the FNS and allocate budget in the municipalities plans. In the same way, conduct awareness-raising processes for the population and campaigns on the subject.28-04-2020: "The goal of this indicator was 3, applying the evaluation heading the 4 CSOs gave a score of 3. Given that on February 5, 2019, under executive decree PCM-086-2018, the National Food Security and Nutritional Policy and Strategy 2018-2030 was approved . However, to date it has not been implemented, the policy was approved with the objective that it has a regulatory scope at the level of public institutions and an indicative character at the level of the different private, non-governmental organizations and different actors at the national level, Regional and local. Participating CSOs of V4CP developed a collaborative work for the construction of inputs needed to make evidence-based advocacy at different levels. They carried out consultations to know the problem of Food and Nutritional Insecurity (INSAN) in some regions of the country. The consultations generated information that the CSO partners of V4CP and interested FNS instances incorporated an inclusive proposal for positioning before the update of the PyENSAN. The CSOs followed up on the update of the PyENSAN through meetings with the UTSAN. As a result of the advocacy process led by the CSO members of the V4CP, the incorporation of several of the agreed contributions was achieved, which was corroborated in the PyENSAN published document. From the perspective of CSOs, they identify certain weaknesses: lack of responsibility, unequal participation of key actors and lack of information and understanding of their role in the real organizational structure, inefficient budget allocation, inadequate and insufficient coordination between agencies and weak integration from the private sector and universities in response to this multisectoral problem. Together, these factors make the governance system fragile and inefficient to generate the desired results."03-11-2020: The target of this indicator remains at 3, CSOs applied the evaluation rubric and consider that no significant progress has been made to increase the score. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed government priorities. In this context, PyENSAN is left out of government plans, FNS strategies, programs and activities from the government are executed under a new regulatory framework, emergency decree PCM-030-2020 and not under PyENSAN, which was approved in 2019. Additionally, the Government assigns null or very limited responsibilities to the governance structure of SINASAN, especially to UTSAN, being one of the main actors identified to advocate on for being the entity in charge of the theme. There is an approved PyENSAN, but without a budget or plans for its execution. The CSOs consider that there is no political will to implement the PyENSAN , it seems that it was not part of the government agenda but part of international agreements as the PyENSAN is an initiative assisted by the "Impact, Resilience, Sustainability and Transformation of Food and Nutrition Security "(FIRST for its acronym in English) contract signed for the European Union and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to actualized FNS policies in 40 countries. Therefore, V4CP concentrated its advocacy efforts on UTSAN to highlight the role of FNS Municipal Tables, influence budget allocation through the study, analysis and presentation of its main findings on investment differentiated by FNS pillars: Concepción de María, Choluteca, Tambla, Lempira. Social media and radio campaign to promote the implementation of the PyENSAN and the rol of FNS Municipal Tables. The radio messages focus on: 1) Script 1: Guideline 1 PyENSAN, 2) Script 2: Guideline 4 PyENSAN, 3) Script 3: Guideline 5 PyENSAN, 4) Script 4: Guideline 7 PyENSAN, 5) Script 5: Guideline 9 PyENSAN; scheduled in 23 community radio stations in the North, South, Center and West parts of the country. Tw ..."IFPRI will carry out a study of the analysis of the 2016 budget and its consistency with the National Policy on Food and Nutrition Security 2006-2015, the study will be carried out based on the analysis of the budget expenditure analysis in FNS in Honduras. This study intends to have a starting study for: a) generate information with which it can be made political incidence with evidence that the 2016 budget is insufficient and is not consistent with the current policy, regardless of whether this policy is not appropriate and is the one to be renewed. b) generate the experience to transfer the capacities of future studies similar to CSOs. As the new inclusive policy is in force, a new study can be made to show its coherence with the planning and budget, which can be prepared by 2019 by the CSOs and SNV that would be trained by IFPRI and with its technical support . The methods of information gathering and measurement that IFPRI will be using will be parametric, agreed upon and defined jointly with them. It will determine an indicator for each sector later once you have clearly defined sectors that will be parsed." If the CSO are trained iby IFPRI in 2017, it is expected that for year 2018 CSOs can perform this analysis for coming years with the accompaniment of the SNV. 04-07-2018: Information will be provided by IFPRI, pending sending08-10-2019: The target for this indicator is not defined. IFPRI study on 2015-2017 FNS budget analysis and the 2016 study financed by the European Union "Impact Evaluation of the Policy, Programs and Projects on FNS in Regions 12 and 13" indicate that neither the FNS National Policy (PNSAN) nor the FNS National Strategy (ENSAN) have contributed substantially to reduce food insecurity. The main reasons for that are: a) The government did not assigned resources for their implementation, b) The policy and the strategy were not known by the actors that were supposed to implement them, c) There was not will to articulate the governmental actions to the guidelines and objectives of the law and strategy. The effectiveness in the use of resources was not as expected either, especially when compared with other countries. An expenditure level of 2.7-2.9% of GDP for FNS indicates that these are not central components of the development strategy, but compensatory measures within a model of development that emphasizes other axes. (Díaz-Bonilla and Centurión, IFPRI, August 2017). On the other hand, the FNS policy was approved by the Government in 2006 with effect until 2015. The FNS national strategy was approved in 2010 with effect until 2022 and the Honduras General Budget does not have specific budget lines assigned for the FNS issue. Therefore, we can say that the policy is not in force and that the budget does not comply with the lines of the structure and budget for the policy. As mentioned in previous indicators, a PyENSAN 2018-2030 is being updated, but it is not approved yet. Once the PyENSAN is approved and under implementation, a study can be carried out to inform about its degree of coherence with the planning and the budget.No goal will be included for this indicator since the PyENSAN is in its approval phase and in the preparation of the action plans for its subsequent implementation.28-04-2020: "There is no target for this indicator in 2019 given that the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy and Strategy (PyENSAN) was in its approval phase and in the construction of its action plans for each of the guidelines defined in the PyENSAN. The PyENSAN was approved and 2 action plans were elaborated in 2019 but they have not been implemented so far. The approved action plans are: a) FNS Action Plan (PLAN-SAN 2030) and b) the Nutrition Action Plan (PANH 2030). The National budget of the Republic of Honduras does not have specific budget lines assigned to address the FNS. Therefore, it can be said that the National Budget of the Republic does not comply with the structure and budget lines corresponding to the description of the policy. In the conclusions elaborated by IFPRI in the 2018 FNS budget report it is indicated that the FNS issues seem to lose relevance within the national debate. Instead, issues such as migration to the United States and violence prevention are gaining ground and therefore multilateral and bilateral financing. In order to maintain the relevance of FNS, greater synergies must be generated and complementarities sought. "No target defined for this indicator in 2020. In spite of it, many actions will be develop to try to influence budget allocation for FNS such as: Workshops to socialize the main findings of the budget analysis 2015 – 2019 as well as the findings of the Municipal budget analysis for FNS in two municipalities and the specific budget lines identified to allocate FNS funds. In addition, consistency of the allocation defined in the FNS Policy and Strategy 2018-2030 will be analysed. Key messages from these studies will be used in intensive campaign to show the benefits and impact of investment in FNS. CSOs will establish links with the public media to transmit their key messages.03-11-2020: There is no target for this indicator given that the National Policy and Strategy for Food and Nutrition Security (PyENSAN) approved in 2019, does not have a budget for its implementation. A) FNS Action Plan (PLAN-SAN 2030) and b) Nutritional Action Plan (PANH 2030) were prepared, which do not have a budget; The other action plans of the guidelines contained in PyENSAN have not been prepared either. The National Budget of the Republic of Honduras does not have specific budget lines assigned to attend the FNS. Therefore, it can be said that the National Budget does not comply with the structure and budget lines corresponding to the description of PyENSAN. CSOs consider that there is no political will to articulate government actions to PyENSAN guidelines. CSOs are developing a campaign to advocate for the implementation of PyENSAN and budget allocation to it. On the other hand, IFPRI developed the Study and Analysis of Differentiated Investment for FNS Pillars of Concepción de María, Choluteca and Tambla, Lempira with the support of CSOs. Sessions were held for the presentation and socialization of the results in a virtual way, with the participation of high-level municipal authorities, FNS Municipal Tables and CSOs authorities and technical staff of the South and West zone of Honduras, as well as representatives of UTSAN, COVISAN and others. The conclusions of the study show that: The investment considered in the Strategic Plan for Municipal Development of Tambla, Lempira, considered an average annual budget for 13 years well below the historically planned (49.4%), which indicates that investment in FNS will continue being low and therefore vulnerability to food insecurity will remain or perhaps worsen. The Concepción de María Strategic Plan does have an average annual budget similar to the one historically planned, which guarantees the investment in FNS during the six years that the plan will last, whose annual average of its projected budget is ..."Based on the 2016 budget analysis study and its consistency with the National Policy on Food and Nutrition Security 2006-2015, IFPRI will carry out an analysis corresponding to the coherence of the budget executed with the sectoral plans that are linked to FNS as: Health , Education, agriculture and livestock, social development and others that correspond with information at the macro level. It is also intended to generate the experience to transfer the capacities to the CSOs that participate in the program. IFPRI will transfer the capabilities to CSOs so that they can subsequently develop it with SNV with technical support from IFPRI by 2019. The methods of information gathering and measurement that IFPRI will be using will be parametric, agreed upon and defined jointly with them." If the CSO are trained iby IFPRI in 2017, it is expected that for year 2018 CSOs can perform this analysis for coming years with the accompaniment of the SNV. 04-07-2018: Information will be provided by IFPRI, pending sending08-10-2019: The target for this indicator is not defined.

Once the PyENSAN is approved and under implementation, a study can be carried out to inform about its degree of coherence with the planning and the budget. The 2017 budget project for the central administration and decentralized institutions amounts to L 228,688.1 million, which represented 46% of 2016 GDP at the time of budget approval. The budget of the Central Administration approved was L ...No target will be included for this indicator since the PyENSAN is not approved yet nor its actions plans have been developed.28-04-2020: "The target for this indicator was not defined. The National budget does not have a specific line for FNS so it can be said that it does not comply with the strategic guidelines of the PyENSAN. In the study conducted by the IFPRI ""FNS Budget 2018"": The fiscal deficit of the Central Government Administration of Honduras (GdH) was reduced from 7.9% of GDP in 2013, to 2.6% in 2018; less than the 3.2% target set in the last IMF Stand-By Agreement and the Fiscal Responsibility Law. Total Expenditure represented 38% of GDP in 2015, increasing to 45% in 2016, then lowering and maintaining around 40% in 2017 and 2018. The tax revenue covers 75% of the total expenditure and the rest is financed with external and internal debt. If the payment of principal and interest is subtracted from the total expenditure, the expenditure allocated to other activities (productive investment, social projects, education, health, climate change support, provision of public services, etc.) is reduced, even more since 2017, year in which the expenditures begins to fall. In the budget approved in 2018, tax revenues were underestimated, presenting them around 17% of GDP, when in fact, as of 2016, the tax pressure increased to 18% of GDP in 2018. The accrued expenditure of 2018 in nominal terms grew 8% compared to 2017 and in terms of GDP, it grew almost 2 percentage points. The budgetary allocation to FNS activities maintained a certain priority in the use of resources, despite successive cuts in spending in productive areas and rigidity in spending. Debt as a proportion of total spending went from representing 12% in 2016 of total spending to 14% in 2018, however, FNS spending remained constant in proportional terms as of 2016 (this reflects a prioritization effort of this type of spending by the government). However, as of 2017, the debt accelerates its growth rate both as a proportion of Total Expenditure and in terms of GDP. This whole situation reduces the budget space ...Target for this indicator is not defined. In spite of it, actions will be develop to try to influence budget allocation for FNS such as: Workshops to socialize the main findings of the budget analysis 2015 – 2019 as well as the findings of the Municipal budget analysis for FNS in two municipalities and the specific budget lines identified to allocate FNS funds.

Key messages from these studies will be used in intensive campaign to show the benefits and impact of investment in FNS. CSOs will establish links with the public media to transmit their key messages.03-11-2020: There is no target defined for this indicator, since the national budget does not have a specific line for the FNS issue, and there are not resources allocated for the implementation of PyENSAN. The deficit estimated by the government for the Central Administration, in the approved 2020 budget, is 1.5% of GDP. In 2019, the Central Bank of Honduras (BCH) lowered its growth estimates to about 2.9% for both years. The inflation rate remained at around 4%. In December 2019, the IMF approved the extension of the Standby Agreement for two years for a total amount of US $ 312m. In March 2020, all the resources to be disbursed in 2020 (US $ 143m) were used to support the government in its fight against COVID-19. In 2019, the Central Administration (CA) spending represents approximately 20% of GDP, if spending on principal and interest payments is subtracted (approximately 6.5% of GDP), the CA spending that can be allocated to social and infrastructure investment is reduced to 13.5% of GDP. In previous years, the loss of relative relevance of the FNS agenda was pointed out in the face of other social challenges such as migration to the United States, violence prevention, and the need to find synergies, since they are not antagonistic issues, but complementary. From the analysis of the execution of the 2019 budget, it is clear the budget reduction towards activities measured within FNS spending, as well as the lack of commitment to other social areas such as the city woman project or support for migrants. This reveals that the GoH, in its desire to contain public spending, does not fulfil its commitment to protect the most vulnerable sectors of its population. The reduction in social spending has relevance in the context of global recession due to COVID-19. The reallocation of resources from multilateral programs towards the fight against COVID-19 will leave vulnerable populations in an even deeper poverty situation, with needs that will grow exponentially ..."Based on the 2016 budget analysis study and its consistency with the National Policy on Food and Nutrition Security 2006-2015, IFPRI will carry out an analysis to determine the percentage of sector budgets dedicated to SAN in a sector-specific way, such as : Health, education, agriculture and livestock, social development and others that correspond. It is also intended to generate the experience to transfer the capacities to the CSOs that participate in the program, on the other hand there will be an accompaniment from the consultant IFPRI will contract for the elaboration of the budget analysis study to be elaborated it in 2019. The measurement methods that IFPRI will be using will be parametric, agreed upon and defined jointly with them. It will determine an indicator for each sector later once you have clearly defined sectors that will be parsed." If the CSO are trained iby IFPRI in 2017, it is expected that for year 2018 CSOs can perform this analysis for coming years with the accompaniment of the SNV. 04-07-2018: Information will be provided by IFPRI, pending sending08-10-2019: A target for this indicator is not defined, given that there is no a specific budget line for FNS. The study made by IFPRI in 2017 "The Budget for Food and Nutrition Security 2015-2017”, indicates that spending on FNS increased by 0.2% (14709.49 million lempiras) of the total allocation. IFPRI study divided the data into 5 groups: 1) Agricultural Development and Value Chains (the dimensions related to producers and value chains); 2) Rural and Regional Development; 3) Social Protection Networks (non-contributory); 4) Health and Nutrition; and 5) Climate Change and Natural Resources. The analysis above included the expenditure data of the Sectoral Cabinets (Governance and Decentralization, Development and Social Inclusion, Economic Development, Security and Defence, Productive Infrastructure, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Conduction and Economic Regulation, and Prevention Cabinet). It also tried to identify the FNS expenditures by group of entities: I. Entities that are not part of the Executive; II. Entities with affiliation to the Secretariat of the Presidency; and III. Entities without Affiliation to a Cabinet. The analysis is based on Finance Secretariat Expenditure Execution Reports. Accrued expense 2015: • Agricultural development and value chains: 3097.1 million lempiras% spending FNS 25.7 and % of total spending 2.3. • Rural and regional development: 4,923.9 million lempiras, 40.9% FNS spending and 3.6% of total spending. • Social protection networks: 1820.0 million lempiras, 15.1% FNS spending and 1.3% of total spending. • Health and Nutrition: 1231.3 million lempiras, 10.2% FNS spending and 0.9% of total spending. • Climate change and natural resources: 979.6 million lempiras, 8.1% FNS spending and 0.7% of total spending. Accrued expense 2016: • Agricultural development and value chains: 3840.4 million lempiras %FNS spending 26.2 and % of total spending 2.0. • Rural and regional development: 6,304.8 million lempiras, 43.1% F ...The target to be established for this indicator is the same that IFPRI reports since the increase or decrease of budget allocation is beyond the control of CSOs. The values are maintained and will be used to monitor the budget allocation once the PyENSAN is approved and under implementation.28-04-2020: "No target for this indicator was set, since there is no specific budget line for FNS. The study carried out by IFPRI in 2019 ""The Budget of Food Security and Nutrition 2018” indicates that the expenditure in FNS 2018 is 16,265.97 million lempiras and in 2017 it was 14,709.49 million lempiras, so there is a slight increase equivalent to 0.23% based on total expenditure (capital payments and public bank debt not included) and based on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 0.08%. IFPRI disaggregates the data into 5 groups: 1) Development agriculture and value chains: accrued expenditure 2018: L. 3,114.91 million compared to 2017: 3,266.03 result is a decrease of -L. 151.12 million lempiras.

The% of expenditure on FNS for 2018 is 11.07% in 2017, corresponding to 20.3%, with a decrease of -9.23%. In the case of% of public spending in 2018 of 0.93% and in 2017 1.7%, having a decrease of -0.77% and in the case of% of GDP in 2018 is 0.31% in 2017 of 0.55%, with a decrease of -0.24%. 4) Health and nutrition: the accrued expense of 2018 is L. 2,005.47 in 2017 L. 787.34 having a considerable increase of L. 1,218.13 million lempiras. The% of FNS expenditure for 2018 is 12.33% and in 2017 5. ...The target set in this indicator is the same as reported by IFPRI, since the increase or decrease in the FNS budget allocation is beyond the control of CSOs. IFPRI will prepare the budget document for FNS 2019.03-11-2020: No target is defined for this indicator, as there is no specific budget line for FNS. The study carried out by IFPRI in 2020 "The Budget for Food and Nutritional Security 2017-2020", indicates that the budget allocation for FNS activities was reduced, by little more, from HDL 1,500 m, representing a fall of almost 0.5% of the GDP (2.4% of GDP). SAN spending in 2019 represented, in terms of GDP, the lowest proportion since 2015 (in the period 2015-2018 it ranged between 2.7% and 3%). The need to keep spending cuts is hitting those most in need. This contradicts the commitment made by the government, with its citizens, and its commitments with the IMF, to protect the most vulnerable sectors. Spending in FNS 2018 is 16,265.97 million lempiras and in 2019 it was 14,664.24 million lempiras, so there is a decrease of -1.11% based on total spending (capital payments and public bank debt not included). The IFPRI study divided the data into 5 groups: 1) Agricultural development and value chains: 2018 accumulated expenditure: L. 3,114.91 million compared to 2019: 3,226.91 result is an increase of L. 112.00 million lempiras. 2018 % FNS expenditure is 19.15% and in 2019, 22.01 with an increase of 2.86% of total expenditure. 2) Rural and regional development: accumulated spending 2018: L.7969.46 million compared to 2019: 6536.47 decrease of -L. 1,432.99 million lempiras. 2018 % FNS expenditure is 48.99%compared to 44.57% in 2019 with a decrease of -4.42%. 3) Social protection nets: the accrued expenditure in 2018: L. 1,801.19 million lempiras compared to 2019 of L. 1705.96, shows a decrease of -L. 95.23 million lempiras. The 2018 % of FNS expenditure is 11.07% and in 2019 11.63%, corresponding to an increase of 0.56%. 4) Health and nutrition: the accrued expense in 2018 is L. 2,005.47and in 2019 is L. 2117.46, with an increase of L. 111.99 million lempiras. The 2018 % of FNS expenditure is 12.33% and in 2019 it is 14.44%, with an increase of 2.11% 5) Climate c ...With the purpose of being able to determine the improvement in the quality of the services in FNS, a participatory Methodology for the survey was prepared and 12 focus groups were realized in diverse zones of the country with people of the communities, 188 women and 35 men. In turn, community leaders were interviewed to representatives of state institutions to learn about the communities and services present in them. The most mentioned services in the focus groups were: School Snack, Bonus 10,000, Vaccination Brigades, Healthy School and Solidary Bag, services provided by the public sector; no private sector or academic services were found. On a scale of zero to twenty-four points, this indicator was averaged at 16.8 points, that is, an indicator of 70% of satisfaction with the service, according to the categories' score.There is no certainty that the goal established in 2017 has increased so this same score is reflected for 2018. Due to the problems that have arisen in the country due to the issue of the re-election of the president, it is not considered that there is an improvement in the quality of the FNS services, there may be a lot of disagreement in the community about the current situation in the country.08-10-2019: No significant changes were expected in this indicator, so the target of 10.3 established in the baseline remains. For 2018 measurement, the methodology used for the baseline was adjusted. data was gattered in 12 focus groups in the same counties, with the same actors as of the baseline which involved a total of 182 people (135 women-74.10% and 36 men -25.9%). on the same services evaluated, such as: 10,000 Bonus, Vaccination Brigade, School Snack, Comprehensive Child Care, Dengue Control, Zica and Chikunkunga, Healthy School, Attention of obstetric complications, Solidarity Bag, Better Life Program and decentralized health services, which are the services that people have greater access to and that vary according to geographical areas. The scale for the analysis of quality goes from 0 zero to 24 points. The indicator reached in 2018 an average score of 8 points which represent a 33% satisfaction with the services and a negative move from the 10.3 of the baseline. Five categories were used to evaluate the quality of the services: Relevance 61.2%, Efficiency 34.5%, Effectiveness 22.5%, impact 23.7% and sustainability 25%. In general, services are perceived to meet the needs of communities since the relevant category got the highest score. Efficiency (measures the perception on the administration of the services, how acceptable the management is) got a 34.5%. Lower values on effectiveness and impact may reflect the people fear that services will not be available in the future, or that services do not meet people´s expectations on their impact. Low satisfaction with the services may be also related to the perception of low coverage. However, It cannot be assumed with certainty why there was a decrease in the perception of people about the services provided by the government, but we can indicate some comments that emerged in the focus groups. People consulted consider that the services are good, but they do not arrive to all the population that needs ...There is no certainty that the target set for previous years have been achieved so the same target will be set for 2020. CSOs actions will be oriented to: a) Workshops and forums to strengthen the capacities of the Coordination Committee of the FNS municipal tables to influence the provision of FNS services by the state. b) Socialize with the Coordination Committee of the FNS municipal tables the main results of the studies carried out by V4CP 2017-2020. c) Participate in meetings organized by the municipal and regional FNS tables and promote the participation of the Coordination Committee of the FNS Municipal Tables. d) General forum and local workshops with key actors from the public and private sector, universities and other stakeholders to socialize the main findings of the Systematization of the CSO experiences in the implementation of the V4CP program and its main contributions to the FNS theme. e) Perception measurement on the degree of accessibility and quality of FNS services provided by the government. This final study will be facilitated by the same expert that facilitated the base line and intermediate measurements. V4CP/SNV team and partner CSOs play an important role in these studies.03-11-2020: A target had not been defined for this indicator, so it is unknown to date if there is any improvement in the quality of the services provided by the government in FNS services. Training was carried out to CSOs for the field survey for the final measurement and subsequent interpretation and dissemination of data, however, the process stopped in March due to the absolute curfew decreed by the Government of Honduras because of covid pandemic. The absolute curfew is maintained nationwide until August 23, the opening process will progress gradually. If so, field work will start in September. The study is being facilitated by the same thematic expert who prepared the baseline and the intermediate measurement. The CSOs carry out the survey in the field with the support of SNV which also monitor the processing and analysis of the data for the final reportWith the purpose of being able to determine the improvement in the accessibility of the services in FNS, a participatory Methodology for the survey was prepared and 12 focus groups were realized in diverse zones of the country with people of the communities, 188 women and 35 men. In turn, community leaders were interviewed to representatives of state institutions to learn about the communities and services present in them. At the same 24-point scale, this indicator averaged 16.9 points, that is, an indicator of 70% of satisfaction with the ease of accessing the service, according to the category score.An increase of 5% in the accessibility of FNS services has been projected, considering that the services will continue to be provided in 2018 and that given the political year that passed, more people had access to them and probably trying to calm the political situation, opportunity for more people to have FNS services could be given.08-10-2019: An increase of 5% in the accessibility of FNS services was expected, so the target set for 2018 was 10.92. For 2018 measurement, the methodology used for the baseline was adjusted. data was gattered in 12 focus groups in the same counties, with the same actors as of the baseline which involved a total of 182 people (135 women-74.10% and 36 men -25.9%). on the same services evaluated, such as: 10,000 Bonus, Vaccination Brigade, School Snack, Comprehensive Child Care, Dengue Control, Zica and Chikunkunga, Healthy School, Attention of obstetric complications, Solidarity Bag, Better Life Program and decentralized health services, which are the services that people have greater access to and that vary according to geographical areas. The scale for the analysis of accessibility goes from 0 zero to 24 points. The indicator reached in 2018 an average score of 7.9 points which represent a 33% satisfaction with the accessibility of the services. To assess the accessibility of the services, three categories were used: material limitations 34.4%, economic limits 32.3% and sociocultural limitations 31.5%. In general, there is no major difference in the score of the three categories, however based on these results and the socio-economic characterization of the communities consulted, the low satisfaction with the accessibility of services may be related to sociocultural limitations, for the complexity of the required procedures and the perception of the degree of inclusion with which the service is provided. It cannot be assumed with certainty why there was a decrease in the perception of people about the accessibility of services provided by the government, but we can indicate some comments that emerged in the focus groups. People consulted consider that the services are good, but they do not arrive to all the population that needs them and that some services are provided more frequently in the times of the election period. They also consider that these serv ...There is no certainty that the target set for previous years have been achieved so the same target will be set for 2020 . The main action planned for 2020 is the “Perception measurement on the degree of accessibility and quality of FNS services provided by the government”. This final study will be facilitated by the same expert that facilitated the base line and intermediate measurements. V4CP/SNV team and partner CSOs play an important role in these studies03-11-2020: A target had not been defined for this indicator, so it is unknown to date if there is any improvement in the accessibility of the services provided by the government in FNS services.

The CSOs carry out the survey in the field with the support of SNV which also monitor the processing and analysis of the data for the final report"Currently, no alliances have been generated from the CSO platform, however, CSOs are holding meetings internally to socialize the program with their partner organizations and relevant stakeholders that are directly related to some programs and projects they are currently executing. It is hoped that some alliances may be generated in the future. Generating alliances and engaging the active participation of several actors is necessary to influence a FNS policy. Potential partners to support advocacy actions include other NGOs working in the FNS topic, universities, technical schools, international organizations such as the World Bank, USAID, the European Union, the Canadian Agency for International Cooperation and others. A strong work is expected in the area of lobbying and socialization of the program to ensure that alliances can be established with other CSOs interested in a FNS inclusive policy. 20-03-2018: "CSOs have not build formal alliances (no signed agreements) even though lobbying and socialization of the program has been carried out with many actors and relevant FNS information has been shared with them. On the other hand, CSOs have bbeen invited to participate in different networks and tables at local and regional level: CSOs held internal meetings to socialize the program with their partner organizations and relevant stakeholders directly related to some actual programs and projects. CDH strengthened relations with Lenca Indigenous Independent Movement of La Paz Honduras-MILPAH and UTC within the framework of the consultation sessions held in the La Paz area, they were the focal points of the consultations and supported the calls. They have also strengthened relations with the Commonwealth of Garífuna Municipalities of Honduras - MAMUGAH and with the GAT - Territorial Support Group - (multi-stakeholder space linked to the Ayuda en Acción project) who managed the calls for the talks. CDH, ASONOG and RDS are part of the Dialogue Driving Group for the Human Right to Food. This is a very important space that should be consolidated and linked to the processes related to the program. This space was created at the beginning of the FNS Route program of RDS to work in the Forum ""For the Human Right to Food in Honduras"". The group has been maintained and strengthened as a space for reflection on the issue of food sovereignty in which different organizations linked to the field participate. ASONOG and RDS, through the work they have been doing in the regional and municipal tables, managed to be invited to be part of the Board of Directors of the FNS Table R.03 Occidente and the FNS R.12 Central region, respectively.""It is expected to build alliances at municipal, regional and national level in 2018 to coordinate actions, exchange information and obtain support for the implementation of the advocacy plan with the new actors of the Food and Nutritional Security sector, with organizations and social movements with which there are matching points in the FNS theme. The allies that could support the advocacy actions would be other NGOs working on the issue, universities, international organizations such as the World Bank, the United States Agency for International Development -USAID, European Union -UE, United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture-FAO among others. Additionally, bilateral alliances with organizations, platforms and networks that CSOs have built individually could contribute to the advocacy processes of updating an inclusive FNS policy."08-10-2019: The target of the indicator was to generate 2 formal alliances and it was possible to sign two alliances: one with some community radio stations in the southern region: Radio Voices Aramecina, Morolica Estereo, Stereo Pespire, Choluteca Triunfeña and Zapotillo Orocuina. The second one with Radio Lepaterique in Francisco Morazán. The purposes of the alliances are: a) Socialization of the results of studies and/or research on the FNS and RE issues with emphasis on improved stoves for the fight against poverty. Through mechanisms agreed by the parties. b) Exchange of publications, information and experiences. c) Promotion for the generation of public policies on the topics of FNS and RE-with emphasis on improved stoves. d) Promotion of the adoption of improved stoves for the fight against poverty. e) Any other collaboration of mutual interest, these alliances were promoted by RDS. Other formal alliances that support the actions of V4CP were established but no documents were signed with the Committee for the Defence of Honduran Consumers (CODECOH) and the Commonwealth of Northern Choluteca (MANORCHO) promoted by RDS; National Pedagogical University Francisco Morazán (UPNFM) promoted by ASONOG. ASONOG has strengthened relationships with other actors such as: a) Mennonite Social Action Commission (CASH), member of ASONOG that facilitate to join efforts to create the FNS Table of Tambla in Lempira, which is chaired by the Municipal Corporation; In the case of Tomalá in Lempira, CASH and a municipal councillor will follow up and support the process of activating the FNS table, b) links with west Commonwealth, with the ETEA Foundation, local governments, municipal health commissions, and the Ministry of Health that have shown interest in the process of updating the PyENSAN. RDS joint efforts with Association of Development Perspírense (ADEPES) to advocate for FNS municipal policies in San Antonio de Flores and San Isidro in Choluteca. CDH strengthened i ...Alliances were built the previous three years. These allances are expected to be maintained and strengthened for the rest of the program. 2019 action plans of the CSOs are focused on advocacy actions to achieve medium and long-term results. Main actions focus on: monitoring the implementation of the PyENSAN and influence its action plans; advocacy actions in related secretariats of state and other key actors; socialization of evidence, monitoring and accompaniment of municipal and regional FNS tables, among others. It is expected that new alliances will emerge but that they will be conjunctural by the actions to be carried out at the municipal, regional and national levels in 2019. So, CSOs do not consider a need to establish a new target for this indicator.28-04-2020: "A target for this indicator was not set in view that the alliances were built in previous three years. CSOs efforts concentrated in maintaining and strengthening the alliances. However, as a result of the capacity building and accompaniment work done by partner CSOs with the FNS municipal tables, a Coordination Committee of FNS Municipal Tables (CCMMSAN) was organized with the objective of strengthening thematic and advocacy capabilities in its members and develop advocacy actions to improve the FNS status of the Honduran population, particularly population of the municipalities they represent. This Coordination Committee of FNS Municipal Tables (CCMMSAN) has 5 members that represent the FNS Municipal Tables of: El Triunfo y San José – Choluteca; Ocotepeque – Ocotepeque; Tambla-Lempira; Las Lajas - Comayagua. The functions of the Coordination Committee of FNS Municipal Tables (CCMMSAN) are: 1) Establish fluid and effective communication mechanisms with the FNS municipal tables (MMSAN). 2) Represent MMSAN before municipal, regional and/or national entities, as well as social organizations and movements related to the FNS. 3) Share FNS information with MMSAN and social organizations interested in the subject. 4) Maintain permanent contact with civil society organizations, international cooperation, programs and projects related to FNS. A mapping of municipal FNS tables was carried out nationwide, so far 22 municipal tables were identified in various municipalities of the country in the departments of Ocotepeque: Belén Gualcho, San Francisco and Nueva Ocotepeque; Lempira: La Iguala, Tambla and Talgua; Copán: Santa Rita; Yoro: Sulaco and Victoria; Comayagua: Las Lajas and La Libertad; Choluteca: El Triunfo, Concepción de María, El Corpus, Namasigue, San Isidro, San José, Orocuina, San Antonio de Flores, Pespire, Nacaome; Valle: Nacaome and Francisco Morazán: Lepaterique. At the southern region level, it was possible to establish alliances with t ...No target is set for 2020. However, the Coordination Committee of FNS Municipal Tables (CCMMSAN) will be accompanied and monitored, accordingly with the work plan that will be developed for the rest of the V4CP program. Partner CSOs expressed interest in continuing the support to the Committee once the program ends. This is because the MMSANs are the legitimate voice of the communities, they are the ones who work directly with the communities and know their realities. Therefore, it is necessary to seek their legitimacy and recognition for them to be taken into account. Article 19 of the FNS Law states that: "The Secretariats of State of the Presidential Office, the Ministry of Interior and Population, the Ministry of Social Development and the Technical Secretariat of External Planning, shall establish mechanisms for the creation of the FNS Regional and Municipal Tables, in accordance with the Regional Councils established in the Law Planning System for the establishment of a Country Vision and the Adoption of a Nation Plan for Honduras". Despite the above, the law does not indicate how these Tables should be formed. The rights and responsibilities of these tables have not been incorporated into the National Food and Nutrition Security System (SINASAN). Most have been made up of cooperation programs and/or projects executed in different areas of the country.03-11-2020: No target was set for this indicator. The Coordination Committee of FNS National Municipal Tables Network (CCMMSAN) has been accompanied, in accordance with the work plan prepared at the beginning of the year. Advocacy actions are carried out to seek legitimacy and recognition so that they are taken into account and incorporated into the internal structure of the National Food and Nutrition Security System. Spaces for analysis and discussion have been generated on the subject, for which a legal analysis of the agreements, treaties and the FNS Law 2011 in Honduras has been analysed and discussed with the CCMMSAN. ASONOG and CDH accompanied the members of CCMMSAN on visits to the Municipal Councils of Sinuapa and Concepción Ocotepeque. In both cases, the municipal mayors showed interest in forming the FNS Municipal Table and participate in the FNSMT Network. In the same way, visits were made to the Trinational and Sensenti Valley commonwealth, made up of 3 municipalities: San Marcos, San Francisco and Mercedes (MANVASEN), they were willing to coordinate joint actions in FNS. In the same way, in the southern region, visits were made to the municipal mayors of Corpus, Orocuina, Apasilagua and Santa Ana de Yusguare, with the latter, as a result of this visit, the FNS Municipal Table was formed, the board of directors was elected, in a community assembly attended by 47 people (23 women and 24 men) representing the Water Board, the Board of Trustees, the Municipal Commissioner, the FNS Regional Network of Municipal Tables and the Committee of the FNS National Network of Municipal Tables. Leaders of the FNS Municipal Tables and V4CP made a context analysis of the governmental decreed PCM 030-2020 and its effects on financing options proposed by the government to agroindustrial companies and small producers, on CSOs and V4CP work and outcomes.

However, the analysis process took longer time than it was expected to be. It was finished by the end of December 2017. It caused the CSOs lost the opportunity to disseminate the research in 2017. Another research was FAO’s (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) research about integrating food security, nutrition, and good governance in district development planning through advocacy, social mobilization, and capacity strengthening.For the 2018, there will be 5 research reports which are; 1) Budget tracking study 2) Mapping of FNS policy study 3) Stunting and the yearly trends 4) Interconnected approach to food, climate, and sustainability study 5) Private sector scoping study28-04-2019: There were 4 evidence made available to CSOs which are 1) FNS policy review 2)Lesson learned from Oelnasi village that conducted by Bengkel Appek with FNS forum to advocate the district government and 3) East Lombok Stunting Survey by IFPRI.

There will be only one activity dedicated to budget allocation (participation in public hearings for budget allocations in parliament and Bappeda (Regional Planning and Development Agency))28-04-2019: Based on budget tracking research, here it is the details of FNS related budget allocation Manggarai > 2016 : 21.421.963.131, 2017 : 18.323.689.321, 2018 : 49.007.070.702 (2016 to 2018 > 128.7%) Kupang > 2016 : 85.701.926.863, 2018 : 109.094.765.219 (2016 to 2018 > 27.3%) Lombok Utara > 2016 : 76.684.956.570, 2017 : 100.130.970.397, 2018 : 99.336.015.263 (2016 to 2018 > 29.5%) Lombok Timur > 2016 : 87.001.687.712, 2017 : 167.882.528.027 (2016 to 2017 > 92.9%) Flores Timur > 2016 : 54.657.113.766, 2017 : 54.656.934.822 (2016 to 2017 > 0%) For the crop diversification, production and dietary diversification are under pillar 1 and 2 in the FNS district action plan, therefore the proportion of those pillars compare to whole FNS budget are: Manggarai > 2016 : 42.7 % , 2018 : 85.99% Kupang > 2016 : 57.9%, 2017 : 37.95% Lombok Utara > 2016 : 34.1% , 2018 : 61.6% Lombok Timur > 2016 : 89.6% , 2017 : 94.2% Flores Timur : we still did not get the complete data per pillar, therefore we could not calculate this Therefore, these are the details for increased percentage for relative annual budget: Manggarai : 2016 to 2018 > 43.2% Kupang : 2016 to 2017 > -19.95% Lombok Utara : 2016 to 2018 > 27.5% Lombok Timur : 4.6% Those data was collected under budget tracking research by IFPRI, Pattiro, and CSOs. The report has not finalised yet because CSOs faced some challenges to collect the data especially for expenditure data in the beginning which made the delay in the report. The increase budget allocation could be attributed as one of the results of CSOs' work which advocated for stunting issue since 2016. In addition, stunting issue is a current top priority issue in the national. Therefore, it might influence the increase in the budget allocation also.Currently, the target is set at 2% increase in budget allocation for pillar 1 and 2 on food and nutrition sector. CSOs will more advocate the government to use the budget efficiently rather than for increasing the budget.21-04-2020: It was range from -19.95% to 43.2%.

Also, CSOs will advocate for the utilisation of village fund for the targeted programme in stunting reduction and prevention30-11-2020: Due to COVID-19 situation, there is a major budget re-allocation in this period. Therefore, it is hard for us to get the information about the 2021 budget allocation of FNS for all four areas. Also, FNS budget is separated in several agencies. Then, CSOs did not conduct the budget tracking research this year.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0.

A new/adjusted legislative framework is considered 2. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been drafted 3. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR framework detrimental to issue has been prevented 4. New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforced19-03-2018: The CSOs have encouraged the establishment of regulation and framework as the formal base to support food and nutrition flag-ship program and forum. However, this framework has been adopted, but not yet applied or enforced optimally. It is expected to be applied in 2018. For instance, Konsepi encouraged the government to have flag-ship program plan on poverty reduction (Program Pengentasan Kemiskinan) with one focus on food and nutrition that will be implemented in 2018. It was already adopted, but not applied and enforced optimally (score : 3). Transform also had an effort to advocate the Mid-Term Village Development Planning (RPJMDes). It was made available and incorporated the gender issue as well as planning for food and nutrition security such as improving capacity of community, food diversification at household level, and monitoring visit to Posyandu (community health clinic)). It was already adopted and available in the planning, but not enforced yet (score : 3). Therefore the average score is 3.The implementation of poverty reduction flag-ship program on food and nutrition security issue in Lombok Timur will be implemented in 2018 and supported by Konsepsi (score : 4). Transform will support government in enforcing and implementing RPJMDes (village plan) in Lombok Utara, which incorporated food and nutrition security issues including its gender aspect (score : 4). Therefore, it is expected that the average score is 4.28-04-2019: The CSOs have encouraged the establishment of regulation and framework as the formal base to support food and nutrition flag-ship program and forum. The framework has been applied and enforced, but still not yet equally applied. For instance, Konsepi assisted a flag-ship program on stunting reduction and poverty reduction (Program Pengentasan Kemiskinan) with one focus on food and nutrition piloted in 10 priority villages. Next, they will use lesson learned from the intervention to scale up to another village (score : 4). Transform also had an effort to advocate the Mid-Term Village Development Planning (RPJMDes). It was made available and incorporated the gender issue as well as planning for food and nutrition security such as improving capacity of community, food diversification at household level, and monitoring visit to Posyandu (community health clinic). It was already adopted and available in the planning, but not enforced yet because the earthquake (score : 3). Also, Flores timur has the flag-ship programme called "Gempur Stunting" (stunting reduction program). The budget has already allocated for all of the sub-district. However, the implementation still could not be evaluated whether it will be equally applied. It will be evaluated once the government starts the implementation (score : 3)it is expected that average score is 4 for all of the flagship programme in the next year. The lesson learned from several pilot project area could be replicate to other areas in the districts.21-04-2020: The CSOs have encouraged the establishment of regulation and framework as the formal base to support food and nutrition flag-ship program and forum. The framework has been applied and enforced, but still not yet equally applied. For instance, Konsepi assisted a flag-ship program on stunting reduction and poverty reduction (Program Pengentasan Kemiskinan) with one focus on food and nutrition piloted in 10 priority villages and with the additional villages from government up to 32 villages. Next, they will use lesson learned from the intervention to scale up to another village (score : 4). Transform also had an effort to advocate the stunting reduction movement in Lombok Utara which followed up by the several flag-ship programme including moringa plantation movement, agriculture product revitalisation, and village fund optimalisation for stunting reduction and prevention (score: 4). Also, Flores timur and part as the results of YPPS's advocacy work has the flag-ship programme called "Gempur Stunting" (Fighting Together Against Stunting - stunting reduction program) and "Gerobak Cinta" which is the community-based supplementary feeding programme . The budget has already allocated for all of the sub-district. Also, "Gerobak Cinta" targeted all of the under 2 children who are stunted(short, very short) and wasted (thin, very thin) based on the by name by address data in EPPGBM (nutrition data management) and pregnant women who suffers from Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), However, the intervention is not yet target other group in community that plays significant roles for community nutrition status such as adolescent and school age children (score : 4.5). Then, for Manggarai, they have the programme namely "lonto leok" which is the socialisation programme for stunting through the cultural house and the capacity building for health cadre in the villages. However, it is still not equally applied (score : 4). In Kupang, several villages authorities who hav ...it is expected that average score is still 4.1 for all of the regulations or flagship programmes in the next year.

The framework has been applied and enforced, but still not yet equally applied. For instance, Konsepsi and East Lombok District continued to monitor the implementation of stunting prevention and reduction movement programme through annual stunting meeting (Rembug stunting) which led directly by the head of district. (score : 4). Transform also had an effort to advocate the stunting reduction movement in North Lombok which followed up by the several flag-ship programme including moringa plantation movement, agriculture product revitalisation, honey trigona development and village fund optimalisation for stunting prevention and reduction programme (score: 4). Also, East Flores and part as the results of YPPS's advocacy work has the flag-ship programme called "Gempur Stunting" (Fighting Together Against Stunting - stunting reduction program) and "Gerobak Cinta" which is the community-based supplementary feeding programme .

However, the implementation is still not equally applied due to cultural barrier. Then, the intervention is not yet target other group in community that plays significant roles for community nutrition status such as adolescent and school age children (score : 4.5). In Kupang, the current framework of district-medium term planning document is very related to food nutrition security. It could be seen from their target for land optimalisation and nutrious food consumption behaviour. It is implemented through 2 programmes which are the increased food security and empow ...19-03-2018: "There were three new/adjusted regulations and framework developed to support the implementation of gender and climate change sensitive food and nutrition flag-ship program. It includes the RPJMDes (sensitive gender) with planning on food and nutrition security in Lombok Utara District, framework for the establishment of flag-ship program with the focus on food and nutrition issues in Lombok Timur District, and Framework to revitalize the food forum into food and nutrition forum that will dealt with climate change issues in Flores Timur. Those frameworks have already been adopted, but not enforced yet. CSOs were engaged in the discussion and consultation meetings to draft these frameworks and advocated the regulation to be adopted and implemented."It is expected to have two more policies, regulations or framework (e.g., for Kupang and Manggarai District) adopted and enforced to support climate change sensitive food and nutrition flag-ship program on improving crop diversification and production, as well as dietary diversification.28-04-2019: There were three new/adjusted regulations and framework developed to support the implementation of gender and climate change sensitive food and nutrition flag-ship program. It includes the RPJMDes (sensitive gender) with planning on food and nutrition security in Lombok Utara District, framework for the establishment of flag-ship program with the focus stunting reduction and FNS issue in Lombok Timur District, and Framework to revitalize the food forum into food and nutrition forum that will dealt with climate change issues in Flores Timur. In addition, there was the framework for "gempur stunting"programme in Flores Timur which gave attention to local food, revitalisation of Posyandu to reduce stunting prevalence.It is expected to have two more policies, regulations or framework (e.g., for Kupang and Manggarai District) adopted and enforced to support climate change and GESI sensitive food and nutrition flag-ship program on improving crop diversification and production, as well as dietary diversification, and stunting reduction. ​21-04-2020: There were five new/adjusted regulations and framework adopted and developed to support the implementation of gender and climate change sensitive food and nutrition flag-ship program. It includes: 1. Bupati's regulation for village's role on stunting reduction and prevention (No.27 year 2019) in Flores Timur 2. Decision Letter (SK) on task force of Gender Mainstreaming in Lombok Timur 3. Bupati's regulation on integrated stunting reduction efforts in Lombok Utara (No. 16 year 2019) 4. Village regulation (Oelnasi) in Kupang District about cattle management to support food security 5. Bupati's regulation on stunting reduction and prevention in Manggarai (No. 24 year 2019) However, the climate change sensitive aspect is not equally applied in the regulation/framework because CSOs have determined that while they have some capacity in gender and social inclusion and are working to incorpoate those two issues on their advocacy works, their capacity to incorporate climate change aspects is far too limited. Consequently, CSOs will not be focusing on climate change aspects. Only some of CSOs which are Transform and Konsepsi conducted the research in NTB Province about FNS including climate change aspect and still trying to incoporate that in the province FNS action plan (RAD-PG) - see above KL.1.2 indicatorCSOs will not focus on to advocate the new regulation in the last year of the programme, but the will try to push for the finalisation of FNS action plan (RADPG), monitor the programme that has been running, and collect the evidence for the lesson learned30-11-2020: There are no new/adjusted regulations and framework adopted and developed this year (except RADPG/FNS action plan - see indicator K.L.1 above) because CSOs focused on the finalisation of the FNS action plan (RADPG)19-03-2018: There was no detrimental regulation to the interest of CSOsDuring the implementation of the advocacy activities, it will be identified from existing policies, regulations or frameworks which detrimental to interest of CSO, new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR new suggested framework detrimental to issue has been prevented.28-04-2019: There was no detrimental regulation to the interest of CSOsDuring the implementation of the advocacy activities, it will be identified from existing policies, regulations or frameworks which detrimental to interest of CSO.21-04-2020: There was no detrimental regulation to the interest of CSOsDuring the implementation of the advocacy activities, it will be identified from existing policies, regulations or frameworks which detrimental to interest of CSO30-11-2020: There was no detrimental regulation to the interest of CSOsService provision are available such as land extensification, strengthen farmer capacity through training and assitance, subsidized fertilizer for farmer, food self reliance, support for good seeds for farmer group).

We work together with IFPRI and over 50 CSOs to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and influence decision-makers with solid and contextualized evidence to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices. For this specific project in Indonesia, our advocacy activities focus on Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH).We aim to contribute to achieving universal access to sanitation, the national target for 2019 as set by the Indonesian government. This will be achieved through advocating for the prioritization of sanitation, the increased provision of affordable, inclusive and sustainable sanitation services by local governments and private sector, and district-wide implementation of the STBM programme (a community-wide sanitation approach) to contribute to the elimination of open defecation at scale.SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV IndonesiaSNV IndonesiaAkvo Foundationmaritonang@snv.orgJl.

WASH baseline report 10-01-2018: The baseline report was conducted by V4CP team together with CSOs. The baseline consists of a stratified household survey measuring basic wealth information and sanitation and hygiene indicators as defined in the Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All (SSH4A) results framework. Following are the impact and outcome indicators collected through the baseline survey: 1. Access to improved sanitation facilities 2. Hygiene use & maintenance of facilities 3.

Sanifoam research was conducted by SNV and two others external consultant. This report is used by CSO to determine the opportunity point for advocacy and help health agency for their BCC strategy related to open defecation behaviorThere will be 5 evidences based knowledge product available for CSO in 2018: 1) Sanitation supply chain research 2) Sanitation governance research 3) Community-based Monitoring and evaluation research 4) Scoping study about private sector 5) Lessons learned about STBM development in Indonesia which will be provided by SNV and selected other external consultants30-04-2019: There are two research (report and brief) reports made available to CSOs for 2018 which are sanitation supply chain and sanitation governance research. In this quarter, Ministry of Health published Riskesdas 2018 (basic health survey results) that provide information on latest sanitation status. The evidence helps CSO in further boosting government commitment in achieving universal access on sanitation. There are two other research which are private sector engagement on Wash and Sustaining ODF towards safely managed sanitation research which still in the finalisation process and will be shared in the beginning of 2019. Then, community based monitoring and evaluation research was cancelled due to effectivity reasonThere will be 4 knowledge products available to CSOs in 2019 which are: 1) Private sector engagement on WASH study 2) Sustaining ODF towards safely managed sanitation study 3) Evidence creation that will be led by PKBI : lesson learned of ODF achievements and challenges from 2 sub-districts 4) Evidence creation that will be led by YKWS : Scaling up ODF achievement study21-04-2020: There are 4 of evidences that made available to support the advocacy activities. These pieces of evidence which are private sector engagement on WASH, sanitation in coastal community, rapid technical assessment for fecal sludge management, and lesson learned of ODF achievement. Beside the private sector research, MB, YKWS, and PKBI conducted the research in collaboration with the government. Therefore, it was easier to influence the government to accelerate the ODF achievement and think beyond ODF and start to prepare to achieve safely managed sanitation.There will be one additional research which is lesson learned of the advocacy activity for ODF achievement. This is the last year of the project, so we will disseminate our lesson learned throughout the project towards wider audience30-11-2020: There is no additional research because it is the last year project. We are currently developing the lesson learned book both for FNS and WASH to disseminate the project's learning to the wider audiences. It will be disseminated after August 2020There is one websites available on Sanitation (STBM M&E portal, sanition policy, technology, white sanitation guide book) 1. http://www.stbm-indonesia.org/) In half year There will be 3 portals/websites accessible for CSOs that generate evidence for STBM: 1.

For reporting purposes the scores of all policy or decision makers will be aggregated; then the average score (the total score / number of assessed policy or decision makers) on the indicator will be determined and reported on. ConfidentialConfidential19-03-2018: confidentialconfidential30-04-2019: The number of policy makers that demonstrate increased support for sanitation issues are at least 14 people from those four districts based on policy maker rating assessment tool. The policy makers includes local government from Bappeda, Health Agency, Village empowerment agency, and Bupati (Head of District). The new stakeholders that demonstrate increased support in 2018 is District Secretary and Vice Bupati. Most of them supported sanitation issue through verbal communication and followed up by the real action depends on their role and responsibility to support this issue. For instance, initiate the meeting related to STBM, advocated the village government to allocate budget for STBM implementation, and prioritize sanitation issue in as the district targetNext year target is set at 10 where at least 2 additional policy makers/decision makers from each district and province that demonstrate increased support for sanitation issue (Total 10 persons: 2 people from each district, 2 from province).21-04-2020: The number of policy makers that demonstrate increased support for sanitation issues are at least 21 people from those four districts based on policy maker rating assessment tools. The policy makers includes local government from Bappeda, Health Agency, Village empowerment agency, and even Bupati (Head of District). The new stakeholders that demonstrate increased support in 2019 are Bupati from scaling up areas which are Metro City, Lampung Tengah District, Lampung Barat District, Way Kanan District, and Pasawaran. Most of them supported sanitation issue through verbal communication and followed up by real action such as the establishment of Bupati's regulation. Also, the legislative in Pringsewu increased their support which could be seen from their initiative to make sustainble STBM regulation. For the others, mostly the stakeholders came from various agency such as planning agency, health agency, village empowerment agency, and education. They demonstrated the support with verbal expression and various actions depends on their role and responsibility to support this issue. For instance, initiate the meeting related to STBM, advocated the village government to allocate budget for STBM implementation, and prioritize sanitation issue in as the district targetNext year is the last year of implementation, and also 3 out of 4 district areas of the programme have alreacy achieved ODF status. Therefore, the target is set at 8 where at least 2 additional policy makers/decision makers from each district demonstrate sanitation issue. However, we will not focus again on ODF achievement except for Padang Pariaman, but mostly on their support to keep monitor the behavior change for maintaining ODF status30-11-2020: The number of policy makers that demonstrate increased support for sanitation issues are at least 5 people from those four districts based on policy maker rating assessment tools. There is no significant increase because it is the last of the programme, and most of the key policy makers has already supported the sanitation issue and STBM which led to the ODF achievement in 3 districts initial area. The policy makers includes the head of health city forum and assistant 1 of district secretary in Padang Pariaman, the head of division in province planning agency and health agency in Lampung Province. The new district leader that demonstrate increased support in 2020 are Vice Bupati from Pesesir Barat which was advocated by YKWS. Most of them supported sanitation issue through verbal communication and followed up by real action such as the establishment of Bupati's regulation, giving input in the annual pleno meeting for planning, and support the follow up action plan after the programme finished.from 4 districts (4 CSOs) there are active 24 sanitation bussiness (enterpreneur) from 122 people trained (about 19% are active) and 4 financial institutions from about 15 financial institutions involved in delivery of sanitation service. The involvement include providing latrine package, act as health cader, material vendor, and sanitarian 20 percent increased from baseline, so expected total of institutions involved is 34 (28+6) 19-03-2018: There were nine new sanitation business and MFIs in 2017. It consist of five new village state-owned enterprise which do sanitation business in Pringsewu and 1 Bumdes in Lampung Selatan and 1 village credit institution (KMN Pematang Panjang) in Sijunjung. There are 2 new sanitation entrepreneur in P.Pariaman which serve latrine production and selling, including service to build latrine and septic tank. The CSOs contributed to this achievement through advocating the implementation and spreading the awareness within business sector related to the ODF target. They also made several meeting with the local entrepreneur to present about business opportunity from sanitation sector. One of the factor that influence the increasing number of sanitation business is the enforcement and mainstreaming the regulation that related to acceleration of sanitation access and ODF target20 percent increased from last year on sanitation business and MFIs especially in Lampung Selatan, P. Pariaman, and Sijunjung30-04-2019: There is one new batch trained for sanitation business which consist of 15 people in Sijunjung. In the last quarter of 2018, CSO were optimized the existing sanitation entrepreneur and MFI. CSO in Sijunjung (PKBI) were facilitated the establishment of the new sanitation business with cross-learning to Pringsewu and advocated the necessity of affordable and accessible supply after the demand created. YKWS and Mitra Bentala assisted the existing sanitation business to further develop their business.20 percent increased from last year on sanitation business and MFIs especially for P.Pariaman. Currently, there is one active sanitation entreprneur in P. Pariaman. Therefore, it will expexted that one active sanitation entrepreneur could engage more and influence people to be sanitation entrepreneur21-04-2020: There is one new batch trained for sanitation business which consist of 18 people in Padang Pariaman. However, there were still only 3 people collaborated with their own BUMNAG (village-owned enterprise) and produced the latrine. CSO in Padang Pariaman (LP2M) facilitated the establishment of the new sanitation business with cross-learning with Pringsewu and Sijunjung sanitation entrepreneur. They also advocated multi-stakeholders about the necessity of affordable and accessible supply after the demand created.This is the last year of the programme. Therefore, CSOs will not focus on increasing the new sanitation business. However, they will focus more on the activeness of the sanitation entrepreneur and link it with the others to create sharing learning platform30-11-2020: There is no additional sanitation entrepreneur and MFIs in four areas. However, the existing santiation entrepreneurs are still produce the latrine for their area and neighbouring district.Percentage is based on absolute increase in budget allocationThe alocation budget so far for STBM program from District Health Office in Sijunjung District (West Sumatera) in 2016 is 2953 EUR. Information of alocation budget from relevant institution is still process of coordination by CSO. The percentage of increase/decrease annual budget will be calculted in 2017. It can be accessed on 2017. Budget and expenditure report will be presented by Government around April. Baseline will be done after April 2017 Estimated target for next year is set based on STBM allocation budget from DHO. This target is also supported by Government as National target for achieving 100% universal access to sanitation in 2019 19-03-2018: The result (increase or decrease) were vary in four district since most of most of the STBM implementation budget were came from national government special allocation fund (DAK) to support Puskesmas's operational (non-physical) cost. Most of the budget used for STBM triggering process in community is from that government special operational support fund (BOK). Therefore, the use of fund for STBM triggering process were depends on each Puskesmas .The increase of the budget allocation from 2017 to 2018 ranging from 0% until 200% due to additional fund for to implement Pamsimas/STBM program at selected village since the access for sanitation is one of the national priority, and government increased the number of village in each district that eligible to received Pamsimas and STBM village fund. For instance, one district in West Sumatra increased their pamsimas village from 11 (2017) to 22 (2018), so the budget allocation increased too. Similar for other district in Lampung who increased the STBM budget allocation up to 200%. Another district in West Sumatra did not increase their special operational support fund (BOK), but they increased the budget allocation for STBM in health agency for 30%. On the other hand, one district in Lampung decreased the STBM budget allocation for STBM after achieving the ODF District status, so they could prepare and allocate more for Post-ODF strategy and the sludge management preparation for 2018. Overall, there are increasing of the budget allocation for STBM and sanitation programme which might be influenced and supported by national target to achieve 100% sanitation access in 20192% increase budget allocation on STBM implementation especially from Health Agency budget and the amount of BOK fund that allocated for STBM village30-04-2019: Sijunjung budget for 2017 : IDR 87.000.000, 2018 : IDR 130.000.000, 2019 : IDR 26.000.000 (2016 to 2018 : -70%) P.Pariaman budget for 2017 : IDR 26.000.000, 2018 : IDR 5.000.000, 2019 : IDR 5.000.000 (2016 to 2018 : -80%) Pringsewu : - 34.3% There are significant decrease for the budget because most of the portion for STBM activity will be done through village funds (public fund from national level as the special allocation for village) because currently each village got near IDR 1.000.000.000 for village development and one of the priority from national level for village fund utilisation is sanitationCurrently, the target is set at 0% increase in budget allocation for STBM. CSOs will more advocate the government to use the budget efficiently rather than for increasing the budget.21-04-2020: It was increased ranging from 33-277% for the programme areas. Sijunjung (STBM budget allocation) : 2017: IDR 87 million, 2018 : IDR 130 million, 2019: IDR 62 million, 2020 : IDR 83 million (2019 vs 2020 increase 33%) Pringsewu: Pringsewu has already achieved ODF, so they focused on sanitation in school in 2019 --> 2017: IDR 156 million, 2018: IDR 350 million, 2019: IDR 770 million (2018 vs 2019 increase 120%) P. Pariaman: 2017 : IDR 162.5 million, 2018: IDR 55 million, 2019: 207.6 million (2018 vs 2019 increase 277%) Lampung Selatan: 2017 : IDR 541 million, 2020: 1.3 billion (2017 vs 2020 increase 140%) However, the source of the money for STBM implementation and sanitation development are not only from district fund. The huge resource from village fund could be mobilised. Many villages in those four areas have already allocated their village fund for sanitation especially latrine facility with various amount. These achievement was contributed by the CSOs who always advocate for the prioritisation of the sanitation especially STBM issue. They also closely engaged with the district planning agency and technical agency to monitor the budget allocation for STBM30-11-2020: Due to COVID-19 situation, there is a major budget re-allocation in this period. Therefore, it is hard for us to get the information about the 2021 STBM and sanitation budget for all four areas. However, there is a on-going pushed from national government towards districts and cities to keep or even increase WASH budget because it is importance for pandemic preventionPercentage is based on increase of budget for issue X as percentage of total sector budgetThe data from 2016 Fiscal year is not available this year. It can be accessed on 2017. Budget and expenditure report will be presented by Government around April. Baseline will be done after April 2017 The target is set at 2% for next year increase of relative annual budget allocation on STBM implementation. There will be only one activity in Sept-Oct 2017 related to budget allocation (participation in public hearings for budget allocations at parliament level and Bappeda level). This target is also supported by Government as National target for achieving 100% universal access to sanitation in 2019 19-03-2018: The data from 2016 and 2017 realisation of budget is not available. The data for 2017 might be accessible after April 2018. The CSOs experienced the improvement of transparancy mechanism for budget allocation from district government, however still have challanges in collecting annual budget realisation documentThe target will be reviewed at a later stage after CSOs and SNV could calculate the baseline from the results of sanitation governance research which is targetted to be finished in the end of May 201830-04-2019: 'Pringsewu : +1.71% For other locations, we could not access the whole sanitation budget which diverse in several agenciesCurrently, the target is set at 0% increase in budget allocation for STBM. CSOs will more advocate the government to use the budget efficiently rather than for increasing the budget.21-04-2020: It was ranging from -293 to 239%. Here it is the details of sanitation budget allocation: Sijunjung : 2017 : IDR 8.7 billion, 2018 : IDR 5 billion, 2019 : IDR 8 billion (2018 vs 2019 increase 160%) Pringsewu : 2018 : IDR 9.45 billion, 2019 : IDR 17.96 billion (2018 vs 2019 increase 190%) P.Pariaman : 2018 : IDR 7.4 billion, 2019 : IDR 2.8 billion (2018 vs 2019 decrease 62%) Lampung Selatan : no data yet Therefore, the proportion of STBM budget to whole sanitation budget are Sijunjung : 2017 : 1.49%, 2018: 1.24%, 2019: 1.04% (2018 vs 2019 decrease 0.2%) Pringsewu: could not be calculated because it is sanitation in school budget P.Pariaman : 2018 : 0.74%, 2019 : 7.41% (2018 vs 2019 increase 6.66%) Even though, Sijunjung District increased their allocation for STBM and sanitation (from district budget) from 2018 to 2019, but the relative annual budget allocation for STBM compare to whole sanitation budget percentage is slightly decrease. This is because they also mobilised the village fund (separate from district budget) utilisation also for STBM implementation in 2019. These achievement for increasing budget was contributed by the CSOs who always advocate for the prioritisation of the sanitation especially STBM issue towards the key stakeholders especially the head of district (Bupati)30-11-2020: Due to COVID-19 situation, there is a major budget re-allocation in this period. Therefore, it is hard for us to get the information about the 2021 STBM and sanitation budget for all four areas. However, there is a on-going pushed from national government towards districts and cities to keep or even increase WASH budget because it is importance for pandemic preventionWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0.

New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedin 2016 There is no inclusive regulation in the form of regulations exists so far in reported by CSO. In the STBM implementation has already included vulnarable people but the regulation is not yet inclusive (addresing vulnarable people: marginalized people, isolated, people at affected disaster area). There is lack of support for establishment of inclusive regulation on addresing vulnarable peoplein the next year there will be establishment of inclusive regulation on addresing vulnarable people on STBM implementation19-03-2018: All district regulation scored 1 on the implementation new/adjusted on Inclusive regulations on STBM/sanitation for vulnerable people. All CSOs have already inform the government on the important to also focus in reaching vulnerable group (poor people, difable group) to achieve the target of universal access of sanitation. All government were aware on this issues, and plan to add the additional action plan in how to reach vulnerable group on the ODF road map that will be drafted and implemented in 2018In the next year, CSO will support government to include and adopted the inclusive regulation in the Road Map. The road map will explain clearly on how to provide sanitation access to vulnerable people30-04-2019: The number respresented the average score for all of CSOs. LP2M (P.pariaman) and Mitra Bentala (L.Selatan) 's scored 2 because the STBM roadmap is still in the finalisation process. It was challenge to incorporate the various feedback from various agency in the middle of government agenda. PKBI scored 3 as the roadmap has already been adopted by local government. YKWS (Pringsewu)'s scored 2 because the sustainable STBM regulation is waiting to be ratified by parliament. all of the CSOs tried to highlight the inclusivity aspects throgh this roadmapIn 2019, CSOs especially LP2M, Mitra Bentala and YKWS will support government to adopt the inclusive regulation through STBM roadmap and sustainable STBM regulation. PKBI will support government monitoring the implementation of STBM roadmap. They will facilitated the monitoring and evaluation meeting and advocated for the regular field visit for village verification21-04-2020: YKWS, PKBI, and Mitra Bentala's score is 4.5 because related STBM regulation which are 1) YKWS : Sustainabe STBM regulation in Pringsewu 2) PKBI : Bupati's regulation on acceleration of ODF achievement 3) Mitra Bentala : Bupati's regulation on swasembada WC Those regulation has been applied and enforced, so those three districts achieved ODF status in 2019 with 100% sanitation access. However, it is still not equally applied especially for the difabled people who still faces challengess to access sanitation facility LP2M's score is 4 because the STBM regulation that was signed in 2019 has been applied, but still not equally applied. They still focused on 3 sub-districts as the pilot project to achieve ODF and expected to be replicated to other areas For the roadmap STBM, the important point has been included in the regulationIn 2020, CSOs especially LP2M will support government to adopt the inclusive regulation through better implementation of STBM with the engagement of multi-stakeholders such as PKK (women group) and university. However, we will not expected the ODF status will be achieved in Padang Pariaman this year. LP2M will focus on preparing the strong collaboration between actors to achieve the ODF and implement the STBM regulation30-11-2020: YKWS, PKBI, and Mitra Bentala's score is 4.5 because related STBM regulation which are 1) YKWS : Sustainabe STBM regulation in Pringsewu 2) PKBI : Bupati's regulation on acceleration of ODF achievement 3) Mitra Bentala : Bupati's regulation on swasembada WC Those regulation has been applied and enforced, so those three districts achieved ODF status in 2019 with 100% sanitation access. However, it is still not equally applied especially for the difabled people who still faces challengess to access sanitation facility. Therefore, during 2020 especially in the pandemic situation, YKWS hosted the inclusive event and invited various representative of DPOs to discuss the WASH behavior in the pandemic situation and the importance of inclusive development. LP2M's score is 4 because the STBM regulation that was signed in 2019 has been applied, but still not equally applied. They still focused on 3 sub-districts as the pilot project to achieve ODF and expected to be replicated to other areas. Also, the sanitation access is still below <70%. However, they tried to involve more PKK (women organisation) and women cadre in the village to raise the awareness about sanitation in the grassroot level. For the roadmap STBM, the district government used as the guideline for development planning. Then, in the new regulartion, they considered the assessment from roadmap STBM that developed previously as the inputWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

There is lack of support for establishment of inclusive regulation on addresing vulnarable peoplein the next year there will be establishment of inclusive regulation on addresing vulnarable people on STBM implementation23-04-2018: The STBM programme and policy were in place but still not be applied optimally in all of the area especially in West Sumatra. Stakeholders in Sijunjung and P.Pariaman that are stated in the regulation for their role in STBM programme have not perforemed optimally and collaboratively. Then, also even the achievement of sanitation access in Pringsewu and Lampung selatan district already more developed, but the implementation at provincial level is still weak. (still not adequate implementation at provincial and district level). Therefore, the score for all of the area is 4 because it is already applied, but have not enforced optimally especially for the poor and marginalised peopleIn the next year, The target is still same to apply and enforced STBM programme (including women's poor, disable, isolated communities) in each district which are Pringsewu, Lampung Selatan, Sijunjung, and P.Pariaman. CSOs in Sijunjung, P.Pariaman, and Lampung Selatan will still be expected to encourage the implementation for the common community first and CSOs in Pringsewu will give more focus to help the access for isolated communities, women;s poor, disable, and sanitation in school.30-04-2019: The framework as the reference for STBM implementation in Lampung Selatan is Bupati's instruction for Swasembada WC. The framework implementation has already been adopted, but it has not enforced optimally and equally in all of the areaThe target is similar with 2018, which is apply and enforced inclusive STBM intervention (including women's poor, disable, isolated communities) in all targeted district.. CSOs in Sijunjung, Lampung selatan and P.Pariaman will still be expected to encourage the implementation to reach ODF status. CSOs in Pringsewu will give more focus to increase the latrine ownership and latrine quality, and to help the access for isolated communities, women’s poor, disable, and sanitation in school21-04-2020: The framework as the reference for STBM implementation in Lampung Selatan is Bupati's instruction for Swasembada WC. The framework implementation has already been adopted with the results of ODF achievement in 2019. Theoritically, the regulation is effectively and equally applied to achieve universal sanitation access. However, there are still some challenges to be faced. Currently, they focused on the post ODF strategy including maintaining ODF behaviour and increase the quality of sanitation facility and decrease the sharing facilityThe target is similar with 2019, which is apply and enforced inclusive STBM intervention (including women's poor, disable, isolated communities) in all targeted district.. CSOs in P.Pariaman will still be expected to encourage the implementation to reach ODF status. CSOs in Pringsewu, Lampung Selatan, and Sijunjung will give more focus to increase the latrine ownership and latrine quality, and to help the access for isolated communities, women’s poor, disable, and sanitation in school30-11-2020: The framework as the reference for STBM implementation in South Lampung is Bupati's instruction for Swasembada WC. The framework implementation has already been adopted with the results of ODF achievement in 2019.

Currently, they focused on the post ODF strategy including maintaining ODF behaviour and increase the quality of sanitation facility and decrease the sharing facilitySanitation service only meets one criteria of affordable, sustainability and inclusive. Mostly latrine product are good and standard with affordable price (Lampung) and package are available. However it is not widely produced (Raja Basa, Lampung) and the product are still not accessible in some area. Most places have latrine material however community are still with low purchase power. Bussiness sanitation, vendor are not exist (Lampung). If exist location are not accessible. Sanitation product is still not affordable for some communities (West Sumatera) Price at 2,5 million per package are still considered high for community also poor access. Sanitation service is consider sustainable because existing policy on stop OD. Sanitation service only meets one criteria of affordable, sustainability and inclusive.

Sanitation service is consider sustainable because existing policy on stop OD. 19-03-2018: The score for this indicator is 2 because it is average for the four areas. Sijunjung and Padang Pariaman in West Sumatra scored 1 because sanitation service have not meet the criteria of affordable, sustainability and inclusive yet. For instance, the supply for latrine in West Sumatra is still dominated by the big and international brand which are expensive for the community. Currently, the focus of efforts are for increasing the awareness and demand to use adequate toilet in the community. However, the score for Pringsewu and Lampung selatan is 3 because they already met the afforadbility, sustainability criteria, and one inclusive criteria. CSOs will try to advocate more inclusive implementation for 2018. Fo example, we could access the supply for latrine package throuh STBM army that already trained by the government to produce toilet in almost every village in Lampung Selatan. Also, there are several hub service for sanitation entrepreneur in Pringsewu to meet the demand of the community to supply latrine with affordable price. From the sustainability aspect, Pringsewu and Lampung Selatan already have the regulation to guide the STBM implementation and reach the target for ODF in 2017 and 2018. Also, the budget allocation to increase the sanitation development has already existed. They also already set the mechanism to help the poor people to have their own toilet, but the inclusive implementation for the sanitation school and disaster area still need to be improvedTarget will be put at level 2.5 which consist of 2 as the score for West Sumatra and 3 for Lampung: For Sijunjung and Padang Pariaman, we will expect the sanitation service is somewhat affordable, sustainable and inclusive (Definition: Meets at least one affordable criteria, and two or three sustainable criteria). It is expected to improve sanitation product (latrine package) to be more accessible in any location (Affordable aspect) and more cheaper which suitable with community's financial condition. Then, for Lampung, we want to achieve more inclusive implementation which covers at least basic sanitation provision for poor people and student in school. Then, for Sustainablse aspect it is targetted to involve more material vendors, local masons, sanitation suppliers are involved in sanitation supply chain and providing sanitation services (support latrine package product)30-04-2019: The number representing the average score for four areas. Sijunjung, Padang Pariaman, and Lampung Selatan scored 2.5 because they have already met with the affordability and sustainability indicator, but need additional effort to achieve inclusion indicator. All of the area has the regulation and adequate budget for STBM. Also, there are active sanitation entrepreneur in there where the people thought it will be a good sustainable business. CSOs need to focus to advocate on the inclusivity criteria to reach all of the people including last mile which mostly involve poor people, difable and marganalised group, sanitation at school, and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM). For Pringsewu, they scored as 3 because they already met the affordability, sustainability criteria, and one inclusive criteria. Pringsewu have already reached ODF district and set the mechanism to help the poor people to increase the quality of the latrine. CSO will try to advocate more inclusive implementation for 2019 especially sanitation in school and MHM implementation.Target will be 2.75 which consist of 2.5 as the score for West Sumatra and 3 for Lampung. For Sijunjung and Padang Pariaman, the target is the sanitation service is somewhat affordable, sustainable and inclusive (Definition: Meets at least one affordable criteria, and two or three sustainable criteria). It is expected to improve sanitation product (latrine package) to be more accessible in any location (Affordable aspect) and more cheaper which suitable with community's financial condition and STBM program could reach all of the area. In Lampung, the target is to be more inclusive implementation which covers at least basic sanitation provision for poor people and student in school including MHM. Target for sustainable aspect is to assist the sanitation entrepreneur to be more sustainable in their business and involve more material vendors, local masons, sanitation suppliers in sanitation supply chain and involved in providing sanitation services (support latrine package product)30-11-2020: There were 7 new people involved in Pokja AMPL for Padang Pariaman, Sijunjung, and Pringsewu. In general, most of the new people understand about their role in their agency/office to support ODF and STBM. However, their score (6 out of 7) is not above 80% from the survey because the roles and responsibilities displayed are general and based on the health ministry regulation, which might not suitable with the other agency mandate. However, all of the respondent could articulate their contribution based on their role in their organisation to support the STBM implementation and ODF achievementTarget will be 2.75 which consist of 2.5 as the score for West Sumatra and 3 for Lampung. For Sijunjung and Padang Pariaman, the target is the sanitation service is somewhat affordable, sustainable and inclusive (Definition: Meets at least one affordable criteria, and two or three sustainable criteria).

Padang Pariaman scored 2 because they have already met with the one affordability and 5 sustainability indicator, but need additional effort to achieve inclusion indicator.Padang Pariaman has the regulation and adequate budget for STBM. Also, there are active sanitation entrepreneur in there where the people thought it will be a good sustainable business. However, there is still a need to focus on the inclusivity criteria to reach all of the people (100% sanitation access/ODF status) including last mile which mostly involve poor people, difable and marganalised group, sanitation at school, and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM). For Pringsewu, Sijunjung and South Lampung, they scored as 3 because they already met the affordability, sustainability criteria, and one inclusive criteria. Those districts have already reached ODF district and set the mechanism to help the poor people to increase the quality of the latrine. However, there is still a need to increase the inclusive aspect especially to reach the last mile community and sanitation access that could be utilise by all such as difabled people, elderly, etc. Also, sanitation in school and MHM implementation.In total there were 54 working group staffs that have capacity in STBM approach (as resource person, STBM facilitator).

Confidentialconfidential19-03-2018: confidentialconfidential17-04-2019: In 2018 through the capacity development trajectory, CSOs where trained and coached on different aspects of leadership, organizational development, advocacy and use of evidence and thematic knowledge. In order to measure improvements in CSOs capabilities we have conducted a capacity development survey through google surveys. For the analysis, a CSO is considered to have increased or decreased its capability when the average score for 2018 is +0.25 or -0.25 compared to the previous year. For leadership capabilities, the target was that 4 out of 6 CSOs will increase their leadership skills. The result from the survey showed that in 2018 5 CSOs have increased their leadership capabilities compared to 2017 while one CSO demonstrated no significant change. The success factor about this increase is associated to coaching which built on experiences learnings from 2017. The main areas of leadership covered was coaching on emotional intelligence and knowing the organization. This included self-awareness, self-managing, self-motivation and understanding others as stated by Daniel Goleman. As expressed by CSOs in assessment, the knowledge gotten has empowered CSOs to make changes and build by building on their strengths and identifying areas that need improvements. Furthermore, CSOs members that benefited from coaching on leadership are now contributing to a better work environment for themselves and their coworkers and they are able to do what needs to be done without the influence from other people and/or situation. Reflecting on capacity development methods, on the job training and coaching were much appreciated by CSOs as they get enough time to understand and critically reflect on different topics covered. It also enable SNV advisor/Coaches to take each case separately considering the background of CSOs members and their needs in terms of capacities to improve.6 CSOs will have their leadership skills increased/maintained.

For the analysis, a CSO is considered to have increased or decreased its capability when the average score for 2018 is +0.25 or -0.25 compared to the previous year. Regarding advocacy and use of evidence capabilities, the target for 2018 was that 4 CSOs will demonstrate increased skills in this area. The survey result shows that 5 CSOs have increased advocacy and use of evidence capabilities while for 1 CSO there has been no significant change. To achieve this, In 2018 CSOs were trained on the approach of using evidence to support their advocacy interventions and how to engage media in the process of advocacy. Furthermore, CSOs were trained on how to use the budget tracking tool which generated the information on how much the government of Rwanda is allocating to food and nutrition sensitive and specific interventions. This has enabled CSOs to be more confident in their advocacy and they have influenced the agenda at central and local level. For Example with the training provided to CSOs on media engagement in advocacy, they have held a press conference with journalist from Rwanda Media Commission and the latter has expressed interest on partnering with the CSOs in advocacy. For the use of evidence CSOs were able to effectively use finding from the budget tracking conducted by RDO in partnership with IFPRI, a number of advocacy events were organized at central and local level in which findings were presented by CSOs. From this authorities have committed to pay more attention to food and nutrition specific sensitive and interventions when preparing their budgets.

The scoring was done jointly by the CSOs and SNV team and the results from July to December 2019 shows that CSOs have maintained level 3, production and consumption of diversified food and bio fortified crops is being discussed at national level Here below are examples supporting selected level During DPEM assessment report validation workshop, in presence of DPEM members from all the districts, SUN Alliance highlighted areas of improvement and commitments were made, such as holding a monthly coordination meeting with all actors to share progress, challenges but also jointly look forward. Also in validation workshop of national early child hood development (NECDP) strategic plan, in presence of local and national government officials, SUN ALLIANCE intervened and a review was made to include the recommendations, in nutrition campaign organized by Nyabihu district DPEM and voice for change, SUN ALLIANCE presented to the audience to join efforts to deliver behavior change and communication. "CSOs should mentain level3 as the degree of influence on agenda setting04-11-2020: "To measure the level of influence, we use rubric score which is a qualitative method that unpacks the indicator in different levels of success. The target was to maintain level 3, where CSOs targets are tabled among stake holders in government and the private sector at national level. The scoring was done jointly by the CSOs and SNV voice for change MEAL officer and the results show that CSOs have maintained level 3, improved coordination in food and nutrition actors and activities at district level Here below are examples supporting selected level Due to CSOs advocacy interventions on agriculture and nutrition service delivery specifically in the Muhanga, Nyabihu, Nyamagabe and kamonyi districts, they were given green light by the ministry of local government in the budget year of 2020/2021 to fill the gaps in staffing to ensure services and cordination are well delivered in these districts. "We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests Regular meeting and communication take place between CSOs, government and the food processing companies that are related to Food and Nutrition Security i) Regular meeting and communication take place between CSOs, MINAGRI, MINALOC, MINISANTE, MINEACOM and Milling plants that are related to effective farming for food production, fortification, effective sector coordination and adequate allocation of resources in Food and Nutrition Sector ii) Relevant theme related information on to effective farming for food production, fortification, effective sector coordination and adequate allocation of resources in Food and nutrition sector are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, Governemnt and the private sector 10-01-2018: For this reporting period, the average score shows that the degree of collaboration is at level 2 where Relevant information to effective farming for food production, fortification, effective sector coordination and adequate allocation of resources in Food and nutrition sector are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, Government and the private sector. This score was confirmed after series of discussions between CSOs and SNV advisors, here are some facts that justify this level:  During the agriculture sector working group, RDO has shared with Multilateral and Bilateral organisations, INGOs, CSOs and Central Government the preliminary findings of Preliminary Findings on MINAGRI's Public Expenditure Allocation 2010-16 which show the percentage allocated to food and nutrition. This has trigged discussions in which useful comments where provided by participants.  When the development of PSTA IV (Strategic Plan for Agriculture transformation) MINIGRI requested inputs from the CSOs to make the PSTA IV more Nutrition sensitive. The CSOS provided the inputs on how to make the Nutrition sensitive agriculture with any emphasis on production of more diversified nutritious food and bio fortification which were considered in adjustment of the PSTA 4  ADECOR and DUHAMIC ADRI have jointly visited SOSOMA industries one of the milling plant that fortifies food in Rwanda. During this visit, they shared with them a document about food fortification in Rwanda and they discussed about the cost of fortification.  After a series of interventions at the District level explaining the issues of undernutrition and coordination, SUN Alliance was requested to accompany the state Minister of State in the ministry of local government in an event at Rulindo district for the purpose of providing a specific message on Nutrition. The CSOs have established good collaboration with Key stakeholders including the government, donors, research institutes, development partners and the private sector at technical and decision making level through various meeting, interventions and interactions. By these regular meetings, CSOs will share some of the knowledge products and evidences which will be made available. However due to the to the fact that in this period a lot of political changes are expected in the policy and decision makers at national level such as election of the president, appointment of new cabinet we expect that the level of collaboration during this period will remain at 2 with little consideration of CSOs’ ideas in the plans.26-03-2018: For this reporting, CSOs have maintained the degree of collaboration at level 2 of the scoring rubric where relevant information related to production and consumption of various nutritious food, food fortification, effective sector coordination and adequate allocation of resources in food and nutrition sector are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and private sector. This score was confirmed after series of discussions between CSOs and SNV advisors, here are some facts that justify the selected level: At National level, the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) has invited CSOs in the Voice for Change Partnership project in the validation meeting of the final draft of Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation 4. This shows that the Ministry value the role our CSOs are playing in the process of developing long term strategies aimed at ending hunger and undernutrition. At district level, during a meeting with nutrition civil society actors in RUBAVU district, the vice mayor in charge of social affairs requested SUN Alliance to review the functionality of DPEM in the district. SUN Alliance was also requested by Burera District the support in planning and coordination of a one month nutrition campaign held in all administrative sectors of the district. Furthermore, DUHAMIC ADRI has supported Huye and Nyamagabe District to organize DPEM meetings aimed at reviewing how nutrition interventions are coordinated and implemented at district level; one recommendation that came up from these meetings was to improve collaboration between nutrition actors.The CSOs have established good collaboration with Key stakeholders including the government, donors, research institutes, development partners and the private sector at technical and decision making level through various meeting, interventions and interactions. By these regular meetings, CSOs will share some of the knowledge products and evidences which will be made available. For the next reporting period, CSOs will go a step further and reach a level where plans that include accessibility and used of fortified products or crops, production and consumption of diversified food, coordination of FNS actors and activities and budget allocation in FNS related activities are jointly made by the government and/or the private sector at National and local level.12-09-2018: To determine the degree of collaboration between CSOs, government and food processing companies, we used the scoring rubric which a qualitative M&E method that unpacks the indicator in different levels of success.

MINIMEX alone accounted 79% production and 21% for SOSOMA Industries. Most of the productions are reserved for emergencies cases such as refugees and severe malnutrition cases. the commodities locally fortified include maize flour, SOSOMA (a mixture of soja, sorhgum and maize) In 2016, the production of fortfiedd food by SOSOMA and MINIMEX was 3788.7 metric tons. Due to the newly established company AIF, the production in 2017 will increase by 955%, (the current production will multiply by ten times) due to the 40000 metric tons planned production by AIF. However we assume that our contribution will be 0 since we didnt influence on the production of AIF, the production from other componies will not change as the policy of mandatory fortification is still dormant and no incetive created yet from the government to mobilize the investors in this sectors. Also apart from the organizations (WFP, UNHCR, MINISANTE) purchasing these fortified products for emergencies cases the demand of fortified products from the local community is absent. there will be mobilization of the governemnt and the private sector to show the opportunity in the fortification sector while also working on behaviour change of the community to trigger the demand of the products. 19-03-2018: "In 2017, the production of fortified food has considerably increased with the contribution of the newly established food processing company (Africa Improved Foods Rwanda Ltd) having a capacity of producing a total of 40,000 metric tons. This production is 10 times higher than what was produced by SOSOMA Industries Ltd and MINIMEX. However a big percentage of this production is the special commands from the government (MINISANTE), WFP, and other development partners mainly aimed at addressing severe malnutrition cases in poor households. This means that when there will be no special commands, the level of production will reduce given that the demand of fortified products from the community is still low. This has resulted in AIF getting the Investor of the year award by the private sector federation (PSF), the firm was selected due to its proven impact of their investment in Rwanda. However in order to continue increasing investment in fortification, the CSOs have and will concentrate the efforts in creating demand of fortified food from the consumers and putting fortification on the national agenda by building a good relationship with food processing companies showing the role that the latter have to play in the process of increasing the accessibility and use of fortified products."In 2018, CSOs will continue advocacy activities aimed at increasing the consideration by the government to develop policies and regulations related to food fortification such the fortification decree, regulation of mandatory food fortification, regulation of tax exemption for fortification premixes. CSOs will also target food processing companies to get their support in the process of advocacy. Despite these efforts to be made, we do not expect an increase in investment in food fortification by food processing companies as this will require that the above mentioned policies and regulations are developed, adopted and implemented by concerned ministries.17-04-2019: In 2018, CSOs have conducted advocacy activities to promote the food fortification in Rwanda, these include round table discussions, face to face meeting with decision makers in the government and the private sector. From these activities, commitments were made by the government to accelerate the process of adopting regulations on food fortification and to conduct awareness campaigns to promote the consumption of fortified products at local level. However, in 2018, we did not target an increase in production of fortified products that is linked to project interventions. Advocacy efforts were geared towards influencing the policies, regulations development at national level, influencing local authorities to prioritize food fortification in their nutrition plans and mobilization of Small and Medium milling companies to start food fortification business. When achieved, the above mentioned points are expected to lead to an increase in the investment by food processing companies.In 2019, CSOs will influence the finalization and adoption of regulations on food fortification in Rwanda. furthermore, CSOs will conduct advocacy activities for the government to support SMEs to enter in food fortification.

With these measures, big companies that comply with the regulation have increased to 3%. Though there was lockdown in the country, food producers were allowed to operate and this has enabled big companies to increase production hence increased investment in food fortification at a large.percentageOne of the major functions of the ministry of finance and economic planning is to review and approve proposed budgets from all government institution taking into consideration the government spending priories and the available budget. In 2018 IFPRI in collaboration with RDO has initiated the tracking of the budget allocated by the government of Rwanda to support nutrition interventions in the country. To come up with weights for nutrition sensitive and specific budget lines, IFPRI and RDO have involved different MINECOFIN and other relevant actors in the area of food and nutrition security in Rwanda. Findings from the budget tracking finalized in June 2018 have revealed that for the current fiscal year 2017-2018 the government have allocated 7.7% of its total budget on food security and nutrition at the central government. This figure will be considered as baseline. From July 2018 CSOs have been engaging with different authority at the central level emphasizing on the need to increase the budget allocated to nutrition specific interventions. In July 2019 when another approved budget will be approved, another tracking will be conducted to see whether there have been an increase or not.With the findings from the budget tracking finalised in Mid 2018, CSOs have started to use the findings to infuence decision makers at central level. In 2019, CSOs will continue to advocate on the issue of increasing the budget allocated to food and nutrition interventions and it is expected that in the final approved national budget for the fiscal year starting in July 2019 will demonstrate an increase of at least 1% for the budget allocated to food and nutrition interventions.24-10-2018: This indicator highly depends on the FNS budget allocation and expenditure analysis which is being conducted by IFPRI in partnership with RDO. So far, across social cluster ministries and districts 57 budget lines were identified and were given tentative weights, the next step is to conduct a workshop in which these weights will be confirmed and hence finalize the budget tracking model, this is planned in Mid March 2018.In 2020, CSOs will use the findings to influence decision makers at central level.

Budget tracking conducted in year 2018-2019 shows that the ministry allocated 0.09% of its total budget to nutrition activities, however this shows a very big decrease from last year’s budget where the ministry had allocated 6.8%, this is because the budget tracking conducted by RDO was done at ministerial level yet the ministry like other ministries have changed and decentralized their budget to the districts level where RDO did not manage to track it this year but plan to do both next year.The target in the year 2020 is 1% for the MIGEPROF, because the last year reporting 2019 , did not even reach the target set towards this ministry, the next reporting period, CSOs will track all the MIGEPROF budget decentralized budget to districts04-11-2020: Ministry of gender and family promotion is among the social cluster ministries.

Though these districts have increased the budget allocated to FNS but the target for this year 1% wasn’t met as the percentage increase is only at 0.11% for these 5 districts combined.The target for 2020 on these districts is 1% budget increase on budget allocation for FNS04-11-2020: "At local level, 5 districts from 4 provinces and 1 from Kigali City were selected from the beginning of the project to track the progress. The budget tracking using the tool initially developed in partnership with IFPRI, it has been realized that an increase of 2.3% compare to previous year (2018/2019). The reason of budget increase is mainly decentralization of budget; most of budget lines were shifted from central to decentralized level. Much money to deal with Food Security and Nutrition was transferred to district levels. ""To measure the progress in developing, adopting and implementing new or adjusted inclusive policies, we have used the scoring rubric which is a way to unpack an indicator and get different levels to be reached in a specific period of time. At the baseline the score was at level 0 where no legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines on production and consumption of diversified nutritious food existed. The target for this reporting period was to reach level 1 of the scoring rubric where new/adjusted legislative framework on production and consumption of diversified nutritious food is considered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI). The result for the reporting period shows that MINAGRI has increased the consideration on to revise some legislative framework in order to improve the production and consumption of diverse nutritious food.

With the efforts invested by CSOs to ensure the district development strategies are in line with the agriculture sector strategy have resulted in achieving level 5 whereby now all the districts especially those with high prevalence of malnutrition are considering NSA as apriority in their plans and performance contracts. The CSOs jointly have held number of interventions by helping district technical team to develop action plans by embedding NSA interventions in their plans. "Target for the next reporting period is to maintain level 5 of the scoring rubric.04-11-2020: "Having reached level 5 which is the highest of the scoring rubric CSOs have targeted to maintain that level in this year. Despite the pandemic of covid19 and its effects, CSOs managed to keep pushing the local government entities to implement government strategies and policies as developed at national level, though movements from province to provinces were restricted but food security related programs continued at ground level hence level 5 was maintained."For this reporting period we had targeted no changes with regard to development of new or adjusting existing inclusive legislative framework in the form of policies, law, standards, regulation and/or guidelines related to increased production and consumption of diversified food. The CSOs advocacy activities were aimed at increasing the collaboration with key stakeholders, putting the issue on the agenda and increasing the political will of decision makers in Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI). The increased political will/ commitment by decision makers in support of the issue is expected to lead to developing and/or policies, regulations or frameworks.No legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines in place for increase production and consumption of diversified food put in place by MINAGRINo legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines in place for increase production and consumption of diversified food put in place by MINAGRI.17-04-2019: In 2018 one long term strategy which was in the process of renewal has included nutrition sensitive agriculture aimed at ensuring that agriculture contributes to enhanced dietary diversity and quality at national and household level. This is the 4th strategic plan for agriculture transformation that was approved by the cabinet in July 2018. In this strategy, the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal resources will work in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion and the Ministry of Local Government to identify and address specific dietary gaps through district investments in agriculture and rural development. The adjustment made is that this strategy has now given more room to nutrition and CSOs in V4CP such as IMBARAGA farmers organization, CARITAS Rwanda and RDO are among the local organizations that were consulted when developing, reviewing and validating this strategy. Their inputs were around how this strategy can be more nutrition sensitive. specifically for IMBARAGA and Caritas, in the preliminary phase of developing this strategy they were tasked by the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) to collect the views from local farmers on what should be considered in the strategy and in the report shared with MINAGRI, giving more room to nutrition came out clearly.in 2019, No other policy,regulation or framework related to production and consumption of diversified nutritious food is expected to be developed or adjusted. The focus will be on following up the implementation of PSTA420-04-2020: "In 2019, No new policy, regulation or legal framework was targeted but CSOs have pushed for revision of the nutrition policy as the other one has ended in June 2018, in partnership with UNICEF we managed to convince government through its National Early Childhood Development Program under Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF) and new Policy was developed, by end of the year 2019, final draft was technically validated by technical working group and await for cabinet meeting to approve it. CSOs were much involved from the start working with consultant to ensure all advocacy areas of V4CP are taken into consideration up to validation session. "In 2020, No other policy, regulation or framework related to production and consumption of diversified nutritious food is expected to be developed or adjusted.04-11-2020: New nutrition policy developed and technically validated but not gazetted yet.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. No legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines exists, or existing/new suggested legislative framework is detrimental to issue 1. A new/adjusted legislative framework is considered 2. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been drafted 3. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR framework detrimental to issue has been prevented 4. New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedThe mandatory Food fortification policy for all milling plant has been developed but never put into actions by MINEACOM The mandatory Food fortification policy for all milling plant is considered by MINEACOM 19-03-2018: "The mandatory food fortification is one of the aspects on which the CSOs working on the issue of accessibility and use of fortified products are advocating for food fortification becoming mandatory would be a way of the production of fortified food by food processing companies. This indicator was measured using the scoring rubric where the indicator of the progress in developing, adopting and implementing the mandatory food fortification was unpacked in 5 levels. For this reporting period, CSOs working on the issue of fortification mainly ADECOR and DUHAMIC ADRI had the target to reach the level 2 of the scoring rubric where the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) has to consider a new or adjusted regulation on mandatory food fortification by milling plants. For this purpose, CSOs have organized a number of advocacy activities in which they met with authorities in MINICOM and the Ministry of Health. These encounters have made food fortification to be put on the agenda and CSOs have gotten the by-in from MINICOM. The latter has even provided a recommendation letter to ADECOR as support to its advocacy activities around food fortification. Other efforts were put in the process of formalization of the National Food Fortification Alliance (NFA) which is a platform in which all stakeholders in the government and development partners with interest in food fortification meet to discuss issues related to fortification and propose potential solutions.In 2018, CSOs working on the issue of accessibility and use of fortified products will intensify their advocacy activities to have the increased consideration of developing and adopting mandatory Food fortification regulation for all milling plants by the Ministry of trade and Industry (MINICOM)17-04-2019: In order to measure the progress in developing, adopting and implementing regulation on food fortification in Rwanda, we have used the scoring rubric which unpacks the indicator in different levels of success. The target for this reporting period was to reach the level 1 whereby the Mininstry of Health will increase its consideration of developing and adopting mandatory Food fortification regulation. However the result from the rating shows that we have reached the level 2 of the scoring rubric whereby regulation on mandatoty food fortification is currently being drafted by the food fortification task force composed by CSOs, Government and food processing companies. The lead organisation of this task force is Rwanda Food and Drug Authority (RFDA) with ADECOR as co chair. In 2019 CSOs working on the issue of increasing the availability and consumption of fortified products will work closely with the newly created Rwanda Food and drug authority to accelerate the process of adoption of this regulation.The target for the next reporting period it to reach the level 3 in scoring rubric whereby regulation on food fortification in Rwanda will be adopted and implemented by FDA and food processing companies in Rwanda.20-04-2020: "In order to measure the progress in developing, adopting and implementing regulation on food fortification in Rwanda, we have used the scoring rubric which unpacks the indicator in different levels of success. The target for this reporting period was to reach the level 3 whereby the Ministry of Health will increase its consideration of developing and adopting mandatory Food fortification regulation. The result from the rating shows that we have reached level 3 of the scoring rubric whereby regulation on mandatory food fortification has been drafted and approved The enforcement of the regulation is undergoing and in partnership with Rwanda FDA, we have mapped and categorized by scale all the food processors in order to know who is doing what, where and how much then easily monitor the implementation of the regulation. "The target for 2020 is to maintain level 3 of scoring rubric whereby regulation on food fortification in Rwanda will be enforced/implemented by FDA and food processing companies in Rwanda.04-11-2020: "In order to measure the progress in developing, adopting and implementing regulation on food fortification in Rwanda, we have used the scoring rubric which unpacks the indicator in different levels of success. The target for this reporting period was to maintain the level 3 whereby regulation on food fortification in Rwanda will be enforced/implemented by FDA and food processing companies in Rwanda The enforcement of the regulation is a process but it has started by mapping and categorize by scale all the food processors in order to know who is doing what, where and how much then easily monitor the implementation of the regulation. While presenting the findings of the mapping exercise, CSOs have stressed to close those that are not complying until everyone that is on market complys with regulation which was granteed hence level 3 was maintained"No legislative framework on food fortification in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines is implemented One legislative framework on on food fortification be implemented 19-03-2018: "In the past, there have been some efforts from the government and different development partners to make food fortification standards mandatory, they had even reached a stage of drafting and adoption of food fortification standards for maize flour, wheat flour, cooking oil, sugar, and salt. For this reporting period, no change was expected regarding an additional legislative framework on food fortification in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines to be adopted and implemented. However, there have been a development of the guidelines for the use of the national fortified food logo (NFFL) by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of trade and industry, the National Food Fortification Alliance and the private sector. NFFL will be awarded to manufacturers or importer who will fortify their products according to the national standards and will be used as compliance, enforcement and identification tool of the marketed products.The national food fortification decree currently at the draft stage will be finalized and adopted during this year by the Ministry of health and the Ministry of trade and industry.17-04-2019: The 4th Strategic plan for Agriculture transformation that was approved by the cabinet in July 2018 has included food fortification among the areas to be promoted to mainstream nutrition in agriculture. The CSOs in the program were involved in the process of developing this new strategy by participating in consultative meeting, technical working groups and validation meetings and their interventions were mainly on how food fortification can be considered in the policy.In 2019, Regulation on food fortification in Rwanda will be finalized20-04-2020: The target for this year was to maintain level 1, by ensuring the mandatory food fortification regulation is finalized and approved which was done in late 2019. Thanks to a partnership of CSOs, private sector and government (MOH/FDA) who both sat together in different occasions to develop regulation that fit and beneficial to all parties involved.In 2020, No other policy, regulation or framework will be developed or adjusted, the focus will be on enforcement of the recently approved.The satisfaction level of the household with agriculture services such as Pests and diseases control services, farming systems services, Fertilizers distribution and Improved seeds distribution have been collected through a household baseline survey and key informant interview in 6 districts.

Meanwhile all 5 CSOs have had at least 2 formal/informal engagements with Assemblies on PHL issues, implyng 10 encounters. Note: Baseline figure means 16 encounters per 5 CSOs In total 25 encounters are expected during the halfyear from five CSOs 06-12-2018: The 5 CSOs had a 25 combined number of encounters: These engagements have increased how MMDAs and the key ministries view the advocacy issues. It has provided a platform for joined planning especially on issues that require multi-sectorial approach. Again, it has increased collaboration among the stakeholders and further deepen the need to address issues of nutrition, PHL, sanitation and efficient cooking especially. It has also provided a platform. the engagement as resulted in improved collaboration, increase awareness of the issues, increase commitment from the assembly most especially. It is hope that as the assemblies develop the medium term plans, the advocacy issues will be incorporate conspicuously.In total 25 encounters are expected during the halfyear from five CSOsIn total, 25 encounters are expected during the half year from five CSOs. With the increased engagement and consultation of CSOs in the planning process, CSOs are expected to maintain regular interactions/encounter with the GHS, the District assemblies and the Ministry of Agric on issues related to nutrition. Each CSO among several cncounters will make 5 major relevant encounters towards policy change or implementation effectiveness. In the second half of the year, 4 relevant encounters each will be made.08-10-2018: At the national level , CSOs had encounters with the Nutrition Unit of the Ghana Health Service (GHS). The encounters were used to deliberate on the progress of the implementation of the National Nutrition Policy and also discussed opportunities for effective collaboration between the institutions so as to gain knowledge and commit to collective action to improve nutrition service delivery. The interactions enabled CSOs to deepen their appreciation of the implementation status of the NNP, key among them being that MMDAs usually implement nutrition programs for which funds are available from the central government or donor partners regardless of the MMDA's own needs or priorities, and yet, the national level sector bodies are unable to monitor effectively the implementation of the NNP. This is expected to be an attention point for advocacy by the CSOs. Again, the encounters have resulted in the development of the National Implementation strategy geared towards achieving the NNP. The CSOs have been formally consulted. Even a national dialogue led by PFAG was organised involving 32 participants from 14 institutions met to deliberate on the broad activities to be done. The implementation strategy will provide a guide to all district level Ghana Health Service and departments responsible for Nutrtion to adequately plan. In the coming period, districts are to set up District Nutrition Cordinating Committees. There was also a formal meeting with the Head of Nutrition Unit at the GHS.

CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectCSOs jointly undertook self assessment based on scoring rubric to determine the baseline. The CSOs at least have regular meetings and communications with local government and in some cases, with sector bodies on nutrition. A key action was for the CSOs to put their interest in the form of nutrition related proposals for the MMDA to table for consideration CSOs expect to achieve a collective average of 2 within the half year as they gather momentum in voicing out CSOs interest and explaining nutrition issues to local authorities 10-01-2018: With the regular engagement, CSOs have very regular interactions with MMDAs. The private sector is yet to be engaged on this regular basis. The CSOs are seen now as very key development partners especially on the advocacy issues. The expectation by MMDAs from the CSOs expecially on content information is high. It is hoped that in subsequent years, the evidence gathered by these CSOs and partners will guide the development and implementation of policies. Insreacingly, the CSOs have space and voice. this space is also shared with communities as they increasingly attend meetings together.Average of 2 not expected to change in the second halfThe challenge in the nutrition sector is more about funding as Ghana Health Service has the human expertise, therefore the infleunce will not exceed 2. However, the focus will more on influecing the private sector as well in 2018 to develop the interest in investing in utrition especially on ensuring food supplement if available and affordable,08-10-2018: A collective score of 2 was assigned to the CSOs. They have been supporting the Department of Health to include Nutrition in the final MTDP. They are also supporting the identification and lobbying of private sector actors to invest in nutrition sector in the Districts. Currently, they are some nutrition indicators in the plan. Again, through the advocacy work, the districts are setting up Nutrition Coordinating Committee and Task Force. they will embark on district level sensitization and campaigns among other things. The CSOs have as well deepened interactions with key stakeholders in government and the private sector, having their interests in FNS put on the agenda for discussion and incorporation into development plans. During the second half of 2018, CSOs took part in the following meetings and influenced the agenda to focus on issues relating to PHL/FNS in the districts: 1. Public Hearing on the Draft MTDP for 2018-2021 in February 2018. 2. Meeting with Planting for Food and Jobs Committee 3. Participated in meetings with Environmental Department on Food Safety 4. Organize district level inter-agency meetingsThe challenge in the nutrition sector is more about funding as Ghana Health Service has the human expertise, therefore the infleunce will not exceed 2. However, the focus will more on influecing the private sector as well in 2018 to develop the interest in investing in utrition especially on ensuring food supplement if available and affordable,26-04-2019: Degree of influence did not change due to limited CSO influence on funding release to GHS although budgetary allocation has improved. All the CSOs are increasingly getting the opportunity to explain the message of nutrition espeically on the need to increase allocations, planning for nutrition ensuring effective cordination between GHS and MOFA. Again, the private sector have also been galvanise and need for ensuring access to nutrition services discussed.We do not expect a change in this indicator in the first half of the year.07-10-2019: "The degree of influence by these CSOs is gaining some tracking with an average score of 2.4. As a sign of the great role they played in the last, support in data and evidence, position in creating lots of awareness and advocacting for greater collaboration, they are interestingly invited, consulted for ideas. This gives the CSOs to opportunity to influence the agenda especially with the Ghana Health Service. The major influence is forming or activating Nutrition Technical Committees to involve wide range of actors. Again, the focus getting more private sector participation, nutrition prioritization, effective coordination, Specificially....; GRAMEEN – 2 No change in this indicator in the first half of the year. However, GG had more opportunity to explain its interest and priorities during multi-stakeholder meetings of MMDAs and GHS. It has almost become a practice of MMDAs and GHS to get the input of GG in most nutrition related programmes they plan to organize.

PFAG organised the national Nutrition workshop and updated participants on the state of the nutrition policy eg implemntation challenges, ministerial coordination and limited private sector involvemnt. this inform the direction of the yet-to-be validated Nutrition Implementation strategy. GTLC held 8 meetings involving 2 DCE's of Wa west and Talensi Districts and some of his officers, District and Regional nutrition officers in the year 2018. They also carried out 6 additional district level nutrition policy meetings and shaped the formation of the community nutrition sub-committee and strenghtening coordination between GHS and MoFA. SNV held 1 meeting on Salaga district stakeholders to discuss the roll out of the policy at the istrict level "CSOs will individually call for and organise 2 meeting meetings each. One will focus on production side by the DoA and the other will focus of consumption and policy by the GHS. Again, GTLC will organise 1 national level meeting in collaboration with other partners eg IFPRI and SUN Alliance24-04-2020: "These were meetings directly link to and focus on the policy itself. GG held 4 nutrition policy meetings comprising 2 dialogues, 2 interface meetings focusing on NNP implementation issues Meetings on nutrition policy were of 2 types. The first was at the local government which involved meetings of the Community Nutrition Committee and meetings with District Health officials towards facilitating implementation of the national nutrition policy at the community level. It also involved building relationship between district heath officials with the community nutrition committee. The second type of meeting was towards building on a concept note to form a national nutrition coalition comprising research and academic institutions, and V4C. The agenda and content of the coalition's meetings was to disseminate evidence to national nutrition stakeholders and also influence and improved coordination in the implementation of national nutrition policy. Nordeso organise 5 meetings on nutrition issues were organized within year. The meetings included; GHS annual review and planning, nutrition technical committee meetings, 4-quarterly stakeholders' meetings, SNG organised 3 meetings on nutrition policy was organized and discussed the need to use the newly constituted subcommittee to implement activities in the nutrition policy though the policy itself is expired"We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsCSOs undertook a collective assessment of MMDAs based on previous interactions with them. There was concensus that CSOs were generally provided with information on policy implementation decisions by the districts, although no adhoc fora for regular consultation with the CSOs exist. Baseline value not expected to change within one year 20-06-2018: At least CSOs were consulted in most budget hearings and as well as the development of the planning framework. Again, CSOs were also consultated at national level on the indicators for the national framework. CSOs at the national level were able to bring to nataional attention the needfor govenement to introduce nutrition sencitive seed for farmer in the planting for food and jobs programme rlled out by government. The CSOs advocated for resources for the health services for nutrition delivery in hard to reach communities. CSOs were given the opportunity to make presentationon the nutritional stauce of the district.not much will change in 201826-04-2019: "For all the CSOs, they are consultation sessions especially on incoprating nutrition into the development plans. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers. These decisions are well captured. GHS made public commitment to establish District Nutrition Technical Teams. District Assemblies and GHS held regular review and town hall meetings in 2018 than in the previous year and this provided opportunity for citizens to hold them more accountable for nutrition service delivery. Govt agencies have also responded to enquiries made by CSOs. However, cost of all these engagements and nutrition investments are not disclosed. Each district had a score of 3 mainly becuase nutrition is part of the medium term plan and hence it must be reported during the mid year and end of year reviews. The blockers if the regular transfer of staff and also poor documentation to be more transparenct. Financial accountability is not measured."But we expect the level of accountability to vary per district. in all, 2-3 is expected. CSOs will continue to push for establishment and functioning of the District Nutrition Technical Teams and the regular review meetings by GHS and town hall meetings by the District Assemblies.24-04-2020: "The average of the 5 CSOs scores is recorded as the actual for this indicator. Due to the low scores from SNG and PFAG, it presents a low average of 2.4. GTLC 4 The level of satisfaction survey conducted in the Wa West district in 2019 shows an improvement in the accountability mechanisms of nutrition service delivery. It also shows a good understanding by citizens of the services to be delivered by GHS. The concept of a community nutrition committee has been accepted and relationships with the district assembly is improving. In addition GTLC is participates in the annual Wa West district health conference for consultations and feedback. These developents put the score at 4. Grameen had 3 The establishement of NTTs have helped improved the transparency and feedback mechanisms for nutrition in the Nanumba North Municipality. CSOs are formally being consulted for their inputs. CSOs also have opportunity to make presentations to the Assembly through the NTT. With Nordeso having 3, the GHS, the MNTC share information and provide regular updates (quarterly) to stakeholders on nutrition interventions outcomes and challenges they face for policy implementation review. This is seen to be an improvements over the years before. Example is the sharing of budget details seen to be departure from their previous stance. SNG recorded a 2 for this indicator, SNG organized and participated in the EGMA 2019 budget analysis meeting to have a fair understanding of the budget allocations to PHL and Nutrition in general over the period 2018 to date PFAG scored 1. At the national level, there is no forum for CSOs to be provided with information about decisions and decision making processes. CSOs need to demand such from the GHS "05-11-2020: "An average of 2.4 was recorded by 5 CSOs as the degree of accountability mechanisms of nutrition. The details are below: GG -4 GG had formal structures including NTT at District level and standing sensitization committee on nutrition and covid-19 at regional level. Focus on Regional NTT shifted due to Covid-19 GTLC- 1 Progress has been made in the adoption by the Wa West Assembly of the Poyentanga Nutrition Committee as a structure of the assembly. This is an increase in accountability mechanisms in nutrition. NORDESO -3 The YMA budget unit, GHS, and the MNTC continued to share information and provide regular updates (quarterly) to stakeholders on nutrition interventions outcomes and challenges they face for policy implementation review. Example is the sharing of budget details during the radio accountability forum organized which is a departure from their previous hermit operations. PFAG -1 PFAG took advantage of the COVID pandemic to demand for investment in nutrition sensitive foods as well SNG-3 Because of the regular engagements on analysis of budgetary allocation, there is a team of District Assembly staff who have been positioned to respond to issues of accountability and transparency in the allocation of resources on Agriculture including Nutrition. This is made up of District Budget Officer, Planning and Finance officers. The facilitation of the establishment of the Coordinating committees that has been responsive to issues of citizens has created and enhanced the culture of accountability among duty bearers."confidential20-06-2018: "The CSOs are currently working in 7 districts. The major decision makers in nutrition include the DCEs, the DCDs, the Planning officers, the District Nutrtion Officers, the Directors of MoFA and Directors of GHS. All the DCEs and DCDs have been changed due to the change in government in recent times. the CSOs therefore engaged these new decision makers on nutrtion issues in the district during the period under revew. out of 42 (7 districts x 6 decision makers) key decision makers 4 decision makers in each district were retained and were able to demonstrate increased support in nutrtion issues in the districts due to continuce interaction with them. They particulary spireheaded most of the initiatives towards the nutrtion issues identified and gave updates to the new decision makers. we assigned a collective rating of 3 because the nutrition officers and the directors for GHS, Planning officers and MOFA demonstrated support on nutrition issues by joining the CSOs to conduct radio discussions and community sencitization on nutrition issues."It is expected these same policy makers /decision makers in the district to will continue to demonstrate commitment in nutrition issues in the district.26-04-2019: "In the case of Grameen, 6 Decision makers including (2 DCEs, 2 DCDs, 2 District Directors of Health) demonstrated increased commitments for nutrition issues in the District. For GTLC, these includes 2 DCE's and 2 Presiding Members of both Wa west and Talensi Districts. Nordeso had six major decision makers demonstrated thier support in nutrition included the DCE, the MCDs, the Planning officer, the District Nutrtion Officers, the Directors of MoFA and Directors of GHS. The DCE and MCDs have been changed due to the change in government in recent times. Nordeso therefore engaged these new decision makers on nutrtion issues in the district during the period under review. These stakeholders have shown great commitment of 4. These persons are known to be championing nutrition in the district and region. They play a leadership role in advancing the issue, and consistently makes the issue a priority on the agenda. This explain the high number of meetings related to nutrition both at the district and the region with 2018. It is rather private sector players which have verbally expressed their support, but primarily in one-on-one conversations and small group meetings. "It is expected these same policy makers /decision makers in the district will continue to demonstrate commitment in nutrition issues in the district. The parliamentary select committee at the national level is expected to show support by ensuring the MoH finalises the NNP implementation plan.24-04-2020: confidential05-11-2020: due to the sensitive nature of the data, no further information is providedSurvey undertaken in selected district showed that the decentralised bodies have not organised any meeting on nutrition in the base year 2016 CSOs expected to influence decentralized bodies to organize not less than 4 nutrition meetings in all targeted districts 20-06-2018: "At least all the district organised their annual nutrition events as of the annual health review meetings. At the annual nutrtion forums they discussed issues of nutrition,the pupose of the NNP; the poilcy goal, objectives and measure; the coordination and institutional arrangement for implemenation on the NNP . the partcipants also discussed the research, communication, monitoring and implementation of the NNP. The forum also called for the establishment of a District Nutrition Committee to coordinate stakeholder activities and improve monitoring of nutrition services in the District. "Each district is expected to 2 mandatory nutrition meetings as part of the guidelines for the implementation of the National Nutrition Policy26-04-2019: "2 meeting each in the 5 districts facilitated by the CSOs were organised. 2 Nutrition meetings organized by GHS where the nutrition officers presented their performance in nutrition service delivery in the various sub-districts and health facilities in the NND In the Wa West District, 2 District Health Review meetings were organised by GHS in 2018"2 Nutrition meetings expected to be held by the each District Assembly within the year. In all, 10 meetings are expected.24-04-2020: "Grameen 3 Nutrition meetings were held by the Nanumba North Municipal Assembly within the year. Focus of the meetings were on improving coordination, commitment and increasing budgetary allocation to nutrition by decentralized departments GTLC 2 2 District Health Review Conference that were organised by GHS in 2019. All GHS facilities in the sub districts provided an assessment of the state of health in the district. Level of provision Nutrition services was also assessed. Nordeso 4 4 quarterly meetinngs organized that involved the key stakeholders and on the review nutrition interventions and nutrition status. SNG 2 The GHS, Department of Agriculture and the Assembly have jointly organized cooking demonstrations and also teaching community members how to prepare nutritious meals using soya beans and leafy vegetables"05-11-2020: "26 meetings were organised by the decentralized structures in 4 of the districts where tow CSOs worked. GG -6 At least 6 Nutrition meetings were held by the Nanumba South and Nanumba North Municipal Assembly and Regional Nutrition Unit of GHS. Focus of the meetings were on improving coordination, increasing budgetary allocation to nutrition by decentralized departments and improving service delivery to communities in the midst of covid-19 GTLC –15 The District Heath service of Wa West held the 2019 Annual review meeting early in 2020 and organised 14 trainings and meetings in all the sub districts in Wa West that targeted frontline workers at the Health facilities. This was to improve health and nutrition service delivery in the district. NORDESO -3 Three major meetings on nutrition issues were organized which included the key decision makers within district. They included: 1. Face- to- face nutrition planning meeting with GHS. 2. Dialogue meeting with officials of GHS to review the implementation of nutrition programmes in the MTDP. 3. Mid-year review meeting with GHS on nutrition service delivery gaps and mitigations strategies PFAG -0 PFAG did not participate in any nutrition meeting organized by decentralized structures SNG -2 Before the onset of Covid the GHS organized two meetings including the review meeting by GHS discussing sources of funding for nutrition related activities since RING, the major donor of nutrition activities in the Municipality has folded up. The DPCU also organized a meeting and discussions centred on budgetary allocation by the Assembly to GHS to support nutrition related activities which is not the tradition"We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0.

New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedScoring rubric was applied in scoring the progress of developing, and adopting the National Nutrition Policy. The NNP had been adopted but not enforced in terms of implementation. Coordination is still poor and there are no clear structures and responsibilities. Specifically, the Nutrition Commission has not been set up. Most of the regions and district do not have the Nutrition Implementation Committees as mandated by the policy. Baseline value not expected to change within one year. 20-06-2018: the policy is develop and mainstreamed into district plans. All the assemblies have used the national guidelines which clearly have a section on nutrition and a clear indicators. Therefore the assemblies have incorporated this into their plans but regular funding and implementation will be the major challenge. The enforcement of the NNP is not fully established and CSOs are advocating through V4CP for the implementation of the NNP. It was realised that because the NNP is new most of the stakeholders have not yet read in details the NNP to be able to fully operationaliseThe policy has been incorporate into medium term plans which are expected to be implemented in 2018 and beyond. With funding uncertainty and irregulairty, the score is expected not to change for 201826-04-2019: "The NNP has been adjusted and incorporated in the development framework but will require budgetary commitment for implementation, some districts has set up Nutrition Committee and others have not. The newly set up District Implementation Committees will require some assembly backing for funding from the assemblies resources. In all the districts, nutrition has been incorporated into the MTDP 2018-2021 for implmentation. Annual reviews are carried out and activities evaluated. In the Wa West, Nanumba North, Yendi, Mion, Nanumba South, they have set up the District Nutrition Committees per the regulations of the National Nutrition Policy. We will use 2019 to evaluate the effectivemness of the committees in practice. Only in Slaga that the committee is yet to be formed. Again the Norther regional Nutrition Committee has been set up and chair by the Regional Nutrition Officer. They have been able to meet twice with support from V4CP and UNICEF"No significant change is expected mainly due to uncertainty and irregularities in budgetary releases. Howeveer, we expect to have most of the necessary conditions to accelerate progress in the next year especially in the setting up of the District Nutrition Committees to be fully functional.24-04-2020: "The average of the level of progress by these 5 CSOs were used for the final score. Unfortunately, SNG did not record anything of this indicator as it was not their main focus for the year. In the district, there was virtual nothing to work on. Grameen 4 Decentralized departments have deepened their attention to NNP implementation. Most of the necessary conditions are in place to accelerate progress in widespread adoption and implementation of the NNP. The District Nutrition Technical Team in Nanumba North has become more functional. There has been more stakeholder involvement in the implementation of nutrition programmes. Private sector participation is still not high especially in terms of willingness to invest in nutrition activities. SNG 4 At least the NNP mandates all assemblies to have the Nutrition Technical Committees. In the case of Salaga, the Committee was formed, inauguarated and a contact person names as the focal poin t for nutrition coordination. This was a big step towards the NNP implementation. GTLC 4 A high level of coordination has been achieved among V4C FNS and Academic and Research organisations on one hand. The Ghana Academy of Nutrition and Dieteics (GAND) and the Kuffour Foundation, on the other hand, have been coopted into a partnership to influence an improved implementation of the National Nutrition Policy. This collaboration is expected institute an annual national nutrition conference in Ghana and influence a higher prioritisation of nutrition by government. Nordeso 3 Some progress is made in terms of adoption and implementation of the NNP i.e the establishment of municipal & sub-municipal level nutrition committees and the,intergrated nutrition monitoring team, a critical component of the NNP.

NORDESO -3 The promotion of nutrition crops production and the adoption of nutrition agricultural extension service provision by the departments of agriculture and health is a remarkable progress towards the implementation of the national nutrition policy guidelines at the district level. Additionally, top level decision makers in the district continue to demonstrate unflinching support in nutrition policy implementation structures such as the functioning of the municipal & sub-municipal level nutrition committees and the integrated nutrition monitoring team which are a critical component of the NNP. However, a proportion of the nutrition services remain a challenge. PFAG -1 There are still ongoing consultations on the development of nutrition implementation plan SNG-4 There has been significant progress in the implementation of the national nutrition policy in the municipality.

These coupled with the programs for promoting healthy lifestyle through good nutrition and regular exercise, personal hygiene to reducing infectious diseases that contribute to malnutrition and ensuring that all children are fully immunized. No additional nutrition programmmes expected in the year.

Planting for Food and Jobs "These prog are donor-funded. With the awareness created by V4C, we expect government and other donors to formulate nutrition sensitive programme to address the high rate of malnutrition.26-04-2019: No new national nutrition programme implemented in the areaNo new programme expected. However, we expect improvement in the current programmes to target poor people especially women and children. We also expect initiation of plans and commitments by GHS and Private sector to introduce new nutrition programmes owing to extensive V4C advocacy with government and private sector that will be conducted.24-04-2020: No new nutrition programme was introduced at the national and district levels. Main focus is the implementation of the current policy. Measures are however taken for the setting up of a Nutrition Commission to coordinate Nutrition. This is captured under cordination.05-11-2020: "Only one CSO gave the score of 4 though the presence of the New National Nutrition Programmes was a national one. GTLC happens to be the CSO in charge of advocacy with GHS at the National level. GG -0 We did not have a new national nutrition programme in the year GTLC -4 This is a yearly measure. However two strategies were adopted by government in its fight against COVID 19 in 2020. This were sanitation and nutrition. They introduced a feeding programme that targeted the poor in urban areas this year. This was to mitigate the impact of the partial lockdown in the Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Kasoa as a strategy to fight against the pandemic. This was however short-lived. The President of Ghana has consistently advised citizens to eat nutritious food to help reduce the impact of COVID 19. This therefore places nutrition at the centre of government strategy against the pandemic. It also opens up the opportunity to conduct improved engagement in nutrition at the decentralised level. The score is 4. NORDESO -0 No new programme was introduced expected. However, we expect improvement in the current programmes to target poor people especially women and children. We also expect initiation of plans and commitments by GHS and Private sector to introduce new nutrition programmes owing to extensive V4C advocacy with government and private sector that will be conducted. PFAG -0 SNG-0 "WIAD and GHS have inclusive nutrition programmes No additional nutrition programmmes expected in the year. The focus will be on deepening the functionality of these programmes 20-06-2018: "The department of Gender, children and social protection was introduced to take care of issues of gender and children at the district level. This has was in a it to spirehead the key issues of the vulnerable in the district. V4CP focus on the new developemnt on infromation gathering in the districts. The decentralised departments therefore include: WIAD-Women in Agric Development Ghana Health Sevice Department of Gender"no change is expected but these programmes could be developed or scaled up26-04-2019: In each district the Dept of Agric and the GHS has nutrition programme. Also the District Annual work plan for 2018 have nutrition programmes. Again at the national level, the GHS has set up a Technical Advisory Team to development the Nutrition Implementation Strategy.No new decentralized structures expected to have inclusive nutrition programmes in the first half of the year. However, we expect the Nutrition Committees to be set up. Again, we expect the case study on the Poyenteng Community Nutrition Committee to be finalised and use as basis for replication24-04-2020: There was no new decentralized structures with inclusive nutrition programmes. Focus has been on the functioning of the Nutrition Committees which were already set up. At the National level, the team is in place to lead the implementation plan development. At district levels, the annual plans of the Medium Term Development Plans are implemented and review although adequate funding for the plan implementation is a challenge.05-11-2020: "None of the decentralized structures was able to establish any nutrition programme at their level. GG 0 No change in this indicator. Although the Information services department provided nutrition sensitive information due to COVID 19, this was not mainstreamed into their regular activities. GTLC 0 Being a yearly measure, there is an opportunity to make nutrition a campaign issues in this year’s Presidential and Parliamentary election. The peak of V4CP activities will be ended at the moment when this opportunity to influence politicians and political parties is at its zenith. GTLC was also engaging with the Assembly to form a district nutrition technical committee. This has not yet happened. No new structures were therefore created in 2020. The target was 1 but was not met in 2020. NORDESO -0 No new structure was formed at the sub-municipal level within the year. However, efforts have been made to ensure the proper functioning of the existing structures (municipal & sub-municipal level nutrition committees) to ensure inclusive implementation of the NNP.

Required isolation of relevant budget lines as proxies for sustainable nutrition activities, followed by collation and measurement of the indicators. Relevant activity budget lines used include: 1. Promotion of nutrition sensitive value chains e.g. soya, OFSP, leafy vegetables production and processing 2. Mineral fortification of district school meals etc. 3. Screening food handlers etc Available MoH budget allocation is captured in the 2015 Programme of Work page 25 where the projected total health budget for 2015 is ghc3,154 million out of which projected expenditure from donors earmarked for nutrition interventions is ghc165 million. No changes expected in year 201720-06-2018: In 2018, we will conduct a research to identify the nutrition budget lines in the respective ministries. In Ghana it is difficult to find data becouse budget lines are different in each year. The government deopartments have different names for different budget lines. therefore you may not be able to trace the same budgetline in the subsiquent year.will start measurement in the 2019 fiscal year26-04-2019: "No study was done to measure the percentage increases in budgetary allocation to nutrition eventhough we expected an increase due to inclusion of more nutrition activities in the annual plan of GHS Also, budgetary narrations on nutrition in Wa West have not been consistent between 2017 and 2018. the assembly keep changing the budget lines so annual comparism is inaccurate."CSOs will do an assessment of the district composite budget to examine any change in budgetary allocation to nutrition24-04-2020: "Figures not available and study not conducted. Allocations are done during the preparation of the Medium Term plans. On annual basis, almost all the planned activities changed making it difficult and unscientific to make comparism. Second the GHS does not receive any budget from central government. It relied on donor funding e.g UNICEF,RING and FHI360 for runing nutrition activities. Each CSO carried out this separately in the district it is working in. However, at the national level, PFAG analyzed budgetary allocation to three main ministries/sectors in the 2019 national budget to determine whether there was increase or decreased alloaction. The three sectors include MOFA (specifically on the Planting for Food and Jobs), Ministry of Health (specifically on Essential vaccines) and Ministry of Gender (School Feeding programme). In 2019 allocation to these sectors amounted to GH 77,000,000 and GH 87,000,000. The percentage change was about 12%. But it must be emphased that this is not a good indicator of budget allocations since these sectors are broad and the nutrition is subsumed in many different issues. The budget to health services delivery in 2018 was GHc787,192.17 and the projected for 2019 was the same figure, GHc787,192.17. The chart of accounts in 2018 for this figure was Compensation, Goods and Services, and Assets. The 2019 composite budget allocated GHc844,197.75 to Goods and Services, and Assets. Based on this allocation, the year on year increase from 2018 to 2019 is 7 percent . This is below the target of 10 percent for December 2019. A detailed assessment of health operations in 2018 included ampng others Sensitization on Adolescent and maternal Health activities, Financial Support to DHMT to improve health service administration.

Some services [Community sensitization on sustainable nutrition, Mineral fortification of district school meals and screening and certification of food handlers) are being implemented but not at the behest of the assembly. These services are donor driven therefore raising issues of sustainability. Currently the relevant decentralized (MoFA and MoH and to some extend GES and the Gender Dept,) give attention to nutrition service delivery and incorporate these in their annual plans. Level expected to remain unchanged in year 2017 20-06-2018: This indicator is not measured anually26-04-2019: "The increased engagements with GHS, DoA and the District Assembly as well as some few private sector has improved GHS responsiveness to the nutrition needs of rural women and children. The GHS regularly in both the Nanumba North and South Districts regularly discuss Nutrition issues in their meetings, plan and budget for Nutrition activities and release funds to implement some of the planned activities. Some of the Nutrition services improved in the period include growth monitoring, vitamin and folic acid supplementation as well as supply of food supplements. However, although these Nutrition services respond to the needs of Women and children, access and frequency of the services to deprived communities is still a major challenge. Also, these services are not focused on climate adaptation The Wa west District Assembly provided training to several health centres on how to counsel mothers of severely malnourished children on using locally available foods to overcome the situation. This is an improvement from the past where malnourished children were sent home after initial diagnosis without plumpy nuts. At the natioanl level, nutrition is taking acentre stage in how national level actors plan to execute programmes and address malnutrition. Nutrition was reflected in the 2018 National Budget and also a paragraph was dedicated to how Gov't has performed in nurition durin the 2019 State of the Nation Address."Although No change is envisaged, CSOs to intensify engagements with GHS and private sector to increase the number of services provided to women and children and also make them climate sensitive and or assessible to marginalized people.24-04-2020: "All CSOs recorded 3 for the level of satisfaction of nutrition service delivery. Except PFAG which recorded a 1. the little attention given to nutrition could also be a strong commitment the assembly has given to clean cooking and sanitation. In the era of limited resources with competing demands, there is always be an opportunity cost. Grameen 3 The quality of services rendered by the GHS did not improve significantly despite the improvement in the level of satisfaction by rural communities. GTLC 3 Officials stated the reasons for which the score is 3. it was reported that actions of the Wa West district in 2019 resulted in extension of nutrition services through CHPS (constructed news CHPS compounds) which was budgeted for in district annual plan. Supported people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Supported the activities of mental health. Supported in nutrition service delivery with means transportation( MP’s NHIA levy for special constituency projects). The following services are being provided: (i)       Community sensitization on sustainable nutrition, (ii)      Capacity building of service providers on sustainable nutrition, (iii)    Promotion of nutrition sensitive value chains e.g. soya, OFSP, leafy vegetables production and processing, (iv)     Mineral fortification (micronutrient supplementation) of district school meals etc., (v)      Growth monitoring initiatives, (vi)     School gardens promotion, (vii)   Supporting farmers and/or private sector in accessing affordable financing for operations and/or investment in nutrition sensitive value chains, (viii)  The nutrition services include climate adap ...05-11-2020: "The 5 CSOs scored an average of 3 for the level of service delivery. even though one CSO (PFAG) works at the National level, their efforts were also reflected at the MMDA level as regulations were shared from the National level for all MMDAs to act on. GG -3 No significant change in this indicator. However, there was deepening of access of services by poor and vulnerable including children, pregnant and lactating mothers as well as elderly people because of covid-19. Deeping access to service delivery in the Nunumba Municipal was as a result of the engagements made by GG. At the start of the programme, GHS was only able to make quarterly visits to communities like Bolni and Karga only to conduct growth monitoring excluding the other nutrition services. By the close of the programme this year and after several engagements, GHS is now able to increase the number of visits made to these same communities by making the visits monthly. During these visits they are also able to integrate other nutrition services which include CMAM, growth monitoring, iron folic acid supplementation, promotion of Exclusive breastfeeding. This deepened the access to nutrition services as compared to the beginning of the programme. The only issue not being met is the expansion of these services to cover all the other communities. GTLC- (4) Officials put the effort of the Assembly in providing health services at 4 because of the completion of many more CHPS compounds, the provision of an ambulance to the district which ensures that critical cases get to the health centres and referals on timely basis. Infant and maternal mortality rates were stabilised and on a downward trend. Women attending antenatal care increased from 50 to 60. Number of volunteers that had received refresher courses increased from 40 to 45. There is however more room for improvement in these figures. NORDESO -3 Using the scoring rubric, GHS in Yendi was appraised to provide score 3 nutrition services to ...The nutrition services criteria measured are 1. Nutrition sensitization 2. Promotion of nutrition sensitive crops production, 3. access to affordable financing for nutrition sensitive crop production 5. Promotion of school gardens. Reasons accounting for this ranking include: 1. All community members perceived the nutrition services to be relevant as they are geared towards promoting the health and productivity of citizens. 2.The community trainings and sensitizations on nutrition and complementary breastfeeding, growth monitoring and vitamin supplementation were considered accessible, affordable and high quality. These were mostly provided for free under donor supported projects. 3. Improved processing equipment and financial services for production and processing of nutritious foods are neither accessible nor available to communities. Level expected to remain unchanged in year 201720-06-2018: This indicator is not measured anually.26-04-2019: "Marginal increase in level of satisfaction mainly due to increased Nutrition advocacy by GG and marginal improvements in Nutrition services by GHS of Nanumba North and South owing to support from PFJ and RING programmes. However, most communities do not have access to good health facilities and technologies and farmers and private sector are not also linked to financial services for investing in nutrition sensitive value chains. The media has also played a key role. is such an interview,community members admitted knowing the need for improved nutrition but support system from govt is limited."The strengthened advocacy and engagements with MMDAs and Private sector is expected to improve service delivery and satisfaction by rural farmers. GG will conduct survey to assess the level of satisfaction by rural farmers.24-04-2020: "An average of 47% for 4 CSOS that conducted the satisfaction survey. SNVG could not carry out the survey and hence did not report on this indicator. For GTLC 43% In the Wa West, Services provided by GHS received high marks. A higher percentatge would have been achieved If this assessment were done only on these services. Worth notng that V4CP effort in nutrition in Wa West was heavy in regard to services provided by health facilities. It is also worth noting that the drawback for high marks was that V4CP did not directly engage in the totality of programmes such as the planting for food and jobs (that was providing subsidised seeds and fertilizer), apart from warehouse provision, the 1D1F (meant to support private sector to establish processing facilities in the districts). Other areas that we did not directly intervene in were financing , school gardens and fortification. These areas of intervention received low scores and therefore affected total scores. The distribution of scores reaffirms the need for improved coordination of all nutrition related programmes for succesful outcomes. GG 69% The strengthened advocacy and engagements with MMDAs and Private sector contributed to improved service delivery and satisfaction by rural farmers. GG conducted survey to assess the level of satisfaction by rural farmers. Nordeso 46% 8 FGDSs (men, women, youth and traders) were carried out in two communities (Gbungbalga and Kolmado) to determine satisfaction score of citizens concerning nutrition services delivery in the municpality. Using the scoring rubric tool, the total average score was 46%. Women among the four different groups were least satisfied with services provided to address nutrition challenges. Although a margin increase from the baseline, nutrition service delivery appears below average. Overall, men were satified across the score categories on relevance and accessibility, women in particular were accross dissatified with the services ...05-11-2020: "An average of 40.6% score was attained from all five CSOs. The CSOs recorded some form of increase in the variouse MMDAs they worked in. Though there might be some increases they were just specific to their respective MMDAS GG -71% Communities rated performance of GHS marginally higher than expected because the department was seen to be proactive in providing nutrition sensitive education in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic. GTLC- (47%) The target for 2020 was 50 percent. This is a yearly target being measure in the half year. Though there was an increase in level of satisfaction from the 2019, the target was not achieved. Nutrition discussions were dominant in radio discussion as a way to mitigate against COVID 19. The President of Ghana stressed on nutrition in his weekly COVID 19 address. Radio discussions on nutrition and COVID 19 that was conducted by GTLC emphasised the need to feed well during the period. Visitation by pregnant women did not reduce but cases of malnutrition were not seen frequently. The Wa West DHS and WIAD are also training parents on use of local crops to produce nutritious meals for the family. The Amblance service in the district improved with the supply by government of new vehicle. NORDESO -50% At the communities of Kpatia and Bunboung a total of 8 FGDs comprising men, women, youth and traders were conducted to determine their level satisfaction regarding nutrition services delivery in the municipality. Using the scoring rubric tool, the total average score was 48%. Consistent with 2019 women among the four different groups were least satisfied with services provided to address nutrition challenges. Although a margin increase from the baseline, and the 2019 score of 46% nutrition service delivery appears below average.

While the Kumasi event dealt with OH and M & E capacity stregtheing, Tamale workshops reviewed, revised and finalised 2018 work plans including the offer of communication training on media engagement and policy briefs. The CSO expressed satisfaction over the contribution of these workshops to the developnent of their capacity, hinting that these trainings beyond helping them to become more efficient on the prgramme were helping shape to the operations of their organisation, particularly in the areas of project reporting and media enegament.At minimum, two more genralised workshops, a learning event and capacity building workshops would be held together with 2 thematic workshop; mid-year review and a technical workshop.20-04-2020: One capacity development workshop was held in March 2019 on reporting and organisational development. A learning and experience sharing workshop was also held in Sogakope where achievement and lessons learnt where shared among CSOs in August. A thametic capacity development and planning workshops was also held among the RE CSOs in May in Tamale. The event focused on strengtheing networking and presentation skills as these were identified to be necessary skills set for advocacy success. Two Youtube videos covering both topics were used to facilitate the discussions.

The intention of the outreach was to sensitize and mobilize them to engage more capably with the local authority in applying for mini-grids. Attempts made to engage two other communities that have been selected to benefit from mini-grid in the district had to be post-poned twice while we were in the district because the community leaders were not ready.The CSO is expected to repeat and deepen the deliberations held in the first halfyear on the same definitive issues with other communities. The topics to be deepened will include the capacity of mini-grids to provide comparable grid quality electricity to promote acceptance, productive uses of energy beyound lighting, socio-economic and environmental benefits of RE mini-grids, the need to pay for electricity when it arrives and the need to submit formal request for mini-grid.06-05-2019: Over the period of 2018, the CSO had a number of engagements with residents and youth/opinion leaders of some communities in the Kwahu Afram Plains District. A community forum was held in Faaso Battor, a lakeside community in the district during which discussions were held on mini-grids. This was preceded by two informal engagements where the rationale and arrangements for the programme were discussed. Another meeting was held with elders of Tsidikorpe an offgrid island community at the request of the opinion leaders. It was also preceded by phone a discussion on the rationale and importance of that gathering. The intention of the engagements was to sensitize and mobilize them to engage more capably with the local authority in applying for mini-grids and other offgrid solutions. Additionally, Two informal (preparatory) meetings were held with the assemblyman and traditional rulers of Nyuinyui #1 and #2, one of the selected communities to benefit from minigrids. Finally, a community forum was organized at Nyuinyui to educate and disabuse their minds of any perceptions that mini-grids were the equivalent of solar home systems which had limitations in the uses they can provide relative to electricty services. They were taken through the benefits of mini-grids and how to effectively, efficiently, and productively use electricity to maximise resulting socio-econmic benefits and growth of the community.2 community based activities will be carried out in the first half of 2019, and 2 in the second half. We have received at least one request from a lakeside community in Kwahu Afram Plains South District,to help them acquire electricity. We shall meet with this community and other communities to sensitize them about V4CP and how they can build their capacity to be able to demand for mini-grid electricity from duty bearers. Kwahu Afram Plains North district assembly is also expected to engage and educate some communities on mini-grid electrification on behalf of V4CP .02-10-2019: For the first half of 2019, CEESD changed its engagement strategy with local communities. As part of our plan to get the assembly taking ownership of the advocacy at the district level, the district assembly was supported financially and technically to engage directly with the communities through the chiefs and opinion leaders. This is done by a five member energy committee put in place to among other things sensitise the local communities about the benefits of mini-grid and what the assembly is doing to ensure electricity is extended to the islands. The committee members, made up of the District Coordinating Director (James Armah Tandoh), the District Planning officer (Yakubu Bilali), the District Finance Officer (Ernest Agroh), the District Budget Analyst (Philip Eklu) and the District Planning Unit (Agyemang Eric), were trained on how to engage the communities with the advocacy on mini-grid. Advocacy knowledge and skills acquired by CEESD through the various V4CP capacity building workshops were transfered to the committee members. The committee has engaged 6 island communities as at June.The communities are KedeKope, Batorkope, Abiwukope, Mafikope, Nyakuikope, and Atideka-kono, all in the Kwahu Afram Plains North. In addition, CEESD had a meeting with an opinion leader of Sakabo a lakeside community in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District. This was as a result of a request made by the community to CEESD to discuss the possibility of electricity extensions to the community (see letter attached). In the meeting it was agreed that CEESD will have to do further consultation with the assembly for further action. The community was however sensitized on how to enjoy off-grid solutions in general and mini-grids specifically if they meet the criteria of selection by MoE. It was made known to the community that, should they be eligible for mini-grid, the assembly may have to do a lot of lobbying at the national level through the support of CEESD.We expect the energy sub-committee to continue to engage at least five more communities before the end of 2019. The idea is to increase awareness and knowledge of the community on mini-grids as a viable alternative to National grid and demand from policy makers when they visit their constituencies in preparation of 2020 elections.20-04-2020: As noted in the half year, CEESD changed its engagement strategy with local communities by where the Assembly was supported by way of training and funding to engage directly with the communities through the chiefs and opinion leaders. A five member energy committee was alos put together. In addition to the communities sensitisations carried out in the half year, the committee has engaged 8 addional island communities between July and December 2019.The communities include Kpalatornu, Anakpokpo, Diditikope, Abiomkope, Abashaigba, Agbodzikope, Akakpo, and Agoratokope. The intention of the engagements have been to sensitize and mobilize them to engage more capably with the local authority in applying for mini-grids and other offgrid solutions. Increasingly, it is becoming evident through these engagements that most of these island communities know little to nothing about mini-grid electrification. It is recommended that a lot more communities are reached with the mini-grid sensitization exercise. In addition, CEESD had a meeting with the cidikope island community in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District. The meeting was held at the request of the community to CEESD to discuss the possibility of electricity extensions to the community.05-11-2020: In collaboration with the District assembly COVID 19 task force and the district energy sub-committee, CEESD has engaged 28 island and lakeside communities (see pictures in narrative report). The communities are, Adofo, Apesika, Anglo Faaso, Adrome, Atidika,Mafekope, Kodidi A, Kodidi B, Ampoti, Battor, Kamalo, Ntatia, Kofi Nyina, Kayera, Kpala, lomnava, Avatime, Bodua, Supom, Liver Korfe , Tegani, Tsetsekpo, Asidikorfe, Meyikpor, Gbitugbi , Bridge-Ano, Kwasi-krobo, Alavanyo, Kpodokope, Agotime, Seibea, Abomasarefo, Adukrom, and Faaso. Women groups, chiefs, and opinion leaders were educated on COVID 19 preventive measures. They were taken through the basic precautionary measures to prevent/reduce the spread of COVID 19. At the time of the engagements, the island communities had recorded one case of COVID 19. The opportunity was also used to advocate for the importance of electricity in crisis periods and how mini-grid systems can help provide access to electricity to them. The leaders were admonished to petition duty bearers to consider deploying mini-grid electricity in their communities.05-11-2020: In collaboration with the District assembly COVID 19 task force and the district energy sub-committee, CEESD has engaged 28 island and lakeside communities (see pictures in narrative report).

Meeting with PURC to discuss operations of private mini-grid developers and application of cross-subsidy; At this meeting, CEESD wanted to know the possibility of having private sector mini-grids benefit from subsidies. PURC confirmed but indicated they ought to apply and then follow through a number of processes under the existing law. Other details about the operations of existing subsidy where as well discussed. 2. UNDP RETT expert discussion on business models for RE in view of the financing barriers militating against scale of RE projects. Different financing options were therefore discussed with CEESD actively making interventions in this regard. 3. Discussions with VRA about its readiness to manage mini-grids; this highlight the fact of mii-grids being loss making projects "potentially" and whether or not they honestly believe this was not going to further impact their already precarious financial situation negatively. Discussions around alternative development and operations models for the mini-grid sector was also discussed with the VRA indicating that much as they may be opened to other models, they are obliged as a public utility to take instructions from the Ministry of Energy. 4. informal discussions with USAID IRR about progress of V4CP advocacy and impact on government decision 5. Meeting with the German Embassy ...The CSO is expected to repeat and deepen the deliberations held in the first halfyear on the same definitive issues with the sector bodies. EC: to regularize the mini-grid licensing and operational requirements. MoE to support the involvement of private sector in the development of mini-grids. PURC to grant cross subsidies to private operators to enable all off-grid customers enjoy universal tariff without negatively impacting the operations of developers. Development partners to provide financial support for mini-grid development06-05-2019: "In 2018 the CSO held or participated in several meetings, engagements and workshops as detailed below; These generally gave the CSO the opportunity to educate, contribute to public discussions, present alternative positions and to strengthen advocacy efforts around mini-grids through collaboration with other interested parties. 1. SDG 7 plaform workshop to develop Ghana SDG 7 action plan for 2018. 2. Discussions with the World Bank on sustainable business models for mini-grid in Ghana and how to get around operational model difficulties. 3.Validation workshop for mini-grids impact study 4. Both informal and formal engagements with officials of MoE (Mr. Seth Mahu, Wisdom Togobo, Mr Andrews Bafour) to discuss funding opportunities for public sector led mini-grids and reconsideration of private sector participation to speed up the deployment of mini-grids. 5. Enagement with the Association of Ghana Solar Industries to discuss the interest of its members in the deployment of mini-grids and to identify challenges that could potentially hinder their partcipation. 5.Meeting with PURC to discuss operations of private mini-grid developers and possible application of cross-subsidy. The meeting targetteing support the regularisation of Blackstars Energy's tariff to set the tone for future orivate mini-grids. PURC confirmed the possibility and indicated they needed to apply and then follow through a number of prcesses under the existing law. 6. Discussions with VRA about its readiness to manage mini-g ...CEESD will continue to engage MoE, EC, Parliamentary select committee of mine and energy, district assembly, USAID, VRA, etc The issues to be dissussed will be dependent on the actors position and interest in the mini-grid sector. For instance, in the case of GEDAP we hope to foster partnership to educate beneficiaries of mini-grids on the productive uses of energy. GEDAP is the implementer of the government led mini-grid projects and have already depolyed five mini-grids.The assembly will be required to perform a number of activities related to V4CP this year. We shall engage the assembly to discuss the development of an electrification plan for the district and how to select communities that should benefit from mini-grid. With EC, our discussions will be focused on getting the mini-grid regulatory framework finalized while we continue to engage MoE to open up to private sector participation ansd also to ensure future mini-grids are deployed in Island communities as opposed to Lakeside communities. Discussions with PURC shall include topical issues such as integration of privately owned mini-grids into the national tarriff structure.02-10-2019: Between January and June, 2019, CEESD participated in a number of meetings, workshops and coferences pushing forward the mini-grid agenda in Ghana. The engagements included; 1. Presentation at the World Bank Africa mini-grid conference/summit in Accra. 24-28 Jun. 2019; The presentation focussed on how to promote productive uses of energy as part of universal access. CEESD presented evidence of the impact of mini-grid on socio-economic development of beneficiary communities. Challenges confronting the productive uses of mini-grid electricity in beneficairy communities were highlighted. It was indicated that, productive activities are not necessarily achieved from the promotion of sustainable access to electricity in rural communities unless conscious efforts are made to sensitise beneficiaries on the need to engage in productive activities. Government was urged to include PUE in its mini-grid electrification programme by linking it to key government programmes such as planting for food and jobs, IDIF, etc and also involve the district assemblies in the planning process. 2. Presentation at the Renewable Energy and Power Infrastructure Conference in Accra (RENPOWER Ghana); CEESD presented on the Role of mini-grids in achieving universal access in Ghana. It was indicated that looking at the characteristics of the population without electricity in Ghana, the 2020 universal access target may not be achieved if the status quo is not changed. Government was urged to adapt the existing public sector led policy on mini-grid development to make room for private sector innovation, initiative, and investment. Investors were asked to pay attention to t ...By December 2019, we plan to have a minimum of four meetings with key actors at the national and local level.20-04-2020: "In the second half of 2019, CEESD participated in a number of meetings, workshops and conferences pushing forward the off-grid agenda in Ghana with specific focus on mini-grid. The engagements include: 1. Meeting with District Coordinating Director (DCD) and energy committee members to discuss comments on the electrification plan. The committee were trained on how to cost the electrification plan and estimate the investment requirements for the technologies being proposed. 2. Several informal and formal discussions with District Sub-committee of Energy to discuss among other things how to carry out the community sensitization engagements and the development of the district electrification plan. 3.

Some of the meetings where verbal interventions were made include: 1. Meeting with PURC to discuss operations of private mini-grid developers and application of cross-subsidy. At the meeting, PURC agreed that it is possible for the private sector to enjoy subsidy but only when they apply to the PURC. CEESD was asked to liase with the private sector to apply for the license which process has now been temporality suspended by the EC. 2. Offgrid electrification investment forum. At this forum The CSO made a presentation about the impact of mini-grids on island and lakeside communities and called for government to finalize regulations that could allow for the private sector to access external funds to develop mini-grids in remote offgrid communities. 3. Discussion with World Bank about how to ensure the mini-grids are quickly deployed in Ghana and the business model to adopt. World Bank officials think private sector may ensure value for money but it (WB) cannot compel Government to change its position. It howver believes that the active collaboration of CSOs such as CEESD on these matters by way of advocacy could result in government changing policy position. 4. Discussions with VRA about its readiness to manage mini-grids 5. Stakeholders workshop to advocate for the review of the Renewable Energy Law. CEESD was a panelist at this forum a ...CEESD is expected to participate in a number stakeholder workshops plus meetings with GEDAP, USAID, VRA, EC, PURC, MoE, among others.

The interventions come in the form of presentations (slides attached), comments and/questions for clarification. 1. At the 5th mini-grid conference organized by the World Bank, CEESD made several recommendations on how to promote productive uses of energy to achieve universal access to electricity. An appeal was also made to government to reconsider its stance on the role of private sector in the deployment of mini-grids in Ghana. Government was urged to include PUE in its mini-grid electrification programme by linking it to key government programmes such as planting for food and jobs, IDIF, etc and involve the district assemblies in the planning process. It was also recommended that PUE-related interventions should include long-term capacity building, awareness creation & business mentoring, and support for PUEs in mini-grid areas in Ghana should include subsidy on commercial tariffs. 2.At the RENPOWER Ghana conference, government was urged to adapt the existing public sector led policy on mini-grid development to make room for private sector innovation, initiative, and investment. Private sector was encouraged to provide innovative business and financing models that could ensure universal tariff for the projects they initiate. Investors were also asked to consider the mini-grid sector for investment. 3. At both the IBRES and BIOGRAG workshops, CEESD outlined how biomass resources could be used to power mini-grids for offgrid electrification. 4.

For instance during the halfyear, the CSO was invited to participate in the National Stakeholders Workshop and National Forum on Mini-grids which were convened in March, 2017, with the participation over 100 officials representing Government (Ministry of Energy, Energy Commission, etc.), educational and research institutions, private sector and CSOs. Via formal presentations and public statements, the CSO emphasised on the need for factoring mini-grids investment into the national electrification plan and budget; adoption/development of regulatory framework, licensing regime and standards for mini-grid and clearer guidelines for private sector participation. The CSO undertook other dialogue sessions and direct engagements with local authority officials (Kwahu Afram Plains North District) In summary: • Five formal engagements with government, private sector, and donor agencies. • The CSO was given the platform to present its views on mini-grids during workshop on RE masterplan • Recommendation by the CSO and other stakeholders for setting aside portion of national electrification budget for mini-grids has been positively received by Ministry of Energy • RE unit of Energy Commission has forwarded draft mini-grid regulations policy to CEESD to review. This will allow views from the CSO to be considered.CSO expected to maintain a score of 2 within the second half year.08-10-2018: CEESD has appealed to the German Embassy to consider funding mini-grid projects under their climate change project. CEESD has been requested by PURC to liase with private companies selling power through mini-grid to apply to PURC for tarriff cross-subsidisation. Again CEESD has suggested to ECREEE to consider supporting private sector to develop and manage mini-grids under its regional off-grid electrification project (ROGEP). This in principle was accepted as a good suggestion as the project was initially targeting decentralised solar systems. It is expected that mini-grid development would be included in ROGEP for Ghana. CEESD has also appealed to GIZ to include capacity building of private sector in mini-grid development and management as part of its planned project for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in renewable energy and energy efficiency in Ghana. Overall, an average score of 2.5 is given.CSO is expected to maintain score for the second half of the year 2018. CEESD is planning on organizing an investment forum to solicit ideas on financing opporunities for mini-grid deployment. CEESD will also support private sector players to regularize their operations within existing framework.06-05-2019: "The CSO has deepened its collaborative relationship with stakeholders concerned with the development of mini-grid in Ghana. In 2018 CEESD also made several interventions, appeals, and proposals relative to accelerating the deployment of mini-grids in furtherance of rural electrification for the attainment of universal access through its involvemnet in programmes like the review of the RE Law and National Energy Plan of Ghana. The year als saw us leveraging the presence of our colleagues from other countries (Kenya, Honduras, Burkina, Netherlands) to appeal to legislators at Ghana's parliamnet to lend their support to private sector involvement in mini-grids and to pass the mini-grid regulatory framework when laid before them. Our push for private sector participation can be said to have been what led to the tabling of a public debate by the Energy Commission (EC) at the RE Fair on WHO IS BEST PLACED TO LEAD THE DEVELOPMENT OF MINI-GRID IN GHANA: GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE SECTOR. And to help the private sector make a strong case, we helped to enrich the arguments of the private sector by enegaging them in preparatory meeting where we enriched with the submission of relevant evidence. Shortly after the debate, the Executive Secretary of EC is reported to have said that government will partner with the private sector to develop mini-grids to extend electricity to island/lakeside communities. The request by PURC to us to liase with private companies selling power through mini-grid to apply to PURC for tarriff realignment and possible cross-subsidisation equally speaks to the recognition received. Additionally, the indication we had on the suggestion to include mini-grids as part of ECREE's regional off-grid electrification project (ROGEP) by way of supporting private sector to develop and operate them is that ECREE had acceoted the suggestion in priciple and promised to consider expanding the project beyond the initially targeted decentralised solar syste ...We hope to maintain score with a deepening of the issues. The EC will be engaged to finalize and submit the mini-grid regulation to the MoE where follow ups will be made for onward forward to parliament. The parliamentary select committee of Energy & Mines will then be engaged to ensure the passage of the regulation into an Legislative Instrument.02-10-2019: CEESD has gained reputation for issues on mini-grid development in Ghana and has deepened its collaborative relationship with stakeholders concerned with the development of mini-grid in Ghana. We have used several strategies to influence agenda setting on mini-grid development. These include media publications, presentations, formal and informal appeals and discussions. In first half of 2019, we published an article on how local authorities can help accelerate rural electrification in Ghana (https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Feature-ways-local-authorities-can-help-accelerate-rural-electrification-in-Ghana-726346). This we believe has influenced the MoE to involve the district assemblies in the deployment of mini-grids by signing MoUs with them. At a World Bank organised mini-grid conference in Accra, CEESD made several recommendations on how to promote productive uses of energy to achieve universal access to electricity. An appeal was also made to government to reconsider its stance on the role of private sector in the deployment of mini-grids in Ghana. This conference brought together several stakeholders concerned with mini-grid development. The executive secretary of the energy commission for instance indicated that his outfit was working to partner with the private sector for speedy deployment of mini-grids. The deputy minister for energy also emphasised Government's support for mini-grids by stating that feasibility studies for deployment of 45 mini-grids were under way during the 5th Mini-Grid Confrerence in Accra. The deputy director for renewable energy at the ministry of energy also stated that Government is in negotiation with Government of China for funding to construct additional 30 mini-grids by 2022. Again, at the RENPOWER conference, the director of renewable and chief director at the MoE reiterated government's commitment towards the speedy development of mini-grid. Also, the senior programmes officer at the energ ...We hope to maintain score by end of 2019. We also expect the construction of 3 new mini-grids to commence before end of 2019 and regulatory framework tabled before parliament for consideration and possibly passed.20-04-2020: Our influence at the local level has also resulted in the assembly developing for the first time a district electrification plan. Also, CEESD has been nominated to lead the community level enegagement activities for a planned hybrid biomass-solar mini-grid project. This project is expected to produce 400 kW of electricity for the community with funding from the German government.05-11-2020: CEESD have been able to influence the assembly to prepare an electrification plan for the district and have dessiminated the plan to relevant stakeholders including the Member of Parliament for the Area and the Middle Belt Development Authority. Also, through our influence, a third party donor has expressed interest in providing offgrid solution to some island communities in the district. The third party donor Carbonaid-UK's interest to provide offgrid solutions was hindered by the outbreak of covid-19.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests Evidence gathered from interview of CSOs based on scoring rubric scenario analysis. It was observed CSO had very irregular meetings with communities and local authorities By mid year, the CSO will be expected to be having regular meetings with the communities and local authorities on mini-grid issues 10-01-2018: The first formal meeting to introduce the programme has been held with district leaders. Consequently, the CSO has been invited (verbally) to present detailed info about the project to entire assembly in August, 2017. • The district assembly has also agreed to share their medium-term development plan with the CSO, with the view to incorporate mini-grid targets • The Acting Director of Energy Commission has shared a draft of the mini-grid regulatory framework for feedback • Following engagements during the RE masterplan workshop, the CSO was invited to a focused-group seminar on mini-grids by AfDB and USAID on March 23-24, 2017 .Score 2 is expected to be achieved by close of 2017 06-05-2019: CEESD have had very regular meetings and communications with government (EC, MoEP), the district assembly, the community people, and other stakeholders. A lot of relevant documents are shared and our interest is captured in two important documents, i.e, the Medium Term Development Plan, and the Mini-grid regulatory framework. The process of realising the Mini-grids daraft policy for instance began with out=r strong push for it at the renewable energy master plan review workshop and the need for a separate platform for its discusiion. The USAID then provded the plantform where together with other stakeholder delibarted on the details. We folloowed up with a private engagement with the EC and was later requestd to review the initial draft before it is presented at the more open platform for validation. In the case of including Mini-grids in the medium term development plan, the process started with an intorductio of the entire concept of mini-gird to management of the Assembly. Then follow with evidence based educatioal sessions with the general Assembly and opinion leaders. Concept became accepted and excitement was generated as the possiblities for Islands getting electricity is now known. CEESD then worked with the planning unit offering guidance on the qualification criteria among others .We expect them to maintain score for the first half of the year08-10-2018: In an interaction with officials at the ministry of energy, it was indicated that government is in the process of conducting a socio-economic impact assessment of 60 communties to benefit from mini-grid and 600 communities to benefit from stand-alone solar home systems. Further, government is planning to secure a $200 million chinese facility, part of which will be used to develop 150 more mini-grids as part of government's effort of increasing electricity access in rural Ghana. Also, the district assembly has requested CEESD to facilate a meeting with the minister of energy to discuss mini-grid projects for the district. These revelations were made to CEESD due to the level of collaboration it (CEESD) has with stakeholders. The director of renewable energy has agreed to make a presentation on the role of mini-grid in Ghana's rural electrification in achieving universal access to electricity at a forum to be organized by CEESD. He has also requested that CEESD through its partners should adopt at least one island community to build a mini-grid to demonstrate the viability of an alternative model.CSO is expect to maintain score for the second half of the year 2018. Community will be constantly updated with developments at the national level. During the upcoming RE fair, CEESD will liase with private sector to make a case for private sector involvement. CEESD will also support private sector players to regularize their operations within existing framework.06-05-2019: The CSO has had several interactions and collaborations with officials at the Ministry of Energy, Energy Commission, PURC, VRA, ECG, District Assembly, some development partners (World Bank, GIZ, SWISS Embassy, USAID), the CSOs platform on SDG 7 platform of Ghana and private companies (Blackstar & AGSI). Over the 2018 period, CEESD together with some SDG7 CSOs developed an SDG 7 action plan for Ghana. CEESD also worked with Association of Ghana Solar Industries (AGSI) & Blackstar to prepare for the RE fair technical debate on WHO IS BETTER PLACED TO LEAD MINI-GRID DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA. Important reports to strengthen the position of the private sector were shared. Also, CEESD organized a rural offgrid electrification investment forum which saw the participation of over thirty stakeholders including CSOs, private sector, USAID, EC, and MoE. This forum had been discussed with the director of renewable energy, general secretary of AGSI and the convener of the SDG 7 platform who made input to the concept note and/or programme of activities before the forum was eventually held. The director of renewable energy had agreed to make a presentation during the forum and indeed delegated his deputy to represent him at the forum. His representative delivered a presentation on the role of mini-grid in Ghana's rural electrification in achieving universal access to electricity and empahised the policy approach at the forum. AGSI, a private banking consultant and EC served as panelist at the forum. In an interaction with MoE it was indicated that government is in the process of conducting a socio-economic impact assessment of 60 communties to benefit from mini-grid and 600 communities to benefit from stand-alone solar home systems. Further, government is planning to secure a $200 million chinese facility, part of which will be used to develop 150 more mini-grids as part of government's effort of increasing electricity access in rural Ghana. Also, the district asse ...We expect to increase our degree of collaboration by 0.5 in 2019. We hope to work together with the assembly more and also work with MoE, VRA, EC, and other CSOs02-10-2019: 1. Kwahu Afram Plains North District Assembly - 4; CEESD has collaborated with the KAPNDA to train its energy sub-committee to develop an electrification plan for the district. The committee was taken through how to profile communities that qualify for mini-grid electrification. The committee has developed a draft plan which is being reviewed by CEESD. The idea of an Energy Committee was a proposal fom CEESD which was accepted by the Assembly. 2. Ministry of Energy (MoE) - 3; In an interaction with officials of the MoE, it was indicated that the three SWISS mini-grids are at various stages of development. The the deputy minister for energy also emphasised Government's support for mini-grids by stating that feasibility studies for deployment of 45 mini-grids were under way during the 5th Mini-Grid Confrerence in Accra. The deputy director for renewable energy at the ministry of energy also stated that Government is in negotiation with Government of China for funding to construct additional 30 mini-grids by 2022. The MoE has also started to sign MoUs with districts with island and lakeside commuinities on how to deploy mini-grids to the communities. These are all inline with CEESD advocacy for government to speed up the deployment of mini-grids. 3. Energy Commission - 4; The executive secretary of energy commission has reiterated the need to work with private sector for the speedy deployment of mini-grids in Ghana. This was disclosed at the 5th Mini-grid event held in Accra. 4. GEDAP - 2; We have started discussions with GEDAP secretariat to include awareness creation and modules for productive uses of energy as part of mini-grid deployment.We expect score to remain same in December 2019.20-04-2020: "1. Kwahu Afram Plains North District Assembly - 4; CEESD has collaborated with the KAPNDA to finalize the district electrification plan which was presented at a general assembly and accepted by the general assembly for inclusion into DMTDP. The district has also taken up the mini-grid sensitization exercise in the district. It has already engaged 15 island communities this year. Collaborations regarding the other stakeholders; Ministry of Energy, Energy Commission and GEDAP were linited to what had pertained till July 2019 and so no update is privided. And since the score KAPNDA is aready at the maximumscore we already provided an update of activities which does not affect the overall score of 3.5 from July 2019. "05-11-2020: "1. Kwahu Afram Plains North District Assembly - 4; CEESD has collaborated with the KAPNDA to publish the district electrification plan which has been disseminated to relevant stakeholders by the district. The district and CSO are also involved in the fight against COVID 19 with CSO providing communication and educational materials to the assembly to use for its sensitisation exercise for COVID 19 and minigrids.Already 6 island communities have been reached this year. Due to restrictions imposed due to COVID 19, we could not work with national level stakeholders (EC, MoF, MENP) as planned although we have engaged them through policy brief presentations. CEESD scored 4 for this indicator and they have regular engagements "In base year, no demands from target communities were captured CSO will support the community to make 1 request to Assembly to be included in MTDP 10-01-2018: the KAPND district assembly accepted the CSO’s request to make inputs to their medium-term development plan, in relation to mini-grid developments in the islands in the districtCSO will support the community to make 1 additional request to Assembly to be included in MTDP We expect actual value to maintain or remain unchaged in the first half of the year as effort will be put into follow ups to realise them.08-10-2018: No request/petition was made by community groups and CSO and MMDA to the MoE for mini-grid electrification during the halfyear. However, follow ups were made with the MoE where two communities were selected to benefit from the next batch of mini grids to be developed.Ongoing collaboration is expected to result in at least 2 community led petitions for minigird electrification during the second halfyear06-05-2019: In the course of this year's advocacy, one community (Tsidikorpe) made a formal request through CEESD to MoE for mini-grid electrification. Also, two Assemblymen during a town hall meeting at the assembly, made verbal requests for mini-grid/offgrid solutions for their communities. The process towards supporting these assemblymen to submit formal requests to the Ministry is underway which will be submitted in 2019. Therefore, these two informal requests have not been counted as part of this report as it would be counted in the report for 2019. Additionally, follow ups were made with the MoE where two communities in the district have been selected to benefit from the next batch of mini grids to be developed.We expect to receive a minimum of 6 formal requests from the off-grid communities in 2019.02-10-2019: Three island communities have made an appeal to the district assembly for mini-grid electrification. This was disclosed by the sub-committee on energy. The communities are Mafikope, Nyakuikope, and Dodi. The assembly is being supported to get these petitions to the MoE after the committee has finished profiling the communities and developed a roadmap for electrification of the island and lakeside communities in the district.Due to the increasing awareness of mini-grid electrification across the island communities, it is expected more appeals will be made to the district assembly. We hope to leverage on these requests to petition the MoE to make more commitments towards developing mini-grid in the district.20-04-2020: During the community sensitisation exercise, three communities made a verbal appeal to the district for the extension of electricity to the communities. The communities are Diditikope, Akakpo, and Abiomkope. The assembly has been tasked to engage the communities and explain to them what technology options are suitable for the communities based on the characteristics of these communities. The communities will then be asked to formally write to the MoE through the assembly for appropriate lighting option to be provided. The assemble will then use the opportunity to present its electrification plan to the ministry. This is expected to be done by June05-11-2020: According to the planning officer, the district has received more than 10 petitions and request for mini-grid electrification this year. The increased number of petitions/request for mini-grids electrification from different island communities. The increased number request can be attributed to the increased number of communities that have been sensitised on mini-grid electrification.confidential20-06-2018: "Five national level policy makers are found to show increased support for mini-girds development policy development. These policy amkers and their ratings are presented below; 1. Ismael Adjekumhene, head of the technical committee at PURC: 4;. He is a known champion for mini-grids at all times and speaks loudly about the inclusion of mini-grids in the rural electrofcation programme at varying platforms and workshops.

The World Bank: 4; They funded five mini-grids piloted projects and have also been very outspoken about private sector involvemnet in the sector and the tariff regime being implemented. At last one study has also been conducted by them exploring alternative business models and policy options in the sector. V4CP has been collaborating with Sunita Chikkatar Dubey and Richard Hosier at the Bank on mini-grid issues where these issues are being extensively discussed. In 2018, the Bank has funded the Ghana Development and Energy Access secretariate to conduct the feasibility of mini-grid in 60 island and lakeside communities. 2. USAID: 4; The USAID has been supporting the development of mini-grid in Ghana. They have adopted two districts (Kwahu Afram Plains North and Kwahu Afram Plains South) to build mini-grids for selected communities. They recently through US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) advertised an RFP for feasibility study and site assessment of 67 communities in Kwahu Afram Plains South and North districts as reported via this link. https://renewablesnow.com/news/ustda-supports-ghana-minigrid-project-619196/ 3. SWISS Government (SECO): 3; SECO has also been of support to the mini-grids sector and is funding the deployment of 3 mini-grids in the Volta region at Alive, Alokpem and Azizakpe. 4.

These institutions and the ratings accorded them follows below; 1. The World Bank: 4; The World Bank continues to support the mini-grid development agenda in Ghana. In 2019 the organized a mini-grid experience sharing event. CEESD was invited to make a presentation at this event. Even though Government is adamant on its public sector led model for mini-grid development, experiences from other countries show private involvement may accelerate deployment in Ghana. 2. USAID: 4; The USAID has been supporting the development of mini-grid in Ghana. They have adopted two districts (Kwahu Afram Plains North and Kwahu Afram Plains South) to build mini-grids for selected communities. Feasibility studies are presently on-going in the district. 3. SWISS Government (SECO): 3; SECO has also been of the mini-grids sector and is reprted to be preparing towards the installation of 3 mini-grid in the Volta region at Alive, Alokpem and Azizakpe.

They are also contributing to funding mini-grids on the SREP programme, funding studies on mini-grid. 5. German Government: 3; The German government through a multi-partner project is supporting Ghana with a 5 million euro grant to produce electricity from municipal waste which includes the construction of a 400 kW hybrid biomass-solar pilot mini-grid. The project was commissioned in January 2020 and contructionis set to begin."05-11-2020: "Five development partners have been very active in their support to the mini-grids sector.

The project wa ..."Involved collection and analysis of annual budget allocation and expenditure data recorded in 2016 composite budget of sector ministries. Required isolation of relevant budget lines as proxies for minigrid development activities in the districts, followed by collation and measurement of the indicators. Under SREP Program (2015-2020) Financing Plan, budgetary allocation for minigrid development is USD 83 million 2016 Expenditure figures are not yet available " With current programmes still running from one phase to the other, no changes are expected in budgetary allocation or expenditure during this reporting period 20-06-2018: We have not done any work on this yet as it was not part of the CSO plan of activities for 2017. However, the mid-year review revelaed that it would be difficult to readily find such data and so SNV is to initiate budget tracking assignment with an external consultant to esstablish the existance of such data or their best proxies where possible, to enable work onl this indicator.06-05-2019: For the first time, 2019 budget makes provision for the development of 55 minin-grids in 2019. Though the actual budgetary amount has not been stated in the budget. Thus 55 mini-grids has only been mentioned as projects to be funded under the Ministries budget. It is also important to mention that a review (a collaboration between CUTS International & V4CP) of previous MOE budgetary allocations from 2010-2017 failed to reveal specifc figures for mini-grids. There were only bulk figures for electrification generally which is difficult to be adopted even as proxy for mini-grids budget allocations. The amount spent in deploying the pilotted mini-grids has however been discovered to be US$2.5 million. Other mini-grids investments that involves the SWISS Embassy and the USAID projects would be tracked through pesonal inquiry, with the view to putting these together as baseline for 2018/2019.We can no clear % expectaton of changes in mini-grds budget allocation at the point. Howver we are hoping to see increased financial commitment from government and development partners in 2019.20-04-2020: 2019 budget makes provision for the development of 55 minin-grids. Though the actual budgetary allocation is not known, it is believed that considerable amount of money has been allocated for the development of min-grid in 2019 and beyond. It is important to note that, previous budgets did not make provisions for the development of mini-grids. The President of Ghana in his state of the Nation Address in Feb 2019 reteriated his commitment to seeing electricity being extended to all the 200 island communities that present meet the criteria for rural electrification.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

A USD 83 million budget is required for implementation from May 2015 to 2020 the component on RE Mini-grids and stand-alone solar PV systems development. No change expected within one year 20-06-2018: 2 new policy frameworks are been drafted with one under development. These are the Renewable Enerrgy Master Plan, the mini-grid regulatory framework and the Mini-grids licensing regime repectively. Also the National Energy Policy is under review at the moment which will now highlight mini-grids as part of the erural eoectrifcation process. While the mini-grids regulatiry framework is yet to be considered by parliament, the EC has started applying sections of it in its operations. V4CP have been instrumental in the drafting of the regulation and infact has been given the previlage to make input into the regulation before it is made public for stakeholder input. Also, V4CP has partcipated in both the reviwe of the MAster plan and the revised national energy policy hilighting issues of mini-grids.It is our expectation thatsome or all of these documents will be finalised and applied appropriately06-05-2019: "Various policies and plans have undergone adjustments. However not very concrete progress has been achieved in terms of implementation. Therefore the score of 3 has been maintatened. Details of various changes have been explained below; 1) Mini-grid Directive/Policy:4; The mini-grid directive which proposes public sector model has not undergone any review or changes inspite of us constantly pointing out the inadequacies in the policy to MoE and the EC. The challenge is however disgnosed to be coming from MoE and not EC. EC in our egagement with them is clearly aversed to that policy and its content and are pushing for its change except their powers are limited in that regard. Nonetheless, it would appear they are trying to compel private sector partcipation through the formulation of a regulation that would allow them to once parliament passes that. This is some kind of back door approach. For now the policy is being implemented given Blackstar Energy's license has not been renewed. 2) The Renewable Energy Masterplan (REMP):3; The REMP was validated publicly 2017 and firmed in 2018. It is now awaiting approval from cabinet. The EC has disclosed that a cabinent MEMO has been prepared but yet to be considered by the presidency. Other processes to actulaise REMP when passed including the development of financing and business models for RE technologies (including mini-grids) outlined in the REMP are currently being undertaken by the Energy Commission. 3) Mini-grid regulatory framework:2; The is still at the draft stage and is yet to be opened up for stakeholder review. There are plans by the EC to have the Parliamentary select committee on Energy review it in 2019 for possible passage. V4CP is supporting the efforts of the public stakeholder and parliamentary review in 2019 to enable timely completion of the regulatory framework. While working with the EC, we made an appeal to the parliamentarians to support and fast track the passing of the mini-gr ...At least we expect the REMP, the revised National Energy Policy and the RE Act to be fully adopted and implemeted. The Mini-grids regulation and licensing manual may also be finalised but full implementation may still suffer reisitance from MoE. Thus an overall score of 4 is expected over the year but were with a possibility of 5 being achieved if Mini-grids regulation and licensing manual goes through.20-04-2020: "The progress being made is determined using the scoring rubric for “Inclusive policies, regulations and frameworks developed, adopted and implemented”.

The REMP is expected to go to parliamentbut only for information purposes (this must have happened by now), as it requires no regulatiosn to back its implemenation. Thus, a score of 4 is awarded. 2. Mini-grid Directive/Policy: 4; The mini-grids policy directive continue to be implemented with dominance of public sector. Its implementation is is the framework on which government and development partners are presently developing mini-grids. V4CP (and other stakeholders) is of the opinion that the policy should however be reviewed to include private sector initiatives in speeding up mini-grid elecrification.

In 2020, this led to CEESD submitting alternative financing proposals through a policy brief to the Ministry of Finance and other stakeholders which may be considered.

A USD 83 million budget is required for implementation from May 2015 to 2020 the component on RE Mini-grids and stand-alone solar PV systems development. "na20-06-2018: even before the baseline there was a national energy policy adopted in 2010 which was being applied. It is this document which is now being revised and so a new draft was sent to stakeholders including V4CP for input which we did. 2 V4CP has partcipated in the review of the revised national energy policy hilighting issues of mini-grids.It is our expectation thatsome or all of these documents will be finalised and applied appropriatelyOnly very occassional encourters between women groups and youth groups with MMDAs Our interventions are expected to trigger regular encounters between women and youth groups on CC issues. 20-06-2018: Revised Energy Master Plan and the Mini-grids regulatory Framework have now been drafted by the MoE and the EC respectively with V4CP contributing to reviewing both documents ensuring that more clarity is brought to a number of issues including mini-grid targets, financing arrangement, private sector pasrticipation, arriaval of grid and many more. Indded, V4CP can be said to have been the strongest advocacte for a separate and more elaborate mini-grid policy. Thenational aEnrgy Policy document is also being reviewed for adjustment and V4CP contributed to this process.We expect these to be completed and confirmed. The mini-girds policy is yet to be made available for public expert validation where applicable but the REMP has witnessed this alrwady. At this stage, both remain draft documents and at the finalisation stage perhaps. The National energy policy is still being reviwed.06-05-2019: "From H1 above, the only ducoments that have been adjusted in 2018 by EC and MoE are; 1. The Renewable Energy Law (ACT) 2. The National Energy Policy 3. The REMP Therefore, a score of 3 is awarded for adjustment of these policy documents. The adoption of the new versions of these changed documents is however yet to happen and so a count in 2019 would be tied to progress made with their adoption. ""In 2019, our expectation of changes in terms of adjustments would be with respect to; 1. The Licensing manual 2. The regulatory framework. Of course the mini-grids policy/directive also remain unchaged and we expect no public communication of its anullment except for a subtly application of a hybrid."20-04-2020: The minigrid regulation and renewable energy master plan (REMP) are the only documents that have received some revision in 2019. While the REMP has been presented to the ministry of energy, the mini-grid regulation is expected to be submitted to the ministry soon by the energy commission.05-11-2020: Neither the mini-grids regulations nor the energy policy recieved significant further progress/adopted as planned and so a score of zero is awarded. Meanwhile, the off-grid electriificaton plan of the Kwahu Afram Plains has been adopted by the general assembly but this was not the focus of this indicator. The review of the RE Act is also still ongoing; a public notice was served to stakeholders for the review of the renewable enery law in 2020. The Ministry reports to still be sysnthesisng to be able to come up with a revised act.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0.

New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedEvidence gathered from interview of CSOs based on scoring rubric scenario analysis. CSOs undertook self assessment to determine the baselines. A key scenario indicator was the number of workshops and seminars on minigrid organized by sector bodies and development partners, with CSO participation. In addition, regular meetings take place between CSOs and MMDAs on CC issues. No change expected within one year. But V4C Project's focus will be on collaboration with VRA to sharpen the policy framework towards increased private sector participation and promotion of indigenization of knowledge, expertise and technology20-06-2018: No activity was carrid out in respect of this by CSO as they never got the chnace to engage with either ECG or VRA. This is will be conducted this year (2018). The CSO booked several appoitnments but confirmations faild. No public information has been put out by these institutions inrespect of progress made in their implementation of their RE mii-grids programme and so until CSO succeeds with an appointmet not much can be reported. On the World Bank piloted mini-grids however, the World Bank reported as of May, 2017 that the transfer of the mini-grids asset to VRA and ECG is yet to happen and that they expecteddetails of the transfer to be ironed out by May 2018."We expects implemetantion of the VRA RE mini-grids programme to take shape this year but with some adminstrative and contractual difficulties with the private sector or even in contradiction with existing policy frameworks. The scenario for score 4 of the scoring rubric fits the expected status of the minigrid programs for end of 2018. In 2018, it is anticipated that the VRA and ECG minigrid programs will take concrete shape, resulting in the commencement of their application, despite administrative and contractual difficulties with the private sector or even in contradiction with existing policy frameworks that may exist. "06-05-2019: In 2018, several interactions with VRA and ECG officials. In an official response to a letter written to the VRA in April by the CSO, it had indicated that VRA was willing to support the development of mini-grids. The support will specifcally be in the form of O&M, technical, or logistical. An official of VRA also indicated that VRA is actually considering the deployment of mini-grids for Island communities as part of its social responsibilty efforts. Meanwhile MoE has accepted its prposal of integrating mini-grids operational costs into its grid maintenace costs in the submission of tariff to PURC for approval. Same is expected from ECG. The role ECG and VRA under the current policy will be operations and management as development will be pursued by GEDAP. It is under this arrangement that VRA took over the management of the five piloted mini-grids in the Islands. By way of institutional structures, VRA has now intergated mini-grids into the Hydro directorate of the company which now has a dedicated unit for the management of mini-grids. Also for ECG, the RE directorate has been mandated to take on the responsibilty of mini-grids. Beyound setting up functional units, these institutions do not have elaborate programmes at the moment for the depoyment of mini-grids on their own. However, there are indications they will both apply for mini-grids development licenses in the future which is highly doubtful. It worthy of note that the target score of 4 for 2018 was not achieved because the original programme of having VRA and ECG develop mini-grids suddenly changed to management which did not incentivse elaborate activities. Perhaps the target was also just too ambitious on our part as we feel that even if development by them is allowed today as is being speculated, this might take some to be realised. A score of 2 has been awarded herein in recognition of the arrangements by VRA and ECG to accommodate mini-grid programmes where specified directortes a ...We expect that these institutions will develop more clearer programmes for the management and perhaps deployment of mini-grids as the regulation become completed and adopted.

VRA has indicated willingness to develop mini-grids as part of their coperate social responsibilty projects but this is not captured in any official document. It appears these institutions act on the instruction of MoE (government) when it comes to the issues of mini-grid development and we may not see any institutional programmes from them soon.05-11-2020: Our intereaction with ECG reveals that they presently do not have plans to develop institutional programmes on mini-gird expect to manage and operate systems handed over to them by the government of Ghana.

While V4CP cannot claim to be the direct causative agent for this facility, it is our view tha tthis facility indirectly benefitted from our advcacy efforts through the pressure the ministry now feels to liberalise the mini-grids space and to allowfor the testing of multiple models raher than the limited public sector led model.We expect that Kwahu Afram plains or some other area will secure a mini-grid06-05-2019: Two new mini-grids have been built by Blackstar Energy in 2018. These are located at Nyamebekyere No1 and No2, all in the Ashanti region of Ghana. Three mini-grids will be built in Ada East District, financed by State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), that is the SWISS Embassy. Tenders have been evaluated and contracts about to be awarded for installation. Also, plans are well advanced by both USAID and MoE to build more systems in the coming years. USAID's focus is on Afram Plains North and South Districts where V4CP's activties are centred.At least 3 new mini-grids (the SWISS Embassy mini-grids) will be built in 2019.24-04-2020: One new mini-hydro has been built in 2019 at Alavanyo in the Volta region (Source: https://wp.me/pafqmO-1LT). The Minister of Energy has also indicated that more mini-hydro plants will be built across the country (ource: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2019/09/28/government-to-construct-mini-hydro-power-plants-across-the-country-amewu/amp/). Contracts awarded for the contruction of three mini-grids in Ada East District, financed by State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) or the SWISS Embassy are under various stages of development as hinted by Ing. Seth Mahu of the the Ministry of Energy. Also, contracts have been awarded for the installation of 26 micro-grids in hospitals located in off-grid communities.05-11-2020: No new mini-grid system has been installed in 2020, although a number of them are at different stages of development.

However, this has not gone beyond development of ToR in the 1st half of the year. It is expected that the research will be undertaken and the results validated at a stakeholder workshop in by 31 October 2017 SNV actually reviewed the original target of 4 to 3 researches to be carried out in the 1st half year. A research topic on Sanitation Budget tracking has been dropped because there is the realisation that the WHO every two years conducts a research in Ghana on WASH budget tracking and these reports are available. Indeed we have secured the WHO 2016 TrackFin report. The Snr. Advocacy Officer, WASH has been duly informed of the change. The ToR for the research topic - "Analyses of the Sanitation Policy Environment" is at the finalization state and the bid is expected to be advertised in August 2017.

In November 2019, IF once again shared with ASDA & ASEMA officials the results of citizen’s scores for their S&H service delivery (stemming from the 2019 V4CP midline assessments). Both sets of data yielded slight improvements in terms of citizens’ assessments of service delivery by both Assemblies and Zoomlion in both districts. At the National level, IF in October 2019, IF, as part of the A4WA, shared its position paper on Integrating WASH Indicators into PHC Data Gathering Tools with the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) in a formal engagement at the latter’s secretariat in Accra. The developed policy brief was to foster the GSS' consideration of additional WASH indicators to incorporate in its data collection tools ahead of the 2020 Population and Housing Census (PHC).

"We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorEvidence gathered from interview of CSOs based on scoring rubric scenario analysis. CSOs undertook self assessment to determine the baseline and came to a consencus that they have regularly been influecing WASH agenda setting in MMDAs. For example, a CSO suggestions to revise existing Assembly sanitation by-law and revamping of WSDB was discussed, accepted and actions taken on them. In another instance, a CSO tabled the idea of social accountability at an assembly meeting leading to the creation of a budget to implement social accountability forum in the assembly. Through this citizens have been sensitized to scrutinize estimates for water connection services by the utility provider CSOs expected to achieve a collective average of score 2 within the half year.From CSOs own assessment, they have become relevant in the MMDAs and are often invited to key S&H meetings. By accessing information from portals, their own knowledge on the S&H sector and acquinting themselves with MMDA level S&H documents will be positioned to influence S&H agenda setting 10-01-2018: The CSOs have become relevant to the MMDAs and are often invited to key S&H meetings, where they have made very useful interventions. In addition, the CSOs knowledge on the S&H sector , particularly their knowledge of MMDA level S&H documents has well postioned them to influence S&H agenda settingThe score of 2 is to be maintained within the second half year. 25-05-2018: From CSOs annual reports and Log Books, they are having regular interactions with Key stakholders and they also get the opportunity to mention key interests to the government and pricate sector. Currently some of the issues raised have been put on the Agenda such as increase in budget allocation by INtervention Forum. However the score will remain at 2 to ensure all CSO are able to achieve the key scenerio for 3.with the 2 years of engagement, it is expected that the CSOs interest will be put on the agenda table for discussion.08-10-2018: The CSOs collectively attained a score of 3 on the basis that they had regular interactions with MMDA officials; had the opportunity to explain their interests on S & H; and had discussions of their agenda by key actors at the district-level . The CSOs have deepened their relevance to the MMDAs and are now having their interest on S&H being tabled for discussions during encounters with the MMDAs and to the extent that some of CSOs interests are incorporated in the annual plans of the MMDAs. For instance, CSOs interest in capacity strengthening of Unit Committee members to ensure their effective S & H role play was tabled for discussion and consequently adopted by the General Assembly in two districts in Dec 2017. In March and April 2018, one CSO made a case for increased environmental sanitation education (particularly on its gazetted bye-laws) and provision of improved solid waste disposal options during the municipal/district-level interface meetings on Community Scorecard (CSC) results. One district responded in May 2018 by disseminating communication materials on its gazetted sanitation bye-laws in its communities.The score is expected to be maintained during the second halfyear as CSOs continue to sustain their relevance in the intervention districts and anticipate that MMDAs will increase the adoption of CSOs' interests in the execution of their mandate on S&H. During the second half of the year, INTAGRAD is expected to engage and support the Nandom District in finalizing and gazetting thier bye-laws to support in achieving ODF. In the first half year of 2018, they advocated for this agenda during ther engagement meeting with the District Assembly INtervention Forum intends to lobby for participation in 2019 Annual Action Plan (AAP) review processes which the planning will commence this year.

INTAGRAD successfuly advocated for the passing of the sanitation bye-laws in Nandom which was done in December 2018. the Nandom district also purcahsed a motorbike to support S&H activiites in the district ii. USCOND also had regular interactions with the District which has led to NEMA commiting to purchase 2 motorbikes for the EHSU office to facilitate the S&H activities in the district iii. Through continous engagement, New Enery was able to support the GWMA to gazette their bye-laws which intends to support the district achieve the ODF targets. both districts were also able to revive the celebration of key global events to push forward teh agenda of SDG 6.2 "with the 3 years of engagement, it is expected that the CSOs interest will be put on the agenda table for discussion.07-10-2019: "On the degree of CSO influence, all the WASH CSOs scored 3 as all indicated they had regular interaction with Government or private sector, got the opporutnity to explain thier interests to Government and these interests were put on the agenda. IFscored a 3 with this indicator - With regards to influence on S&H agenda setting at the district-level, IF achieved a score of 3 on the premise of its regular interactions with MMDA officials; opportunity to explain its interests on S & H; and the discussion of its agenda by key actors at the district-levels. IF was involved in fourteen (14) engagements with ASDA & ASEMA officials (evidenced in IF logbook) over the first half-year. It utilized these spaces to interact with and explain its V4CP interests to district-level actors and calls for S & H improvements. For example, in March & April 2019, IF got the opportunity to lobby both Assemblies to fund aspects of its proposed V4CP capacity training for Assembly members & Unit Committee members on revenue mobilisation & community action planning to develop community/area action plans and go on mobilise resources & support to drive local-level management of S&H issues. Within the same period, the managements of both MMDAs put the matter on the agenda, discussed and proceeded to provide the requested support for the conduct of the proposed training activity. In April 2019, the ASDA DPO disclosed that IF’s proposition for the Assembly to insert percentage (%) retention clauses in its draft S&H bye-laws to allow for its benefit of a quota of exacted sanitation fines, had been tabled and discussed with the lawyer/consultant contracted to develop the draft bye-law document in the last quarter of 2018.

In 2019, one key priority area for the CSO was increased participation from the Private sector actors. This was pre-ceded by a national level call for the aactive partiicpation of the private sector at a V4CP conference held in November 2018. Following this, the WASH TOC was revised to broader the scope of the private sector partners at the MMDA level and not only focus on Zoomlion. All the CSOs mapped out private sector partners and engaged them broadly through platforms for their commitment. A score of 3 was racked up by IF on the basis of its regular interactions with MMDA officials; opportunity to explain its interests on S & H; and the discussion of its agenda by key actors at the district-levels. In August 2019, ahead of the V4CP municipal-level private sector engagement on WASH, IF shared with the key ASEMA management officials its critical propositions for the Assembly to spearhead the mobilisation of targeted private sector entities and fund the securement of a strategic venue for the activity. These suggestions were further discussed by the management of the Assembly who later provided a positive feedback and went on to provide the requested assistance in support of the private sector engagement in September. In October 2019, the ASEMA 2019 3rd quarterly MPCU meeting in Jei-River, Ofaakor, IF was given the avenue to expound on the need for the Assembly to strategize around surcharging of special sanitation levies as percentage of property rates exacted from citizens (to fee up locally generated revenue for S&H activities). The matter was subsequently discussed at length among the management officials present at the MPCU meeting and a commitment was rendered to effect that the Assembly would make contact with other MMDAs which had begun exploring with such r ...05-11-2020: "All the CSOs scored a 3 for this outcome. Currently all the CSOs actively participate in MDA level meetings and their contributions and interventions are put on the Agenda and mostly implemented.

In April 2020, it lobbied for the ASEMA committee to add its representatives to its existing WhatsApp platform in line with its agenda to foster its support for gender-responsive and inclusive WASH service planning & budgeting within the municipality. IF also called for the ASEMA MCD to be part of the platform to facilitate his responsive actions on concerns raised. All these have been implemented and IF currently participates actively in the Sub-committee. NEW ENERGY - 3 NewEnergy regularly interacted with key stakeholders at the MMDAs and PSAA in S&H. NewEnergy regularly gets opportunity through invitations and organised intervention meetings at MMDAs and Private Sector Actors Association Meetings and explained S&H issues to the key stakeholders especially key DPCU staff and local private sector leadership. Meetings yielded positive outcomes.

CSOs expected to achieve a collective average of score 2 within the half year. From CSOs own assessment, they have established rapport/acquintance with some private sector players [Waste Mangement Company (Zoomlion), financial institutions (rural banks, MFI] during stakeholder engagements in 2016. As a result there is the willingness of the private sector to support discussions on S&H issues and this is an opportunity for CSOs to influence S&H agenda setting by the private sector10-01-2018: The CSOs have deepened rapport/acquintance with the district officers of Zoomlion Ltd [a Waste Mangement Company).

In May 2018, one of the CSOs organised one (1) face-to-face with Zoomlion officials of one district to share results of citizen’s scores for its service delivery (54.5%).The score is expected to be maintained during the second halfyear as CSOs continue to sustain their relevance in the intervention districts and anticipate that MMDAs will increase the adoption of CSOs' interests in the execution of their mandate on S&H. During the second half of the year, INTAGRAD is expected to engage and support the Nandom District in finalizing and gazetting thier bye-laws to support in achieving ODF. In the first half year of 2018, they advocated for this agenda during ther engagement meeting with the District Assembly INtervention Forum intends to lobby for participation in 2019 Annual Action Plan (AAP) review processes which the planning will commence this year.

However in the 2019 Advocacy plan,each CSO will engage thier respective private sector actor at the local level. i. USCOND engaged the regional environmental health Directorate on key sanitaiton services delivery and as a result, the directorate has instituionalized the provision of user-friendly containers with ladder on quarterly basis by Zoomlion. This has resulted in increased solid waste collection in both Municipalities ii. INTAGRAD and IF had challenges with engaging at zoomlion as most decisions were not take by them. again there were contractual issues between Zoomlion and the Government that delayed in thier services delivery during the year"The Context Analysis for Sanitation was revised late last year and the target for the private sector was broadened (not only zoomlion) and will be done on MMDA-based.07-10-2019: "The average score for this indicator for the 4 CSOs was a 4 with INTAGRAD and New Energy scoring 3, UCSOND scoring 2 and IF scoring 1. during the first half year, New Energy and INTAGRAD had successful engagement meetings with teh private sector resulting in MMDAs commiting to increasing thier engagemtn with private sector. UCSOND was unable to engage the private sector as a team but they successfully influenced a local bank to support the NEMA and JMA with cleaning materials during the saturday sanitation cleanups. IF were yet to effectively engage the private sector as a lot of focus was put on only Zoomlion in the first year. Based on lessons shared by New Energy during the WASH mini-workshop on 12th July, IF indicated a new strategy to reaching out to the private sector at both ASEMA and ASDA. IF(1) In February 2019, ahead of the ASDA V4CP stakeholders’ engagement to ascertain the programme’s contributions to the district’s S&H development, IF reached out to the Central Regional Zoomlion Manager to enlighten him on V4CP’s journey in both districts and request for the company’s revamped participation as and when required (i.e. in V4CP district-level multi-stakeholder engagements). In April 2019, IF had an informal encounter with both the ASDA Zoomlion & Central Regional Zoomlion managers at the 1st Annual ASDA General Assembly meeting where it employed the opportunity to request for updates on Zoomlion's work on resolving its operational challenges as well as the identified issues from IF’s shared 2018 community scorecard findings. Within the same period, IF had another formal encounter with ASEMA Zoomlion staff during the ASEMA/Ministry of Local Government & Rural Development (MLGRD)/World Bank Stakeholders’ Consultative forum on the Urban Resilience Study Mission and National Program in Ofaakor. The issue of low remuneration for Zoomlion staff as well as their limited number to cope effectively with ASEMA’s mounting waste management issues ...this will be maintained28-04-2020: "All three CSOs except IF scored 3 indicating there was increased influence on S&H agenda setting by the private sector. This was based on the fact that there was increased efforts by the CSOs to build the capacity of mapped private sector companies in key S&H delievery services for citizens. IF attained a score of 2 given that it had opportunity to interact with key private sector entities and explain its interests for the latter to amplify its participation and support in the S&H service delivery space (specifically in terms of investments in WASH service delivery business ventures and S&H Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives). In September 2019, IF organised the V4CP municipal-level private sector engagement forum on WASH which targeted private sector entities such as local banks, microfinance institutions (MFIs), waste management companies, artisans, religious bodies & private enterprises among others). The forum provided ample info to the targeted entities on the current sanitation situation within the municipality as well as critical areas where their participation and support in terms of S&H service delivery ventures and CSR initiatives were required moving forward. IF got the opportunity to share with the latter key areas they could consider in terms of investments in sanitation & hygiene service delivery ventures and diverse options for CSR initiatives in the area of S&H: Over the course of 2019, IF made efforts to re-integrate Zoomlion into its V4CP district-level activities. As was reported as part of IF’s V4CP 2018 Annual Reporting, Zoomlion (the principal waste management firm in both of IF’s implementation districts) failed to participate in all V4CP district-level multi-stakeholder engagements carried out in 2018.

In JUne 2019, IF led the CSOs in issuing a memo to the MSWR on recommendations made by the Environmental sanitation providers association (ESPA), an umbrella body for private sanitation service providers for effective private sector engagement on S&H during the private sector engagement. amongst these recommendations was the need for tax incentives for private entities undertaking S&H services. In June 2020, the MSWR revealed that initial discussions had commenced between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and ESPA, on the urgent need for tax incentives for the private sector to invest in the treatment of liquid waste and tax waivers on equipment directly used for sanitation services. It also indicated that it had tasked the latter to furnish it with a proposal to further the engagements. NEW ENERGY -3 Training sessions on engagement and agenda setting for the PSAA and MSHAT. It offered NewEnergy the opportunity to impart knowledge and skills set agenda on WASH issues, influencing policies, roles, responsibilities . It capacity development training session knowledge to the PSAA to engage the MMDAS for involvement in S& H service delivery. INTAGRAD - 3 During the period we have innitiated formal and informal interactions/engagements with the private sector mainly, latrine Artisans, SMEs, hardware dealers and sanitation companies such as Loo, IEPA and Zoomlion Com. Ltd. This came after we interacted with the DA to identify the list of the private sector actors last year. Our interactions has been very fruitful and they gave us the chance to explain our interest, that seeks to improve their participation with MMDAs and to improve inv ...The Ministry of Sanitation actively engages CSO to explain their interests towards key the development of the strategic plan. Currently IF is the only CSO engaging the central governmeent however inputs are made from the other CSO's.

In October 2018, the MSWR indicated 50% of this fund has been released to the ministry. IF contributed to this by presenting technical memos and follow-ups to the ministry However not all issues were put on the agenda as the Government is yet to realistically priortize the implementation of CLTS. The additonal funds mostly went to urban sanitaiton in Accra"In 2019, its expected that CSOs' agenda will be discussed by the MSWR. At the national level, Intervention Forum will actively participate in the review of the policies where recommendations from the assessment is expected to be included in the finalized policy.07-10-2019: "Here, IF chalked a score of 2 as a result of the opportunity it had to explain its V4CP interests on S&H in its four (4) engagements with the MSWR (listed in IF logbook) over the half-year. An instance of this can be seen in March 2019, when IF, as part of the A4WA, linked up with CONIWAS to request clarifications on the status of the stalled NSA during a roundtable discussion with the MSWR in Accra. In April 2019, IF got the opportunity to call on the MSWR to initiate processes for the addition of CSOs to the composition of District S&H M&E teams as a mechanism to triangulate field-related activities by MMDAs at the National Basic Sanitation Information Systems (BaSIS) Orientation Session for Stakeholders in Accra. In June 2019, at an engagement to present two (2) policy briefs on the role of the private sector in WASH and the review of outdated WASH sector policies, the prospect of the review of WASH policies/strategic documents was discussed by an eight (8)-member MSWR team (comprising of the Chief Director of the Ministry and his team of Directors & Programme managers) and the A4WA. The MSWR demonstrated intent to carry out the process and shared its plans to solicit varied forms of support from national-level WASH actors in order to commence the process. "this will be maintained28-04-2020: "For the reporting period, IF met its stipulated target of achieving a score of 3 by 2019’s end. By this, it was able to regularly interact with its national-level actors, explain its interests on its V4CP advocacy issues and get its agenda discussed by key actors at the national level. In June 2019, IF as part of the A4WA engaged officials of the MSWR and went on to present two (2) policy briefs on the role of the private sector in WASH and the review of outdated WASH sector policies. IF’s calls therein was discussed by an eight (8)-member MSWR team (comprising of the Chief Director of the Ministry and his team of Directors & Programme Managers) as well as A4WA members present. The MSWR demonstrated intent to carry out the process and shared its plans to solicit varied forms of support from national-level WASH actors in order to commence the process. In September 2019, during CONIWAS’ National Dialogue on the National Sanitation Authority in Accra, IF’s suggestions for the coalition to itemize the gender mainstreaming of the Environmental Sanitation Policy (ESP) (as part of sector calls for Government to review the outdated WASH policy reviews) was discussed and noted by the group. It was subsequently captured as part of the draft position paper to be used for the engagement with the MSWR and the Parliamentary Select Committee on Works & Housing prospectively. "05-11-2020: " One emerging issue from the 1st A4WA meeting was the consensus by members on the issuance of a press release on the requisite actions required from Gov’t in the wake of the unfolding COVID-19 incidence in the country. In view of this, IF led the A4WA to develop and issue a press release (on Thursday 26th March 2020) which, among other things, called for sustained long-term strategies such as a clearly-defined role for the MSWR, commitment of portions of the Government’s dedicated 100 million dollars (USD) to the MSWR, sustained improvements in WASH sector financing, key institutional strengthening at all levels, culturally-appropriate behavioral change communication (BCC) initiatives and the creation of a truly enabling environment for vibrant private sector participation in WASH service delivery. "We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests Evidence as based on interviews with CSOs based on scoring rubric scenario analysis. The Municipal/District Planning Coordinating Unit (M/DPCU) is responsible for facilitating broad base consultation on S&H issues in the MMDA. Scoring rubric assessment shows that M/DPCU meets four times in a year which is a statutory assignment. There is however no evidence on whether these meetings bring on board all relevant stakeholders including private sector (MFIs, Banks and Waste Management Companies), CSOs, CBOs and traditional authorities.CSOs will advocate at MMDA level the importance of broadbase consultation on issues of S&H improvements. Engagement meetings with the private sector, CBOs and traditional authorities on the subject will facilitate the process. CSOs expect to achieve a collective average of 2 within the half year 10-01-2018: Having requested from ASDA the opportunity to participate in scheduled General Assembly meetings, IF honoured the invitation by the former on Thursday 29th June, 2017 at the SDA Church, Awutu-Beraku. Prior to this invitation, IF has gathered preliminary information on sanitation situation in the district. IF used the opportunity to brief Assembly members on the V4C project, the preliminary sanitation data collectedg carried out and then requested for Assembly’s intervention in addressing the Bawjiase market area refuse situation. Based on the scoring rubric this action attracts a score is 2.The score of 2 is to be maintained within the second half of the year. 25-05-2018: The DPCU has been implementating the statutory requirement of involving the CSOs in the planning of S&H issues. Majority of the CSOs actively participate in S&H platforms such as the M/DICCS and existence of DSHATs. The CSOs also shared key data such as the findings of the level of satisfaction at the institutional level with the stakeholders. At ASDA, IF organized a stakeholders meeting which included Assembly staff and members, traditional heads and MFI/Bank Representatives and a call for increased budgetory allocation was made to the key stakeholders presentIts expected that CSOs will still engage in regular meetings and discuss relevant theme related information with the government and Private Sector. However, CSOs will be guided to ensure that these discussions will generate into plans made by all the S&H stakeholders in 2019.08-10-2018: In 2018 so far, the CSOs had regular engagements with the participating districts on relevant sanitation and hygiene issues(evidenced by the encounters cited). Officials of the MPCU have began satisfying the statutory requirement of including CSOs and private sector as part of their committees.The score is expected to be maintained during the second half-year. During this period, there has been effective collaboration between CSOs and the MMDAs including data shared and discussed amongst CSOs, Government and the Private sector. Due to the decentralization system of the country, the MMDAs are able to plan independently at the District level. However Zoomlion operates from the National level making it difficult to make key planning decisions thus the score of 2. After the private engagement at the national level, its expected that the project can directly advocate for plans by linking the national to the district for easy planning26-04-2019: "i. For this Indicator USCOND scored a 3 for both Government and Private Sector USCOND is a member of the Municipal Planning Committee Unit for Jomoro Municipal Assembly and Nzema East Municapal Assembly which satisfies the satutory requirement of including CSOs and private sector of the committee. USCOND also collaborates with the Municipalities to orgainze town all meetings and public forum and has also partnered with OICI to organize alliance meetings with the municipality. Jointly organized key global events (GLobal Handwashing Day) with the Schools. For the Private Sector, Zoomlion was the main private sector organizaton that USCOND collaborated with. In 2018, Zoomlion participated in all the Munical level planning activites including town all meetings. However due to Zoomlion operating from the National level, some high-level action points such as increased in staffing could only be done from the national level discussions but local level decisions such as increased number of solid waste management was achieved especially in Jomoro Municipal Assembly ii. Intervention Forum scored a 3 for both Government and Private Sector In respect of collaboration with S & H actors in 2018, IF scored 3 on the basis of its regular engagements; info/data sharing; and plans jointly made with both MMDAs/national gov’t officials, other WASH CSOs/INGOs and the private sector on relevant sanitation and hygiene issues. iii.

Ensure increaed follow-ups will be done and more documents shared to increase interest from MMDAs07-10-2019: "On the level of collaboration, all the CSOs scored a 4 excpet for IF which scored a 3. IF(3): In the area of degree of collaboration, IF had a score of 3 on the basis of its regular engagements; info/data sharing; and plans jointly made with both MMDAs/national gov’t officials, other WASH CSOs/INGOs and the private sector on relevant sanitation and hygiene issues. Over the half-year, IF racked up twenty five (25) encounters with both MMDAs and at the national level on its V4CP S&H issues (as highlighted by the encounters cited under the qualitative analysis of indicator D1). At the district-level, IF initiated several follow-up and face-to-face encounters with officials of both MMDAs to discuss its V4CP advocacy issues. For e.g., on 26.02.19, IF called on the ASDA DCE to discuss and rehash its call on the Assembly to prioritise the review of its draft S&H bye-laws to ensure the retention of a percentage (%) quota of sanitation fines as a sustainability measure. At the national level, IF took the opportunity to engage with MSWR officials on its national advocacy issues on platforms such as the CONIWAS roundtable discussion with the MSWR on the status of the National Sanitation Campaign (March 2019); MSWR’s National Basic Sanitation Information Systems (BaSIS) Orientation Session for Stakeholders (April 2019); and again, CONIWAS’ national engagement with the MSWR on the creation of the National Sanitation Authority (NSA) (June 2019). In terms of the sharing and discussion of relevant theme-related info, IF held four (4) follow-up engagements with Assembly officials at the district level in which it sought for and received updates/data on key commitments and emerging S & H issues in ASDA & ASEMA (on 26.04.2019 & 15.05.2019). In March 2019, IF organised two (2) capacity training/refresher session on the Environmental Sanitation Policy (ESP) in which it dispensed thematic S&H knowledge stemming from the ESP to district and subdistrict actors (i.e. st ...Its expected that the level of collaboration with the 3 CSO will remain unchanged. However with IF new strategy of engaging with a wider set of private sector actors, its expected they will score 428-04-2020: "For the year under review, all the CSOs scored 4 for improved collaboration. Based on interactions and engagements, all WASH CSOs agreed that they were have regular meetings with Government and private sector actos and a lot of follow-ups done included interests of the CSOs . For the year under review, IF collaborated with its targeted district & national level actors to great effect. In doing this, IF upped its score on collaboration to four (4), meaning that the organisation had regular engagements with key actors at various levels; sought, shared and discussed relevant WASH info with other CSOs, government and the private sector; and made plans jointly with MMDAs/national gov’t officials, other WASH CSOs/INGOs and the private sector on relevant S&H issues; and finally, had follow-up actions taken by the latter which included IF’s V4CP interests. Examples of these include the joint IF & DSHAT one-on-one engagement with the ASDA District Chief Executive (DCE) to petition him on pressing S&H issues requiring the Assembly's intervention in the various communities (27.08.19); the V4CP inter-district learn & share event for MMDA officials to foster sister district collaboration and facilitate learning & replication of valuable insights & experiences, key milestones, approaches and best practices in addressing S&H issues (05.09.19); and the ASEMA V4CP Private Sector Engagement on WASH in Kasoa to foster private sector buy-in and increased support in terms of S&H service delivery ventures and CSR initiatives (12.09.19). In respect of sharing and discussion of relevant theme-related info, IF held eight (8) separate follow-up engagements with Assembly officials at the district level over the course of the year. In these engagements, it sought for and received updates/data on key commitments and emerging S & H issues in ASDA (on 26.04.2019 & 11.12.19) and ASEMA (15.05.2019 & 10.12.19).

CSOs are provided with information on policy implementation decisions by the district hence some accountability mechanism are set up at the district assembly level but these are not functioning. Progress expected to remain unchanged in year 2017 20-06-2018: The CSOs are intermitently called for meetings. Again the DICS/RICCS meetings which are organised twice yearly are accountability platform to take stock of the implementation of sanitation activities. Again participation of CSO in the annual CLTS stock taking creates a platform for CSO and MMDA to give updates on what is beind done in thier respective districts in relation to sanitation and hygiene. IN 2017, IF gave a presentation on the role SNV and the Sanitation allisance is playing in advocacy and promoting good sanitationsame is expected for the 2018 with the CSOs participating actively in S& H planning meetings and platforms at the local level.26-04-2019: "i. West Gonja District and East Gonja Municipal Assembly scored a 2 New Energy has had discussions with the Budget and Finance Officers of the WGDA & EGMA on S&H accountability issues. They have both agreed to work towards removing barriers to transparency and accountability on S&H budgeting and expenditures. ii.Both MMDAs in ASEMA and ASDA scored 3 which indicates that currently the CSO benefits from information by both Assemblies on critical S & H decisions; and both MMDAs demonstrated transparency and provided IF with feedback (upon request) iii. Nzema East and Jomoro municipal both scored a . USCOND organized an accountability mechanism forum with key MMDA staff and stakeholders from the community level to determine the level of work by the assembly and satisfaction levels of the community members."All CSOS will be trained on accountablity and these will be done twice in the year to encourage accountablity. One of the key lessons from the learning event in Kenya was our participation in an accountability forum in the Kericho County. Based on the interaction between the three counties present, the CSOs identified this as a platform to hold MMDA accountable for sanitation interventions.28-04-2020: "Due to increased interaction among the CSOs and DSHATS, all the CSOs scored 4 except INTAGRAD that scored a 5 for accountability mechanisms. IF’s assessment of both Assemblies along lines S&H accountability considerations bared the fact that both MMDAs had improved from a score of 3 to 4. The improved score of 4 here means that formal structures/procedures exist for the MMDAs’ feedback/consultations with IF. As a clear example, in May 2019, IF participated in the PRCC’s meeting to review & formally approve the Assembly’s customised complaints’ form template (tailored from a sample developed & shared by IF with the CSU). This follows IF’s formal appointment to serve on the ASDA Public Relations and Complaints Committee (PRCC) in the CSO slot in May 2018. Since that period, IF has been invited to the Assembly’s scheduled PRCC meetings and benefit from feedback. In April 2019, IF was formally invited by ASEMA to participate in a stakeholders’ consultative forum organised by the latter to solicit inputs on the municipality’s developmental issues ahead of the upcoming Ghana Secondary Cities Support Program – Urban Resilience Study Mission and National Program, led by the Ministry of Local Government & Rural Development and the World Bank. In June 2019, ASEMA made steps to put together the EHSU Whatsapp platform, comprising of over eighty (80) district & regional level actors such as the ASEMA Municipal Chief Executive, Municipal Coordinating Director, Assistant Directors, all EHSU permanent & nation builders’ corps (NABCO) staff, Assembly members, Regional & District Zoomlion Managers & selected field staff and other sanitation service providers.

IF - 5 In late last year the DSHAT for both ASEMA and ASDA were formally recognized as citizens advocacy structures at the MDA level. They currently have a formalized reporting M&E structure and an annual plan for holding accountablity forums. These were part of the sustainability plans developed for the citizen advocacy plans. NEW ENERGY - 5 The ccountability committees in East and West Gonja Municipalities organised a live radio program to account to the people. The Planning Departments of the DPCUs and DEHU made live radio prsentations on their WASH acivities and budget and solicited phon- in call for clarification and answers. The MMDAs also act on demands made on them for changes in their plans, policies and practices An accountabily commitee weref formed by NewEnergy in collaboration with the MMDAs.

Municipal/District Planning Officers & ii. Municipal/ District Environmental Health Officers These scores for each individual officer were aggregated and an average of 3.5 was struck for the various Districts/Municipalities. The figure implies that both sets of policy makers were supportive of the SH4ALL advocacy issues. Both officers were accorded the score on the basis of increased priority to S & H through actions such as remarks aimed getting others to support S & H issues at the V4CP district accountability forum; participation of scheduled meetings (e.g. involvement in participatory monitoring/social audits in Nov. 2018); on-the-field involvement in cleanup exercises ; and involvement in bye-law development/review processes among others. The M/DEHOs also demonstrated improved supportiveness through actions such as the review and updating of M/DESSAPs in both Assemblies; participation in all V4CP-related activities; multiple calls on citizens and other district-level actors to support the S & H course during V4CP accountability forums in Nov. 2018; submission of S & H issues for discussion during M/DPCU meetings; and championing for increased budgetary allocations & the release of funds to execute S & H plans. "As there is increased commitment, this will be maintained.28-04-2020: "Over the reporting period, key MMDA staff were targeted to benefit from knowledge improvement on key sanitation and hygiene trends to improve service delivery. Key target MMDA staff included the Municipal/District Chief Executive, District Coordinating Directors, Environmental health Officer, Planning or FInance Officer and in some cases the Gender Desk Officers. This indicator was measured through a questionaire were the ultimate capacity score shold be above 70%. the score were based on: i. Knowledge of Policies ii. KNowledge of Responsiblities iii. Knowledge of thie roles In terms of knowledge/capacity scores for both sets of targeted ASEMA & ASDA officials, IF maintained its 2018 score of two (2), implying that two (2) out of the four (4) key officials (two (2) Municipal/District Environmental Health Officers (M/DEHOs) & two (2) Municipal/District Planning Officers (M/DPOs), assessed in both assemblies, scored above the capacity score of 70%. In December 2019 (specifically on 10-12-2019 & 11-12-2019), IF carried out the assessments of the four (4) key officials (2 M/DEHOs & 2 M/DPOs) in both assemblies to track changes in respect of knowledge levels on existing S&H policies as well as policy’s prescribed roles & responsibilities for various actors. In doing so, it made use of the knowledge assessment tools developed for the measurement of Outcome F in interviews with the targeted Assembly officials. In the case of ASDA, the substantive DPO could not be interviewed, given that he had travelled outside the country on a study leave four (4) months prior. His assistant was interviewed instead. On the matter of the resultant scores, the assessments brought to light that the ASEMA MPO scored 67.1% whereas the ASDA Assistant DPO attained a score of 62.9%. Both scores however were lower than the threshold of 70% which signify favorable capacity score in terms of knowledge of S&H policy, albeit they were improvements on 2018’s scores of 62.9% (ASDA) ...05-11-2020: due to the sensitive nature of the information, no further information is provided"Involved collection and analysis of annual budget allocation and expenditure data recorded in 2016 composite budget of selected districts. Required isolation of relevant budget lines as proxies for S&H activities in the districts, followed by collation and measurement of the indicators. Relevant activity budget lines used include: 1. Facilitate Private Participation (PPP) in Waste management 2. Implement District Sanitation Improvement (DESSAP) Plan annually. 3. Fumigation of selected areas of district. 4. Procure waste collection equipment and protective clothing. 5. Promote CLTS in the district 6. Installation of hand washing systems at public stations etc. The S&H budgeted amounts (provisional) in the 2013-2016 MTDP in GHS for 4 MMDAs as given by the budget and planning officers are: 1. Nzema East MA Budget = 639,099.67 being 18.77% of DACF received (3,455,682.47) 2. Jomoro DA Budget = 348,305.72 being 13.4% of DACF received (2,599,296.43) 3. Awutu Senya DA Budget = 28,011.25 (5% of IGF) + 215,224.19 (4.51% of DACF) 4. Awutu Senya East MA Budgeted = 725,000 (28.17% of IGF) + 1,345,00 (38% of DACF). These percentages are exceptional. Even though from the Budget Analyst the Assemblies are not restricted on percentage to allocate for sanitation, most MMDAs' allocation hardly exceed 7.5% of the DACF No change expected in 2017 25-05-2018: Budgetary allocation at the District level is quite difficult to measure as allocation from government is not done at regular basis. Sanitaton is also yet to be prioritized at the district levels hence the IGF received by the District is often used for other purposesBudget allocation figures still not accessible. However, relevant activity budget lines to be analysed include: 1. Facilitate Private Participation (PPP) in Waste management 2. Implement District Sanitation Improvement (DESSAP) Plan annually. 3. Fumigation of selected areas of district. 4. Procure waste collection equipment and protective clothing. 5. Promote CLTS in the district 6. Installation of hand washing systems at public stations etc.26-04-2019: % increase in 2018 annual budget allocation for sanitation = 55% % of relative annual budget allocation for sanitation (as a % of total district budget) = 13.2% "Only Inftervention Forum recorded an increaese in the budget allocation at the MMDA level. In absolute figure terms, ASDA’s budgetary allocation for sanitation went up from GHC502,384 in 2016 to GHC621,612.26 in 2017 and then to GHC963,865.16 in 2018. For West Gonja thier budget for sanitation delivery increased as they sought external funding from UNICEF. These figures were not received but efforts will be made to have an estiimate of the funds being allocated to East Gonja Municipal"Target 25% increase in budget funding (either MMDA or external Sources) to increase sanitaiton services delivery at the Awutu Senya District Assembly as tracking budget allocation for this district as been easier in the past.28-04-2020: "ASDA % increase in 2019 annual budget allocation for sanitation = –50.7% % of relative annual budget allocation for sanitation = 5.7% ASEMA % increase in 2019 annual budget allocation for sanitation = 15.8% % of relative annual budget allocation for sanitation = 8.2% For the year under review, ASDA’s sanitation budget allocation dropped by 50.7% from GHC963,865.16 in 2018 to GHC475,603 in 2019. It similarly decline in terms of the Assembly’s relative budgetary allocation (i.e. from being 13.2% of the total 2018 ASDA budget to 5.7% of the total 2019 ASDA budget). The 2019 figure was significantly lower but was however expected given that in the last V4CP annual report, budgetary allocations for S&H were projected to decline significantly on the back of the central government’s restrictive directives (issued in May 2018) to all 254 MMDAs in the country regarding the allocation of the District Assemblies’ Common Fund (DACF) to Ghana School Feeding Programme; the National Builders’ Corp (20%); and Planting for Food and Jobs Initiative (20%). Beforehand, the Assembly’s S&H budget allocation had seen a 31.3% increase (to GHC502,384 in 2016) in 2016, a 23.7% increase (to GHC621,612.26 in 2017) in 2017 and a 55% jump (to GHC963,865.16 in 2018) for the 2018 fiscal year. In contrast, ASEMA’s 2019 budget allocation for sanitation increased by 15.8% (i.e. from GHC847,171.53 to GHC981,359.13 in 2019). In relative budget allocation terms, it however remained unchanged from the 2018 figure (i.e. 8.2% of the total 2019 ASDA budget). Over the course of the last few years, ASEMA’s S&H budget figures has also seen some fluctuations. It declined from GHC2,121,279 in 2017 (60.1% decrease) to GHC847,171.53 in 2018 before seeing the recent upturn by 15.8% in 2019. In comparing the two districts, it is important to note that ASEMA is an urban nodal municipality with a significantly higher population size, greater business activity and much higher internal revenue ge ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

MMDAs adapted and customised NESSAP into MMDA strategy dubbed District Environmental Sanitation Strategy and Action Plan (DESSAP). In some MMDAs, the Rural Sanitation Model and Strategy (RSMS), the national strategy for delivering rural sanitation is also operational, albeit implementation is low. DESSAP, however, has been largely reduced to meeting a requirement during the functional operational assessment tool (FOAT) for getting additional funds from the District Development Fund (DDF) No change expected. 2017 will be devoted to policy education and facilitating discussions on bottlenecks to policy implementation at MMDA level. MMDAs will be supported to distil the policies into implementation strategies for 2018 25-05-2018: the ministry has developed a policy but yet to roll out its effective iplementation. The planning guidelines have been reviewed to include sanitation indicators and all decentralised bodies are mandated to use them.The project will in the year conduct a study on the review of key policies in relation to the structure of S&H implementation in the country. The review amongst other things will look at the relevance of these policies and the direct impact on citizens. It will include interactions with implementing stakholders and Focus group discussions.

By this score, a new/adjusted S & H policy is being considered by national government (i.e. the MSWR). The MSWR, in October 2019, put out its concept, terms of reference (ToR) and budget for the revision of 2010 Environmental Sanitation Policy (ESP) and National Environmental Sanitation Strategy and Action Plan (NESSAP) which it went to share with development partners. It has since been revealed that the Government is currently recruiting a consultant to undertake the initial desktop data for the process. While this implies progress, it is yet to translate into the development of a draft policy document, hence the score remains unchanged. "05-11-2020: "INTERVENTION FORUM The score of 1 was maintained.

Most MMDA sanitation by-laws have not been gazzetted and to some MMDAs, they cannot enforce by-laws using non-gazzetted by-laws. Nonetheless, the few that are enforcing say that there are other sanitation regulations that supports their actions No change expected. However, MMDAs will be facilitated to review the by-laws and put action plans in place to enforce by-laws in 2018 25-05-2018: In the Awutu Senya Muncipal assembly, Wa Municipal and nandom district has developed by-laws in S&H throught the capacity building of the MMDAs on sanitation and Hygiene Issues. Intagrad supported the Wa Municipal and Nandom District to develop action plans to enhance the formulation and gazzeting of thier bye-lwas. Currently sanitation related offences cannot be prosecuted as there is not legal backing to prosecute offenders. The CSO were also able to let CSO know that Acti 939 supports the gazzeting of bye-lws at teh REgional Coordinating CouncilCurrently, all CSOs have initiated steps in gazetting sanitation bye-laws in their respective Districts. With the setup of the DSHATs in the various districts, its expected that bye-laws will be finalized and gazetted26-04-2019: "Generally all 4 CSOs supported their respective MMDAs in drafting an all inclusive bye-law for sanitation enforcement. i. The Nandom District scored a 3 whilst the Wa Municipal scored a 2. For Nandom, INTAGRAD undertook a sensitization program with the Assembly members and key influential persons in the District to build thier capacity and understanding of the Bye-laws. This understanding and clarity made the enforcement easy as they knew the processes to be undertaken when a citizen goes against the law. the security agencies and courts were also sensitized. In the Wa Municipal, they scored a 2 as they were yet to fully sensitize the key stakeholders (such as security and court system) on the bye-laws enforcement. ii. In ASEMA, the score was a 3 as the bye-law was adjusted. In 2018, during the enforcement of the bye-law (passed in 2017), the municipal realized all the ""fines"" goes into a consolidated fund that often is used for their administrative activites at the Assembly. Through engagement with the Assembly, a percentage of these fines will be specifically given to the sanitation unit to undertake sanitation interventions per their annual action plans. iii. in JMA and NEMA, USCOND successfully ensured the MMDAs are adhering to and providing disability user-friendly facilities for sanitation and hygiene as well as targeting women and vulnerable groups in designing and developing sanitaiton and hygiene facilities. They scored a 2 as they were effectively participating in engagement meetings relating to inclusiviness but in some case their recommendations for alterning some projects were not included as some had cost implications"Gazette all MMDAs bye-laws and supprt in sensitizing community members of its implementation28-04-2020: "The average score for this outcome was 3.5 as compared to all the scores of the CSOsDuring the year under review, appreciable gains were achieved on the sanitation bye laws. In Nzema East and Jomoro Municipal Assemblies, both bye-laws have been passed and gazetted. In the 2020 budget, they both put funds for the sensitization and full enforcement of the bye-law. In the East Gonja and West Gonja MMDAs, both bye-laws have been gazetted. IF maintained its aggregate score of three (3) from the last reporting period. Specifically, ASEMA upheld its score of 4 which implies that their new S&H bye-laws are in effect within its jurisdiction whereas ASDA could not move up the expected notch to gazette its S&H bye-laws, hence maintaining last year’s score of 2. This inertia is largely attributable to the fact that ASDA made no substantive progress in respect of its gazetting and subsequent enforcement of its S&H bye-laws. In April 2019, ASDA shared that it had submitted its final draft bye-laws to the Central Regional Coordinating Council and was awaiting feedback from the latter to move the process forward. In May, the ASDA DPO disclosed that the review process was done but the gazetting of the bye-laws was being by held up the absence of funding to push it over the line. This, he indicated, was further accentuated by the issue of restrictive directives to MMDAs regarding the use of the District Assemblies’ Common Fund (DACF) as well as delayed DACF releases. On the other hand, in June 2019, ASEMA completed the gazetting of its modified sanitation bye-laws which included provisions that allowed for it to exact increased penalty units to facilitate deterrence as well as the retention of a percentage quota of sanitation offence fines. ASEMA’s attempt to plough back a percentage quota of exacted sanitation offence fines, however, hit a snag with the Judicial Service communicating to the Assembly that any such endeavours would constitute an incursion and wo ...05-11-2020: "NEW ENERGY - 5 Inclusive bye-laws are gazeted in West and East Gonja Districts.The West and East Gonja Municipal Assemblies have developed and gazetted inclusives S&H bye-laws.

This will be measured through scoring card at teh institutional level and focus group discussions at the community level. The Baseline will be measured by mid-yearBased on figures received from ASDA and ASEMA and other key policy review at the National level which will transcend to the District level, its expected the service level of sanitation will improve.28-04-2020: "During the reporting year, data was collected by the CSOs to ascertain the level of citizens satisfaction on service delivery in relation to sanitation and hygiene. Whilst IF conducted this study in October 2019, the remaining CSOs conducted the survey in December 2019. Over the period IF had consistenly undertake measurement for citizens satisfaction and shared results as an advocacy data in both MMDAs. In 2019, the other CSOs were supported in undertaking this activity to enable comparison be done before July 2020. Results from IF indicates: ASDA = 2.2% increase (from 47.1% in 2018 to 50.8% in 2019). ASEMA = 3.7% increase (from 45.3%in 2018 to 47.5% in 2019). In October 2019, IF met with citizens in focus group discussions (FGDs) to undertake the V4CP midline community scorecard (CSC) assessments of sanitation & hygiene (S&H) service delivery by both Assemblies (i.e. ASDA (29.10.19) and ASEMA (31.10.19). The activity was essentially purposed to track changes in terms of levels of citizens’ satisfaction with sanitation & hygiene (S&H) service delivery by ASDA and ASEMA (on the back of similar assessments held in February 2018). Like the baseline assessments in Feb. 2018, it targeted representatives of women’s groups, youth, landlords’ associations and PWDs from various communities. In ASEMA, participants were sampled from three (3) out of six (6) zonal areas and specifically, six (6) selected communities & suburbs whereas in ASDA, participants were drawn from five (5) communities (see inserted V4CP CSC midline assessment reports in 2019 IF V4CP annual report). IF employed the V4CP CSC tool with expanded criteria (developed by SNV) to conduct the assessment of both Assemblies on eight (8) S&H services including the provision of inclusive/disability-friendly institutional toilet facilities, provision of improved solid waste options, support towards improved household toilet facility construction, sanitary inspections, sanitation enforcement, ...05-11-2020: "Only 1 CSO was able to undertake this survey due to restrictions of movement and availablity of staff.

On a scale of 1 to 5, the average score was 1 representing very bad service delivery. This was the outcome of communities assesement of sanitation and hygiene service delivery by ZoomLion Company Limited (a private waste management company contracted by Government for all MMDAs across the country) based on the following criteria. - performance of waste management companies - inclusive (disability friendly facilities) designs of sanitation facilities (collection skips) - response rate of ZoomLion Company Limited to community sanitation related complaints # of communities with access to ZoomLion service provision No change expected in 2017 20-06-2018: Yet to be doneThis outcome will be measured mid 2019 to have a better assessment of private sector provision to improve citizens satisfaction.n/a28-04-2020: "ASDA Zoomlion = 6% increase (from 54.5% in 2018 to 60.5% in 2019). ASEMA Zoomlion = 0.5% increase (from 54.5%in 2018 to 55% in 2019). As part of the V4CP midline community scorecard (CSC) assessments of sanitation & hygiene (S&H) service delivery by both Assemblies in October 2019, Zoomlion was similarly assessed on its performance (in both districts ASDA (29.10.19) and ASEMA (31.10.19)in two (2) services namely the collection, transport & disposal of solid waste and public places, streets and drains cleaning. In terms of citizens’ assessments, ASDA Zoomlion saw a marked improvement from 54.5% in 2018 to 60.5% in 2019 (thus improving by a more significant 6%). This jump was seen visibly in citizens’ positive rating of the entity in respect of its service – collection, transport and disposal of solid waste (from skip containers). On the other hand, ASEMA Zoomlion performed less remarkably with only a 0.5% increase in its performance rating by citizens. By these scores, citizens of both districts still perceive the entity’s work as being only above average. Zoomlion’s best and least scores shown in the affordability and quality performance criteria respectively. Calls were made by citizens for Zoomlion to improve its service delivery by providing logistical support for its field staff to constantly undertake the conduct of public places, streets and drains cleaning in the CBDs. UCSOND: The Zoomlion Company was assessed in December by UCSOND through Focus Group Discussion with community members from NEMA and JMA. The community scored the Xzoom lion Company 69.16% and 71% for both NEMA and JMA respectively as regards their satisfaction levels with sanitation and hygiene service delivery by the company in 2019. The Average Percentage Score of the two companies is 70.08%. The company achieved 12.08% increase comparing 2019 figures to 2018. In the 2019 implementation period, the company increased the number of communal skip containers from 11 in NEMA ...05-11-2020: "Only 1 CSO was able to undertake this survey due to restrictions of movement and availablity of staff. Also services satisfaction was measured with the private sector and was found out that satisfaction levels was higher in Wa than in Nandom. However, on the average we had 30.50%."The WASH CSOs are all together intervening in 8 districts. For baseline, the knowledge of the Planning Officer and Environmental Officer were assessed through administering of structured sanitation questionnaire on the National Sanitation policy. This was a kind of survey conducted with these actors on content of the sanitation policy including the actions, roles and responsibities of actors, status of implementation and private sector involvement in sanitation delivery. It was found that the these staff are aware of the existence of the policy document but they were unble to demonstrate clarity on the policy meaning they have limited knowledge on the policy document . CSOs will organise meetings to dialogue with MMDAs on the pillars in the National Environmental policy. This will promote understanding on MMDAs specific roles and responsibilities including mobilizing finance and human resources for improved sanitation 25-05-2018: Jomoro District- 2 Nzema East District - 2 Awutu Senya District - 3 Awutu Senya East Municipal - 3 Nandom District- 2 Wa Municipal - 2 East Gonja District - 3 West Gonja District - 3 During the year under review, two capacity workshops were organized by each CSO for district and sub district actors i.e EHSU, Planning, Budget, Health on sanitation policies/strategies and their roles and responsiblities. In November last year,a performance review discussion was conducted with the planning officers and Enviromental Health Officers(the main lead implementators for WASH at the MMDAs level) to ascertain thier level of knowledge. They all indicated the existence of the policy document and budget allocated for sanitation at their respective MMDAs. To be able to effectively engage with District Officials, capacity building to increase their knowledge was organized for all sanitation stakeholders at the District level. Continues engagement with them and discussions during platform meetings bore to bare thier increased knowledge. Two key implementing staff (DCD as chair of the DICCS platform and the ENviromental health OFficer as the lead line agency for sanitation) were assessed on thier capacity and the various score cards were recorded for each District based on their knowledgeFor the year 2018, more dialogues will be organized with the district actors (MMDA staff) on the National Enviromental Policy . This will promote understanding of MMDAs specific roles and responsibilities including mobilizing finance and human resources for improved sanitation. In November, a self assessment tool, for all the 20 staff will be conducted to demonstrate their increased knowledge in the DESSAP and sanitation planning26-04-2019: " i. For IF, they engaged and built the capacity of 2 key officials(M/DEHO and 2M/DPOs). For ASDA and ASEMA they both scored 2 as both scored above 70% for their capacity scores. Ii. For INTAGRAD, three staff of the Assembly (DPO, DEHO and the Coordinating Director) were targeted and questionarie administered. They all performed well on thier responsiblities and roles. However on the knoweldge of the S&H, the DPO and Coordinating Director were fairly aware of the current policies. The EHO was tasked to ensure regular updates is given to these persons. For Nandom 3 staff demonstrated increase in KNowledge whilst in Wa Municapl Assembly 2 staff demonstrated an increase in knowledge. iii. USCOND was able to undertake trainings for the EHOs, Planning officers in the first half of the year on policies and thier roles and responsiblities. the Coordinating Directors were included and enlightened on the Public Health Act 2015, Act 851 to enforce sanitation and hygiene rules. The MEHOs were also targeted as they were both new to the Municipalities. All three staff targeted in Jomoro Municipal and Nzema East Municipal demonstrated incrased knowledge in the review as they sccored above 70% iv. New Energy focused on building the capacities of the DCDs, DPOs, DEHOS and the team leads for the DWST(technical engineers) on the sanitation policies and these people have been assessed. These four persons all demonstrated incrased knowledge on S&H policies, roles and responsibliites"In the 8 MMDAs, at least 2 staff will be targeted to continously increase their knowledge on Sanitation and Hygiene. Key knowledge documents such as current trends in sanitation and private sector engagement will be discussed with MMDA staff28-04-2020: "Over the reporting period, key MMDA staff were targeted to benefit from knowledge improvement on key sanitation and hygiene trends to improve service delivery. Key target MMDA staff included the Municipal/District Chief Executive, District Coordinating Directors, Environmental health Officer, Planning or FInance Officer and in some cases the Gender Desk Officers. This indicator was measured through a questionaire were the ultimate capacity score shold be above 70%. the score were based on: i. Knowledge of Policies ii. KNowledge of Responsiblities iii. Knowledge of thie roles In terms of knowledge/capacity scores for both sets of targeted ASEMA & ASDA officials, IF maintained its 2018 score of two (2), implying that two (2) out of the four (4) key officials (two (2) Municipal/District Environmental Health Officers (M/DEHOs) & two (2) Municipal/District Planning Officers (M/DPOs), assessed in both assemblies, scored above the capacity score of 70%. In December 2019 (specifically on 10-12-2019 & 11-12-2019), IF carried out the assessments of the four (4) key officials (2 M/DEHOs & 2 M/DPOs) in both assemblies to track changes in respect of knowledge levels on existing S&H policies as well as policy’s prescribed roles & responsibilities for various actors. In doing so, it made use of the knowledge assessment tools developed for the measurement of Outcome F in interviews with the targeted Assembly officials. In the case of ASDA, the substantive DPO could not be interviewed, given that he had travelled outside the country on a study leave four (4) months prior. His assistant was interviewed instead. On the matter of the resultant scores, the assessments brought to light that the ASEMA MPO scored 67.1% whereas the ASDA Assistant DPO attained a score of 62.9%. Both scores however were lower than the threshold of 70% which signify favorable capacity score in terms of knowledge of S&H policy, albeit they were improvements on 2018’s scores of 62.9% (ASDA) ...05-11-2020: "IF - 7 At the MDA level, 7 staff scored above 70% which indicates an increase in knowledge. These included the Environmental Health Officers of both ASDA and ASEMA, the planning officers and the Gender desk officer. At ASDA, the DCE participated in the scoring and scored above the 70%. INTAGRAD = 6 THree key staff were each scored to ascertain an increase in Knowledge in both the Nandom and Wa municipal. The environmental Health Officers, the planning officers and the District Coordinating Director in Nandom and the Gender desk officer in Wa all passed the 70% mark and thus indicated an increase in knowledge level. New Energy = 6 In the East and West Gonja, both the Environmental Health Officers, Gender desk officers and planning officers were targeted. the NBSSI municipal director for East Gonja was also targeted due to his active invovlement in the private sector engagement. All scored 70% except the gender desk officer in one of the MDAs. New Energy will continue to re-engage these actors to ensure increased knowledge. UCSOND - 6 Three key staff were each scored to ascertain an increase in Knowledge in both the Nzema East and Jomoro municipal.

In December 2019, when IF contacted the ASDA Zoomlion manager to carry out the end-of-year follow-ups, he communicated that he had been transferred with immediate effect to another district. Similarly, his counterpart in ASEMA could not be reached to participate in the knowledge assessments. Hence, the assessments of both district-level Zoomlion managers could not be undertaken as part of scheduled end of year M & E/follow-up activities. Prior, IF’s attempts to have them participate in the V4CP district-level refreshers on the ESP in March 2019 (so as to build basis for knowledge gains on the policy) did not materialize. UCSOND strengthened the capacities of waste management officers in Nzema East and Jomoro Municipalities on sanitation and hygiene policies, roles and responsibilities. In December, 2019, UCSOND through interviews assessed the knowledge and capacity of 3 Zoom lion officers in relation to their understanding or knowledge and capacity in sanitation and hygiene services. In view of this, the zoomlion company exhibited an understanding of the sanitation and hygiene policies and other documentation and provisions by the two municipalities governing their operations. NEW ENERGY:Assessement of three private sector enterprises to determine the level of increase in their knowledge and capacity on sanitation & hygiene policies, roles and responsibilities in the West and East Gonja Districts in November 2019, indicated that Zoomlion a private sector actor that has worked with NewEnergy from the inception of the programme had a score of 74.28%. While two other actors who joined the programme in July 2019 had scores of 44% and 46%. INTAGRAD: Key focus were on the latrine artisans especially in the Nandom District.

Building agents will be engaged with to increase their sales outlets for sanitation facilities whilst S&H social enterprise such as Pronet (especially in the upper West and Central Region) will be engaged to increase sanitation service delivery.28-04-2020: "Zoomlion’s unwillingness to avail itself for V4CP activities once again posed a barrier to IF’s quest to conduct its end of year assessments. In December 2019, when IF contacted the ASDA Zoomlion manager to carry out the end-of-year follow-ups, he communicated that he had been transferred with immediate effect to another district. Similarly, his counterpart in ASEMA could not be reached to participate in the knowledge assessments. Hence, the assessments of both district-level Zoomlion managers could not be undertaken as part of scheduled end of year M & E/follow-up activities. Prior, IF’s attempts to have them participate in the V4CP district-level refreshers on the ESP in March 2019 (so as to build basis for knowledge gains on the policy) did not materialize. UCSOND strengthened the capacities of waste management officers in Nzema East and Jomoro Municipalities on sanitation and hygiene policies, roles and responsibilities. In December, 2019, UCSOND through interviews assessed the knowledge and capacity of 3 Zoom lion officers in relation to their understanding or knowledge and capacity in sanitation and hygiene services. In view of this, the zoomlion company exhibited an understanding of the sanitation and hygiene policies and other documentation and provisions by the two municipalities governing their operations. NEW ENERGY:Assessement of three private sector enterprises to determine the level of increase in their knowledge and capacity on sanitation & hygiene policies, roles and responsibilities in the West and East Gonja Districts in November 2019, indicated that Zoomlion a private sector actor that has worked with NewEnergy from the inception of the programme had a score of 74.28%. While two other actors who joined the programme in July 2019 had scores of 44% and 46%. INTAGRAD: Key focus were on the latrine artisans especially in the Nandom District. Based on interviews conducted, 3 out of the 5 selected scored over the 70% required mark. "05-11-2020: "NEW ENERGY - 2 Three private sector persons including the leader of the private sector platforms was engaged to know thier level of knowledge on S&H service delivery. 2 of the private sector actors passed with the survey emphasizing on their roles and responsiblities INTAGRAD-2 The private sectors from Nandom demonstrated knowledge and capacity on policies and their roles and responsiblities but those interviewed in Wa could not exhibit adequate knowledge on the existing policies. However they did well on their roles and responsibilities with the actors in Wa leading in house-to-house advocacy for the construction of household sanitation and hygiene facilities USCOND - 3 During this period, UCSOND was able to link with a local bank and two sales vendors to provide sanitaiton and hgyiene facilities on credit basis. UCSOND also built the capacity of these select actors on key S&H interventions and their roles in increasing access to sanitation and hygiene"Basic Sanitation Information System (BaSIS), the National S&H M&E is non-functional in target MMDAs. BaSIS collects data/evidence on basic sanitation improvement in communities and also serves a planning tool for MMDAs. There is also the need for MMDAs to have operational tracking tools to (currently non-existent) for effective monitoring of revenue collectors work. Currently, MMDAs only rely ticketing system which is not effective Level of functionality of the S&H M&E expected to improve in targeted districts by one step. One focus area for CSOs is to design simple user-friendly (spreadsheet) data collection tool /checklist to provide information on S&H 25-05-2018: Currently there is no structured use of sanitation and hygiene M& E processes in the District. There is the existance of a monitoring tool and system (BASIS) that some districts are implementing. However there is no M& E plan and no dedicated and qualified M&E staff. Enviromental Health Officials are normally the ones to provide information for the update in the BASIS system. There is no data auditing currently being done. Moving forward, we will engage the CLTS coordinator (lead data handler of the BASIS system) on how this structure will be improved at the district level for them to improve the systemWe will review the relevance of this indicator in the context of the structure of the assembly.26-04-2019: "i. New Energy scored 2 for both East Gonja and West Gonja District Assemblies New Energy supported in the capacity buidling workshop for 30 staff from both districts in BASICs- which is the tool designed to capture sanitation data in some districts. The score is 2 because the districts have an M&E plan in place now and the software makes allocation for learning and reporting. the results generated online is shared with staff and discussed ii. UCSOND scored a 1 in the Nzema East and Jomoro Municipal Assemblies as the tool is still unstructured For UCSOND, there is still no structred plan for M&E implementation. The tools are improvised and done as and when data is needed from the Municipal. Currently there is reliance on data from the Ghana Health service in relation to diseases from sanitation. iii. For six MMDAs (Nzema East and Jomoro Munipalities, Wa Municipal,Nandom District, Awutu Senya District and Awutu Senya East Municipal Assemblies, there have been committments from the MMDAs for the preparation of sanitation M& E Plans for 2019. Currently, there is a draft monitoring form but the municipaliites have no dedicated staff or budget attached to M&E. ""Engage with the Ministry and the Regional teams on the best way for M&E Key way forward will be to discuss on comprehensive M&E tool at the MMDA level and having a multi-stakeholder engagement plan for collecting of data. As part of engagement with the District (municipal) Interagency cordinating committee on sanitation (DICCS), a simplified M&E tool will be developed to track S&H interventions and identify key stakeholders (such as Ghana Health Service and Ghana Education Services) who have staff located in the various communities to support in data capturing to be used for sanitation interventions"28-04-2020: "Averagely, the CSOs scored 2 out of the ultimate score of 4. All CSOs acknowledged that there was currently a structured M&E system at the national level - the BASIS. This is however yet to be implementd in all the MMDAs especially the southern MMDAs. IF met its target of a score of two (2) in both districts, implying that a standardized M&E system was coming into shape with two (2) criteria of the standardized/structured elements under the V4CP contextualized Outcome H scoring rubric (namely routine monitoring and data capturing & dedicated and qualified M&E staff(s) operationalized. In late December 2018, at workshop held in Cape Coast, the Central REHO fulfilled his V4CP commitment by activating sector M&E focal persons in all the region's twenty-two (22) MMDAs and orienting them on their core mandate. Prior to this, IF had consistently followed up on the Central REHO on the identified M&E gaps at the district level, drew out the commitment to establish M&E focal persons at the district levels from him and continued with follow-ups until in the latter followed through on them in December 2018. The fulfilment of this commitment in late December 2018 thus meant that S&H M&E schedule officers were for the first time present in both V4CP MMDAs as well as others across the Central region of Ghana. While the above are positive, little to no progress had been made by the EHSUs in relation to the preparation of S&H M&E plans, which is one of IF’s primary Outcome H (strengthened MMDAs’ capacities in S&H M&E) regardless of the several commitments secured from both MMDAs regarding the preparation of sanitation M & E plans in 2019. IF thus plans to reinforce advocacy on the issue as part of its next slated one-on-one engagements with Assembly officials as well as link up with the Central REHO in hopes of addressing the issue. Also, IF could not carry out as effectively as it would have hoped, its scheduled periodic M&E coaching sessions for the EHSUs of ...05-11-2020: "INTAGRAD: 3 Wa municipal scored a 4 as they have a structure M&E framework (through the usage of the national approved Basis) and data collection is done on regular basis. The information is also used to suppor them in their planning. For Nandom, data is collected on quarterly basis however they are yet to be placed on the national M&E platform (Basis). they thus scored a 2 as they have an M&E plan and have staff who is dedicated to M&E and has being trained on the use of the Basis NEW ENERGY - 4 BOth the West and East Gonja are already on the Basis systems and data collection is done during routine visits by Environmental Health OFficers. The data is reported and analysed by the staff for their planning purposes UCSOND - 2 Both Nzema East and Jomoro Municipalities scored a 2. They all undertake M&E interventions with Jomoro having a dedicated staff who has being trained on the use of the Basis tool. However they are also yet to be added on the national M&E platform (BASIS) IF - 2 An improved score of three (3) could not be attained, with IF only maintaining its 2019 score of two (2) in both districts. This implied that only two (2) elements of the standardized M&E system are still in place (i.e. routine monitoring & data capturing and dedicated & qualified M&E staff(s). With the activation of sector M&E focal persons in both districts (by the Central REHO in Dec. 2018) and the continued conduct of routine monitoring activities by the EHSUs of both Assemblies, IF had hoped that the latter would have worked to prepare their 2020 M&E plans (along with detailed budgeted workplans) at the start of the year, as per earlier commitments in 2019. Nonetheless, from its follow-ups, it was realized that the units had yet to take the requisite action to initiate the process. The reason cited for the inactivity regarding the M&E plans was the tight schedules of the M/DEHOs as a result of their amplified responsibilities in the management of the COVID-19 p ...Sanitation and hygiene interventions are initiated by MMDAs not based on demands from area/zonal councils and Communities. This approach is limited as it may not address the specific needs of communities in the area councils.There are existing Water & Sanitation Management Team (WSMT)- Small Towns,in communities which can be mobilised for advocacy purposes. Currently, there is no engagement between CSOs and WSMT-Small Town or capacity development plans to build capacities of these groups demand improved, equitable and sustainable S&H servicesfrom duty bearers The four CSOs are expected to strengthen capacities of at least two WSMT-Small Towns in each of the 8 districts they work in. WSMT-Small Towns will in turn have capacities to make effective demands from duty bearers and even make follow-ups. It is expected that each WSMT-Small Town will make at least 3 strategic demands from duty bearers. 25-05-2018: This was done in East Gonja, West Gonja and Wa & Nandom districts. This was done as inputs into the development of the medium term plans of each district. In East and West Gonja, the CSOs both demanded an increase in the monitoring and supervison of WSMT in small towns. Both DIstrict agreed to this preposiiton and included the unit committee and two reps from the communities in the DICCS platforms to improve social accountabilty. This also created a platform for them to engage with district S& H actors. In the Wa Municpal and Nandom districts, an assement carried out indicated there was low revenue mobilization as residents were unwilling to pay for tarrifs. It was recommended the capacities of WSMTs be built to ensure effective revenue mobilization. The Nandom DICCs have also agreed to include at least 1 person from the small town WSMT to ensure accountabilityThe CSOs will continue to engage the MMDAs through these platforms in 2018. However no change is expected until 2019 where the medium term plans will be reviewed.26-04-2019: "i. Amongst the interventions made by the District Sanitation and Hygiene Advocacy Teams (DSHATs) in Awutu Senya District Assembly and Awutu Senya East Municapal Assembly was for the relocation of unused skip container from Senya to another community with pressing solid waste management needs during participatory monitoring exercise on 06-11-2018. Again on 08-11-2018 there was a Verbal petition by ASEMA Municipal Sanitation and Hygiene Advocay Teams (MSHATs) for the installation of disability ramps at 10-seater Biofil toilet facility at Kasoa New Market during participatory monitoring exercise and calls by ASEMA MSHAT for more field presence and proactiveness by zonal Environmental Health Assistants municipal-wide (during V4CP accountability forum on 22-11-2018). ii. The DSHATS and Water and Sanitaiton Management Teams (WSMTs) in West Gonja and East Gonja demanded the development and gazetting of thier respective S&H bye-laws to improve CLTS implementation in their districts. West Gonja successfully passed thiers in September 2018 and East Gonja is in the final stages. THe DSHATS in East GOnja actively participated in the review of their District Environemental Sanition Strategy Action Plans (DESSAPs) and called for increased budget allocation to enable the DEHU undertake mass sensitization on attitudinal change iii.

In East Gonja, interventions will be focused on governance as the district has recieved extra finacing from UNICEF to support CLTS implementation will . "28-04-2020: " Over the reporting period, a total of 29 demands were made by the WSMTs/DSHATs which was higher than the targeted number of 4. In 2019, the DSHATs were strenghened in the INTAGRAD and New Energy implementing MMDAs. Whilst IF gave great support to the DSHAT, USCOND's formation of a youth parliament to increase youth interest in sanitation and hygiene is highly recommendable and in 2020 we will continue to strenghten this group. IF coordinated the ASDA & ASEMA M/DSHATs to undertake one-on-one engagements with key Assembly officials (such as the Coordinating Directors, Environmental Health Officers, Client Service Units and Revenue Unit heads of both Assemblies) in August, September and December 2019. The engagements were to bring to their attention pressing S&H issues requiring intervention at the community levels. Per IF’s end-of-year assessments, the ASEMA MSHAT made eleven (11) S&H requests to MMDA officials whereas the ASDA DSHAT made eight (8) requests in all. Both ASDA and ASEMA D/MSHATs petitioned the respective MMDAs through verbal requests (and in some cases in print) on several S & H issues requiring intervention. Examples of such key requests/propositions made include: 1. Calls for the clearing of mounting dumpsites and overflowing waste containers in Bontrase, Aberful, Otopiase, Bawjiase and Obrachire. (Call made during the joint IF/DSHAT one-on-one engagements with the ASDA officials on 27.08.19). 2. Calls for MMDA to step up efforts to counteract OD in Adam-Nana, Kasoa Newtown and Kasoa Opeikuma and Kpormetey. (Call made during the joint IF/MSHAT one-on-one engagements with the ASEMA officials on 21.08.19). 3. Calls for the provision of institutional toilets and support towards household toilet facility construction, stricter enforcement of sanitation laws and extensive education on proper S&H practices to combat OD in Obrachire and 17 other communities, Bawjiase, Aberful, Onyame, Bontrase. (Call made during the joint IF/DSHAT one- ...05-11-2020: "NEW ENERGY - 2: Three WSMTs requested for capacity building services from the MMDAs on how to construct latrines. They also demanded regular monitoring services in their communities to help improve sanitation . In addition, WMSTS also demand that The MMDAs embark massive sensitisation and education cmapign on the Covid 19 pandemic in their communities which the MMDAs have since caried out. INTAGRAD - 2 Training of DSHATs and WSMTs on advocacy and duty bearer engagement greatly improved their skills and this enable them make demands during the period. The Nandom Water and sanitation management (WSMS) wrote a proposal to the upper west Regional director of Community water and sanitation agency (CWSA) for a limited expansion of Nandom water system. This was after INTAGRAD offered capacity training to the team on advocacy and duty-bearer engagements. The team also developed a sanitation action plan in line with the CWSA action to help improve sanitation and water hygiene IF - 2 In June 2020, the ASEMA MEHO disclosed that the Assembly had deployed its municipal engineers to assess the Kasoa abattoir in view of refurbishing the facility and had also increased its targeted additional sanitary workers from one (1) to two (2). Before this, the IF team together with the ASEMA Municipal Sanitation & Hygiene Advocacy Team (MSHAT) (formed under the V4CP) and Municipal Planning Officer of the Assembly embarked upon a participatory monitoring activity in August 2019 in which the abattoir was visited among other selected projects. The MSHAT raised major concerns regarding the insanitary state of the premises and its potential to set off food hygiene-related diseases if unmitigated and called for speedy measures by the Assembly to redress the issue. In April 2020, ASDA funded the dislodging of the septic tank of a 32-seater toilet facility at Beraku, in line with earlier DSHAT calls for the redress of the situation.

SACDEP has developed a Post Harvest Guide in conjuction with Nakuru, Nayndarua County detailing how to address Post Harvest LossWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorScore based on recognition of individual expertise and engagements in food safety and food loss reduction initiatives By sharing evidence material, SOCAA intends to play an active and visible role in the process of testing and implementing the national traceability system for horticultural produce destined for the local market 26-11-2018: SOCAA (Society of Crop Agribusiness Advisors) was invited by the National Food Safety Committee to support action in realising adoption of the National Food Safety Policy. Meetings with government on the national food safety policy have however been few due to separate sector priorities that leave little time for the multisector meetings. KEPSA (Kenya Private Sector Alliance), a respected private sector umbrella body in Kenya has tasked SOCAA to attend technical committee meetings as its Agriculture sector board representative. The CSO has brokered partnership between development partners and industry players (Fresh Produce Exporters Association of Kenya) to host a national conference for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables. The CSO will increase its profile by engaging experts from its membership to moderate various thematic meetings at the conference.SOCAA (Society of Crop Agribusiness Advisors) plans to take a leading role in unlocking the stalled food safety policy agenda by facilitating multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral engagement through national thematic round tables convened with relevant experts and actors. 25-11-2018: Score is provided as indicative estimate of the following: private sector (KEPSA) - 1, National Government: Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD) -2, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate (KEPHIS) -1 County indicative estimate - 1 Due to delayed evidence delivery SOCAA was not able to engage effectively . The national reference group that would mirror the national food safety coordinating committee was not formalised in the year due to delayed evidence that would inform discussion. The reference group was meant to address evidence products wholistically to enable strong, targetted CSO advocacy. SOCAA however did establish regular interactions with Govt (Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Health) on the food safety agenda and was able to share its agenda at the at the fruits and vegetables conference, Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD) on the horticulture domestic standard KS 1758; Private sector – KNTWG and Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) where SOCAA is now formally present within the Agriculture Sector board. These engagements remain to be strengthened. Counties: Focus on the 4 counties (Murang'a, Laikipia, Nyandarua and Nakuru). County government officials have generally been receptive but for various reasons, counties rate differently for level of CSO influence. Murang'a - 2; Laikipia - 1; Nyandarua- 0; Nakuru - 0. Murang'a: Although the horticulture sector contributes significantly to the county's economy, its profile on the county agenda remains low. SOCAA together with other CSOs worked to establish a technical committee on food safety and loss but a lot remains to be done to raise the profile of the hortculture sector especially for the domestic market. SOCAA was however invited to provide inputs to the county integrated development plan (CIDP) which provides promise for the sector if inputs are adopted . Laikipia:several meetings with county government including Directo ...CSOs shall organise stakeholders advocacy events in collaboration with local and national government around relevant international days to share information on food safety and loss reduction. The national reference group will be re-engaged with initial evidence products expected at the start of 2018 and county technical working groups will be engaged along with the respective chapters of KNCCI following development of closer linkages with these institutions.08-10-2018: >Score is provided as indicative estimate of private sector, National and County government: private sector (KEPSA) - 2, National Government: Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD) -2, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate (KEPHIS) -1 County indicative estimate - 2 Working through Kenya Private Sector Alliance( KEPSA),agriculture sector committee, SOCAA has raised food safety as a priority issue to be addressed and this was presented at Ministerial and Presidential round tables that followed. At the ministerial roundtable the issue of the stalled National Food Safety Policy was specifically raised with the then Minister for Agriculture promising to look into the matter within 3 months. County Governments have been receptive but level of influence varies: Murang'a - 2; Laikipia - 3; Nyandarua- 2; Nakuru - 2. SACDEP Kenya and SOCAA had close interaction with the county governments (Laikipia, Nyandarua, Murang'a and Nakuru), Departments for Agriculture on food safety and loss counties. CSOs submitted joint memoranda to Nakuru and Laikipia counties on county integrated development plans (CIDP) in support of FSFLR measures. Issues raised in the memorandum to Laikipia County were incorporated in 2018/22 CIDP. SACDEP-Kenya has also since been incorporated in the technical working group on Food Security and Safety in Nakuru County In Murang'a county, CSOs organized a launch event where county government, research institutions and private sector and the public (farmers) converged to discuss food safety and loss in the county. SACDEP Kenya has continuously engaged the already trained 102 community champions on horticulture loss reduction especially in cabbages and Irish potatoes. In Nyandarua county the community champions came up with dark stores, for storage of potatoes.CSOs shall organise stakeholders advocacy events in collaboration with local and national government around relevant international days to share information on food safety and loss reduction. SOCAA and SACDEP shall use The national reference group, county technical working and stakeholder value chain forums to share evidence and advance food safety and loss reduction discussion01-05-2019: CSOs level influence has improved across all levels. Perhaps aided by hightened concerns on food safety in 2018 as reported in the local media: National Government: Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD) -3, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate (KEPHIS) -1 , Department of Public Health - 3 SOCAA was tasked by to drive consultations between horticulture stakeholders on the implementation guidelines for KS1758:2 in horticulture sub-sector meeting convened by Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD).

Development of consumer platforms has taken long as SOCAA being fairly new to the counties has spent most of its time establishing local contacts and understanding the local cultural landscape in order to identify appropriate avenues to engage consumers.CSO plans to step up engagement through online interaction with consumers and organizing forums for consumer organisations at national and county levelConsumer organisations will be mobilised directly as key stakeholders in all forums that SOCAA and SACDEP are present and building on platforms for consumer engagement that SOCAA has established. Food safety/loss champions raised by SACDEP could provide an avenue to reach consumer groups at community level08-10-2018: SOCAA formed a secretariat for community of practice in Laikipia and Murang'a counties. The committee will oversee and engage relevant players (institutions- schools, hospitals, hospitality institutions/ companies) in the food safety platform. The COP will be an event to discuss and showcase what players are doing to ensure the consumer is protected as far as food safety is concerned and discuss how the situation can be improved working with GovernmentCommunity of practice events will be organised per county where relevant information on food safety will be shared and actors engaged to suggest solutions. Consumer organisations will be mobilised directly as key stakeholders in all forums. Food safety/loss champions supported by SACDEP will provide an avenue to reach consumer groups at community level01-05-2019: Collaboration with consumer organisations has improved due to the community of practice (CoP) forums on food safety that have been established at sub- county level. Community of practice events were organised in Murang'a, Nyandarua and Nakuru Counties with inclusion of value chain actors and consumers through joint mobilisation with county government and/or Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) County Chapters. Relevant information on food safety was shared and actors jointly developed a set of recommendations of solutions and set up committees following each COP event. For effective coverage the COPs were organised at zonal/sub-county level. Of note the institutional consumer groups were represented through KNCCI County Chapter members present in all counties; Schools in Murang'a; and grassroots community groups representing consumers - Maendeleo ya Wanawake; SACDEP and GROOTS champions among others in all counties except Laikipia where key stakeholders are still being mappedSOCAA will engage key consumer protection networks in consumer awareness and empowerment to deepen involvement of consumer champions in awareness creation, private sector engagement (feedback mechanisms) and holding county government accountable for interventions on enforcement and investment in food safety; holding private sector accountable on value chain actor self regulation.

Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsInvitation to an introduction forum on National Horticulture Traceability System launch, hosted by KEPHIS With the National Food Safety Coordinating committee opening up space for CSO participation in policy formulation process, CSO intends to use the window to share pertinent information to strenghthen the policy and will seek to bring onboard other CSOs and hold government to account. CSO hopes to graduate interaction with government and private sector to a level of increased openness where information / data on FS &FLR will be sought, shared, discussed and acted upon 20-06-2018: SOCAA was included in the formation of the Kenya National Technical Working Group (KNTWG) to pride a forum for engagement between private sector and government bodies on matters affecting horticulture. The KNTWG includes both government, researchers and industry (private sector) deliberating and engaging on emerging issues and interventions thus providing a forum that promotes accountability between institutions.Robust engagement is expected between KNTWG and the National Food Safety Coordinating Committee after release of the anticipated Food and Drug Bill. Specific issues anticipated for discussion include creation of a formal mechanism for inclusion of farmers in the traceability and standards mechanisms (HTS and KS1758) at county level; support from county government for certification against these standards and harmonisation of their regulations to facilitate safe food production and loss reduction.01-05-2019: Accountability did not increase but as CSOs continue to sharpen their engagement and work through coalitions, forums for consultation with Government and private sector will be established. SOCAA participated in pre-budget hearings held by IEA in 2018 and will continue to do so to lobby increased budget allocation to food safety. National government remains forthcoming with information on decisions or eminent changes in the sector. CSOs are able to get information on request but this is largely informal. SOCAA engaged and received feedback from HCD on the development of the quick guide for KS1758 with significant input provided by KNTWG on the development of the Quality Management System and Training Guidelines needed to support the roll out of KS 1758; SOCAA engaged Ministry of Health and received vital information on the roll out of the proposed Kenya Food And Drugs Authority; SOCAA engaged and received information from MOALF Head of Horticulture on draft Government Extension Strategy. All government institutions engaged were responsive to SOCAA's interventions. SACDEP Kenya has also consulted the National Potato Council of Kenya particularly on the potato industry regulations and received status updates. Accountability is hindered due to the defragmented nature of ownership by the various government bodiesSOCAA and SACDEP will continue to participate in pre-budget hearings organised by Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) to lobby increased budget allocation to food safety. SOCAA and SACDEP will also work towards organizing or participating in organized CSO fora where sector issues are presented .The Agriculture council of Kenya (AgCK) is being a convener and consultations facilitator for non-state actors in Kenya’s agriculture sector, SACDEP and SOCAA will seek to particpate in fora they organize. In these fora SOCAA will advance adoption of specific recommendations of the National Food Safety Policy within workings of NFSCC and/or draft KFDA and inclusion of recommended interventions (budgetary and enforcement) within the sphere of a vibrant food safety control system and in particular as regards enforcement of food safety laws and traceability requirements among others in regulations of specific govt bodies; Adoption and or strengthening of good practice (quality standards) by horticulture private sector value chain actor associations, retailer associations and specific value chain actors. SOCAA working closely with MOH and MOALF would be seeking to push for roll out of KFDA which would clearly designate accountability systems within the government bodies.26-04-2020: Accountability at national level has improved with scores as follows: NHTTWG (MOALF) - 6; NFSCC - 0; AFA -3 : >The establishment of the National Horticulture Technical Working Group (NHTTWG) by the Ministry of Agriculture has provided a platform where issues of accountability between actors can be addressed. SOCAA as a member of the NHTTWG subcommittee of Policy plays a key role in providing a civic voice on issues of food safety and how policies are implemented to ensure inclusion. The integration of Food Safety indicators in the CAADP reporting provides opportunity to lobby for more transparency in allocation of funding to food safety. The National Food Safety Coordinating Committee (NFSCC) has not been responsive despite CSO attempts to be enjoined to the same. >For accountability on the potato regulations, SACDEP Kenya in partnership with AgCK and NPCK has engaged the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) on simplified Irish potato regulation booklets as well as Irish potato training manual for use by Agriculture Officers, Legal officers, farmers, coooperatives and farmers etc which they are now jointly developing . The booklets and training manuals are a critical step for awareness raising towards enforcement and ensuring that stakeholders are aware of what needs to be implemented as per the regulations25-10-2020: SOCAA - 4 1. SOCAA participated in IEA pre-budget forum and contributed to submission of pre-budget memorandum covering county investments in agriculture. The pre-budget forums form a mechanism through which CSOs can share their 2. SOCAA was included in the ASNET(Agriculture Industry Network ) body as part of the technical committee representing the Agriculture sector. SOCAA through ASNET has developed and shared a brief on draft Food Security Bill, lobbying for coordination of food safety issues from the office of the president. 3. In association with AgriProFocus , SOCAA was included in the Horticulture Learning Loop which is a forum of likeminded partners in Food Safety space. The Forum provided opportunity for interrogation of efforts to ensure continued food safety in light of the challenges to food systems posed by COVID19. 4.

The technical working groups are convened by the county government and CSOs are able to use the forums for follow-up on specific agenda both on the regulations and implementation as well as better enhance collaboration with other stakeholders eg NGOs that are working in the counties"SOCAA and SACDEP will extend engagement with Technical Working Groups on specific accountability actions as per CIDP reviews and in line with National Food Safety Policy recommendations. Indicator is an avegrage on aggregate from counties as follows: Murang'a - 4, Laikipia - 3, Nakuru - 3 and Nyandarua - 2 CSOs shall also facilitate regular community of practice events to articulate issues related to food loss and reduction and provide opportunity for government to explain their plans and ongoing processes ."01-05-2019: Murang'a - 4, Laikipia - 3, Nakuru - 3 and Nyandarua - 2. Through community of practice events and technical working group forums, SOCAA was able to engage and receive input from county government officials, regulators and private sector (KNCCI County Chapters) on Food Safety initiative in Nakuru, Murang'a, Nyandarua and Laikipia Counties. In addition forums were provided for SOCAA and other CSOs to present and explain proposals for the County Integrated Development Plans in Nakuru, Murang'a and Laikipia Counties. SACDEP Kenya community champions attended a public baraza in Nakuru and Nyandarua counties. The baraza acted as a platform of sharing with public the food loss related issues and also a forum where communities were able to voice their concerns to the local administration and government to address issues on potato loss.On 5th December, 2018 the Minister of Agriculture while addressing milk farmers at the Brookside Raw Milk Supply Award noted the need for farmers to embrace safety in food as a priority, which in turn would lead to reduced food loss. In Laikipia County a partners day was held in December 2018 that allowed CSOs and NGOs to share updates of their programmes/ initiatives in the county to the Governor. SACDEP shared food loss agenda champions at this forum.>SOCAA working with County Government, Private Sector (KNCCI) and grassroots consumer groups and champions will collaborate towards vibrant food safety networks that support i) enforcement of applicable food safety legislation ii) development of sound food safety/horticulture strategies iii) appropriate investments in the food supply chain by both public and private sector iii) promoting and holding to account value chain actors in provision of safe food iv) awareness and formal involvement of consumers at grassroots in CIDP implementation processes - reviewing annual development plans and budgets >SACDEP will particpate in community barazas and attend partners forums orgnanized by the county that will serve to strengthen the voice of communities to hold County officials accountable on agreed on Action on CIDPs and Annual Development plans.26-04-2020: Accountability at county level has improved with scores as follows: County food safety committee (FSCs) - 4; county potato coordinating units (Nyandarua and Nakuru) -3 >SOCAA engaged at the county level through the county food safety commitees. These committees have taken on a a MSP approach with representation from private sector and consumer groups at the county level therefore the mechanisms for accountability are improving. >In Nyandarua, a coordinating unit for potato chaired by County Agriculture Chief Officer exists. Through this coordinating unit SACDEP Kenya in partnership with AgCK and NPCK have been able to advocate revision of strategic plan to include specific PHL interventions. In Nakuru a coordinating office for potato value chain exits. Through this office the draft strategic plan for potato value chain has been finalised and developed awareness material for the potato regulations >SACDEP community champions participated in discussions on the Nyandarua Potato strategy reviews and provided their insights on Post Harvest loss management25-10-2020: SOCAA - 4.5 1.SOCAA facilitation of Food Safety committees in Nakuru and Nyandarua in collaboration with other stakeholders have progressed with initial development of framework for county food safety policies. 2. In Murang'a County through the Food Safety Committee, SOCAA assisted in the review of the Avocado bill by incorporating food safety aspects and will shape the development of other value chain policies in the county. 3. In Laikipia county, SOCAA has collaboratively worked with KNCCI at County level through Food Safety Committees to advocate for private sector changes through their representation in FSC committee. 4. In Nyandarua, SOCAA has worked with the county through the established Food Safety committees to develop the draft Food Safety Policies 1. SACDEP is part of the Nakuru and Nyandarua Implementing Unit for the Potato Strategies to ensure the implementation of key action points in the Potato strategyconfidentialconfidential20-06-2018: CS Agriculture made supportive remarks on the food safety agenda and indicated commitment to implementing specific support requested by industry (private sector); HCD Management has hosted and supported efforts on addressing food safety through the committees on KS1758 Quality Management System (QMS) set-up. SOCAA inputs have been on the need for QMS to cover the needs and realities of small-holder farmers supplying domestic markets.CS Agriculture, CS Health, CS Trade and Heads of Regulatory bodies (HCD, KEPHIS and PCPB) supporting the agenda and influencing actions around food safety. CSOs shall facilitate regular community of practice events to articulate issues related to food loss and reduction and extend invitation to the key decision makers to allow them to appreciate the issues firsthand from stakeholders.01-05-2019: The policy maker rating will be done early 2019. It was not possible to assess support in the early phase of 2018 as coming from the elections there were new office bearers, only getting started and with little known about them. Their interest in FSFLR could only be confidently assessed after a period of engagement in the sector and this will be done in 2019. However, indications so far show a number of key stakeholders having interest in FSFLR: Minister - On 5th December, 2018 the Minister of Agriculture while addressing milk farmers at the Brookside Raw Milk Supply Award noted the need for farmers to embrace safety in food as a priority (http://www.industrialization.go.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=385&Itemid=211) ; Minister Health - Involved in the development of the KFDA; Minister Trade - applauding role of standards in driving competitiveness of the food industry The pronouncements by the Ministers were as an indirect result of V4CP as the food safety agenda has gained traction as food safety becomes a National concern.Increased support for food safety is expected as concrete actions and plans are made by senior decision makers, cabinet secretaties and their permanent secretaries form the (ministries of Agriculture, Health and Trade) work towards establishment of a food safety authority. CSOs will host ministerial round table and with evidence from the Vietnam case study provide recommendations for food safety authority26-04-2020: CS Health gave support for food safety strategies categorising food handlers according to risk. However no clear action plan was issued thereafter. CS Agriculture constituted a multi-agency taskforce to review horticulture food safety concerns. A conclusive legislative process towards a Food Safety Authority has however lagged behind despite these initiatives. Senior political leadership continues to stress support for Food and Nutrition Security which is captured in the government Big 4 agenda. However the specifics are not clearly addressed in public statements but where instances of Food Safety concerns have risen through the media there is response to the same though not much different than those currently in public domain.25-10-2020: SOCAA - 5 Despite the restrictions due to the COVID19 Situation there has been progress on increased support for food safety. Senior Policy makers/decision makers were openly supportive and facilitated the 2nd Commemoration of the WFSD. MOH, MOALF, MOIT offices and Committees - NHTTWG, MOALF-ASNET/KEPSA Committees engaged in discussions on the development of the food safety authority and accompanying regulations.confidentialconfidential20-06-2018: CECs Agriculture in Muranga and Laikipia Counties supported engagements on Food Safety and Technical Working Groups set up in these counties. The technical working groups are set up after CECs approve their formation and act as patrons on the same as they are housed under their ministries.Increased support from CECs for Agriculture, Health and Trade at County level in Nakuru, Laikipia, Nyandarua, Muranga counties as result of their active involvement in Food safety and loss forums organised at county level .01-05-2019: The policy maker rating will be done early 2019. It was not possible to assess support in the early phase of 2018 as coming from the elections there were new office bearers, only getting started and with little known about them. Their interest in FSFLR could only be confidently assessed after a period of engagement in the sector and this will be done in 2019. However, indications so far show a number of key stakeholders having interest in FSFLR: CEC Agriculture in Murang'a - Spoke on the issue at Stakeholder forum in Murang'a; CEC Agriculture Nyandarua - ; CEC Agriculture Nakuru - Spoke on the issue in public at world food day in October and in Stakeholder forum ; CEC Agriculture Laikipia - Supported the inclusion of food safety as a stand alone project in the county CIDP 2018-2022 as a result of the direct engagement with V4CP. CEC Health & CEC Trade Not scored as not directly engaged>Support for food safety and food loss agenda is expected to increase from 3 County Executive Committee Members in the 4 counties once results of the rapid assessment on food loss at the counties is validated, evidence materials shared, food safety and loss action plan prepared and shared with the counties >based on planned action plans drawing together Agriculture , Health and Trade Departments at County support from concerned CECs is expected to increase in 2019.26-04-2020: Athough County Executives in charge of Agriculture have indicated support for Food Safety initiatives in direct engagement, some via media outlets (Nakuru) county, results from policy maker rating focusing on CECs Agriculture , Health and Trade Departments across the 4 counties shows no change in support for food safety in 2019. Governors and MCAs from the respective counties were also rated on support for food safety; increased support was observed from Nakuru MCA and from Governors in Laikipia and Nyandarua Counties. >SACDEP activities were mainly focused in Nyandarua and Nakuru county in 2019; on the potato regulations stategic plans for the value chain. Although the policy maker rating was not conducted for postharvest loss agenda, there is observed increased support form the CES in Trade and Agriculture across the 2 counties. For example in Nyandarua both the CEC Trade and Agriculture were present during launch of the potato regulations and made remarks in support. In Nakuru County both CECs are in support of PHL managemennt in the potato value chain e.g. officers from the Trade dept. have started enforcing regulation on 50kg potato bag size (leading to some arrests for those found in contravention); The CEC Agriculture in Nakuru has attended many meetings for the potato value cain during which she expressed concerns that losses from the potato value chain were afffecting county revenues and committed her department's support for the strategy and regulations to streamline activities in the value chain.25-10-2020: SOCAA - 11 CECs Agriculture - Nakuru, Nyandarua, Murang'a and Laikipia; FSC committees in Nakuru and Nyandarua, MVC Platform in Murang'a; CDAs in Nakuru, Nyandarua, Murang'a and Laikipia. Nyandarua and Nakuru county has demonstrated support to food safety through support to development of food safety policy using the FSCs and also inclusion of food safety activities on their budgets. Laikipia is also supporting activities that will increase food safety and agriculture extension awareness by collaborating in establishment of call and sms based digital platform. Murang'a County has also been incorporating food safety and traceability agenda on their crop based regulations and policy i.e. Avocado policy and regulation and this show increased support from the policy makers on food safety agenda."1. The County Government of Murang'a trains at least 10 farmer groups every month on post harvest management and crop husbandry. 2. KOPPERT has supported training for farmers in Laikipia county on GAP and IPM - Integrated pest management, hybrid seed for horticulture and production using greenhouse " Working with county governments and private sector, CSO plans to facilitate atleast one training session to smallholder horticulture farmer groups in each of the 3 counties with emphasis on requirements and opportunities in standards compliance and traceability 20-06-2018: SOCAA was not able to facilitate training sessions to smallholder horticulture farmer groups as planned. Engagements at the counties through the technical working groups did not progress to agreement on modalities for awareness raising to smallholder farmers. This was occasioned by interuptions to planned engagements due to the political climate during the yearSOCAA plans to facilitate atleast one training session to smallholder horticulture farmer groups in each of the 4 counties through county agriculture department, Extension wing and working with community/farmer groups supported by SACDEP. The capacity building training will lay emphasis on requirements and opportunities in standards compliance and traceability. With inclusion of specific proposals in the CIDP a mechanism for measuring the increase in investment towards food safety and loss reduction.01-05-2019: >SOCAA and SACDEP are working with the respective county governments: smallholder capacity building was carried out at the Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) events in Laikipia and Nakuru; At farmer field days in Murang'a, Nakuru and Nyandarua >Additionally, The County Government of Nyandarua has a technical committee in potato production that offers training to the farmers. GIZ and KUSSEP are training farmers on potato value chain.>SOCAA has planned an indepth capacity buiding for selected value chain actors from all counties in association with regulator (HCD). At least one Plant Clinic/Farmer Field/Open Day per county should integrate Food Safety capacity building for smallholder farmers and value chain actors including the trained value chain actors working with county agriculture, health and trade departements facilitated by County government and CSOs >Nyandarua county government has come up with a county potato strategy 2017-2021 with an overarching goal of increasing potato yields in the county by at least 40% and income of potato farmers by at least 20% by December 2021 through participatory evaluation of potato breeding lines, variety demonstrations, improvement of production, promotion of mechanization and irrigation technologies, and improvement of pre and post-harvest management of potato produce, market access, enacting and enforcement of policies and regulations. This will enhance development of potato value chain.26-04-2020: Target was not achieved as Counties experienced severe shortfall in resources mid year that affected their investments in engagaing small holder groups in their counties SACDEP Nyandarua County- 1 In addition to the normal field days (e.g. one held in Njambini), Nyandarua county organised a mechanisation day at Weru sub-county Nakuru County - 0 no new events were held but the annual sub-county agricultural clinic days and field days were held as usual Laikipia County - 1 In addition to the normal field days, Nyandarua county organised an innovation day at Nyahururu25-10-2020: SOCAA through County director office of Nakuru shared the food safety materials to be used during various county plant clinic and field day. SOCAA also carried out a COP meeting to capacity build various COP leaders and food safety champions on food safety issues, traceability and budget/ investment on food safety. This empowerment was to prepare them to boldly instigate food safety activities during public budget forum. Due to the COVID19 pandemic further physical meetings were not possible in Q2 and CSOs are awaiting suitable environment to continue the engagements. >In Nakuru the county government hosted food safety committee meetings to review food safety draft food safety policy >Participated in organising food safety budget tracking webinar sessions for officers in relevant departments >In Murang'a the county government supported stakeholder participation in reviewing the draft avocado bill"The County Government of Murang'a has: 1. constructed a pack house for farmers at Makuyu 2. constructed a grading shed for french beans in the county 3. constructed a 400 acre irrigation scheme and rehabilitated other smaller irrigation schemes in the county to support horticulture production 4. supported market contracts between its smallhoder farmers and private firms such as: Kakuzi (for french bens and avocado), Vegpro (for french beans) and Olivando (for avocado)" • constructed a pack house for farmers at Makuyu The county government of Laikipia has: • allotted Ksh 11 million to a project which will be used to expand water pans and avoid siltation of dams during the short rain season so as to preserve water for the dry season and benefit smallscale horticulture producers. Laikipia county government will distribute irrigation kits and dam liners to farmers through the project The county government of Nakuru: • Prioritizes irrigation sub sector in its integrated development plan (2013/17 to facilitate small scale farmers to mitigate changing climate and overreliance on rain fed agriculture We expect that with increased engagement and information sharing, each of the focus counties (Murang'a, Laikipia and Nakuru) will begin to implement horticulture programmes addressing safety and loss reduction for important produce destined for the domestic market 20-06-2018: SOCAA was not able to access information on county annual investment plans for 2017 to assess progress. Further SOCAA was not able to access information on budgetary allocations. This information is held back by county governments and where allocations are reported there is re-allocation of the same through the year therefore difficult to verify.CSOs will make inputs to the county integrated plans to support food safety and loss programmes and monitor county annual investment plans for agriculture. With information that IFPRI will provide on budget analysis and tracking, CSOs should be able to track investments to food safety and loss.01-05-2019: >The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) determines the direction of investment for a county. CSOs provided food safety and loss reduction inputs into CIDPs for Nakuru, Murang'a, Nyandarua and Laikipia Counties but only Laikipia County prioritized food safety. However broad sector objectives in the CIDP such as increasing efficiency and effectiveness provide opportunity to have food safety an loss issues mainstreamed through the annual development plans. Food loss reduction programmes were captured in all 2018/19 annual development plans. >>At least one investment per county either on food safety or loss was anticipated in 2018 but only two can be reported from one county, Nyandarua; The county government of Nyandarua has invested in building of potato cold stores in Njambini and Shamata.Analysis of 2018/19 county annual development plans shows that county governments have activities related to postharvest loss management . We expect at least one new investment per county within 2019.26-04-2020: 1. Nakuru county government invested on improvement of feeder road through Boresha barabara initiative. SACDEP through closer collaboration with the county was able to identify on-going initiatives by County to improve road infrastructure under the Boresha Barabara initiative through which SACDEP plans to further pursue 2. Nyandarua County Government allocated more than Kshs. 54 million towards establishment of potato cold storage facility in Olkalao and Tumaini. These outcomes may have been influenced by SACDEP sharing their rapid assessment report of postharvest loss in key value chains in the counties that pointed to specific recommedations that needed to be taken up25-10-2020: Currently there are no significant changes on specific investments that have been recorded in the ADPs in regards to Food Safety in Horticulture. The Counties continue to address issues of infrastructure and inclusion of private sector in Horticulture. The Nakuru and Nyandarua County Potato Strategies are yet to be finalized due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shifting of focus and resources towards the health departments.Youth Enterprise Fund and Womens Development Fund do not have specific/dedicated allocation for FS&FLR related investments (Value addition, Storage and Agri-processing) We expect that National government will have a specific category within the Youth Enterprise Fund and Womens Development fund for investments in value addition, storage and processing of agricultural produceSOCAA will engage National government with proposal for modalities to incorporate specific FSFLR funding requirements for women and youth fundPerhaps the development of coding/indicators for food safety and use of IFPRI budget tracking tool in addition to mapping of county specific interventions addressing food safety will allow better engagement with government to promote allocation of funding for youth and women in FSFLR but this remains unclear for now and will need review.percentageThe Programme based budget for the financial year ending 30th June 2015 provide KES 10162930484 (ten billion one hundred sixty-two million nine hundred thirty thousand four hundred eighty-four) in estimates for the financial year 2016/17. The amount indicates an estimate of the expected allocation (not actual) for one programme under the State Department of Agriculture (Crop Development and Management). modest projection in annual target based on increasing recognition of food safety and loss reduction and 2017/18 projections 20-06-2018: "Due to national election in 2017, the budget cycle was expedited leaving very little room for CSOs to participate and interrogate allocations. Further, it has been difficult to access allocation figures for 2017/18. "Currently the National budget does not provide allocation for codes food safety. With Information that IFPRI will provide on budget analysis, CSOs should be able to track and better influence allocations to food safety and loss . The presentation of proposals towards CIDP will afford CSOs the opportunity to influence the allocations at subsequent sittings of the technical working group.01-05-2019: Currently the National budget still does not provide allocation for codes food safety. Food safety budget tracking tool will be ready for use in early 2019. Allocations to food safety by HCD will form the baseline for monitoring however, accessing this data from HCD has not been possible yet.TBC ( possibly by May 2019)26-04-2020: SOCAA used the IFPRI budget tracking tool to generate reports highlighting the distribution of budget to Agriculture and attempted to identify food sensitive and specific budget lines specifically touching on Food safety. Analysis indicated decrease in general investement in Agriculture but allocation to food safety could not be spceifically quantified immediately. This data will be provided in May 2020.25-10-2020: Review of 2020-2021 National Budget Proposals in light of CADDP recommendations for Food Safety indicated a reduction of budget allocated to the Food Nutrition security sector in FY 2020/2021. Budgetary allocations to agriculture are low and continue to decline. The agricultural sector, which is primarily responsible for food and nutrition, has been allocated KES 52.8 Bn, a decrease of KES 1.1 Bn or 2 percent from FY2019/2020. The sector allocation is low against the required budget of KES 97.7 (according to the BPS 2020) and therefore slashed by 46%. Growth in budget allocations to the sector is not keeping pace with the growth of the total budgets over the last 5 years. This is down from an allocation of 3.4% of the Total Voted Budget in FY 2013/2014. CSOs have not actively been able to engage with National Treasury in regards to allocation of budgets to Food Safety at National level. There has been a shift of allocation from traditional budget lines to institutions responsible for Food Safety and Post Harvest loss at National level such as HCD, KEPHIS for development of food safety legislature and food safety coordination units such as NHTTWG. At National level, allocation of 10% of national budget/public spending as per CAADP to agriculture is still being tracked an Ministerial level(Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock with no conclusive report yet to be released.percentageExpenditure figures 2016/17 not available yet Based on 2016/17 expenditure issues and 2017-2018 budget projections 20-06-2018: Expenditure figures 2016/17 are not yet available. It is also not clear how CSOs will track expenditure of food safety and loss as the two issues are packed in the broad food security agendaIt is still not clear how CSOs will track expenditure on food safety and loss, also this data has been difficult to source. However, with guidance from IFPRI report on budget analyis and tracking, SOCAA and SACDEP shoild be analyze data on expenditure for food safety and loss reduction figures are available01-05-2019: Currently the National budget still does not provide allocation for codes food safety.Food safety budget tracking tool will be ready for use in early 2019. Expenditure to food safety by HCD will form the baseline for monitoring however, accessing this data from HCD has not been possible yet.TBC ( possibly by May 2019)26-04-2020: Tracking of expenditure was hindered by the complexity in attaining expediture reports which are released 3 years post financial reporting which does not allow CSOs opportunity to review expenditure reports25-10-2020: Expenditure data difficult to sourceWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

CSO plans to advocate and lobby adoption of the National Food Safety Policy at all relevant forums20-06-2018: The national food safety policy remains at draft stage with little progress in breaking the current stalemate. A proposed Food and drug act was prioritised though not opened to public participation within the space of the year. CSOs were not able to review and provide inputs to the bill to affirm that the proposed act has carried forward issues of food safety identified in the National Food Safety Policy.SOCAA plans to advocate and lobby adoption of the National Food Safety Policy at all relevant forums and pressure through consumer demand to get discussion back on on track01-05-2019: The National Food Safety Policy still remains draft but is being integrated into the draft Kenya Food and Drug Authority act which is envisaged to handle the issues of collaboration and oversight for all state agencies on issues of food safetyKFDA is anticipated to move to parliamentary consideration in 2019. SOCAA and other CSOs have sufficient insight and evidence to provide inputs for consideration to ensure the legislation addresses contextual challenges relating to food safety for horticulture.26-04-2020: The KFDA bill was withdrawn in 2019 after review of the proposed bill by SOCAA along with other stakeholders supported its postponement for further consultation due to inconsistencies. SOCAA and other stakeholders thereafter submitted memorandum supporting formation of a National Food Safety Agency (NFSA) with a coordination mandate in line with evidence from the IFPRI Vietnam case study. The memorandum was received but no further action taken.25-10-2020: SOCAA engaged with the Ministry of Health and Agriculture to fast track the process of enactment of the NFSP. Currently the policy is yet to be enacted but discussions are on going at Ministry of Health level on the formation of a National food safety Agency that would be responsible for implementation of the Policy. In light of this, SOCAA put in a proposal for the review of the proposed national food safety agency which was proposed following the Senate reviewing the draft Food Security Bill (2017). SOCAA shared these views for discussion through the ASNET MSP platform under KEPSA. The process is still under review by both Ministry of Agriculture and Health with no indication when the agency will be formed and policy enactedWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

The existing women and youth funds are multi-purpose in nature and allocation is demand driven with a wide sector approach. SOCAA was not able to engage the Ministry of Public Service, Youth & Gender Affairs with the FS&FLR proposal for the youth and women funds as it sort first establish engagements at the county level inorder to develop a more informed proposalSOCAA will engage National government through Ministry of Public Service, Youth & Gender Affairs and respective related agencies with proposal for modalities to incorporate specific FSFLR funding requirements for women and youth fund01-05-2019: Review of framework suspended as women and youth funds are being collapsed into one fund.Using budget tracking indicators and evidence products from IFPRI and other partners SOCAA and other CSOs will engage relevant agency handling the consolidated women and youth fund to lobby for food safety specific allocations within the consolidated fund.26-04-2020: The youth and womens fund was collapsed into one collapsed fund hence tracking progress on allocation for specific groups has not been possible. In light of this, SOCAA supported food safety champions capacity building and engagement in the County Food Safety Committees in order to have more participation of various youth and women groups to address food safety25-10-2020: Due to onset of COVID-19 pandemic, CSOs have not engaged with relevant agencies in regards to Youth and Women fundsNo specific FSFLR programmes in CIDPs for pilot countiesCounties will be encouraged to incorporate specific FSFLR related programmes in CIDPsCSOs will engage counties at the on the CIDPs for inclusion of food safety and food loss reduction programmes.

Some of the Strategic priorities highlghted in the ADP are to address PHL and to support technologies to enhance crop production. >SOCAA supported food safety champions capacity building and engagement in the multi-stakeholder platform in Muranga County that further led to formation of value chain multistakeholder platform through other stakeholder such as NARIGP project. The champions are part of value chain platform and the county is in nthe process of development of Avocado regulations. SOCAA is also part of Avocado Value chain platform which so far has developed the Avocado upgrading strategy25-10-2020: SOCAA co-facilitated with Murang'a County in reviewing of the Murang'a Avocado Bill to the Members of county assembly in order to support its approval. SOCAA was involved in the review and drafting of the Murang'a Avocado Bill 2019-2020 which focuses on Production, Marketing and handling. SOCAA provided technical inputs into the legislation by highlighting areas of focus on Food safety in production and handling of avocado produce. SACDEP played a key role in sensitizing farmers on the existence of the Avocado bill, through community meetings and online platforms such as WhatsApp, and the aspects of post harvest losses that were being addressed i.e. correct harvesting times to minimize loss and storage conditions for the produce.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

The CIDPs were set out in 2012 for the period 2012-2017. CSOs engagement can only impact the CIDPs from year 2018 -2022 as a review will be done in 2018. In December 2017 SACDEP engaged the county Government on the status of CIDPs and the following were the findings; in Murang'a county SACDEP was advised to send a memorandum on issues to be included in the CIDP, Laikipa County is at its initials stages of development, Nyandarua the CIDP was already developed and is waiting County Assembly approval, Nakuru county is planning to hold a stake holders forum on CIDP where CSO inputs will be invited. CSOs commenced review of current CIDPs with aim to input proposals for food safety and loss reduction in the next version.

The County Food Safety Committees have picked aspects of the proposal as part of their action plans.25-10-2020: SOCAA supported formation of FSCs in Nyandarua which has already been recognized by the policy makers( Ministers of Agriculture) at County level as the key platforms for coordination of food safety mandates. Though the plans from different institution comprising the committee are yet to be harmonized the communication among the members has been smooth and are currently developing food safety policy as a platform that could be the start for the holistic and common approach of coordinating food safety. SOCAA provided inputs to county FSC Nyandarua food safety committee during activities planning on 4th March 2020.

This initiative was further supported by anaother partner working in food safety and a first draft food safety policy was developed where County assembly members were involved25-10-2020: SOCAA has continued to advocate for recognition and inclusion of food safety activities in ADP. This was reflected in Nakuru County 2020/2021 budget plans through public participation forum held early this year which stipulated various activities geared towards creating awareness on food safety such as consumer awareness drives. SOCAA participated in Nakuru County Pre-budget public forums and facilitated public participation of consumers through training on budgets using the IFPRI budget tracking tool and providing resources for consumers to attend forums with county govt, private sector and consumer actors for more effective participation in the budget setting for the county. SOCAA has facilitated County FSC formalisation with full support from the County, developed action plans and lobbied for budgetary allocation to enable the FSCs undertake coordination of food safety initiatives in the county. SOCAA has been instrumental in the development of the draft Nakuru County Food Safety Policy through the Food Safety committee through the provision of technical inputs into the document and putting in resources to support webinars and conferences for the review of the policy At the county level, SOCAA facilitated Budget Allocation webinars that centered discussions around the allocation of budget to food safety supported by the County Executive Committee Member of Agriculture, Dr. Immaculate Maina. Resolutions from the webinars were to put forward discussions to the department of planning to allocate budget towards food safety initiativesNo evidence in the last five years of new policies/ regulations developed, adopted and implemented for FS &FLR that address horticultural produce in the local market CSO plans to increase advocacy efforts for passing of the Food and Drug Bill 20-06-2018: No new policies/ regulations developed, adopted and implemented for FS &FLR that address horticultural produce in the local market. KS1758:2 was passed in 2016 and its framework for implementation is still being developed. Also, the content of the proposed food and drug act is not yet availed to the CSOs due to internal processes at the ministry of health.SOCAA plans to initiate advocacy efforts for public engagement on the draft Food and Drug Bill as soon as it is available and establish its impact on the overall development of a harmonised policy framework for food safety as per the advocacy agenda.01-05-2019: >The county government of Nyandarua has begun process to develop its county potato sector strategic plan and is close to completion which was a process that was independent of the V4CP CSO activities. CSOs are working towards being involved in the accompanying potato implementation plan >There has also been review of the potato industry regulations 2018 that are at the floor of the house assembly for debate/ review. CSOs have provided recommendations on the regulations.SACDEP and SOCAA will be involved in the following policy processes: >Draft KFDA bill is expected to move to legislative stages in 2019 and SOCAA along with other stakeholders has been updated on the same. >Inputs from work with KNTWG have formed a clear roadmap for CSO advocacy on inclusion of relevant recommendations from the draft National Food Safety Policy. >MOALFI has indicated interest to support Food Safety integration within Horticulture Strategies to be developed with County Governments. >The county government of Nakuru is considering development of its county potato sector strategic plan26-04-2020: SOCAA and SACDEP were involved in the following policy processes: 1.Draft KFDA bill was withdrawn and invitations done for memorandum on an alternative bill for the NFSA which SOCAA and other CSOs gave inputs towards. 2. Inputs from work with KNTWG have formed a clear roadmap for CSO advocacy on inclusion of relevant recommendations from the draft National Food Safety Policy. MOALFI initiated a Food Safety Working Group to develop a roadmap for current food safety concerns and included SOCAA in the process. Counties were advised against instituting new food safety laws without the overall framework from the National Government 3. Horticulture regulations were published for public review ahead of gazettement but following public outcry these were subjected to further review and then submitted to the AG for drafting 4. SACDEP Kenya facilitated the County Government of Nyandarua to review it potato strategic plan and County Governement of Nakuru to draft its potato strategic plan. 5. The national potato regulations have also been passed and SACDEP and its partners are collaborating with the government in awareness raising as enforcement begins25-10-2020: SOCAA has been involved in the following policy processes: 1. SOCAA was involved in the development of Ministry of Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries matrix for the operationalisation of the National Horticulture Technical Working group ( NHTTWG) term of reference which address Food Safety as per the various Sub-Committees and in line with the National ASTGS 2. SOCAA submitted their recommendations on the proposed Tax amendment bill 2020 for the removal of VAT that was to be imposed on Farm and Agricultural Inputs. This recommendations were submitted through the ASNET (Agriculture Industry Network)MSP platform. The recommendations were instrumental in the removal of VAT on farm inputs to relieve economic pressure on small holder farmers in accessing inputs SACDEP has been involved in the review of the Nyandarua and Nakuru Potato strategies but due to the onset of COVID-19, work on the strategies has been delayedThe national traceability system is new therefore no registered traders. Since the national traceability system will run as a pilot at the beginning, we expect at least one company will be agreeable to testing the system. We will however monitor private traceability certification systems for horticultural produce initiated by private companies for the local market. 20-06-2018: The national traceability system pilot did not take off as planned, a number of parameters for the pilot were not finalised with the identified partners as projected including the contract with the identified aggregator and delays with the roll-out processes for KS1758:2 Standard (the standard is meant to be used for capacity building)Until the national traceability pilot is implemented and evidence shared to support its roll out, we do not expect any companies to be licensed this year except for the company in the pilot01-05-2019: KS1758:2 Implementation framework was not completed as expected in 2018 therefore no clear pathway for counties or regulators to use the standard for certification or issuance of licences.Process of KS1758 implementation is expected to be concluded in 2019, this process allows County Governments to review their frameworks for issuing/promotion of quality assured horticultural brands in the market place. SOCAA will engage with different market actors (1.KNCCI, 2. RETRAK, 3. Hoteliers and Caterers and 4. Schools) for the customization of KS1758 implementation processes to be in tune with market realities. However, since the process has been larglely slow at national level, we anticipate a similar situation at the counties but will work to encourage a pilot for at least one26-04-2020: Process of KS1758 implementation roll-out was expected to commence in 2019, this process allows County Governments to review their frameworks for issuing/promotion of quality assured horticultural brands in the market place. However the development of tools by industry and government was not completed by end of year. SOCAA will engage with different market actors (1.KNCCI, 2. RETRAK, 3. Hoteliers and Caterers and 4. Schools) for the customization of KS1758 implementation processes to be in tune with market realities. However, since the process has been larglely slow at national level, we anticipate a similar situation at the counties but will work to encourage a pilot for at least one25-10-2020: There is no increase in the number of traceability licences but The Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD) led a technical committee on the KS1758 implementation tools has conducted a review of the tools and status as at the end of 2019 with SOCAA providing technical inputs and support for the process. The onset of COVID 19 necessitated online consultations on the tools which is ongoingThe national traceability system is new therefore no registered fresh produce brands yet The National traceability system is likely to be piloted on 2 horticultural food produce as a start. 20-06-2018: The national traceability system has not been piloted or rolled out for domestic markets, the processes towards this are still under discussion due to nature of relationships between national and county govt and therefore no registered fresh produce brands using the system. Marketers have not shown a keen interest as traceability is not mandatory at the moment for purposes of branding.The National traceability system is likely to be piloted by a number of aggregators now that KS1758 is a mandatory standard for commercial growers and guidelines for its implementation are under development.01-05-2019: As KS1758:2 based traceability certification scheme is not formally completed or launched there are no brands in the market with such certification. SOCAA has engaged horticulture industry associations (FPEAK and FPC Kenya) and regulator (HCD) as well as Kenya National Technical Working Group on Horticulture (KTWG) to lobby for a quick completion of the process.An interim methodology for quality assured brand placement in the market place has been agreed with Aggregators and is expected to kickstart the availabilty of traceable horticultural product brands to consumers. Working with HortImpact business cases towards relevant certifications will provide further consumer choice on certified and traceable brands. At least three brands are expected to have both traceabilty and certication while others will have traceability and self assessment parameters for purposes of consumer assurance.26-04-2020: Pending the rollout of the KS1758 implementation plan SOCAA worked with private sector providers of traceability sytems to sensitize makret actors on the processes and benefits to value chain actors. Several horticulture enterprises are exploring branding using those process marks but this is not an official scheme as the branding is based on GLOBAL GAP (Local GAP) which is a private certification scheme.25-10-2020: There is no clear increase in the number of traceability brands, Follow-up and monitoring of onboarding of local traceable certified brands at supermarkets and other formal outlet levels is still ongoing due to need for Infrastructure investment for establishment of traceability structures. There are delays in part due to the COVID19 situation as a virtual monitoring platform has not been established/used for the purposes of evaluation of traceability and certification follow-up. Green Rhino and E-prod solutions are 2 private organizations that have worked closely with SOCAA to establish traceable brands by providing traceability systems and local labels (Healthy Green Choice label by Green Rhino and Eprod system) that can be placed on horticultural produce. Working with SOCAA, Eprod and Green Rhino are working towards the release of the local standard KS1758 and training of farmers on traceability. Local GAP, KS1758, is still following with specific supermarket chains to onboard certified product.None facilitated yet. CSO scoping for existing consumer platforms In 2017, CSO plans to facilitate awareness creation on FS and FLR for 3 consumer platforms/ technical working groups defined by business, social or religious ideals (1 platform in the first half and 2 platforms in the second half) 10-01-2018: SOCAA (Society of Crop Agribusiness Advisors) collaborated with Consumer Unity and Trust Society (CUTS) in convening a consumer round table on food safety in Nairobi. Being fairly new to the counties, SOCAA has spent most of its time establishing contacts and understanding the local cultural landscape in order to identify appropriate platforms to engage consumersSOCAA plans to hold high level launch meetings in each county to raise awareness on food safety and food loss reduction issues and from this point establish platforms from which consumer organisations will begin to engage. In addition SOCAA's website will have functional page specifically covering food waste and loss reduction and the organisation will continue to share food safety and loss information on its common portal with Consumer Unity and Trust Society (CUTS).25-11-2018: Online platform (http://socaa.or.ke/foodwatch-kenya/)created on SOCAA's website, the same is to be linked to the joint FNS website (CUTS and SOCAA). Consumers at present can source information from the site but degree of interaction is not well measurable. The #SafeFoodSecureKenya campaign has provided direct consumer engagement at events and online via social media.We anticipate 5 functional platforms, one at national and 4 at county level to be activated in 2018. At national and county level SOCAA will facilitate through rotating quarterly conferences. Conference platforms have been identified in partnership with AgriProfocus, Sustainable Inclusive Business (SIB), KNTWG and the Kenya Horticultural Council (including Fresh Produce Exporters Association (FPEAK), Fresh Produce Consortium among others. At county level these will be organised in collaboration with Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) for stakeholder and consumer engagement complemented with food safety/ food loss reduction champions raised at grassroots by SACDEP08-10-2018: >At the 3rd conference on sustainable inclusive business held in Nairobi, SOCAA facilitated a platform for private sector and county government to connect on food safety and loss reduction. SOCAA hosted a breakaway session with the theme: Optimizing the business of food. Panelists at the session included, Yielder, SNV (HortImpact), County Government representative (Kiambu); discussion centered on how to increase quality, scale and decrease losses. Platforms at county level (targeting consumers as institution - schools, hospitals, hospitality sector) are still at planning stage with SOCAA in discussions with Kenya Chamber of Commerce to initiate community of practice events. >SACDEP Kenya, organised and facilitated one technical working group in Nakuru County. The technical working group consisted of the county government officers, private sector, CSO and the community champions. The technical working group highly focused on FLR especially on Irish potatoes. This group submitted a memorandum to the county government on the CIDP for of measures to address FS&FLR.We anticipate 4 more functional consumer platforms at county level. At county level these will be organised in collaboration with Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) for stakeholder engagement complemented with food safety/ food loss reduction champions raised at grassroots by SACDEP. SACDEP Kenya, is now conversant with the County Agriculture Chief Officers and Directors in Nyandarua and plans to facilitate a technical working group in the county and focus on cabbages, irish potatoes and kales. The technical team will go a long way to assist in coming up with policies on the specific value chain loss reduction01-05-2019: Since CoPs were eventually established at sub-county level as opposed to county , the original target was surpassed. SOCAA initiated collaboration with Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) County chapters in Laikipia, Nyandarua, Nakuru and Muranga and following multi-stakeholder awareness engagements at sub-county level established consumer platforms in 3 counties. These platforms were established at zonal/sub-county level: 3 in Murang'a, 3 in Nakuru and 4 in Nyandarua. Consumer platforms were not established in Laikipia as engagement forum was postponed to 2019.SOCAA will work with each County to have a formal food safety network overaching and incorporating the sub-county food safety forums. These consumer platforms will fully incorporate consumer groups, value chain actors and county govt officials for a collaborative approach to enhancing and sustaining the consumer voice in the counties. At the national level in collaboration with KECOPAC and other actors the ad-hoc consumer platform on food safety will be promoted for consumer engagement.08-10-2019: Functional Groups/platforms have been facilitated by SOCAA at County level to address issues on food safety. The groups have put in place quartely meetings and agenda for discussions guided by action plans designed jointly with the CSOs to ensure continuity. The platforms/groups developed include: 1.SOCAA has worked with Nakuru County to create the Nakuru Food Safety Committee which serves as a formal/informal food safety network overaching and incorporating the sub-county food safety forums. 2. Working with CUTS, SOCAA have contributed in the creation of Laikipia and Nakuru Consumer watch group platform. These consumer platforms incorporate consumer groups, value chain actors and county govt officials for a collaborative approach to enhancing and sustaining the consumer voice in the counties 3. 11 COP groups in Nakuru, Nyandarua, Murang'a and Laikipia continue to participate in capacity building workshops and receive updates through communication links established for onward communicatons at grassroots.1. SOCAA will continue to work with Nakuru County Food Safety Committee as well as equivalent committee in Nyandarua and similar to be formalized in Murang’a and Laikipia. These committees will serve as the focal point for engagement on the food safety action points raised in previous sub-county food safety forums (COPs) as well as in current and emerging engagement platforms such as the county consumer watch groups and horticulture technical working groups. (4 CFSCCs) 2. COP groups in Nakuru, Nyandarua, Murang'a and Laikipia will continue to participate in capacity building and interlinkage to support further formalization of the same, sharing of information (briefs and updates) through communication links established for onward communication at grassroots level and engagement in county policy making processes (public participation). (11COP groups)26-04-2020: SOCAA worked with Nakuru County Food Safety Committee; was enjoined to equivalent committee in Nyandarua; and a multi value chain platform (FSC) in Murang'a as well as initiated the County FSC process in Laikipia. These committees will serve as the focal point for engagement on the food safety action points raised in previous sub-county food safety forums (COPs) as well as in current and emerging engagement platforms such as the county consumer watch groups and horticulture technical working groups. (4 CFSCCs) SOCAA facilitated the formation COP groups in Nakuru, Nyandarua, Murang'a and Laikipia were engaged via online communication channel (WhatApp) but encouraged to join the county consumer forums for sustainable engagement, capacity building and interlinkage to support further formalization of the same, sharing of information (briefs and updates) through communication links established for onward communication at grassroots level and engagement in county policy making processes (public participation). (11COP groups). These groups are currently not functional at the county level as autonmous bodies however respective members have been seconded to county Food Safety Committee's where these have been established.25-10-2020: Food Safety Committees in Nakuru, Nyandarua and Muranga have been engaged on Food Safety Policy (Nakuru and Nyandarua) and on Avocado Strategy (encompassing food safety) in Murang'a county. Engagement for Laikipia county still under development with committee formalisation stalled due to COVID19 situation. SOCAA carried out a capacity development meeting with Nyandarua FSC on evidence generated such as FBD study, Vietnam case and Traceability that empowered the committee to carry on with the development of a food safety policy that will enable the food safety cordination in the mandates. Nakuru and Laikipia meeting on the same were previously done in year 2019.Nakuru County is also in the process of development of food safety policy and SOCAA is supporting by offering technical inputsNL-KVK-41152786-1796-3SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationKenya-ResilienceThrough the ‘Voice for Change Partnership’ (V4CP) programme, SNV works to strengthen civil society organisations (CSOs) in their role as advocates and lobbyists.

(CSO Climate Change Coalition, KCCWG, PLF, DLCI, ASAL Forum, ADA, Min. livestock, Environment and water, KEPSA, KNCC and Kenya Leather Development Council) 23-05-2018: In spite of the political party campaigns during the period, the CSOs managed to have meetings with national and county government officers. This was due to good rapport and connections that the CSOs had with specific contact persons in respective institutions, as well as being able to demonstrate that the discussions were urgent, especially in the light of worsening droughts in pastoralist areas. Resource Advocacy Program working in coordination with National Drought Management Authority, Isiolo has convened meetings to identify opportunities, collaborate and synergise around climate resilience. CSOs have also sought one on one meetings with government officers at every opportunity. Resource Advocacy Program has held meetings with Isiolo county officials and with Members of County Assembly (MCA) seeking information/ clarification on county budget allocations to water and climate change, progress on climate change fund bill and customary bill and County Integrated Development Plan. Centre for Minority Rights Development met officers from Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change Unit and shared inputs to the climate smart agriculture framework. Kenya Livestock Marketing council held separate meetings with National and County government officers (Director of livestock production - State Department of Livestock, Isiolo Governor, County Director of Livestock- Marsabit, County Director of Veterinary services - Isiolo, county lawyer, county clerk) on sale yard bill and livestock identification and traceability strategy. The biggest challenge was due to the fact that many government officers were not sure the direction government policy would take after elections, depending on whether the current governments would be retained or be replaced after the general elections. That uncertainty contributed to reluctance of the officers wanting to meet and make commitments they were not sure would be taken on board should new governments be in place after elections.CSOs will be engaged at county level on the county integrated development plan (CIDP) and at national level will engage with government on climate change policy frameworks and their interplay with county governments. CSO will also hold meetings to follow up policies affecting livestock marketing such as the sale yard bill and traceability strategy.27-11-2018: KLMC meetings: >meeting with state department of livestock and discussed status national livestock policy (NLP) which is under review.

The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorCSOs normally take part in Quarterly EDE partners meetings and annual Kenya ASAL Forum and Kenya ASAL Advocacy Group. These engagements are helping partners to lobby for Climate Change Fund Bill, In 2017, CSO1 will hold 1 National Policy Advocacy Forum at the national level and 3 follow up meetings targeting national policymakers (Legislators and Ministries - MOLFA, MOE, Treasury, NDMA). In addition, it will hold a Social Media Campaign as an Advocacy Strategy to influence Climate Change Policy as well as attend national, regional and international conferences to influence policy at these levels. CSO2 will hold 2 such meetings in Isiolo County and CSO3 2 in Marsabit County (CECs Agric & Livestock, Water & Climate Change, Finance & Planning, etc) 10-01-2018: Although political party nominations and general election campaigns have made it difficult for CSOs to hold national meetings with government officers, CSOs attended two forums: one to discuss Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) strategic plan and the other and made contributions on drought risk management at Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) meeting. CSOs anticipate more regular interaction with government with election campaigns ending. CSOs will rely on good relations that some of the partners have cultivated with related government departments while working on other projects.

CEMIRIDE was nominated to lead the Climate Change Policy caucus."CSOs will continue to engage with climate change unit within Ministry of Agriculture and share evidence on climate finance for action. CEMIRIDE will publish more media articles on climate change and pastoralism to get their voice heard and opinion sort . CSOs will create a Pastoralists Working Group to provide inputs to the National Climate Change Action Plan becuase the review process has largely excluded the voice of the marginalised and vulnerable groups"08-10-2018: CSO influence on climate change policy at national level has improved substantially. CSOs had anticipated to review and give inputs to National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022 only however, following request by the Cabinet Secretary of Environment, Cemiride and Pajca were tasked to convene a marginalised community stakeholder participation workshop and to consolidate feedback for consideration. >CSOs have continued to raise profile on climate change and pastoralists in the media: a press conference was held in Kajiado by CEMIRIDE and pastoralist representatives on drought and shock associated with climate change where pastoralists were reported to have lost 232,400 cows to drought. KLMC also gave media commentary on government approach for control of livestock disease citing mass vaccination of livestock in Garissa and across North Eastern Kenya as an issue. > CEMIRIDE, KLMC and PACJA have been invited to share their agenda at various forums including the Climate Fund Regulations, National Climate Change Action Plan for 2018-2022, the Private Sector Climate Change meetings, Social conversations on minorities and the Asal Advocacy Group Meetings. >PACJA has facilitated inclusion of V4CP resilience group partners and other pastoralist CSOs in the national CSO climate change platform (Momentum Committee). >PACJA has facilitated review of the climate change Action Plan agenda for 2018-2022 to ensure inclusion of marginalised groups including pastoralists > Among issues presented in a memorandum to Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG) in 2017 by CSOs was establishment of the Livestock Marketing Board, KLMC is doing follow up on the issue and discussions are on-going>The likelihood of CSOs interests being considered is high with growing recognition for specific inclusion of marginalised groups in government policy. The interest of CEMIRIDE as member in the Asal Stakeholder forum championing for policies that consider marginalised communities have seen them included in the Governments agenda of enhancing resilience of the fisher folks, hunter gathers and pastoralists. >CSOs intend to step up interactions and meetings with key Government offices including the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the National County Assemblies Forum.

Furthermore, as a result of CEMIRIDE gaining a seat at the national CSA multi-stakeholder implementation platform, we are in a capacity to influence policy concerns with the Climate Change Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture on ensuring the implementation of the CSA framework effectively involves the aspirations of pastoralists and other indigenous communities. CEMIRIDE will also strengthen its working relationship with the media to continue influencing the climate change and pastoralism discourse within the media, and hence influencing policy actors to pay more attention to the concerns of marginalised communities08-10-2019: CEMIRIDE - 3 As a result of CEMIRIDE gaining a seat at the steering committee of the Climate Smart Agriculture Multi-stakeholder implementation Platform, CEMIRIDE has been able to advocate for the active inclusion of marginalised communities in the CSA implementation process as well as the need to enhance their adaptive capacity and resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change. > CEMIRIDE was further actively involved in refining of the Multi-Stakeholder Platform’s mission, vision and value statement to ensure that the aspirations of marginalised communities were captured as an integral part of the of the Platform. > CEMIRIDE was able to get into a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Gender & Equality Commission with regards to the inclusion of marginalised communities in the implementation process of the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022. This was as a result of CEMIRIDE taking the lead in the agitation for the representation of the concerns of marginalised communities in the NCCAP. The National Gender & Equality Commission’s role would be to advance CEMIRIDE’s role by opening more spaces with other government ministries and agencies on the inclusion of the marginalised communities in the implementation process; and thus expands our scope reach to different stakeholders. > CEMIRIDE convened the 1st meeting of the National NCCAP 2018- 2022 Reference Group that consists of marginalised communities’ members and CSOs. They were able to map out their priorities and the need for an engagement framework for sustained dialogue with the Ministry of Environment & Forestry on the implementation process. KLMC - 3 KLMC successfully bargained for its inclusion in the technical committee for development of livestock insurance policy;initiated strategic partnership with ASF and NDMA for possible upscaling of CCCF mechanism to other ASAL Co ...>CEMIRIDE aims to strengthen its working relationship with the media to continue influencing the climate change and pastoralism discourse within the media, and hence influencing policy actors to pay more attention to the concerns of marginalised communities. •CEMIRIDE plans to influence further the inclusion of marginalised communities in the implementation process of the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022 through the National NCCAP Reference group. •CEMIRIDE will maximize on the goodwill it has created with the National Gender & Equality Commission through the Memorandum of Understanding to ensure the concerns of marginalised communities are articulated in the implementation process of the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022 by all relevant Ministries & Agencies. •CEMIRIDE will target KPW 2019 to influence its policy agenda with government and the private sector. ​ >KLMC will be engagaging state department of Agriculture, livestock and Fisheries, PPG, ASAL Forum, FCDC, NDMA and KLIP on development or review of relevant policies and other related agenda. Strengthened b availability of evidence on feasibility study on county abbotoirs and presentation of the same to FCDC and COG on partnership between regional blocs on sustainability of abbotoir projects. ​ >PACJA intends to strengthen its engagement with the national line minitries including NEMA, Treasury and Climate Change Directorate on Climate Finance Tracking and Cliamte Finance Bill for Marsabit County, Gender analysis, National Climate Change Action Plan and further engagement on bufget coding. Engagement with NEMA is especially expected to strengthen given the impending work on the climate finance tracking tool.26-04-2020: The 3 CSOs are engaging government on different policy processes and their level of influence remains high although for KLMC there is a noted decline due to limited engagement on the KLIP process. KLMC - 2 >Discussion on Kenya Livestock Insurance programme (KLIP) stalled, the committee tasked to steer the process has not met since its installation. The process has been delayed due to unavailability of funds to drive the process. The KLIP policy development process is driven by a multi stakeholder technical working group and convening the group has been a challenge especially with the recent austerity measures by the national government which have affected budget allocations to such policy development process. However, KLMC engaged closely with State Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on Livestock Insurance Policy and Livestock Master Plan where it is nominated to the committee that steers formulation of the two documents. >KLMC also engaged NDMA on drought emergency response through media and at roundtables on participatory scenario planning. Through the County steering group convened by NDMA the drought emergency plans proposed by KLMC were actualized. PACJA & CEMIRIDE -3 Implementation of the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022 (NCCAP) is well advanced process with both CSOs validating an engagement framework document with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. >Working with Climate Change Directorate CEMIRIDE has made a case for marginalised communities and influenced the inclusion of marginalised communities in the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022 engagement framework >Working with National Gender & Equality Commission CEMIRIDE was able to mobilize key stakeholders in preparation for KPW 2019 >Working with Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Multi Stakeholder Platform (MSP) CEMIRIDE was able to incluence the mainstreaming of marginalised communities ...25-10-2020: > KLMC has made a niche for itself in terms of implementing components on livestock and resilience program and will remain an active member of key committees and national platforms (insurance committee, livestock master plan committee, member of KNPCG, ASF,JASCOM) and key allies to (PPG, COG, FCDC, KNCC,KEPSA) this will put us at vantage position to ensure our interest are discussed and advanced at government and private sector meetings. >With the engagement framework with NGEC and Ministry of Environment, CEMIRIDE anticipates that it will be not only be invited but consulted by key government stakeholders. It is also anticipated that in these consultations, CEMIRIDE interests and will be placed on the Agenda and that it will be able to explain its position, and that these interventions will cause strengthening of the pastoralists voice in relevant processes, and or that these voices if earlier left out, will begin to be included in planning and policy implementation. >PACJA plans to continue working with the national CSOs through the Kenya Platform for Climate Governance (KPCG) in lobbying and advocacy around the operationalisation of the CSO engagement framework, in-depth gender analysis report in the context of NDCs, the devolution conference, the post and pre conference of parties 2019 and 2020 respectively as well as CSO engagement with the private sectorWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorCSO1 engages Government departments at County level each quarter through County Adaptation Planning Committees and County Steering Group Meetings. CSO2 is a member of County steering committee as shown in the Livestock strategy document. These engagements are helping partners lobby for Climate Change Fund Bill, Sales Yard Bill and Customary Bill. RAP will hold policy advocacy meetings in Isiolo County and Kenya Livestock Marketing Council in Marsabit County with CECs Agric & Livestock, Water & Climate Change, Finance & Planning, etc 10-01-2018: Although political party nominations and general election campaigns have made it difficult for CSOs to hold meetings with government at even at county level, KLMC (Kenya Livestock Marketing Council) and RAP (Resource Advocacy Program) attended Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs) forum meetings in Isiolo. RAP (Resource Advocacy Program) has also been selected chair of Isiolo WASH forum to spearhead discussion on the Water and Climate Change Bill. CSOs will hold policy advocacy meetings at county level (Marsabit and Isiolo) in the second half after the general elections. KLMC (Kenya Livestock Marketing Council) together with other organisations is involved in advocacy efforts to ensure the National Livestock policy is approved by cabinet. The policy acknowledges co-management as a model that support sustainability and organize livestock marketing in the pastoral regions. KLMC is promoting adoption of the co-management model at county level. Adoption of the model should contribute to improved service delivery e.g. veterinary services (provision of drugs; vaccination; quarantine of sick animals) and livestock services at community level (water points; feed reservoirs; cattle dips; livestock insurance system) 25-11-2018: Isiolo and Marsabit counties have started to review their five year development plans (county integrated Development plans - CIDPs) . To institute climate change resilience focus in the CIDPs, KLMC has made presentations to county goverments on the key priority areas that if implemented could enhance the current level of pastoralists’ resilience. KLMC also facilitated the livestock and the veterinary technical staff in the two counties through a write shop to come up with sector specific plans with a view of integrating them into the overall CIDPs."CSOs will continue to engage in relevant technical working groups (water and climate change) and provide specific inputs to county integrated development plans through joint memoranda . PACJA, CEMIRIDE and KLMC will further work jointly to develop and disseminate a tool/guide for integration of climate change and gender considerations in policies and plans. The three CSOs will engage the county governments (Isiolo and Marsabit) and private sector with a stronger voice through a CSO Network that will be formed "08-10-2018: Engagement with county government has improved in particular as a result of CIDP recommendations by CSOs being adopted to a large extent in Marsabit County >Through the climate change platforms established at county level, PACJA in collaboration County Government officers has facilitated sensitization and review of the Rangelands Management Bill and Climate Change Bill in Isiolo county to strengthen capacity of CSOs to engage >Separately as well, KLMC made presentation on sale yard bill to county government officers in Marsabit. KLMC also participated in CIDP 2018-2022 development process through presentation of a joint memoranda to the technical team for both Isiolo and Marsabit counties and has established that the proposed recommendations have been captured comprehensively in Marsabit CIDP >The Isiolo Customary and natural resource management bill is now scheduled for discussion at the floor of the County Assembly after KLMC held discussion with house clerk on the progress of the bill and need to have it fast-tracked.>CSO committees have been established through PACJA at county level to discuss climate change policy. County Government offices have offered to coordinate the committee meetings which enhances lkelihood of the issues discussed forming government agenda. The county office in Isiolo county have expressed need for assistance in mainstreaming of Climate change, disaster management and Gender issues; the following products are expected from PACJA: tool/guide with resilience group for integration of climate change and gender considerations in policies and plans; situational report on sustainable, climate-resilient investments in pastoral areas; policy analysis for gaps in climate change policy/ action/financing and gender considerations affecting pastoralists. CSOs will engage County Government (Department of Livestock,Water and Environment) on resilience building based on the products developed so that it becomes a key agenda in climate change discussions30-04-2019: Level of influence based on the policies passed varies across the two counties as follows: Isiolo 3 and Marsabit 2 >PACJA made inputs towards the climate change Fund Act as well as the rangelands management policies in Isiolo and Marsabit counties. Submissions were made through memos which were submitted to the relevant policy stakeholders involved in drafting the policies. On November 2018, Rangeland and livestock policies for Isiolo County were introduced to the County assembly for discussion. KLMC also significantly contributed to this outcome by facilitating public participation in Garbatulla, Cherab and Oldonyiro wards in Isiolo on request by CEC Finance and Planning. >Agriculture Sector coordination forum has been established in Isiolo and Marsabit domiciled at department of Livestock. KLMC is the secretariat to this forum and as a result , has been well placed to set agenda for interaction on policy engagement between private sector, government and CSOs. Members of the forum include: technical people from livestock, crop production, fisheries, Governor's delivery unit, representatives from NDMA at county office and CSOs in livelihood and resilience, representative from butchers association, hides and skin traders, feed lot operators and milk producers. The forum meets quarterly to discuss emerging issues and is now monitoring programmes for resilience building/service delivery/economic development for better coordination and less duplication of efforts. So far 3 meetings have been held in Marsabit and one in Isiolo.>KLMC will continue to support County sector coordination forums to set agenda for interaction between business, private sector,CSO, national governemnt agencies at county and county governemnt to strengthen coordination and synergy for enhancing resilience and economic growth outcomes. atleast 3 evidence product (budget tracking, policy brief for hides and skin, CO-managment) will be shared at this forums and budget forums. >PACJA will support the development and operationalization of climate change processes and policies and regulations in the counties, the Climate change policy in Marsabit counties and climate change Fund regulations in Isiolo.08-10-2019: KLMC -2.3 KLMC interaction and influence on agenda setting is at all time best (3) both in Marsabit and Isiolo because KLMC has been nominated as secretariat for the sector coordination, invited to meetings and workshops by relevant county departments, CSOs, executives, assembly and sub-national state agencies to moderate workshops, make presentation of their interests and propose their agenda. However, in Samburu the value is scored at (1) because KLMC has only recently expanded scope of their work to the county PACJA - 3 PACJA's involvement with Marsabit County has been on the positive. So far, PACJA has been able to validate the gender mainstreaming tool kit to climate change resilience, the meeting with the County Executive Committee Member for Water Environment and Natural Resource Development and his team from the department to deliberate on county policy proceses was widely welcomed and a green light has been given to proceed to the county climate change adaptation bill.>With increase in communication,meetings and interactions with stakeholdes in Samburu county,the level of influence is anticipated to increase >PACJA targets to upsacle the engagement with Marsabit County through supporting processes towards the realization of the Climate Change Adaptation Policy and the Bill for Marsabit County >CEMIRIDE will conduct a social audit on climate change budgeting in Kajiado county in the latter part of 2019. As an intended consequence, our engagement with the County Government of Kajiado during the process, CEMIRIDE will be able to influence climate financing processes.26-04-2020: The level of influence is high in the initial project counties (Isiolo and Marsabit) but low in new counties where CSOs have recently extended reach i.e. Samburu and Kajiado KLMC - 2.3 KLMC activities are in 3 counties Marsabit, Isiolo and Samburu. Scores are as follows: Isiolo and Marsabit - 3; Samburu - 1 >KLMC interaction and influence on agenda remains very high both in Marsabit and Isiolo. progress has been made in the passing of ammendments to the saleyard act in Isiolo and position in Isiolo CASCOM; in Marsbit the saleyard bill has been introduced to assembly and is due for public debate. >In Samburu the value is still scored at (1) because saleyard discussions have stalled due to general political concerns/ uncertainities affecting the larger county and Livestock Dept. PACJA - 3 Using KLMC's strong network in Marsbit, PACJA has been able to advance climate change policies fairly fast >In 2019, PACJA has been able to influence Marsabit County on the County Climate Change Adaptation Policy as well as implementation of the gender mainstreaming tool kit with the following key engagements: 1. On 21st November 2019, PACJA engaged Marasabit County Climate Change Chapter on development of an action plan to implement the Marsabit Climate Change Adaptation Policy 2. In the third quarter of 2019, PACJA held an exchange learning for the Isiolo and Marsabit County Climate Change Chapters to capacity build the Marsabit platform on the process of developing an act CEMIRIDE -2 >CEMIRIDE expanded its outreach to Kajiado county in 2019 and has been able to present its agenda for pastoralists on climate change issues >CEMIRIDE conducted social audit on climate change budgeting in Kajiado county in the latter part of 2019. There is rapport with departments within the Government of Kajiado and an engaement framework will be possible in 2020 that will spell out key25-10-2020: KLMC: Isiolo and Marsabit - 3; Samburu - 3 Due to COVID-19, interactions were resticted. Public participation necessary for the passing of various laws and policies was made difficult and as such many policies (e.g. county saleyard bills) that were expected to have advanced up to adoption are still in the pipeline. However, KLMC kept close contact with key county policymakers even during the tight restriction period and now that restrictions have eased, engagement on this policy processes is quickly picking up. The saleyard regulations process in Samburu is advanced, at cabinet and county assembly level for discussion, which is a marked improvement from the situation in 2019. PACJA: Marsabit 3 and Isiolo 3 >PACJA has had very good engagement in the operationalisation of the Climate Change Adaptation Policy of Marsabit County. The Policy was launched in Augus by the County Government led by The Governor and the Department of Environment and its objectives made widely known to the general public through media engagement. Through Marsabit climate change chapter CSOs were advancing awareness and capacity building. They planned to use local radio to promote awareness and hold stakeholder meetings with government to improve implementation. PACJA has supported the awareness initiatives of the county CSO climate change chapter. Following the launch, plans have been set in motion to work on the related climate change bill ( to be led by PACIDA) and the climate change regulations ( to be led by PACJA with support from V4CP) which should be ready 2weeks time within September 2020. >PACJA'a engagement in Isiolo is through the CSO platform. Consultations and exchange of knowledge between the platform and PACJA on climate change matters are regular. CSOs continue to keep close watch on County Climate Finance Bill that requires that 2% of the county budget is set aside as a kitty for addressing climate change resilience. Proprietor of Anaolei milk, Abdo Aziz ...We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests CSOs occasionally collaborates with National and County Government departments in coordinating activities like with NDMA in convening CAPC and CSG. meetings and with County finance and planning to undertake community consultations on planning and budgeting processes. CSO is a member of County steering committee and County stakeholder forum which is to be held twice in a year as indicated in Livestock strategy 6.3 delivery vehicle In 2017, CSO will work to deepen interaction with CSOs, Private Sector and Government (CSO Climate Change Coalition, KCCWG, PLF, DLCI, ASAL Forum, KLMC, ADA Consortium, NDMA, Ministries, KEPSA, KNCC, Kenya Leather Development Council) through organized meetings. CSOS will thus move from ado to more regular meetings In this regard, CSO1 will hold 4 County Livestock Stakeholder Forums in Isiolo and Marsabit Counties. CSO2 will conduct 4 Quarterly multi-stakeholder forums while CSO3 will hold a National Collaborative Forum followed by three follow-up meetings 10-01-2018: KLMC (Kenya Livestock Marketing Council) is working with Kenya Leather Development Council on Kenya Leather Development policy (Ministry of Industrialisation) and has formed an alliance with Kenya Veterinary Association and Kenya Veterinary paraprofessional Association and issued common statement on policies and issues affecting the livestock sector including management of Kenya Meat Commission, affirmative action on veterinary paraprofessionals, remuneration for veterinary officers, waiver on export tariff for hides and skins, passing/ signing of Veterinary and Agriculture policy. Improving pastoralist economic resilience is important in the context of climate change. One of the major bottlenecks of livestock marketing in Kenya is presence of livestock diseases. Reduction in livestock disease through better delivery of veterinary services will open Kenyan livestock to export and better markets. Trade in hides and skins provides additional income to pastoralists which can be used to access veterinary services, acquire fodder or improve herd composition in the face of climate change. In the remaining half, CSOs plan to work with Kenya Climate Change Working Group (KCCWG) and form alliances with other organisations to strengthen their course to pursue climate change policy and legislation adoption and/or review. CEMIRIDE (Centre for Minority Rights Development) has held meetings with PanAfrican Climate Justice Alliance with intention to pursue collective action on climate justice.26-11-2018: At the national level KLMC engaged and formed partnership with the directorate of veterinary service on livestock identification, collaborated with relevant sectors such as state departmernt of livestock and the national drought management authority on disaster risk mitigation. KLMC also engaged with relevant sectors such as state department of livestock and the national drought management authority on disaster risk mitigation. CEMIRIDE worked closely with the Ministry of Agriculture Climate Change Unit, and provided inputs into the Climate Smart Agriculture Framework, engaged Climate Change Directorate to discuss the National Climate Change Action Plan Review and participated at Kenya ASAL (arid and semi-arid land) Advocacy Group. As a result of the multi stakeholders’ engagement in the development of this policy, a second county Disaster Risk Management Policy paper is in place."CSOs aim to achieve a stronger collaborative degree with key government institutions and other sector players CEMIRIDE and PACJA will pursue greater engagement with CC unit in the review of Climate Change Action Plan by seeking opportunity to present inputs PACJA willl conduct County level consultative round table meetings with CSOs, county governments, national government agencies, and private sector on increased collaboration for pastoralist resilience and deliver a report on sustainable, climate-resilient investments in pastoral areas that CSOs can use to advance pastoralist climate change resiliene agenda especially in the development of annual investment plans "12-12-2018: This score provides indication of average collaboration levels for Government and private sector. Collaboration with Government and businesses is improving but a lot more effort is needed to improve private sector engagement: National level - 3 >The Ministry of Environment in Partnership with CEMIRIDE, PACJA and other partners organized a national consultation forum on the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022 in Nakuru for CSOs, youth, pastoralist communities and other vulnerable communities in the last mile counties. This was a joint plan by the Government and CSOs to ensure views of marginalised communities were consolidated for consideration. >KLMC is now included in the taskforce charged with preparation of livestock insurance policy and will be in a position to influence plans that are made. > KLMC and Kenya Leather Development Council (KLDC) have agreed to sign MOU on interventions for development of leather value chain in ASAL. KLMC will collaborate with The County Governments to put extension services and sensitization on quality hides and skin for the pastoralist community . Private sector collaboration: 2 >KLMC has worked with livestock value chain traders in Isiolo county in formulation and implementation of Isiolo county saleyard bill 2016. >Cemiride has been organizing roundtables to discuss opportunities uptake of livestock insurance. This was discussed in Kajiado county >CEMIRIDE has already initiated a round table discussion with KAM with the aim of creating alliances with the lobby association.

CEMIRIDE organised the regional and national workshops to collect the views of pastoralists. These views were subsequently presented to the NCCAP Taskforce in the form of a report and consequently led to the inclusion of pastoralists in the current NCCAP 2017-2022 >>KLMC initiated strategic partnership with ADA Consortia composed of Asal Stakeholder Forum (ASF) and NDMA to do scoping/learning mission for County Climate Change Fund (CCCF) mechanism with view of developing joint proposal for replication of CCCF as piloted by Adaptation Consortium (ADA) to 3 additional Counties of Marsabit, Kajiado and Samburu. 1 policy brief will be ready in 2019 f ...Through the gains made in securing an influencing role in the CSA implementation process as well as the National NCCAP Reference Group, CEMIRIDE will pursue consistent consultations in government plans and decisions in the implementation of the NCCAP as well as the CSA. The collaborative efforts will be aimed at ensuring the prioritisation of pastoralists needs and aspirations in the planning and implementation stages of policy that will adversely affect them. Additionally, it will facilitate its agenda through discussions with government at the Kenya Pastoralists Week 2019, the Climate Smart Agriculture implementation process and the National Climate Change Action Plan II (NCCAP) implementation process, the ASAL Forum 2019, the Annual Devolution conference and the Climate Risk Insurance Conference. In 2018 KLMC initiated partnership with NDMA for drought planning and Response where there is formal agreement that NDMA will involve KLMC in scenario planning and use their market inventory for decision making and response in Kajiado, Makueni,Kitui, Tana river, Garissa, Wajir and Mandera. NEMA has submmitted proposal for replication of CCCF into 18 remaining ASAL counties to Green Climate Fund Board (GCF) with formal agreement that KLMC will be key stakeholder in informing the generic program and supporting implementing specific component of programs.08-10-2019: CEMIRIDE - 3 >CEMIRIDE has advanced its advocacy mission through collaboration and the development of new partnerships based on its thematic focus and its niche i.e. marginalised communities. > CEMIRIDE continued engagement with Government on policy through the Kenya Platform on Climate Governance hosted by PACJA, as well as the Climate Risk Insurance engagement platform by Transparency International and the Kenya ASAL Advocacy Group. > CEMIRIDE was involved in the 3rd cycle of the Universal Periodic Review process as a convenor of the Marginalised groups thematic working group where it reported on the impact of climate change on marginalised communities in Kenya. KLMC -3 KLMC initiated strategic partnership with Asal Stakeholder Forum (ASF), National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and ADA consortium to explore possibility of replicating CCCF mechanism in Samburu, Marsabit and Kajiado. This was preceeded by learning visit to CCCF pioneer counties to gather evidence on the gains, opportunities and reflections on the model in terms of improving community resilience to impact of climate change. KLMC was included in the committee to participate in the process for formulation of policy framework for development of Kenya livestock insurance policy to ensure effective and pastoral friendly policy. PACJA - 3 PACJA has been able to cement its relationship with the Climate Change Directorate with activities including but not limitted to having the Civil Society Organizations Input on the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022, and a similar enagement on CSO engagement framework. Similarly, the Climate Change Directorate has been able to assist PACJA in budget coding with the aim of tracking climate finance. On the same tangent, PACJA has been able to engage with the National Environment Management Authority through the training of CSOs on adaptation fund. PACJA has also been able to engage with th ...26-04-2020: Collaboration at national level improved, primarily due to joint action with government on the National Climate Change Action Plan by both CEMIRIDE and PACJA KLMC - 3 > policy dialogue on KLIP stalled as the committee tasked to lead the process has not met since it was instituted; also, collaboration with Council of Governors (COG) did not take place since draft evidence on feasibilty of county abbotoir is still under review. However, KLMC actively collaborated with MoALF on the Livestock Policy and related Master Plan being a member of the national steering committee CEMIRIDE - 4 CEMIRIDE implemented activities jointly with Government including: >Collaboration between NGEC and CEMIRIDE in planning Kenya Patoralist Week (KPW) >CEMIRIDE with the climate smart agriculture MSP is developing a policy brief to highlight the favourable conditions of scaling up CSA in Kenya and will identify intervention gaps and provide recommendations. >CEMIRIDE is also working to support the NCCAP reference group to engage with the Climate Change Directorate (CDD) PACJA - 4 >Collaboration between CSOs and national government is good especially on NCCAP.

KLMC has continued to have good collaboration with NDMA extending to county level e.g. rangeland policy in Isiolo. NDMA invited KLMC to provide inputs to discussions on the climate change fund bill invited KLMC to the meetings for input. KLMC is a member of two NDMA committees at national level i.e. on marketing and institutional development. The committees have only held one meeting this year because of COVID-19. >The relationship between KLMC and designated technical line ministries (MOALF, MOTI,) and partners (NDMA, KNCC,KEPSA,ASF, COG) will continue to flourish due to a number of activities in the pipeline that need to be completed before end of July 2020 e.g. Cascading National policies to the counties through guidance in the development of livestock policies. >Engagement with MoALF on the National Livestock Insurance Policy has progressed to development of related bills both at national and county level. * KLMC had started discussions with State Dept. of Livestock to hold a workshop for DoALF CECs to provide a forum to share issues of livestock insurance, co-management model etc but this has been made difficult by restrictions imposed by COVID-19. *Also, Abattoir study evidence was received late, planned engagement with FCDC and COG on the study findings has not been fully possible.

At the county level, KLMC did the following: -organised meetings with the Isiolo and Marsabit county governments on the development of the sale yard bills and other necessary policies such as the county contigency fund for Isiolo county -participated in Isiolo county Disaster Risk Management Policy (DRM) the policy formulation process by making a presentation that clearly stipulated the pastoralists’ concerns with regards to climate adaptation and supporting public participation events in Merti and Biliqo wards for validation of the policy. Hitherto, lack of a county Disaster Risk Management Policy has made it difficult for development and civil society organizations to conduct proactive interventions to mitigate climate related disasters. -facilitated the livestock and the veterinary technical staff in the two counties through a write shop to come up with sector specific plans with a view of integrating the plans into the overall county integrated development paln - CIDP.""CSOs will focus on conducting a joint county stakeholders’ forum for Marsabit County to finalize the livestock market bill and to operationalize the Isiolo sale yard policy by finalizing on the implementation mechanisms. CSOs will also hold lobby meetings with the pastoralist leadership forum in order to mobilize the relevant policy makers and key institutions for cross-sector joint meetings and planning CSOs will conitnue to work with county governments to develop CIDPs that support climate change resilience building for pastoralists by submitting memoranda and organizing forums to explain inputs and share evidence Inclusion of the Livestock Marketing Associations and KLMC will advocate inclusion of the county based livestock council committee members in identification of priority areas for risk intervention by the county government "08-10-2018: This score provides indication of average collaboration levels for County Government and private sector. County level: 2 ( for both couties - Isiolo and Marsabit) CSOs interaction at county level is vibrant especially now with formation of climate change committees where local CSOs meet to discuss and agree on actions towards implementation of climate change related policies. Government departments have been represented in these meetings and it is hoped that with their continued participation, CSOs will be able to influence county agenda more directly through joint activity plans >In addition to working through the climate change committees, KLMC has engaged with Isiolo county executive committee to improve the County's understanding of co-management and revenue sharing formula and review of Isiolo County Livestock Sale Yard Bill regulation >Also, Marsabit’s CIDP has largley incorporated recommendations to ensure enhanced resilience of the pastoral community after a joint memorandum by KLMC, CEMIRIDE and PACJA was submitted.

In 2018 KLMC commissioned budget tracking study in Marsabit and Isiolo to assess level of resource allocation to climate sensitive sectors and supported the advocacy budget meetings and lobbied the relevant assembly committee for budget increase to climate sensitive sectors. In June 2019, budget estimates for financial year 2019 /2020 for Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries in Isiolo increased to +9.9% while in Marsabit budget increased to + 8.7% for both the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and The Department of Water and Environment respectively. Although not all plans have been processed to completion (e.g. Marsabit livestock trade and market bill and Marsabit livestock policy, Isiolo sale yard act ammendment) there is still close collaboration with the county governments on this. >In Isiolo county, KLMC collaborated with the department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Division of Livestock in orgnising Isiolo Livestock stakeholders forum. KLMC suggested TOR for the forum which were accepted. KLMC also disseminated policy brief for budget tracking 2013-2017 for Isiolo showing budget allocation to agriculture sector which was received well >Together with other partners, KLMC organised a meeting with assembly committee of agriculture, CEC, CO,Directors for Agriculture,Livestock production,Veterinary services and county director of legal services of Marsabit to discuss Marsabit livestock trade and market bill 2019 and Marsabit livestock Policy whose approval process has been delayed. The meeting was fruitful with a commitment from the respective offices to fastrack the process PACJA - 3 Collaboration between PACJA and County Government of Marsabit is growing. PACJA has worked quite well with Mio-Net (an umbrella civil so ...> KLMC was nominated as a secretariat to Isiolo Livestock stakeholders forum. Through this forum KLMC will drive the agenda for increased budget allocation to agriculture sector to address climate change >PACJA targets to strengthen county engagements with the pipeline climate change policy and bill processes. Similarly, the existence platform members (Kenya Platform for Climate Governance) will be a vehicle towards strengthening these ties. >During the build-up to the Kenya Pastoralists Week, CEMIRIDE intends on working with the relevant county government and private sector actors to stir up debate on concerns facing pastoralists and pastoralist-centred investments at the county level.26-04-2020: The level of collaboration is high in the initial project counties (Isiolo and Marsabit) but quite low in new counties where CSOs have recently expanded reach i.e. Samburu and Kajiado KLMC - 3 Marsabit and Isiolo - 4 >KLMC's collaboration with the county departments of Marsbit and Isiolo is very good (4). KLMC has been coallaborating with the counties of Isiolo and Marsabit on development and adoption of the Saleyard Acts. Feedback has been received from senior offices/ decision makers like the CEC DoALF of Isiolo on Saleyard act ammendment passing and progress on debate on the Marsabit saleyard bill by the Chair of the Agriculture Committee in Mrsabit . Samburu - 1 >In Samburu the value is still scored at (1) because saleyard discussions have stalled due to political concerns/ uncertainties in the county that are affecting general operations in the county including the livestock dept. PACJA - 4 >Collaboration between PACJA and Marsabit County Government is also very good and there has been significant progress on climate change adaptation policy. On 21st October 2019, PACJA had an engagement with the CSO actors of Marsabit together with the County government department of water officials to develop a road map for inclusion of the CSO actors in the implementation of the county climate change adaptation policy for Marsabit CEMIRIDE - 2 >Engagement between CEMIRIDE in Kajiado County is growing but still in the early stages being a recent focus county. CEMIRIDE originated the social audit process and invited the County Government of Kajiado to participate25-10-2020: Collaboration is very good at county level but in new counties like Kajiado, this is still being established KLMC: Marsabit and Isiolo - 4; Samburu - 3 >Collaboration at county level remains high despite engagement hiccups due to COVID-19. In Samburu Saleyard regulations process is picking up now and engagement is much better. KLMC had meeting with Department of Trade and Legal office in Samburu for the regulations. PACJA: Marsabit 4; Isiolo -3.5 >PACJA's collaboration with the Marsabit County Government Department of Environment, local CSOs and partners like PACIDA has led to significant progress and success in implementation of the county climate change adaptation policy and the gender mainstreaming tool kit. >PACJA was involved in Isiolo through the CSO platform on climate change although not in a leading role. The platform has been active in following up implementation of the county climate finance bill. CEMIRIDE: Kajiado 2 Collaboration in the county of Kajiado was limited as CSA platform is yet to be established. The SNV CRAFT project has developed interest in working in Kajiado from the work that CEMIRIDE has shared although no concrete plans have been madeWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

KLMC also engaged with relevant sectors such as state department of livestock and the national drought management authority on disaster risk mitigation. CEMIRIDE worked closely with the Ministry of Agriculture Climate Change Unit, and provided inputs into the Climate Smart Agriculture Framework, engaged Climate Change Directorate to discuss the National Climate Change Action Plan Review and participated at Kenya ASAL (arid and semi-arid land) Advocacy Group. As a result of the multi stakeholders’ engagement in the development of this policy, a second county Disaster Risk Management Policy paper is in place." | 20-06-2018: "KLMC and CEMIRIDE mobilized and held the pastoralist parliamentary group meetings both in Nairobi and Mombasa. In this meetings the issue of pastoralist resilince to climate change was discussed and action points developed KLMC held a meeting with the EDE cluster lead to discuss priority interventions with regards to drought risk management. Meetings with the State Department of Livestock and other national stakeholders on the development of the draft MTP 3. The formation of the Livestock Marketing Board was discussed and picked as a deliverable for the joint partnership CEMIRIDE published an article on importance of mobility of pastoralism which was widely read and elicited several supporting comments. This has contributed to changed publishing of mainstream media stories about pastoralism and climate change, CSOs also attended Kenya Asal Advocacy Group (KAAG) Quarterly meetings on different policy issues. CEMIRIDE was nominated to lead the Climate Change Policy caucus.""During the PPG meeting some members were of the view that the PPG meetings be made a quarterly activity as this would generate the necessary ideas/concerns for advocacy and provide follow up on action. CSOs will follow on this by organizing meetings with PPG on a more regular basis. CEMIRIDE and KLMC will also organize forums at National level where government can share progress various processes and planned activities and provide feedback to civil society demands. The Kenya pastoralist week organized annally by CEMIRIDE will be one important forum for this. KLMC will engage the national government on key policy issues presented during the PPG meetings including the punitive tariff that was levied on the exportation of raw hides and skins. "30-04-2019: The level of accountability remains the same. Government as well as private sector have been engaged with CSOs on matters climate change to an extent. These engagements have however been ad hoc and there is need for formal channels of engagement with the CSOs >CEMIRIDE and KLMC organised PPG breakfast meeting prior to KPW 2018 during which MPs were appraised on the Climate Change discourse in the country. A number of areas that were of concern to pastoralists were discussed including involvement and participation in the NCCAP 2018-22 formulation, the Equalisation Fund, the Climate Change Funds at the County levels, Livestock Insurance amongst other areas. While the meetings were to have been targeted and regular, this was not possible though individual MPs were further engaged. The MPs felt that there was need to for CSOs to strengthen capacities of MPs and Members of County Assemblies on how to link the Equalisation Fund to Climate Change Adaptation and hence lobby for its speedy implementation. The MPs were also of a strong opinion that for accountability, the implementation committee for the Equalisation Fund includes community/ CSO representation.CEMIRIDE will work with KLMC and PACJA to regularise the PPG meetings and organise at least one County Assembly Forum meeting as an accountability mechanism or report card on the legislative arms of national and county government to ensure accountability. CEMIRIDE shall also work with the CSA and CCD to develop frameworks of engaging the marginalised communities including pastorslists to ensure accountability in climate process and actions through deliberate includion and consideration of their concerns26-04-2020: Accountability at national level is varied based on 3 policy frameworks that CSOs are following: livestock policies (2) NCCAP (3) ; CSA (2) Livestock related policies - 2 >Two committees set up by Government are in place to follow up on two policies: KLIP and National Livestock policy. The committee tasked with KLIP has not met since it was instituted hence follow up has been difficult. >The National Livestock Policy committtee has however recently become vibrant and review of the draft is ongoing although progress is unclear >Although KLMC had cultivated stong relationship with PPG and remains one of the key ally/stakeholder it has become difficult to have regualr meetings due to polarising national politics(referendum discourse) that divided the group right in the middle. NCCAP - 3 In December 2019, PACJA was assigned the role as designate CSO to track all the climate finance by the national treasury. PACJA is also designated by the Climate Change Directorate (CCD) to report on behalf of the national Civil Society Organizations on the implementation of NCCAP II. Through the Kenya Platform on Climate Governance (KPCG), PACJA is reporting to stakeholders including government on these processes and making follow up through the system to enhance accountability. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) - 2 >CSA MSP steering committee exists as a forum for consultation with MOALF on implementation CSA framework. The CSA project funded by world bank should support marginalised communties but feeedback on intereventions and progress towards this has not been forthcoming from the Ministry >NGEC marginalised communities platform also exits but the definition by NGEC of marginalised is in contention and as such following the agenda for marginalised communities (including pastoralists) through this platform has not progressedWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

KLMC organized and supported some livestock marketing associations to particpate in the development process of the county integrated plan. The event was also publicised through the local radio (Baliti FM) with the support of KLMC"KLMC will organize forums county level where government can share progress on planned activities and get feedback from civil socity groups Establish and support county-level pastoralist climate change policy CSO platforms KLMC will monitor and engage theMarsabit and Isiolo county governments on their integrated development plans and subsequent resource allocation for climate related activities at the forums"30-04-2019: The level of accountability remains the same but there is a general increased sense of responsibility. The county has engaged with CSOs through CSO platforms at the county on matters climate change.The county government of Marsabit has committed to work closely with the CSO platform for enhanced information exchange on matters climate change in the county. The need for accountability is growing, for example at the 3rd Stakeholder forum in Marsabit technical officers from livestock department were nominated to do field visit to assess progress/outcome of programs implemented by partners in thematic area of livelihood support. Their feedback and action from this exercise will be significant in informing sector coordination. Livestock marketing associations (LMAs) and Ward County Climate Change Planning Committee (WCCPC) were coached to be champions to advocate and Lobby for inclusion of programs that builds resilience, reduce poverty and equality at County Planning and Budgeting process public participation forums. This has empowered citizens to be proactive in public participation and raise demands for accountability. For instance in Kinna public participation 2018, citizens sustained request to be provided with progress report on implementation of their expressed priorities in the previous financial year; a clear indication that there is demand for accountability at grassroot level.>The County Agricultural Sector Coordination forum where KLMC is secretatirat will meet quarterly to discuss progress in implementation of among others the ADP, provide recommendations and follow up for feedback. >KLMC and PACJA will also follow up on the climate change working group in Isiolo and Marsabit. >CEMIRIDE will Develop Participation and inclusion framework through social audit for pastoralist community climate governance champions from Isiolo, Kajiado, with a view to identifying opportunities for better engagement >planned media campaign, dessimination of evidence products and targeted coaching of community champions before next County budget froums will enhance accountability at the sub-County and grassroot level. The new evidence generated (2017/2018) expenditure and dessimination of the pending evidence at budgeting and planning forums and close follow up from KLMC, and champions both at assembly, grass root and executive will increase demands for accountability at County level.26-04-2020: Accountability is reasonbly good in the initial project counties (Isiolo and Marsabit) but quite low in new counties i.e. Kajiado Marsabit - 3.5; Isiolo - 4 KLMC through the county Livestock stakeholders platform, KLMC has been following progress on the following key issues: (1)Monitoring of resilience programmes and priorites(2) Budget increase for agriculture (3) fastracking of policies and regulations concerning livestock. During the 9th Marsabit county livestock forum current issues affecting the livestock sector were discussed and Government response to concerns raised has been good e.g. >concerns on readiness of the government to deal with outbreak of rift valley fever was adressed to the satisfaction of particiapants; >The department responded also to the status of livestock trade bill as bieng debated upon in the assembly and the government will push the assembly to expedite the process > on approval of Marsabit livestock policy the department promised to make follow up to ensure it is approved by cabinet > and progress towards 10% malabo thresholds for agriculture budget currently stands at 8% and deaprtment will continue to champion for achieving the 10% marker and more. > Having bieng the secretariat of the County sector Coordination Forums KLMC is at vantage position to set agenda and influence policy discourses discussed throught the forum; The forum has created space for service providers( DOALF and CSO) and services users (LMA, milk traders, hides and skin traders, butchers) for dialogue and dissent where community representatives can demands for actions and answers on issues that are critical to resilience and economic development; for instance the department of livestock were questioned time and again why they are taking too long to operationalize CO management; The forum is critical tool for accountabilty becuase all CSO who are memebers to the forum share ...25-10-2020: Marsabit - 5; Isiolo - 5; Kajiado - 2 >KLMC remains a very active member of CASSCOM on implementation of county policies in Isiolo and county livestock stakeholder forum in Marsabit, being in the secretariat. >In Isiolo County the CSO platform in which PACJA collaborates, has kept the government in close check as regards implementation of the county climate finance bill > In Marsabit the CSO climate change chapter inwhich PACJA is active has been vibrant advancing operationalisation of the county climate change adaptation policy through a public awareness campaign and catalysing the development of the related bill and regulations in collaboration with the County Government >The climate change community champions network was established in Kajiado county with support form CEMIRIDE but regular engagements with Government are yet to be establishedconfidentialconfidential20-06-2018: "Key decision makers identified have changed since 2017 national elections, as such support from the new office bearers will have to be observed afresh in the early phase of 2018 and changes reported at the end of the year. In 2017 CSOs and a climate change expert vast in Kenya climate change landscape and knowledgeable of the key stakeholders carried out an asssement of 13 key decision makers/ decision making bodies at national level including (Cabinet Secretaries: Agriculture, Water and Irrigation, Environment and Natural Resource, Devolution and Permanent Secretaries in the respective ministries, Climate Change Secretariat, Directors of relevant of authorites: National Drought Management Authority, National Environment Managemnt Authority and parliamentary committees: Parliamentary committee Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Parliamentary committee on budgeting and planning . Most of the office bearers showed support for pastoralist resilience building e.g. Cabinet secretary Agriculture: The Ministry is in the process of reviewing the following crucial policies and intends to domesticate them to the counties: - National Livestock Policy - National Emerging Livestock Strategy - Livestock Insurance policy - National camel policy - National food security and Nutrition - Irrigation policy The Ministry of Agriculture is also currently undertaking rehabilitation of infrastructure such as dams, pans -The ministry Launched a Regional forum on African CS secretary environment and natural resource -Initiative to combat desertification and improve resilience to climate change, -Rehabilitated 400,000 hectares of public land to enhance the government’s strategy on combating desertification, -The Ministry also developed a climate change strategy to sustain afforestation and re-afforestation initiatives CS Devolution: Implemented the Hunger Safety Net Program in Wajir, Marsabit, Turkana, and Mandera Parliamentary committee Agriculture, Livestock and ...confidential30-04-2019: The policy maker rating will be done early 2019. It was not possible to assess support from the new office bearers as planned in the early phase of 2018 as they were only getting started with little known about them. Their interest could only be confidently assessed after some period of engagement in the sector and this will be done in 2019. So far a number of key decision makers have shown interest in pastoralists and climate change: For instance, the CS Environment has on several occasions called for effective engagement of marginalized/ indigenous communities (including pastoralists) in climate change planning and actions. The Directors at the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation have been supportive towards special attention towards marginalized communities and inclusion in actions. A senator on the floor issued a statement calling for support of pastoralists resilience in March 2018. The Environment and Forest CS on several occasions called on the engagement and inclusion of marginalized communities in the climate change actions and planning. The Director of Climate Change Unit in the Ministry while at first reluctant to engage with marginalized communities became very supportive and called for the an engagement framework with marginalized communities. The Directors at Climate Change Unit have increasingly publicly supported the pastoralists resilience. This came through as CEMIRIDE was able to influence the CS Environment and Forestry to push for deliberate inclusion of marginalized communities in the process of reviewing the NCAAP. This was done through various platforms including meetings with senior staff of the Climate Change Directorate, the Kenya Pastoralists Week that brought together County and National Government officers, as well through the media. It is notable that this influence was picked up by the President who also while addressing the 7th CCDA, emphasized the fact that marginalized/ indigenous communiti ...More engagements are planned with the various relevant government institutions including the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG) (clustered meetings) the Climate Change Directorate on the NCCAP and other relevant areas like Gender inclusion, the ASAL Forum- that brings together ASAL counties, KPW 2019, the County Assemblies Forum, Frontier Counties Development Council bringing together ASAL counties and County Executive Council members amongst others. These engagements are targeted towards getting more policy/ decision makers in Marsabit and Isiolo counties (including 1. Governors 2. Chief Executives -CECs, of two departments: Water, Energy, Climate Change and Agriculture also 3. County Assembly committee chairs for Agriculture, County Assembly committee for environment, land and natural resource, County Assembly committee on planning and budgeting) expressing public support for pastoralist resilience to climate change actions.26-04-2020: KLMC planned to engage with the various relevant government institutions including the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG), the MOALF,FCDC,ASF,KLDC (clustered meetings) on relevant issues like insurance policy,feed policy, NLP, 80% export levy and drought emergencies. However no change in support is seen from key decision makers on these issues; discussion on insurance stalled, evidence on county abbatoirs was not disseminated and despite sharing evidence on export tax no changes were constituted or enforced. The policy maker rating method was not strictly conducted but according to the guidance provided in rating support, CEMIRIDE analysis of 2019 engagements confirms increased support from 3 key decision makers: 1. CS Environment Keriako Tobiko - since the NCCAP 2018-22 process he has always shown public support for the engagement of marginalised communities including pastoralists in the relevant climate change processes. In 2018 the CS publicly called for the involvement of marginalised communities in the NCCAP 2018-22 development, and in 2019, during a meeting with CCD Assistant Director Thomas Lerenten, CEMIRIDE was assured that the CS was still very much in support and will push for any policy interventions that will be of benefit tmarginalised communities. 2.The Climate Change Unit Director, Ms Veronica Ndettu, in a meeting with CEMIRIDE in November 2019 reitarated the comitment of the CS Mwangi Kiunjuri, to supporting the marginalised community involvement in climate smart agriculture and was supportive of the policy environment to reflect that. 3. Dr. Pacifica Ogolla, the Head of CCD, was supportive of a marginalised community engagement framework with CCD which will secure better involvement and consultations of the communities on climate change processes. She indicated that she was eagerly waiting for the draft framework and adoption of the same. Also, in quater three, PACJA held a national validation conference for CSO engagement ...25-10-2020: >Increased support was noted in key policy makers at NDMA. The CEO, James Oduor attended the policy atlas webinar. He also ensured that his officers were present during the CSO climate change chapter meetings at county level. >NETFUND (on NDCs) and CCD (with NCCAP assented to by executive and CSO engagement framework soon to be adopted) > The Director of KLIP has been very supportive for the insurance policy being cascaded to county level. MoALF through Kenya Livestock Insurance Programme (KLIP) involve KLMC in all activities they undertake. >Due to COVID-19 disruption of normal activities, CEMIRIDE was not able to effectively engage especially with high level government officers including Cabinet Secretaries of Environment and new CS Agricultureconfidentialconfidential20-06-2018: "Support from 22 decision makers (Governors, Chief Executives -CECs, Chief Officers and Directors of the following Ministries - water, energy, climate change and Agriculture, parliamentary committees: County Assembly committee for Agriculture, County Assembly committee for environment, land and natural resource, County Assembly committee on planning and budgeting in Isiolo and Marsabit counties) was monitored. Majority of these showed some level of support for climate change resileince building (e.g On June 1st 2017, the Isiolo county assembly chairman of house committee of Environment and Natural Resources and member of county Assembly from Cherab Ward mentioned that the county assembly is establishing Isiolo county climate fund legislation) however, the political mood and the preparations for 2017 general elections especially the political activities at the counties disrupted CSO advocacy activities. Key policy makers including the county executive committees, members of county assemblies and even the governors were all involved in the current political processes and accessing them turned out to be a difficult task. The drought experienced in many parts of the ASAL counties in 2017 also made it difficult for the project staff to conduct advocacy engagements as planned; crucial county leaders were involved in emergency drought interventions with little concentration given to civil society proposals for long term solutions to climate change and resilience building. Further, after 2017 national elections, office bearers in these positions have changed hence their support will have to be observed from early 2018 so that changes in support of pastoralist resilience building efforts can be reported at the end of the year."confidential30-04-2019: The policy maker rating will be done early 2019. It was not possible to assess support from the new office bearers as planned in the early phase of 2018 as they were only getting started with little known about them. Their interest could only be confidently assessed after some period of engagement in the sector and this will be done in 2019. However, 12 key decision makers have shown interest in developing livestock markets: >In Isiolo CECM finance, CECM trade and cooperative development and CECM agriculture all promised to support revenue sharing accord between LMA and County as envisaged in sale yard act. CECM agriculture promised to hand over 15 major markets in Isiolo to be managed by CLMC following success stories of Co-management in Oldonyiro. >Assembly committee for agriculture, trade and finance declared to support amendments to the sale yard act and regulation once it was introduced to the floor of the house following lobby meeting by KLMC. CECM agriculture is convener of the CASCF; chairpersons assembly committee for both agriculture and Environment promised to champion for adequate allocation of resources to their respective sectors during budget appropriation by assembly >In Marsabit CECM agriculture and Livestock at a cabinet meeting requested office of the Governor to write letter to expedite the legislation of Marsabit livestock trade bill, PS livestock agreed to be convener of CASCF and champion for increase in budgetary allocation at executive. Assembly chair for agriculture committee agreed to be champion in Assembly for both livestock trade bill and adequate allocation of budget to livestock sector. Also chair for Environment and water committee to be champion for adequate allocation of resources to this sector during budget appropriation in assembly.

MOHAMUD M. ALI- Marsabit, Governor of Isiolo H.E Dr. Kuti and their CECs, Chief Officers, County assembly committees on Agriculture, Budget and Finance, Environment and natural resource. These key decision makers will be monitored for their support towards Isiolo sale yard act and regulation amendment and Marsabit livestock trade bill enacted into law. Also, for their support towards increased allocation to agriculture, water and Environment sectors.26-04-2020: A total of fifteen policy/decision makers were rated in 3 counties of Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu. They include; Executive ( CEC and CO for DOALF and Water and Environment sector); technocrats ( Director for livestock, director for environemnt and naural resource); assembly ( chairs for agriculture committee and environment committee). >Their support/influence were rated on issues of interest that includes; sale yard act, allocation of resource to climate sensitive sectors, rangeland and livestock policy in Isiolo. >There was increased support from 3 key decision makers in Isiolo and Marabit respectively and 1 for samburu > the support by executive to sale yard act in Isiolo has improved since our engagment with the new CEC for agricuture and livestock.

The County Secretary (former CEC Environment) has been instrumental in prioritising environment and related climate change issues at executive level as he is in charge of the governor's diary. It's now very easy to access the Governor. >At the grassroots, there has been engagement with Environment management committees (EMCs) who are essentially community elders with sweeping decision making influence. The EMCs have been central in passing and operationalisation of Marsabit Adaptation Policy.CSO had signed Co-management MOUs in Marsabit and Samburu . MoU with Isiolo to be finalised in 2017. CSOs will advocate adoption of co-management model for livestock markets, finalize MOU signing where the model has been gained acceptance and promote adoption of bills that support implementation of the co-management model and services that support the livestock markets 20-06-2018: MOU has been signed in Marsabit County. KLMC initiated a policy discussion with the county of Marsabit with regards to the adoption of the co-management model in the management of livestock markets. Several county based stakeholders including the Food for the Hungry partcipated in this discussion. The specific role that KLMC played in this is that it mobilized all the stakeholders and facilitated the initial stakeholders discussion. KLMC also provided and shared with the stakeholders a detailed presentation on how the model works, benefits to the livesock farmers and the county government as well. This MoU has acted as a precursor for the development of the current livestock management sale yard bill which is expected to legitimize the model and give more decision making powers to the livestock marketing associations."One more public private partnership agreement is targeted for Turkana county. Tukana county is not part of the project coverage area but KLMC intends to leverage on the experience gained in engaging the Marsabit county government to initiate the same discussion in Turkana and other counties. "30-04-2019: > Ideally MOU was useful rulebook that recognized and operationalized the agreement between LMA and County on management of Markets prior to the sale yard act, Now the bill has been enacted into law and the Co-management is officially endorsed thus there is no need for signing MOU in Isiolo. > In Marsabit legislation for Marsabit livestock markets and trade bill is ongoing and once the bill is enacted into law, there is no need to sign the MOU to institutionalize Co-management since it is already captured in the bill.With legislation in place for livestock markets bills in place at the counties, it is no longer necessary to have or track MOUs26-04-2020: Ideally MOU was useful rulebook that recognized and operationalized the agreement between LMA and County on management of Markets prior to the sale yard act, Now the bill has been enacted into law and the Co-management is officially endorsed thus there is no need for signing MOU in Isiolo and Samburu. However in Marsabit the existing MOU between LMA and County was renewed following its expiry in September 2019.25-10-2020: Not applicableCSO will work with Isiolo and Marsabit Counties to pass the Draft Sales Yards Bills to legalise the co-management MoUs CSOs will advocate for sale yard bills to be passed in Marsabit and Isiolo counties 20-06-2018: Isiolo County sale yard bill has been enacted by Isiolo county assembly. With the support of KLMC, Isiolo county government has operationalised the Livestock Markets Management Bill which was approved and adopted by the county assembly. Specific legislations to inform and guide the stakeholders mandated with the implementation of the law have been formulated. This legislation clearly stipulates what livestock markets mangement entails, the role of the stakeholders, accountability mechanisms, as well as the framework to review the law. Training of the livestock marketing associations and the other stakeholders are on going.Building on lessons and experiences from the successful implementation of the Isiolo saleyard bill, KLMC will ensure that the salesyard bill for Marsabit, which is currently under discussion, will be enacted.30-04-2019: Isiolo sale yard regulation is currently under review following the amendments proposed by the CEC agriculture and livestock in May 2018, nonetheless amendments has been worked on by the County attorney and will be discussed in assembly for approval by 4th week of February 2019. > In Marsabit there is neither the bill nor the regulation that support Co-management has been approved.3 bills are expected to be passed (Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu) >The Marsabit sale yard bill is in its 1st reading and it is expected that it will be passed in 2019 >Isiolo sale yard act was withdrawn for review26-04-2020: Again no need to have by laws to enforce MOU because the sale yard act and its regulation will be sufficuent to giude implmentation of CO-management, however in Marsabit since the sale yard bill is still a draft, the exisitng by laws will support implementation of Mou on interim basis until when the act comes into force.25-10-2020: Not applicableEquity Bank, KCB, Takaful and APA Insurance Companies have insurance products for pastoralists. The four providers offer one product - focusing on forage capacities as the basis for indemnifying losses. The GoK intends to roll out the Kenya Livestock Insurance Programme (KLIP) under the support of World Bank. See also https://clippings.ilri.org/2015/08/10/klip-a-new-kenya-livestock-insurance-program-will-start-to-serve-pastoralists-across-northern-kenya-in-october/ 20-06-2018: The national Government has rolled out Kenya livestock insurance programme (KLIP) to 18,000 pastoralists. The livestock Insurance Program is a national government insurance scheme that is aimed at providing cover for the livestock that are mainly owned by the pastoral communities. This is therefore a program that is intended to cushion livestock owners against the adverse effects of the drough especially the loss of livestock to the drought. The Insurance program is based on the payment of affordable and subsidised premium rates by the farmers where animal feeds and fodder are provided during the dry spell. CEMIRIDE and KLMC organised stakeholders meetings to review the content of the program and agree with the national government on the implemenataion approach."The Movable Property Security Rights Act and regulations came into force mid 2017 which provide an avenue through which pastoralists cn use livestock as assets to secure financing for business and development enhancing their resilience. However, since enactment, it is not discernible if pastoralists have benefited or even that financial institutions have products developed for pastoralists using this law. CSOs will follow on this to realize benefits for pastoralists. Additionally, CSOs will continue to follow progress on KLIP, especially given that the government insurance scheme exists alongside a private sector lead initiative of Index Based Livestock Insurance (ILRI, TAKAFUL Insurance and APA insurance). There is also the private sector Index Based livestock Insurance (IBLI) being rolled out alongside the government one. The challenge however is that both could be working at cross purposes, and at the worst, the government scheme could be undermining the private sector one,since it is free. Further, both schemes are being implemneted with very different structures, meaning that they are causing confusion to the pastoralists and may not in the end achieve the intended purpose of enhancing resilience. There is therefore an urgent need to bring both implementors of the schemes to a round table to harmonise the structures for roll out which CSOs intend to facilitate. "30-04-2019: >There was development of a number of financial products targeting pastoralists. The four financial products: 1. CSA loan facility 2. KCB Mifugo product (that supports the pastoralists to access finance for income generation activities) 3. Takaful under KLIP 4. APA under KLIP >In the financial budget 2018/19 for Isiolo and Marsabit, 34M and 42 M respectively has been allocated for livestock insurance. This has been done in partnership with TakafulIncrease of the number of Markets under co-management in Samburu, Isiolo and Marsabit will increase financial services that target Pastoralism. >Samburu indicated to support additional 750 household over and above what KLIP is supporting, Marsabit will buy insurance cover for 500 each financial year and till they reach 2500 from Sacco >Oldonyiro CLMC is planning to form Sacco for its members so that they can access loans >CEMIRIDE plans to engage more financial actors, especially Faulu Bank, KCB and Choice Micro Finance and Insurance Sector to develop specific financial products for Pastoralists26-04-2020: >Effort to complement KLIP insurance by the county in the three Counties of Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu has been enhanced following incorporation of livestock insurance in the budget of 2018/2019 although information on implementation/ impacts of the program remains unclear; >In isiolo and Marsabit there is provision for business loans in the annual county budget for department of trade and cooperative development although the fund is not fully capitalized by community groups and enterprenuers due to lack of awareness. > In Oldonyiro LMA have formed SACCO which provides business loans to women and other members25-10-2020: No change in value other than ongoing initiatives by the county (KLIP and loans) and LMA's associatesNone of the markets have explit policy on shop ownership by women CSOs will advocate Livestock Management Authorities (LMAs) for such policy in Dabel and Merti markets 20-06-2018: Two markets have developed regulation for shop and kiosk use at the market. These regulations were established through stakeholders engagement and broader involvelemt of the livestock associations. What preceded the etsbalishment of the regulations is an assessment of the small enterprises that provide services at the market place. These enterprises were found out to be women groups, youth owned kiosks and other enterprises. the regulations therefore aim at providing a favourable legal environment where services can be provided, revenues collected and feedback generated. KLMC conducted the assessment and shared the findings with the county government and other stakeholders.6 livestock markets are expected to fully operate within established regulations. KLMC will engage Livestock Marketing Associations and the county based livestock council committee members on market regulations so that measures are put in place to support women enterprise.30-04-2019: No new markets have explicit policy on shop ownership by women However both in Isiolo and Marsabit LMA make local arrangement with women proprietors to rent market space/stall.With Increase in number of Markets under Co-management, market services and management including rental shops is presumed to be on rise. This should be possible to report in at least one market from each of the focus counties ( Kajiado, Samburu, Marsabit, Isiolo)26-04-2020: No specific regulations that are in place for affirmative Kiosk ownership by women. The regulations provide for a fair and vibrant market for all; even so, there is noted growing business activity by women in the market stalls/ kiosks.25-10-2020: quantifying this indicator is problematic because there is no policy or regulations in the three Counties that dictates/affirms ownership/renting of shops/kiosk/stall to be reserved for women. Even now the situation remains the same.The Programme based budget for the financial year ending 30th June 2015 provides KES 51988918514 (fifty-one billion nine hundred eighty-eight million nine hundred eighteen thousand five hundred fourteen) in estimates for the financial year 2016/17 for programmes promoting climate change resilience for pastoralists. The amount provides an estimate of the expected allocation (not actual) to three programmes; State department of devolution (Special initiatives), State Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Meteorological services and Water resource conservation and protection) and State Department of Livestock (Livestock resources management and development). modest projection in annual target based on increasing recognition of food safety and loss reduction and 2017/18 projections 20-06-2018: Due to national election in 2017, the budget cycle was expedited leaving very little room for CSO participation. It was difficult to access and interrogate allocation figures for 2017/18. Further CSOs need to distinguish programmes/ investments that will be best monitored to show climate change resilience for pastoralists. This will be done by June 2018CSOs will interrogate 2018/19 budget estimates to determine appropriate targets for 201930-04-2019: PACJA supported the development and review of climate change Fund regulations which will allocate 2% of the national budget to climate change response. The budget tracking tool to be developed by IFPRI in 2019 will help determine which other county and national programmes need to be tracked.PACJA will advocate for enhanced budgetary allocations for climate change through tracking of allocations to climate change as well as lobby for increased allocations at county and national level as well as keeping a focus on ASAL specific related policies and funding available at the national level26-04-2020: Climate finance tracking tool to be finalised, CSOs met various institutions to introduce the exercise and get their buy in. This institutions were National Drought Management Authority (NDMA), NETFUND and the National Treasury. In 2020 the organisations agreed to share data which will be analysed to inform percentage increase of budgetary allocation.25-10-2020: The climate change budget allocation and expenditure tracking tool was finalised, however Government state agencies did not readily share expenditure budgets to track increase/decrease, this has made tracking impossibleDevelopment Programmes Budget 2016/17 for Isiolo county indicates five hundred and twenty five million, five hundred thousand (KES 525,500,000) alllocated to 3 key ministries ( Energy, environment and natural resources, water and Irrigation and Livestock, veterinary and fisheries).

PACJA has also been engaged in review of the Climate change Fund regulations at the national level. The budget tracking tool to be developed by IFPRI in 2019 will help determine which other programmes across the 4 counties need to be tracked.will be achieved through lobbying for increased allocation of resources for climate change response in Isiolo and Marsabit counties by PACJA26-04-2020: The allocation to DOALF increased by 3.8% and 3.7% in Marsabit and Isiolo following the advocacy campaigns by KLMC however the changes in budgetary allocation to water and enironment sector in Marsabit was negligeable/static (8%) whereas there was decline of 2% in Isiolo. The decline in Isiolo is attributed to changes to budget structure whereby certain programs which were initially under water and environement were moved to DOALF and Special Programs. Isiolo> Department of Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries (DAOLF) recorded 9.8% of total budget for FY2018/2019 whereas water and environment recorded 6% against a target of 12% for the same period. Marsabit> Department of Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries (DAOLF) recorded 8.7% of total budget against baseline of 10% in FY2018/2019 wheres water and environemnt recorded 8% against baseline of 12%.25-10-2020: 2020/21 FY - budget allocation ceiling for agriculture was set at 10.3% Marsabit and 12.3% for Isiolo. However to address COVID-19, the amounts were reduced to 9.2% respectively for both counties.2016/17 national expenditure figures not yet available Based on 2016/17 expenditure issues and 2017-2018 budget projections 20-06-2018: Due to national election in 2017, the budget cycle was expedited leaving very little room for CSO participation.

The budget tracking tool to be developed by IFPRI in 2019 will help determine which specific programmes across the 4 counties need to be tracked for climate change resilience.PACJA will engage policy makers at the different levels of government to enhance the political will towards development of inclusive policies to enhance the resilience. PACJA will work collaboratively with IFPRI to track allocations to climate change actions at all levels of government26-04-2020: To be confirmed - We will have to wait till the government financial year 2020/2021 to track expenditure.25-10-2020: harmonised methodology for climate change tracking missing also, expenditure records are difficult to access2016/17 national expenditure figures not yet available Based on 2016/17 expenditure issues and 2017-2018 budget projections 20-06-2018: Due to national election in 2017, the budget cycle was expedited leaving very little room for CSO participation.

However, further analysis is neeeded to ascertain whether spending is just on paper or there is real impact on lives of service users.25-10-2020: challenges of delays in disbursement, lengthy procurement processes, rollovers and lapse in audit reporting make expenditure estimation difficult.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

The review was based on thematic themes of adaptation and mitigation. PACJA working closely with CEMIRIDE supported the review of the NCCAP 2018-2022 with a key focus on representation of marginalized communities including pastoralist communities. Among the key strategic objectives successfully advanced include: increase in uptake of livestock insurance for pastoralists and management of rangelands in ASAL counties. Both CEMIRIDE and PACJA organised a marginalised consultative workshop and inputs advised the second NCCAP anchored in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. NCCAP has now been implemented and is an action plan towards Kenya's NDC.

Since enactment in 2017, the instituions created by the act e.g. the National Council chaired by the President of Kenya has never had a meeting. The act is being implemented in piece meal. The concern being the National Council that is meant to drive the implementation of the act has never met due to litigation process instituted by CSOs to reject nominated CSO representative. CEMIRIDE presented a joint statement recommending for the amendment of the Climate Change Act 2016 and the Draft Climate Change Fund Regulations (2018) during the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Pre Session in Geneva.

There is also targeted mobilisation of women in water sector working with the local CSO networks. Departments are also more aware of and considering gender responsive budgeting. These are considerable gains for Marsabit county which is largely considered patriarchal. *Due to COVID interruption, policies expected to be finalised including regulations for operationalisation of Saleyard bill in Samburu and Marsabit Saleyard bill were affected. However discussion on these policies is picking up now.None adjusted based in recent reviews. The veterinary bill that proposes to scrap the role of support animal health care providers will adversely affect livestock farmers in difficult to reach areas. CSO plan to propose amendments the veterinary bill in order to recognize the important role of support animal healthcare providers 20-06-2018: ">The reviewed veterinary surgeon and the veterinary para-professionals bills was reviewed and comments provided but was not presented at flooor of the house in time before parliament closed . The Veterinary Surgeon and Veterinary Para-professionals Bill deters community based animal health workers from providing animal health services at the farm level. The Bill states that community based animal health workers can only provide vet services under the direct supervision of graduate vets who are in reality few in the dry lands counties compared to the livestock population. The networks that were developed through the V4CP support were used to rally support for the review of the current Bill. KLMC facilitated stakeholders meetings to review the contents of the previous Bill in order to generate recommendations for consideration by the national legislators. In 2017 a reviewed Bill was shared with Hon Ali Wario who is the member of parliament for Bura constituency in order for the Billto be tabled at the National Assembly.

Improving pastoralist economic resilience is important in the context of climate change. Trade in hides and skins provides additional income to pastoralists which can be used to access veterinary services, acquire fodder or improve herd composition in the face of climate change. >The veterinary surgeon and the veterinary para-professionals bill did not make it as 2018 parliamentary house business. Following 2017 elections and political issues and posturing that followed, it has been difficult to table the bill at the floor of the house and real have robust development debates.KLMC will continue lobbying review of 80 % tax levy on hides and skin. KLMC will share policy brief on the impact of 80 % tax on traders with intention to have this levy reviewed KLMC will lobby tabling of the the veterinary surgeon and the veterinary para-professionals bill for discussion in parliament26-04-2020: The policy brief on impact of 80% tax on export of raw hide and skin has been shared with Hasan Odha MP Isiolo North and Qalicha Gufu MP Moyale to raise the issue of plight of hides and skin traders on the floor of the house, KLDC, export promotion Council and MOALF. However, the suggestions in the brief are yet to be adopted or enforced.25-10-2020: KLMC continued lobby for opening up of hides and skin export but has not been successful. Also with COVID-19, trade (import and export) was restricted2 markets(Oldonyiro and Kipsing) in Isiolo are using co-management model while 4 Markets(Merille, Korr, illaut, torbi) are using in Marsabit. Resilience Team is targeting to improve the use of co-management model to 2 additional Markets in Isiolo and Marsabit. 2 markets(Oldonyiro and Kipsing) in Isiolo are using co-management model while 4 Markets(Merille, Korr, illaut, torbi) are using in Marsabit. Resilience Team is targeting to improve the use of co-management model to 2 additional Markets in Isiolo and Marsabit.20-06-2018: No new markets adopted the co-management model .The expected Bill for Marsabit county and the approved Bill for Isiolo county will see an increase in the number of markets expected to adopt the co-management model. 8 new markets are expected to adopt the model by mid 2018.The supportive bill (sale yard) exists now in Isiolo and the same is expected to be passed in Marsabit. 8 new markets are targeted for Isiolo and Marsabit counties by the end of the year . These markets include: Korr, Duse, Escort, Isiolo, Merille, Moyale, Jerime, Merti30-04-2019: Eskot and Isiolo market are now under co-management. Current cumulative status: In Isiolo 4 Markets out of possible 15 are under Co-management while in Marsabit 4 are under Co-management out of 13. The challenge was erosion of institutional memory following 2017 elections where new elected leaders did not understand the model hence were not able to make critical decisions/policies on co-management model (CMM).By end of year at least 1 additional market to be covered by Co-management in all 4 Counties ( Kajiado, Samburu, Isiolo and Marsabit)26-04-2020: No change on the number of markets that employs CMM in Iisiolo, Marabit and Samburu. The number was unchanged because there was no new markets that embrased the model. The counties are supportive of the core management model (CMM) but this will only be rolled out across all markets when the act/regulations are enforced.In Isiolo where the act/regulation has been approved and Samburu where the act/ regulation is to be approved, all the major markets will be under co-management when the regulation are enforced. KLMC will be doing advocacy/awareness to ensure that the regulation are enforced.25-10-2020: Isiolo - 0 Marsabit - 0 Samburu -0 With delay in laws supporting development of livestock markets under core-management model, no new markets have been opened so far in 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, engagement was much lower than before and policy progression was slowed especially where public participation was needed. The scoring rubric will be used a measuring methodAverage score from FGD conducted with traders, producers, LMAs and county government officials in Isiolo and Marsabit counties for Merti and Dabel markets respectively. With adoption of co-management model and passing of sale yard bills in Marsabit and Isiolo counties, functional livestock market management system are expected to be the immedaite result 20-06-2018: 0=TBC KLMC will within the first half of 2018 conduct a survey to determine progress on this indicator . This being a long term outcome, KLMC will review the status of service delivery for Dabel and Marti markets and document any success that might be generated. An end review or evaluation will be conducted by the end of the project.30-04-2019: Assessment will be carried out early 2019. However conversations with market stakeholders indicates: There is no improvement in services provided to producers at Dabel and Merti markets in Marsabit and Isiolo respectively. These Two markets are not under Co-management and it is in stark contrast to those under Co-management where there is better services interns of maintenance of market infrastructure, provision of veterinary services and creation enabling environment for trade. No change scenario is observed in the two assessed markets because sale yard act is yet to be passed in Marsabit and in Isiolo the act is yet to be fully operationalized owing to the ongoing amendments. Once the act is passed and it becomes fully operational, the service provision is presumed to improveWith increased lobbying from champions and close follow-up from KLMC to operationalize Co-management in all markets, it is expected that there would be near perfect characteristic in service delivery at markets26-04-2020: The result was for the Merti and Dabel livestock market which were identified as baseline for assements. Service delivery at livestock markets in Isiolo and Marsabit is still generally poor. On the scale of 1-5 the score of 2 was agreed upon KIE with CSO/department and focus group discussion by LMA and service users. Assesement was done using indictors such as; functionality of market management system( gate fee collection, water/ sanitation, shade/stalls); accessibility to the market; availability to market information services (price,early warning,diseases and conflict); avialibility of veterinary/extension services by governemnt/private at market place; availability of veterinary/extension services by government/prviate at community level. The average score by FGD (LMA/service users) was 1 for all the five set of indicators. The average score for through KIE( department and CSO) was 3 for all five set of indicators.25-10-2020: The COVID pandemic hindered local travels hence CSO was not able to verify the indicator. Markets largely remained shut.NL-KVK-41152786-1796-2SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationKenya-Renewable energyThrough the ‘Voice for Change Partnership’ (V4CP) programme, SNV works to strengthen civil society organisations (CSOs) in their role as advocates and lobbyists. We work together with IFPRI and over 50 CSOs to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and influence decision-makers with solid and contextualized evidence to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices. For this specific project in Kenya, our advocacy activities focus on Renewable Energy (RE), in particular clean cooking.We aim to increase the adoption of clean stoves and fuels in Kenya by addressing the gaps in the legal and policy framework through inclusion of clean cooking in national and county plans and budgets. To mainstream clean cooking in the existing extension network, guidelines on clean cooking promotion will be developed for use by the extension workers while advocating for increased budget allocation for implementation of clean cooking programmes.SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationNetherlands Development OrganisationNetherlands Development OrganisationAkvo Foundationkenya@snv.orgNgong Lane, off Ngong Road P.O.

Further, whilst some knowledge products are available due to efforts by various stakeholders e.g. GACC, SEI, GIZ and Energypedia the aim would be to develop products packaged appropriately with key messages for decision makers, development partners and the general republic in Kenya and also make them readily available online (through one stop shop portals) which is not the case for all of them These are Clean cooking related portals with evidence for advocacy such as Global Alliance of Clean Cookstoves website and Stockholm Environment Institute10-01-2018: Using a consultant supported by local enumerators, GROOTS Kenya conducted a community-led study on the health impacts of traditional and existing clean cooking technologies in the eight sub counties of Kitui County. Prior to the study, a launch had been done which brought together different Government, private sector and the civil society organisation stakeholders. The study relied on qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Detailed desk literature review was undertaken where various reports, policy documents and research papers published by the Government, non-governmental organizations, research institutions and individual researchers were analysed. Literature review provided insights on cooking practices in Kenya and households energy sources. Through a field study, primary data was collected from 455 households, 49 health Centres and facilities and 74 Improved Cooking Stoves traders sampled from the eight sub counties. A key finding of the study was that 80% of the people living in Kitui County use the traditional three - stone cook stoves which is unclean cooking technique. Households that did not use Improved Cook Stoves for everyday cooking manifested above average respiratory ailments with chest tightness and watery eyes being some of the most common symptoms of the ailments. The study report has been validated and is complete. The Organisation has packaged the report in a policy brief that, with the final study report are yet to be printed. The Civil Society Organisation have developed policy briefs on Gender and Institutional Cook stoves. Currently, the briefs are undergoing a quality review and will be uploaded to in the organization’s website afterwards. These briefs will be shared with different stakeholders in different forums and platforms.Clean Cook stoves Association of Kenya has developed policy briefs on Gender and Institutional Cook stoves. These briefs will be shared at the Council of Governors meeting in October 2017 and at the Clean Cook stoves Association of Kenya stand during the Agricultural Society of Kenya show from 2nd to 6th October 2017.">The final report of the study: Community Led Mapping On The Health Impact Of Unclean Cooking Technologies and The Suitable Clean Cooking Technologies In Kitui County is expected in 2018 >A study on Improved Biomass Stoves Regulatory Impact Assessment of Insitutions in Kenya is expected in 2018"30-04-2019: The evidence products by GROOTS Kenya are as follows; 1.

Indications are good that the standard will be approved this September. >A consultant for the study on the Market and Impact assessment for Voluntary standards and labeling contracted by SNV has had interviews with government and private sector. A focus group discussion with private sector on this engagement will be held this September. Related to this, a pilot on the biomass cookstoves voluntary labelling was undertaken by clean cooking alliance and the technical report for the pre-test is awaiting approval. A communication consultant is developing IEC material and visual label in collaboration with private sector, KEBS, KIPRA and EPRA.confidentialconfidential20-06-2018: Out of the 5 decision makers identified, only 1 (Deputy Director of Renewable Energy) has shown increased support as expressed in her demand for CSOs to be included in all working group meetings as important sector representatives. There are new office beares since the national elections held in 2017, increase in support will be possible to report after engagement in 2018. New Officers have not yet been rated but CSOs expect to do so in the first half of 2018 as Officers settle in and begin to play active role in their office.CSOs will continue close engagement with the identified offices, explain its agenda convincingly with evidence support and seek collaboration30-04-2019: >The policy maker rating will be done early 2019. It was not possible to assess support in the early phase of 2018 as coming from the elections there were new office bearers, only getting started and with little known about them. Their interest could only be confidently assessed after some period of engagement in the sector and this will be done in 2019. However, indications so far show a number of key stakeholders as having interest in clean cooking: >Support for clean cooking was observed in word and action during the RE conference in Diani by Dr. Mwaniki of NETFUND. In planning for the conference GROOTS lobbied for a gendered approach in the conference session structure and the award process. 2 Women enterpreneurs won in the clean cooking award. Following the engagement in Diani on RE conference, Kilifi county approached Groots Kenya for collaboration. This has been captured in the 2019 action plan and a context analysis will be done in Kilifi entry point being the CEC incharge of Energy and Environemnt. >NETFUND agreed to include CCAK and GROOTS Kenya in the RE sector working group; through RVO project CCAK co-partners with netfund on the RE conference while Groots mobilises its women champions to attend and engage in the discussions >Ministry of Health through Mr. Lolem Lokolile Bosco is showing increasing support for clean cooking: Household Air Pollution control prioritized as a key preventive measure for consideration during the consultative workshop to develop strategic framework for Primary Health care held between 5th - 9th November, 2018 in Nokras Riverine, Sagana. Manuals on CHV will be updtaed in 2019.CCAK and GROOTS will monitor support from the following for clean cooking: >NETFUND Ag. CEO- Samson Toniok >Directorate of RE- Dan Kithinji, MoH department of preventive and promotive health- Dr. Lolem Lokolile >KEBS standard directorate- Mr. Lukorito, KIRDI lab testing and protocols- Nathan Bogonko and Mr. Makoha >Other committees include: Parliamentary committee on energy; Chairperson Hon.

Seneta Mary Yiane26-04-2020: The strategies employed to reach out to policy makers included boardroom lobbying and co convening of technical working groups/meetings etc. e.g. CCAK was able to engage KEBS through the working groups that bring together its members to discuss sector issues (policy/standards). CCAK analysis of 2019 engagements confirms increased support from 3 key decision makers: 1. Directorate of RE- Dan Kithinji; In 2019, CCAK engaged positively with Dan Kithinji of Ministry of Energy who provided support in houeshold cooking sector study report development; interministerial committee meeting convening, coordination & chairing, fiscal incentives development and follow up (Ministry did a letter of support to the National Treasury). Mr. Kithinji was instrumental to the launch of the Sector Study (joint effort between Ministry & CCAK) in November 2019, by the Minister for Energy resulting in increased partnerships and media mentions for CCAK. 2. MoH department of preventive and promotive health- Dr. Lolem Lokolile - the engagement with Mr. Lokolile has been positive, resulting in the development of the Household Air Pollution (Non communicable diseases) curricullum and manual; and in CCAK nomination to the planning committee for the First Climate Change, Health and Energy conference. Furthermore, CCAK staff were incorpotated as ToTs for the UHC pilot for this particular curriculum. 3. KEBS standards directorate- Mr. Lukorito - CCAK engaged positively with Mr. Lukorito, with KEBS fully involved in the development of standards for carbonised briquettes and charcoal. Through the engagement, KEBS also picked CCAK to be in the Technical Committee for cookstoves standards. The review of the biomass cookstoves standards also benefitted from this relationship. 4. CCAK engaged NETFUND although the engagement was not at CEO level (Mr. Samson Toniok) but at Heads of Department level. HoDs engaged included Dr. Mwan ...21-10-2020: 1. Directorate of RE- Dan Kithinji, - Increased support noted. During Renewable Energy Day, he spoke strongly for clean cooking. Also during lobby efforts reversal of VAT amendment bill proposed, he and others supported memo to parliament. The department has also supported Energy resource centres at county level and sought support from development partners to capacity build energy officials at the county 2. MoH department of preventive and promotive health- Dr. Lolem Lokolile Increased. Initiative on HAP manual progressing well. The document is used as substantive training kit for CHV. Due to their commitment more partners e.g. University of Liverpool and GIZ have joined agenda to address HAP 3. KEBS standard directorate- Ms. Betty and Mary have shown increased support. They have been key in fastracking process on the carbonised briquettes standard 4.KIRDI lab testing and protocols- Nathan Bogonko and Eng. Erastus Gatebe - increased support. Have given clear direction on what is needed for the sector including Voluntary labeling for biomass cookstoves. They have also given support to the consultant on the S&L study, readily providing data compared to before 5. Kepsa energy sub-committee; Eng. James N. Mwangi - Increased support noted.

Lobbied for review of VAT on clean cook stoves.confidentialconfidential20-06-2018: office bearer are different after the election in 2017 hence we are starting from scratch in rating support for clean cooking. The new office bearers are yet to be rated.Target 5 leaders i.e the Governer, CEC environment/ Energy, CEC Health, Majority party leader and Directors in the three department that are now in office30-04-2019: The policy maker rating will be done early 2019. It was not possible to assess support in the early phase of 2018 as coming from the elections there were new office bearers, only getting started and with little known about them. Their interest in clean cooking could only be confidently assessed after a period of engagement in the sector and this will be done in 2019. However, indications so far show a number of key stakeholders having interest in clean cooking: The two Ministers of Environment from Kitui and Kiambu and the renewable Energy Lead at the ministry of energy at the national level have been on the forefront in supporting the clean cooking agenda. They allocated budgets to clean cooking initiatives. In Kiambu they allocated budget to develop the energy plan. In Kitui county they allocated budgets to clean cooking projects. In Kiambu, Department of Energy and natural resources through the County Executive Committee Member(CECM) office; >>On 28th November 2018, The County government of Kiambu facilitated the first stakeholders meeting towards development of the Kiambu County Climate Change and Energy Policy >>On 28th of November 2018, The County Government of Kiambu-Ministry of Environment, Energy and Natural Resources accepted to include one of the Community Clean Cooking Champions as part of the Technical Committee members to develop the energy and climate change policy.

Mr. Kuria especially at the county assembly to ensure that the master plans and the policies being developed are passed. >GROOTS will work with Kilifi county- Dr.James Kapanya Nguzo to ensure that they institute policies that support the clean cooking agenda.26-04-2020: GROOTS analysis of 2019 engagements confirms increased support from 3 key decision makers: 1. Kiambu climate change and energy Director Esther Kaguima - her support has increased. She was earger to learn about clean cooking After interacting with GROOTS and exposure to Kitui and Kwale county she started on high note and has supported the climate change policy. Her office convenes the Technical committtee meetings on the policy 2. Kiambu, CEC Water Environment,Energy & Natural Resources Mr. David Kuria - His support has increased since 2019. He has been very vocal on clean cooking. In community meetings he speaks about the clean cooking technologies and biogas. He selected GROOTS to seat in the environment committee. 3. Kilifi, Chief Officer Dr. Nguzo Kapanya - He has been supportive, was involved in contracting cosultant and in validation meeting for context anlysis for Kilifi In addition, GROOTS has noted inceased support from the following key officers: >Energy Officer Kitui, Rachel Mwangagi - She proudly and openly says that she heard about clean cooking and became passionate from interacting with GROOTS work. It was through her efforts that Kamanyi Primary school in Kawongo location, Kitui rural, Kitui County was supported with an improved cook stove. She always works with the clean cooking champions >Kilifi energy officer Mr. Baya - He is the only officer in his department. He rallies champions to support clean cooking and in his social media he talks about clean cooking and available technologies. He mobilizes his seniors and community leaders to attend meetings to discuss clean cooking. He only spoke about solar and grid energy before.21-10-2020: >Kilifi draft Energy Policy was validated. GROOTS is supporting efforts to engender the energy bill. Directors in Kilifi county are more vocal on issues of clean cooking. >Kiambu CEC Energy was changed this year, despite this change the office has remained supportive and draft climate change policy has now been presented to the county >Challenges were experienced in Kitui this year due to staff changes. Energy Officer Kitui, Rachel Mwangangi continues embrace GROOTS champions as advocates of clean cooking. The champions are involved in the development of the annual development plan. > MOU signing has taken longer than expected in Kakamega and Kisumu counties. Even so the lead officers show keen interest on clean cooking by involving their legal offices for finalisation on the MoUs. In Kakamega the MoU had been submitted to legal team but was delayed due to change of Key Officer (CEC, Water Environment and Natural Resources).The data is from the Ministry of Energy Budget estimates for the year 2016/2017. Relevant clean cooking data is only biogas and energy efficient charcoal kilns developmentThis includes Biogas, biomass cooking and clean cook stoves initiatives.20-06-2018: Due to national election in 2017, the budget cycle was expedited leaving very little room for CSO participation. It was difficult to access and interrogate allocation figures for 2017/18. The government programme based budgets begins in the preceeding year taking over 8 months hence the budgetting face for 2016/2017 had been accomplished earlier 2016.CSOs will interogate 2018/19 budget estimates to determine appropriate targets30-04-2019: No increase in budget allocation to clean cooking. In fact, no budgets were set aside for the sector. This is because the sector is overshadowed by the electrical and petroleum sectors. Budget analysis of national government financial year 2017/2018 estimates showed no increase in allocationsCCAK will track budget allocation on clean cooking sector for FY2019/2020. Budget estimates are expected to be released within the first half of 2019. A modest increase is projected for clean cooking based resources required to implement fuel and labelling standards26-04-2020: Without budget codes and a tracking criteria, it is difficult to estimate the exact increase/ decrease to clean cooking. However, CCAK tracked the finance bill and budget 2019/2020 for clean cooking sector. In line with fiscal incentive proposal submitted to the National Treasury, and with support from Ministry of Energy the following wins were realised: 1. VAT zero rating on ethanol fuel. 2. Import duty reduction for biomass cookstoves from 35% to 25%. 3. Increased excise duty on kerosene to discourage its use for cooking. This marks an increase in the annual budget for clean cooking which we may not be able to quantify at the moment.22-10-2020: In 2019/2020 financial year, government allocates 15.8Billion* shillings to clean cooking sector (Industry development, Capacity building and purchase of related products) representing a 13% increase from 2018/2019 allocations. *CCAK budget tracking analysis 2020. | 22-10-2020: In 2019/2020 financial year, government allocates 15.8Billion* shillings to clean cooking sector (Industry development, Capacity building and purchase of related products) representing a 13% increase from 2012/2019 allocations.There is no specific budget for clean cooking initiatives by governmentThis target includes budgets from county government only to support actions towards clean cooking 20-06-2018: There was no budget allocation for clean cooking.Clean cooking had not been identified as a key priority area in the CIDP and consequently there was no budgetary allocation in annual allocations.CIDP and the annual budgets will be in operation by the end of 2018. Although there are commitments to allocate budget for clean cooking this will only be verified once the finance bill for 2018/2019 is finalized in the first quota of 2018 and a comparison of the allocation done30-04-2019: In the 2018/19 budget Kitui allocated 110 million shillings to clean cooking .Kiambu also allocated Ksh.1million towards development of the energy policy in their 2018/19 budget. 2018/19 forms the baseline because of elections in 2017.GROOTS will work to see more allocation in the 2019/2020 budgets in Kitui county. A modest budget increase is projected towards clean cooking in Kitui county based on previous allocation26-04-2020: Without budget codes and a tracking criteria, it is difficult to state the exact increase/ decrease in allocation to clean cooking. Also, financial budgets for Kitui County are not publicly available online but GROOTS consulted Rachel (Energy Officer) who indicated that there was more allocation to clean cooking activities in Kitui county in the financial Year 2019/2020 inluding activities towards: Establishment of County Energy master plan, Establishment of wood fuel woodlots across the county, Promotion of briquettes technology and training of communities on briquettes making technology were budgeted for Kshs. 3,676,523 and implemented.22-10-2020: Kakamega and Kisumu counties allocate 126M to clean cooking (122 by Kakamega and 4 million by Kisumu Counties).

This will be done in 2019CCAK will in the first half of 2019 pursue access to expenditure figures for FY 2018/2019 to be able to project possible expenditure26-04-2020: Without budget codes and a tracking criteria, it is difficult to estimate the exact increase to clean cooking. While CCAK was to pursue access to expenditure figures for FY 2018/2019 to be able to project possible expenditure, we were unable to access this figures due to beauraucracy at the national treasury.22-10-2020: Difficulty in accessing audited account reportsThe data on expenditure is yet to be collected, this will be established after the closure of 2016/17 financial year The data on expenditure is yet to be collected, this will be established after the closure of 2016/17 financial year. Analysis will determine if there have been an Increase by 50% of annual expenditure for clean cooking at the county level20-06-2018: There was no expenditure for clean cooking at the county.Clean cooking had not been identified as a key priority area in the CIDP and consequently there was neither an allocation nor a expenditure incurredFrom the allocation given in the CIDP and annual budgets, GROOTS Kenya will be able to evaluate the expenditures.30-04-2019: Although Kitui spent some money on clean cooking projects, we have not been able to quantify the costs. This is because the expenditure reports are not readily shared.GROOTS will pursue access to expenditure figures for FY 2018/201926-04-2020: Without budget codes and a tracking criteria, it is difficult to estimate the exact increase to clean cooking. However, a general review of clean cooking related programmes in the FY 2018/2019, Kitui County had budgeted Kshs 1.2 Million for materials woodlots. This was expended 100% and clean cooking champions benefitted from trees for woodlots in their areas. In addtion, the county set aside KSHS 1.8 million for promotion of modern technology productions of kilns & briquette technology on charcoal hot spot.(source Kitui county website)22-10-2020: Difficulty in accessing audited account reportsWe use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

The government introduced a new fiscal incentive on duty remission -100% for local stove manufacturers while negating on the import duty gains by increasing it to 35%. Moving forward, the partners will be seeking redress on remission rebate formula and mechanisms for the rebate.CCAK will support Development fiscal incentives on clean cooking sector and double taxation policy regime for briquettes and pellets. Of importance will be the lobbying to counties against double taxation of briquettes and pellet manufacturers. The Government collects VAT while counties levies.26-04-2020: CCAK lobbied Kisumu and Kakamega counties to abolish the tax on briquettes and pellets which amounts to double taxation. Lobbying will continue in 2020 with the CSO signing agreement with county for joint partnership and one of the expected outcomes is fiscal incentives for briquettes sector in the counties.21-10-2020: CCAK lobbied at national level on briquettes and pellets but unsuccessful due to lack of standards. For counties (Kakamega and Kisumu), this process has further been slowed with delay in MOU signing. CCAK has however created awareness on climate change solutions which are expected to influence the counties in favour of reduced taxation.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

Moving forward, the partners will be seeking redress on remission rebate formula and mechanisms for the rebate.CCAK will support Development fiscal incentives on clean cooking fuels and taxation policy regime.(Import Duty waiver, duty remission practicability and formula, VAT exemption on pellets and briquettes). CCAK will lead on pushing for fiscal incentives and standards for briquettes. This will be achieved through meeting with the Ministry of Energy and Treasury to push for fiscal incentives. CCAK will convene the various sub committees to discuss pertinent issues on the standards (Briquettes and pellets) leading to development of the standards. KEBS will be engaged/lobbied to form technical team to draft the new standards and later CCAK will actively participate in review and later adoption of the standards.26-04-2020: 1. CCAK tracked the finance bill and budget 2019/2020 for clean cooking sector. In line with fiscal incentive proposal submitted to the National Treasury, and with support from Ministry of Energy, the following proposals were effected in the budget 2019/2020: a). VAT zero rating on ethanol fuel. b). Import duty reduction for biomass cookstoves from 35% to 25%. c). Increased excise duty on kerosene to discourage its use for cooking. 2. CCAK convened a KEBS technical committee meeting on 24th September, 2019. The KEBS TC approved the official standards development process, taking ownership of the standard development process supported by the stakeholders. The Standards are still in development.21-10-2020: Achieved import duty retention at 25% for complete cookstoves (EAC team wanted to increase to 35%) and 10% for components. CCAK had meeting with EAC team (wanted to increase to 35%) Once standards for briquette and pellets are in place, it might be possible to make a successful lobby for further reduction. On the downside, CCAK was not able to lobby against reintroduction of VAT on clean cooking, however the government reduced the VAT from 16% to 14% due to COVID-19 pandemic.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method.

There was no legal frameworks to spur growth of the bioenergy in Kenya. However moving forward in 2019, the energy bill of 2017 clearly provides directives on the growth of the bioenergy sector in Kenya by promoting and developing it.The bioenergy strategy process is moving slowly. It might not be useful to track this process anymore as the National Government has instead asked CCAK to lead in the hosting of data and country action towards attainment of SE4ALL.

As a commitment to including clean cooking there were joint activities planned together.e.g The Rwandan visit to the briqette production lineInclusion of clean cooking in the CIDP and a budgetary allocation to clean cooking30-04-2019: The 2018-2022 Kitui CIDP now includes projects on clean cooking. It is as a result of numerous meetings held by community clean cooking champions in every sub-county during which they prioritized clean cooking in public participation.GROOTS will monitor implementation of CIDP through the annual development plan.26-04-2020: GROOTS Kenya continued to monitor the implementation of CIDP through the annual development plan. Clean cooking has gained a lot of support since it was included in the CIDP. As a result of this participation there is allocation to clean cooking activities21-10-2020: Kitui clean cooking champions make submissions to the Annual Development Plans (ADPSs) that are 1 year plans to ensure implementation of CIDPs. For the year 2021/22, women champions shared their inputs with the County Government of Kitui to ensure continued allocation to clean cooking sector though this was on short notice limiting a wider stakeholder engagement. Submissions were done online. Participation in Kiambu and Kilifi ADP process was not possible due to short notice to women champions to submit memorandum on the budget.From the EnDev RBF project for higher tier stoves, few products are truly clean in the Kenyan market in terms of emmisions - these are basically LPG and ethanol stoves. CSOs envisage that by working with KEBS to develop standards including emissions and engaging private sector on the importance of adhering to standards and testing their products to prove their performance, there will be an increase in quality products offered by private sector. The testing of 13 stoves under the RBF project revealed that out of the 13, only one achieved performance of of Tier 2 in IWA parameters At least 3 manufactuers produce stoves that meet IWA Tier 2 and upwards 20-06-2018: 0= TBD SNV to check reporting on this indicator from RBF projectSNV to check reporting on this indicator from RBF project30-04-2019: RBF data will be captured in 2019, in 2018 this was not done due to instituional memory loss following exit of the sector leader at SNV who was tracking the data. However the new advisor and energy colleagues will collate the data for reporting in the future. RVO sector study will provide the data in 2019. CCAK will also be working in coalition with Clean Cooking Alliance to track this.CCAK will be sharing the tool to collect data in increase in stoves manufactured in 2019 by June with no baseline data.

CSO is waiting for ISO process from which it will particpate and collaborate with kenya Bureau of standard (KEBS) in customizing a Kenya testing protocol for clean cook stoves. Currently,the methodologies used are on the Gllobal Alliance for Clean Cookstoves website and they are WBT 4.2.3 and WBT 4.2.2 (Charcoal Test protocol). "CSOs hope that ISO guidelines will be ready for customizing in 201830-04-2019: ISO published the first international standard for laboratory testing of cookstoves. This was developed and approved by international experts from 45 countries, the new standard includes protocols to test and report the emissions, efficiency, safety and durability of cookstoves in a lab setting.

The harmonised testing protocol has been received and disseminated through a training of KIRDI staff and CCAK members by KENAS through CCAK facilitation. The training is a process towards the accreditation of the KIRDI testing centre. Kenyan testing centres eventually will have to comply with the newly harmonised ISO testing protocols, this will level the standards of the cookstoves in the Kenyan market.CSOs will particpate in the KEBS technical committee to customize ISO international standard for laboratory testing of cookstoves. CCAK will loby for harmonisation and domestication of lab testing protocol including the Water boiling test , Biomass Stove Safety Protocol, Controlled Cooking Test, Durability Test, and Kitchen Performance Test which were published in 2018 by the TC 285.26-04-2020: In July 2019, KIRDI adopted the ISO KS ISO 19867-1:2018 lab protocols which are currenty in use CCAK was instrumental in development and adoption of KS ISO 19867-1:2018 for biomass cookstoves whose standard was approved and adopted in July 2019.21-10-2020: KIRDI only one that has capacity to implement the Laboratory Test Protocols ISO 19867-1:2018 in Kenya (now KS ISO 19867-1:2018). It is voluntary but recommended by KIRDI.

Ethanol stove standard where draft is ready 3. Ethanol handling standard and ethanol fuel standards which are in first drafting stage. 2 Cook stove standards were developed during 2017Specifically following on the biomass standard, CCAK will continue to advocate its adoption30-04-2019: Biomass cookstoves standards and ethanol fueled appliances approved and implemented in June 2018. | 30-04-2019: Biomass cookstoves standards and ethanol fueled appliances approved and implemented in June 2018. | 30-04-2019: Biomass cookstoves standards and ethanol fueled appliances approved and implemented in June 2018.Biomass cookstoves standards approved in 2018 will be reviewed in 2019 following recommendations by the sector. This will allow for review of various technical issues raised by the members that would stifle the growth of the sector. Highlight of the issues included; efficiency performance should be defined in terms of tiers, in addition to the percentages, review of emissions i.e. -Most technologies could not meet PM 2.5 (5mg/MJ) and CO emissions (18.3g/MJ) and on ceramic lining, new innovative technologies not incorporated for lining in the clause needed to be captured26-04-2020: Biomass cookstoves standards were reviewed and approved in July 2019 and are in force following sector deliberations and justification for PM2.5 and CO emission parameters. CCAK provided key sector input and participation. The standards have so far been diseminated to the sector members and enforced by KEBS.21-10-2020: KEBS called on CCAK members to review the Biomass cookstove standard and later opened for public review.

Even as this is ongoing, GROOTS Kenya have influenced Kitui Community Health workers to begin reporting on unclean cooking health related issues. This process is independent of the national process of developing the manuals and curricula. In November 2018, GROOTS Kenya facilitated a meeting with community health volunteers from the 8 sub-counties. After understanding the relationship between clean cooking and health, they agreed to begin reporting on clean cooking related heath issues. This report will help to ensure that the ministry Integrated clean cooking in the CHVs training modules .CCAK plans to finalise review, approval and validation of the Curriculum and Manuals for Community Health Workers and Volunteers to include household air pollution. GROOTS will work with CCAK at national level and ministry of health at county level to integrate clean cooking into Community Health Workers (CHWs guidelines).

Planning for generation of knowledge products/policy briefs is on-going and planned for 2017. See Evidence Generation Proposal In 2017, two knowledge products will be available to the CSO and county stakeholders: Report on Budgetary allocations on sanitation and levels of access to improved sanitation at the county and national level (incl. effects of poor sanitation) (period 1); Budget guides and smart packaging of national and county budget analysis (period 2) 10-01-2018: Terms of Reference have been drafted for a study into the health, nutritional, social, cultural, economic, political and environmental effects of poor sanitation through levels of access to improved sanitation in the counties of Homa Bay, Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Kilifi in Kenya. The study is expected to complete in September 2017. Terms of Reference were also developed for sanitation budget analysis for the same counties. Institute of Economic Affairs has collected data for the four counties which is being analysed. The terms of reference for budget analysis will be broadened to include all 47 counties in Kenya or include other countries for a cross-country analysis at a later stage. Hoping to have completed the study on sanitation and levels of access to improved sanitation at the county and national level (incl. effects of poor sanitation) by 30th June, period 2 which will end on 31st December 2017 will hope to prepare a report on Budgetary allocations and Budget guides and smart packaging of national and county budget analysis. 25-11-2018: Terms of Reference were drafted for a study into the health, nutritional, social, cultural, economic, political and environmental effects of poor sanitation through levels of access to improved sanitation in the counties of Homa Bay, Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Kilifi in Kenya. However,due to delay in selecting an able consulting research organisation to carry out the study,the research work will start in early 2018 with completion expected in the first quarter of 2018. Terms of Reference were also developed for sanitation budget analysis for the same counties. Institute of Economic Affairs has collected data for the four counties which is being analysed. The planned ToR activities are expected to be updated and finalised in the third quarter of 2018. In the first half of the year IEA conducted situational analysis of water and sanitation. Other areas of the study included the opportunity cost associated with lack of investment in sanitation. During the study, officers from the Ministry of Water were part of the Key Informants who shared information on the challenges facing the WASH sector and the need to increase investment towards Sanitation. In the second half of the year IEA prepared a budget toolkit which was used to train the CSOs and CPHOs on budget tracking and analysis.From the Sanitation Study we expect reports (3) for each of the three counties with a detailed description and data representation of the effects of poor sanitation and its implications as well as compilation of all raw data obtained; Three case studies of other counties (3) which highlight lessons learnt related to sanitation; Advocacy ready products including case studies/fact sheets, SFDs, and/or poster materials (3); This will be followed by a stakeholder meeting during which the research study, policy briefs and advocacy products are presented. For the second half of the year, from the IEA budget analysis, IEA expects county advocacy packages including budget guides, an infographic and poster.30-04-2019: The study into poor effects of sanitation in Kenya was conducted and finalised which included the compilation of all raw data obtained. This resulted in a synthesis report and three county reports; Advocacy ready products for each of the counties including Posters, SFDs, F-diagrams,GIS booklets and water testing guidelines (3). Three case studies of three counties which highlight lessons learnt related to sanitation (3). For each county we also generated Powerpoint presentations. Validation meetings and dissemination of the intial products was done in the first and the second quarter to ensure ownership by the county officials and stakeholders. This was followed by a stakeholder meeting during which the research study, policy briefs and advocacy products were presented. All final products were dissimated to the counties in the third quarter and the SFD reports in the fourth quarter. Dissemination was also done at the WEDC Conference to a nationa land international audiencce. For the second half of the year, IEA developed alternative budget memo's for each of the counties (3) while drafts have been prepared for a budget analysis report and budget guide/poster as well as socail audit report for three counties we are working withDevelopment of case studies on private sector and social inclusion with respect to sanitation (2) will be conducted in the year 2019 through hiring of consultant working closely with IEA staff (specific topics to be confirmed). IEA will update statistics on sanitation allocation in the budget analysis report and budget guide (2) for both the national and the county government as well as the production of the national alternative budget shared with Treasury (1) and county based budget memos for the three counties (3) which will be shared with MCAs from the budget and appropriation committe and health in a roundtable meeting in the year 2019. IEA will also come up with a social audit reports after county level CSOs conduct Social Audits on Sanitation programs at the county level (3)26-04-2020: IEA supported local CSO networks to identify cases in need of advocacy in each of the counties. With support of a communication consultant this resulted in six facsheets (2 per county) for the identified cases which have been used by CSOs to advocate for the envisaged change in the month of November 2019 round-table meeting and informal follow-ups. Besides these evidence products, IEA also produced the national level alternative citizens' budget (1); county-level Alternative Budget Memos (3); social audit reports (3) and a sanitation budget brief as a result of the budget analysis (1).25-10-2020: IEA supported local CSO networks to identify cases in need of advocacy in each of the counties.

CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorCSO has had no interaction with the national level ministries yet In 2017, CSO will engage with ministry officials during round table meetings and TWGs/ICC. CSO will share budget memo's and other knowledge products. Focus will be creation of a budget code for sanitation and clear instruction and delegation (incl. funds) to the county level 10-01-2018: As expected the CSO has only occasional interaction with key government stakeholders. Through regular technical working groups and other interactions, these interactions are planned to be regular towards the end of 2017.Institute of Economic Affairs will engage with ministry officials during round table meetings and Technical Working Groups25-11-2018: The CSO has had occasional interaction with key government stakeholders. A key engagement was during the V4CP Launch where the Ministry of Public Health was well presented and engaged with IEA staff on budget code issues. More formal and informal encounters will be required to influence policy and decision making on sanitation at the national level. These interactions are expected to become more regular in 2018 through public hearings, regular technical working groups and the ICC Forums.IEA will organise a meeting with ministry officials to discuss institutional fragmentation and role overlap among the 3 sanitation related ministries. This will be done through a roundtabl to discuss the need for better coordination towards improved service provision in sanitation. IEA use evidence to support its advocacy agenda. IEA will focus on encouragement of information shared and expect that it will require time for this to happen at a satisfactory level.08-10-2018: IEA has only had occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government at the stakeholders in sanitation conference in Nairobi and during the learning event organised by the Sanitation Technical Working Group at the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi. More formal and informal encounters will be planned to influence policy and decision making on sanitation at the national level. Interactions are expected to become more regular in the second half year 2018 through regular technical working groups and breakfast meetings. The national level sanitation meeting was a first good step towards national engagement and it was decided therefore that a meeting would be planned after the event, in the second half of the year.IEA is organising a roundtable meeting with a the ministry officials to discuss institutional fragmentation and role overlap among the 3 sanitation related ministries. The discussions will centre around better coordination towards improved service provision in sanitation.30-04-2019: The IEA held a roundtable meeting with three ministries to discuss role overlaps and institutional fragmentation and how this is impacting on access to improved sanitation on Thursday, December 6th, 2018 at the Panafric Hotel. The invited participants were from the National Treasury and the three sanitation sensitive Ministries of Health, Water and Sanitation and Environment and Natural Resources. The following are the key messages split between general and national level based on the sanitation budget analysis report that was shared with the participants: General level • Budget transparency and comprehensive budget information and code for sanitation. • More disaggregated information on sanitation but explicit sanitation budget codes to facilitate budget analysis and tracking. • Revise Chart of accounts for standardization in order to facilitate comparative analysis. This is critical to facilitate meaningful public participation as provided for in the Constitution. • Rural focused policy and budgetary interventions as well as addressing poverty since there is a positive correlation between poverty and poor sanitation National Level • Progressively scale up investment in sanitation to adhere to sanitation policy commitments towards realizing sanitation targets of ODF and improved sanitation access by 2030. • Increase utilization of sanitation related budgets for the Ministries of Water and Sanitation, the Ministry of Environment and Natural resources as well as the Ministry of Health. Poor utilization of funds is the major cause of low absorption rates. This meeting was preceded by information encounters and as a result of this meeting regular meetings were agreed upon for 2019.IEA is expected to organise 3 breakfast meetings at the national level to follow up on the breakfast meeting held in December 2018. It is expected that concrete action will be defined.08-10-2019: The IEA attended the Annual WASPA conference organised by the Ministry of Water and made a presenation on the state of play and investment in the sanitation sector advocating for the need to prioritize the sanitation sector by increasing budgetary allocations in the sector and creating budget codes for sanitation to enable tracking of investment in the sector.The IEA has been advocating for a creation of budget codes for sanitation to be created but this has not happened yet. However,there is a committee in place working towards the creation of sanitation chart of accounts and this is work in progressThe IEA plans to hold a national level sanitation stakeholders forum in the last quarter of 2019, with the Treasury, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Water and Sanitation as well as the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to share updated statistics on the investment and prioritisation of the sanitation sector. IEA has also joined forces with other National level CSOs i.e WASHFIN to push for increased investment in sanitation and creation of budget codes for sanitation.26-04-2020: >IEA has joined forces with other National level CSOs i.e WASHFIN to push for increased investment in sanitation and creation of budget codes for sanitation during the sanitation conference in 2019.

Through collecting views of civil society actors, IEA developed budget memo's for input in new CIDPs and budget documents.IEA will influence sanitation planning agenda by participating and providing verbal and written input in the formulation of county development plans for Elgeyo Marakwet,Kericho and Homabay Counties through budget guides and budget memo's as well as evidence based advocacy products.08-10-2018: So far, IEA has engaged a number of CSOs at the county level in the three counties mandated to ensure sanitation agenda is at the forefront of discussion. On this, IEA developed a data base of county based CSOs whom we shall work hand in hand with in ensuring that water and sanitation programme are given priority in the three counties. Success of any budget proposal on allocation to sanitation for the fiscal year 2018/19 at the county level will be reflected once the counties make approved estimates of expenditure, publicise and make the estimates readily available in the third quarter of the year.Sub county based CSOs with strong advocacy in sanitation will be tasked to share sub county based saitation issues in the Third quarter. IEA will then sythesize these submission from the sun county and prepare an alternative budget memo for engaging with the county executive and the budget and appropriation committee of the county assembly.30-04-2019: So far, IEA has engaged a number of CSOs at the county level mandated on ensuring the sanitation agenda is on the forefront of discussion.

Tracking of any budget proposals shared for the fiscal year 2018/19 at the county level will be reflected once the counties make approved estimated of expenditure publicise and make the estimates readily available. During the year a local CSO capacity building need in advocacy skills was identified. The IEA together with Centre for Population Health Research and Management (CPHRM) conducted a two day training on advocacy with CSOs in each of the counties. The advocacy training focused on the following key areas: • A walk through the county budget cycle; participants identified the different stages and the challenges CSOs face in engaging at each stage of the budget process. • Key concepts and best practices; advocacy as a communication skill o Advocacy 101 (the must know about Advocacy) o Understanding the advocacy process/ Advocacy as a process o Understanding the change process; Force field analysis • Identifying issues, audiences and key messages o Stakeholder analysis (opponents, allies and their influence) o Communicating your message This training has resulted in CSOs actively advocating for sanitation in relevant forums.IEA will organise several meetings in 2019 which will ensure the continued interaction and ability of CSOs to set the agenda. This will include social audit training and from their conducting the social audits and sharing these with decision makers, participating in public hearings, and other forums. IEA will also organise the yearly roundtable meetings with the county executives and CSOs on the need for inclusion of sanitation investment plans in planning and budgeting. With the knowledge products on the effects of poor sanitation and budget analysis shared with the county executive and CSOs, there is bound to be increased prioritization of sanitation.08-10-2019: The IEA continues to work closely with sanitation CSO networks formed in the counties of Homabay, Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet in advancing the sanitation agenda and advocating for better service delivery. CSOs in Kericho County are working with their local government and have been able to influence better sharing of budget information, unlike before, budget documents are now uploaded on the County Government website; in Homa Bay County CSOs have advanced advocacy on sanitation through media, a feature story in which they share effects poor sanitation in the County will be aired on local TV in the second half of the year; In Elgeyo Marakwet County, CSOs are collaborating with County Public Health Officer (CPHO) in conducting social audit of local sanitation projects. The IEA also continues the dissemination of the water testing results to influence the allocation of funds for water testing of the major water sources in the three counties and the allocation of funds for awareness creation on the need to increase latrine coverage in order to achieve ODF at the county level.IEA will organise several meetings in 2019 which will ensure the continued interaction and agenda setting of CSOs at the county level. This will include social audit training from which social audits will be conducted and translated into social audit reports.The reports will be shared with decision makers, participating in public hearings, and other stakeholders to increase prioritization of the sanitation sector. IEA will also organise the yearly roundtable meetings with the county executives and CSOs on the need for inclusion of sanitation investment plans in planning and budgeting. With the knowledge products on the effects of poor sanitation and budget analysis shared with the county executive and CSOs, increased prioritization of sanitation is anticipated.26-04-2020: Overall the level of influence is high in all the three counties (Kericho, Elgeyo Marakwet and Homa Bay). Together with local CSOs at the counties IEA organised validation meetings for the social audit report and held roundtable meetings with MCAs and senior officers (from the Department of Public Health and Budget and Planning Departments) where evidence was shared . In Elgeyo Marakwet the Sanitation bill has been taken up for debate by the committee on Health; In Homabay there is now allocation of resources for additional toilets in Shauri Yako slums highlighted in the social audit reports while in Kericho, the Dept. of Trade committed to repair toilets in public markets.25-10-2020: Overall the level of influence is high in all the three counties (Kericho, Elgeyo Marakwet and Homa Bay).

IEA increased stakeholder engagement in County Budget processes by involving more Sanitation experts and County government officials as well as the private sector in the WASH/Public Forums and Pre-budget hearing meetings. This activity was conducted the last week of November 2018 with Local based CSOs in the counties of Homa Bay, Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet focusing on the social audit of sanitation projects. Each of the counties developed a report on the social audit and shared the outcome of the audit with CSO and government representation of the other counties as well as CSO’s from Indonesia and Ghana who participated as part of the V4CP exchange visit in Kericho county on 5th December 2018. Government representatives presented the counties sanitation advocacy efforts and the increased participation with civil society actors in their counties. The interaction between CSOs and government officials has evolved over time to one of sharing and defining actions together. Another indicator of this is that the local CSOs interact with their decision makers beyond V4CP meetings.Develop a questionnaire to be used for county FGDs and consequently produce a report of the results after Conducting an assessment to gauge the degree of coordination between CSOs and the government at the two levels.

IEA collaborated with the county officials and local CSOs on the following; 1. The social audit process and the validation - changes are being seen as a result e.g. Department of Trade in Kericho county committed to allocate resources towards building toilets in Kericho public markets and in Homa Bay there is allocation of resources for additional toilets in Shauri Yako slums 2. The generation of budget memos - CSO advocacy during pre-budget hearings is yielding results e.g. Kericho County has made public, county annual budgets on its website. 3. Generation of case studies - helped in highlighting the sanitation issues that needed to be priotised by the county governments of Kericho, Elgeyo Marakwet and Homa Bay counties to improve access to sanitation. The case studies have been used to strenghten the social audit recomendations.25-10-2020: Overall, the collaboration between IEA, CSO networks and county government officials across the three counties ((Kericho, Elgeyo Marakwet and Homa Bay) has greatly improved.

Thereafter IEA consolidated the budget proposals into budget memo's which were shared with the members of the county assembly and Health Department in a round-table meeting in the month of September 2017. This is expected to be repeated in 2018. "IEA will prepare budget guides and budget memos for the three counties in consultation with local civil society actors and share this with government officers.

IEA focused on ensuring CSOs are provided with information on decisions, policies and budgets and that they will be increasingly consulted in the decision making processes and formulation of county documents. CSOs were also encouraged to monitor implementation of agreed plans and budgets. IEA also trained WASH CSOs from the 3 Counties to monitor implementation of sanitation budget and undertake social audits of sanitation projects which they did in the month of November. IEA together with CPHRM trained county based CSOs in the counties of Homabay, Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet Counties. This was to familiarise CSOs on the advocacy product developed for the study into poor effects of sanitation in Kenya and budgeting at the county level and in turn be able to package the study products for their advocacy efforts targeted to the county government officers.IEA will hold a follow up training workshop on how CSOs/WASH Forums can utilize various accountability mechanisms/tools to hold government officers to account on implementation of sanitation budget and on efficient utilization of sanitation funds for better service delivery. Through the training on Social Audits, the IEA together with CSOs in the counties will conduct a social audit on the Sanitation Projects and Programs to ensure accountability at the county level. This is in addition to input during public hearings.26-04-2020: IEA held training workshops for local CSOS on how utilize various accountability mechanisms/tools to hold government officers to account on implementation of sanitation budget. Together with IEA the local CSOs attended the MCA roundtable meetings where the alternative budget memos and social audit findings were presented and specific demands made by CSOs that have received resonse from government e.g. construction of toilets in Kericho market and repair of toilets in health facilities in Elgeyo Marakwet county. The decision made by the county government were more transparent after CSOs demand through public health department requesting the CSOs to participate during the public hearing and point out the economic and planning on issues of allocation and utilization in three counties.25-10-2020: IEA held training workshops for local CSOS on how utilize various accountability mechanisms/tools to hold government officers to account on implementation of sanitation budget.

For each individual policy or decision maker the score will be determined. For reporting purposes the scores of all policy or decision makers will be aggregated; then the average score (the total score / number of assessed policy or decision makers) on the indicator will be determined and reported on. Confidentialconfidential20-06-2018: 0= - At the national level, the key individuals to be rated have been changed after the results of the 2017 general elections. Therefore IEA will repeat the baseline rating exercise to establish the current and subsequently increase in support for new office bearers. This exercise has been planned for the first quarter of 2018.IEA will hold a public forum/roundtable meeting engaging on the need for improved coordination between the different ministries and increased priority for saniation. Out of the six key officers expected to be rated, it is intended that half will increase their support.30-04-2019: IEA held one National Sanitation stakeholder's meeting with representatives from the ministry of Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Environment and Natural resources as well as the national treasury. The representatives indicated that the various ministries have increased their interest and commitment to improve sanitation service delivery and creating sanitation budget codes for ease in budget tracking. The policy marker rating was however not done at the national level in 2018 but we can do a national level policy marker rating in 2019 if agreed. It was not done as we did not have a crucial group of people who were well informed enough to do the rating for key people identified (who did change as well). The stakeholders have not declared publicly their interest for sanitation.The IEA will ride on other activities under the project to share with government official on coordination of programmes on the sanitation sector. The IEA is intending to work with the PSs of the three ministries and the PS Treasury. It is expected that out of the 5 at least 4 will show increased support.26-04-2020: IEA convened a National Sanitation stakeholder's meeting with representatives from the ministry of Water ,Sanitation and Irrigation, Ministry of Environment and Natural resources . The representatives indicated that the various ministries are working together to ensure improved sanitation service delivery.Among the issues they are working towards is the creation of sanitation budget codes for ease in budget analysis. The policy marker rating was however not done at the national level in 2019 due to the continous cabinet shuffles and changes in office. However,we are basing the judgement on the commitments towards improved access to Sanitation by the Deputy President during the National Sanitation Conference held at the ICC as well as the Commitment by the CAS Ms Winnie Guchu to ensure increased investment to sanitation during the same forum.25-10-2020: IEA convened a National Sanitation stakeholder's meeting with representatives from the ministry of Water ,Sanitation and Irrigation, Ministry of Environment and Natural resources .

Confidentialconfidential20-06-2018: 0= - The rating of officers will be conducted in May 2018. During this time IEA will evaluate how many ratings can be compared to the baseline rating performed early 2017 for 28 positions. As at the national level, new officers have assumed office in key county positions and therefore a new baseline rating might need to be done in order to track these specific officer positions over the coming years. Some officers like the CPHO have remained stable and will be rated. The previous MCAs, CECs, CPHOs, Members of the Health Committee and Budget Officers for Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homabay Counties showed increased participation in Sanitation forums and increasingly associated themselves and advocate for increased prioritisation of investment in sanitation. Especially the CPHOs have continually provided us with information about any sanitation activities as well as sought support in the analysis of budget documents in order to get a better understanding of the budgetary allocations towards sanitation at the county level. The MCAs also expressed interest and participated in a training by IEA to take them through the budget analysis process. The Budget Directors also started providing budget information more easily to the public.IEA in partership with local stakeholders will focus on building realtionships with the current and new duty bearers at the county level. This will be done to include them in the forums and one-to-one engagements. We intend to rate the same 28 positions as during the baseline and expect that at least 10 of these will show an increased support.30-04-2019: There has been an increase in the number of policy/decision makers with increased support for sanitation from 15 in 2017 to 20 in 2018. There has been improved commitment and political will from the Governor, Director Water, MCAs, CECs, CPHOs, Members of the Health Committee and Directors Budget for Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homabay Counties who participated in Sanitation forums and promised to be advocates for increased prioritization of investment in sanitation in their respective counties. The increased support is from the fact that the county officials mentioned showed increased interest and participation in Sanitation forums and activities after introduction of the V4C project and their interaction with the IEA. This increased interest is from the need for information on Sanitation budgetary allocations which is useful for budget tracking. The CPHOs have continually provided us with information about any sanitation activities in Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay and Kericho counties. The MCAs also expressed interest and participated in a training by IEA to take them through the budget analysis process and attended other IEA forums they were invited to. The Budget Directors also continued in providing budget information more easily to the public which was not the case before their interaction with IEA through the V4C project. This information is based on the baseline for the policy marker rating conducted in the month of May 2018. The subsequent rating will be done in May 2019.IEA will hold roundtable meetings with County Officials and private engagements in public hearings to advocate for better partnership and improvement of resource allocation toward sanitation and adoption of investment plans in the three counties. Continued efforst are expected to result in further increased support at the county level. The policy maker ratings were conducted for 28 individuals and it is expected that, also because some individuals are already at a high score, at least 15 will show increased support.26-04-2020: IEA held the county MCA roundtable meetings with County Officials for Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay and Kericho counties to advocate for better partnership and improvement of resource allocation toward sanitation and adoption of investment plans in the three counties. The policy maker ratings were also conducted during this period for 28 individuals. In summary,we have seen increased support and influence from the policy makers.There has been improved commitment and political will from the Governor, Director Water, MCAs, CECs, CPHOs, Members of the Health Committee and Directors Budget for Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homabay Counties who participated in Sanitation forums and promised to be advocates for increased prioritization of investment in sanitation in their respective counties.

In 2018 increased efforts will be made to ensure all relevant ministries are invited and actively engaged in forums and activities.30-04-2019: Held public forums in Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homa Bay counties where CSOs and County Officials from the different ministries were all invited and were in attendance. We have seen an increase in participation and input from the different ministries during meetings. It is however realised that when ministries organise their own meetings, other ministries are sometimes invited and sometimes not invited. We look forward to seeing more invitations from one ministry to another when it comes to anything related to WASH issues.IEA will hold a Public forum meeting engaging on why ministries that deal with sanitation programmes should work together and have better inter-ministerial coordination as well as hold a roundtable meeting with representatives from the ministry to discuss the effect of poor inter ministerial coordination on sanitation service delivery. In all meetings where government officials are invited we will emphasise the request to invite representatives from all ministries and other key stakeholders like NEMA, the water and sanitation companies etc.26-04-2020: IEA held Public forums in Elgeyo Marakwet ,Homabay and Kericho counties and discussed the importance of the various departments to work together and have better inter-ministerial coordination and how this will improve sanitation service delivery and avoid the issue of role overlaps hence improving efficiency in the use of public resources.25-10-2020: IEA held Public forums in Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay and Kericho counties and discussed the importance of the various departments to work together and have better inter-ministerial coordination and how this will improve sanitation service delivery and avoid the issue of role overlaps hence improving efficiency in the use of public resources.Percentage is based on absolute increase in budget allocationThe African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) signed the eThekwini Declaration in 2008, promising to establish specific public sector budget allocations for sanitation and hygiene programmes . The countries pledged to create separate budget lines for sanitation and hygiene and to commit at least 0.5 percent of GDP to sanitation services. Kenya has allocated 0.2 percent of GDP to sanitation as compared to the global target of 0.9 percent and eThekwini Declaration commitment of at least 0.5 percent of GDP (now succeeded by the Ngor Declaration) Expected is that the national government will increase budget allocation towards sanitation. A budget code for sanitation would support increased allocation and therefore advocacy activities will be planned around this 20-06-2018: 0= - IEA has held pre-budget hearing meetings advocating for increased investment in sanitation and prepared proposals on allocations towards sanitation for input into the main budget both at the national and county government. However,due to the fact that the national and county budgets do not have budget codes, tracking allocations remains a challenge .IEA however will continue to engage stakeholders on the importance of having sanitation lines and budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. Before a budget code is in place, IEA will make an effort to collect any budget information available at the national and county level. Especially at the county level it is expected that different types and levels of budgets will allow the stakeholders to draw out information on the increase of budget allocation. A percentage increase in allocation, relative annual allocation, expenditure and relative annual expenditure is however a challenge to monitor yearly. It is therefore adviced this will be done over the V4CP Project period instead while for each year a qualitative analysis of budget documents will be shared to make progress on budgetary allocation visible.IEA will hold pre-budget hearing meetings and prepare proposals on allocations towards sanitation for input into the main budget both at the national and county government. This will include proposals for the need for introduction of budget codes for sanitation in order to track allocations towards the sector. Different types of budget documents will be collected and analysed to be able to report on budget allocation trends. This will result in a more qualitative based reporting on increased budget allocation and expenditure which can be used for planning purposes and inform advocacy activities.30-04-2019: IEA held annual pre budget forum in the month of February 2018. The budget proposals developed were then synthesized and shared with the County Treasury in form of a Citizen’s Alternative budget memorandum. However, due lack of budget codes, tracking allocations remains a challenge. IEA however will continue to write proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. This will lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the county sanitation expenditure.It is expected that the national government will increase budget allocation towards sanitation.

This will lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the county sanitation expenditure. IEA's county budget analysis report to be published in 2019 will also give more detail on which allocations for sanitation we have been able to isolate for each of the counties. Analysis of the CIDP will also given an indication of increase or decrease of budget for sanitation.26-04-2020: It is expected that the county governments will allocate resources toward sanitation as a share of the county budget after advocacy on the need to increase investment to the sanitation sector.However,there is still no budget code for sanitation in place.

The budget proposal were synthesized and shared with the national treasury for possible consideration in the national budget in the Month of February 2018. Some of the issues shared out included; – Low Budget allocation to Water and Sanitation. There is need for adequate budget allocation both in the National and County level. Past allocations have been low compared to other sectors and Sanitation do not have designated budget and if any the allocations are lumped in Health ministry. – Poor implementation of Water and Sanitation as a devolved function of the County Governments is not yet fully operationalized due to the confusion within the National Government institution functions i.e. Role of the Water Service Boards and completes transition from the Boards to Water Works. Limited human resource to implement in relation to workload and coverage. However, due to the fact that the national and county budgets do not have budget codes, tracking allocations remains a challenge.

This will result in a more qualitative based reporting on increased budget allocation and expenditure which can be used for planning purposes and inform advocacy activities.30-04-2019: IEA held County based pre-budget hearings on 13th to 17th August 2018 for the sub county based CSOs in all the three counties of Homa Bay, Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet. The budget proposals developed were then synthesized and shared with the County Treasury, County Assembly Health Committee and the department of Health for possible consideration in form of a Citizen’s Alternative budget memorandum. However, due to the fact that the national and county budgets do not have budget codes, tracking expenditure remains a challenge. IEA however will continue to write proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. This we are positive will lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the county sanitation expenditure .IEA will also analyse the allocation on sanitation in the year 2019It is expected that the county governments will allocate resources toward sanitation as a share of the county budget.There is a committee in place lobbying for sanitation to be given a code which will be essential in resource allocation as well as ease tracking of funds allocated and spent on sanitation26-04-2020: It is expected that the county governments will allocate resources toward sanitation as a share of the county budget.There is a committee in place lobbying for sanitation to be given a code which will be essential in resource allocation as well as ease tracking of funds allocated and spent on sanitation25-10-2020: It is expected that the county governments will allocate resources toward sanitation as a share of the county budget.

However,due to the fact that the national and county budgets do not have budget codes, tracking allocations remains a challenge .IEA however will continue to engage stakeholders on the importance of having sanitation lines and budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. Before a budget code is in place, IEA will make an effort to collect any budget information available at the national and county level. Especially at the county level it is expected that different types and levels of budgets will allow the stakeholders to draw out information on the increase of budget allocation. A percentage increase in allocation, relative annual allocation, expenditure and relative annual expenditure is however a challenge to monitor yearly. It is therefore adviced this will be done over the V4CP Project period instead while for each year a qualitative analysis of budget documents will be shared to make progress on budgetary allocation visible.IEA will hold pre-budget hearing meetings and prepare proposals on allocations towards sanitation for input into the main budget both at the national and county government.

Even if specific sanitation issues are identified, detailed and holistic strategies are often not included, interventions are likely to be project based (see analysis of CIDPs for more county detailed information) The subsequent CIDPs are expected to include strategies that are more detailed and adequate in addressing the identified sanitation issues 20-06-2018: Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homabay counties have adopted County Sanitation Investment Plans for the period of 2013-2017. The Sanitation Investment Plans are to guide investment in sanitation and indicate which areas need the most urgent attention in the sanitation sector. IEA did a CIDP analysis which saw that sanitation related issues included were foccused on waste management/dump sites; sewer systems as well as latrine coverage at the household level as well as public toilets. An overage of 3 issues was included in the plans. During the second half of 2017 the counties started preparing the CIDPs for 2018-2022. The budget memos and related round-table meetings and engagements were an input to this. It is expected that in the first quarter of 2018 the new CIDPs will be approved by the respective county assemblies.IEA will analyse the 2018-2022 CIDPs and from there monitor and analyse the implementation of the plans in the three counties. It is expected that at least three sanitation issues are reflected and that there is an increase in the depth in which they are described and prioritised.30-04-2019: The IEA team analysed the CIDP for the three counties to see whether implementation took place and analysed the new CIDPs from the three counties to assess the level of prioritization for Sanitation.

However, this is in the pipeline as the counties have already developed draft County Sanitation Bills which are awaiting approval.These indicators are measured as part of the SSH4ALL Programme. A template is used to score specific elements under each indicator. This score indicates that generally there is a plan for demand creation covering entire Sub County/county–even if in phases but no adequate resources and systems are in place (see tool Sustainability Indicator 1 for more detail)This indicator will be measured again in June 2017 by the SSH4ALL Project and by then the score is not expected to have changed much. With the upcoming elections in August, the local government setting might change which can then in turn influence the second half of 2017 20-06-2018: The ODF campaign is ongoing in all the three counties (Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay and Kericho) with the aim for all counties to be declared Open Defacation Free. However, more resources need to be set aside for this exercise since it requires continous follow up to avoid those who are ODF from going back to the OD status and reach the entire population. For the campaign to be succesful it is essential for the county governments to steer the demand. Through the SSH4A and V4CP, SNV and IEA build the capacity of the local governments to steer the demand and sanitation processes. This required increased prioritisation, planning, coordinaation and budget allocation towards CLTS and sanitation activities. IEA contributes to this through county forums and sharing evidence based advocacy products.The target was exceeded by 0.1. Analysis done in June 2007 by SSH4A. For 2018 indicators are expected to reach an average of 2 and therefore the target was set to 2.5.30-04-2019: The ODF campaign in (Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay and Kericho) is ongoing in all the three counties with the aim for all counties being declared Open Defacation Free by 2020. IEA continuously advocates for CLTS and the ODF campaign. This year we have seen an increase in capacity of the local government to steer sanitation demand creation through the CLTS programme to which SSH4A contributes.The V4Change project in collaboration with the SSH4A project will continue advocating for improved access to sanitation and better sanitation service delivery to ensure all counties attain the ODF Status. The SSH4A programme will end December 2019.26-04-2020: The end-line survey of SSH4A shows an increase of local government to steer sanitation demand creation at scale. See report SSH4A for details.25-10-2020: The end-line survey of SSH4A shows an increase of local government to steer sanitation demand creation at scale. See report SSH4A for details.These indicators are measured as part of the SSH4ALL Programme. A template is used to score specific elements under each indicator. The score indicates minimal dialogue and a sector that is not structured see Tool Sustainability Indicator 6 for more detail)This indicator will also be measured in June 2017 and is expected to have improved slightly. The new government setting might provide new challenges and opportunities The target was exceeded by 0.1. Analysis done in June 2007 by SSH4A. For 2018 indicators are expected to reach an average of 2 and therefore the target was set to 1.5.30-04-2019: The Elgeyo Marakwet, Homa Bay and Kericho county governments have incorporated sanitation programmes and activities in their CIDPs. However, allocation of funds for implementation of the activities still remains a challenge.The IEA will continue advocating for investment in the sanitation sector through increased budgetary allocations and prioritization of sanitation projects.26-04-2020: The end-line survey of SSH4A shows an increase in sector alignment at local level. The baseline was 2.2. See report SSH4A for more details.25-10-2020: The end-line survey of SSH4A shows an increase in sector alignment at local level. The baseline was 2.2. See report SSH4A for more details.This indicator is measured as part of the SSH4ALL Programme. The score indicates minimal dialogue and a sector that is not structured (see Tool Sustainability Indicator 6 for more detail)Kenya initiated the Open Defecation Free (ODF) Rural Kenya Campaign in May 2011, adopting Community Led Sanitation (CLTS) as the core strategy to achieve the objective. This ODF indicator is measured as part of the SSH4ALL Programme.The V4Ch project in collaboration with the SSH4All project will continue advocating for improved access to sanitation and better sanitation service delivery to ensure all counties attain the ODF Status.26-04-2020: This indicator remains a challenge to measure as the national level data system for the ODF Campaign in Kenya is not populated regularly. Similarly data from the counties is mostly incomplete, outdated and/or not vertifiable. We intend to provide a comprehensive update on the data that is available mid 2020. This will also include data for the sub-counties that are part of the SSH4A programme. We also hope to use data from the 2019 census.25-10-2020: This indicator remains a challenge to measure as the national level data system for the ODF Campaign in Kenya is not populated regularly.

Development of budget analysis documents has been planned for 2017 It is expected that each focus county willl receive a budget analysis document. Including one at the national level. These documents will be used during national and county prebudget hearings 20-06-2018: The IEA did an analysis of the cost of poor sanitation for each county by showing how much each county lost annualy to poor sanitation, and how else the money could have been used in other county projects had there been access to improved sanitation in Homabay,Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet counties. The analysis was shared with varous stakeholders at the counties including;CPHOs,Members of the public and other County CSOs involved in Sanitation issues.The organisation also worked on the analysis of sanitation budget information which resulted into three county budget memos that were shared with the three county government sanitation stakeholders. The budget memos were shared during county public forums held. In addition to budget memos, budget guides will be developed in 2018 and include analysis of trends in allocations after the budget estimates are out. In 2017 this was not possible as the budget cycle was changed because of the election year and pushed to December 2016."IEA will draft, print and dissemination of budget guides and budget memo's for Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homabay counties.This will be shared through roundtable meetings with the county executives and CSOs on the need for inclusion of sanitation investment plans in planning and budgeting. In addition one alternative bduget memo will be prepared and shared at the national level. "30-04-2019: IEA prepared a Citizen's Alternative Budget guide that was shared at the national level. The Citizen's Alternative Budget contains budget proposals which could either be tax, regulatory or expenditure related or even reform oriented. The Alternative budget gives the citizen an opportunity to make or influence government decisions and also help civil society develop viable alternatives to government policy in the budget process. IEA worked on the analysis of sanitation budget information which resulted into three county budget memos and budget guides that were shared with Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho and Homabay county government sanitation stakeholders. The budget memos were shared during county public forums held in Elgeyo Marakwt,Kericho and Homabay counties. The National budget analysis was also shared with the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Environment and Natural resources and the National Treasury representatives to show the allocations towards Sanitation as well as the need to create sanitation codes for ease in budget analysis.The IEA will prepare a Citizen's Alternative Budget memo that will be shared at the national level.The Alternative budget gives the citizen an opportunity to make or influence government decisions and also helps civil societies develop viable alternatives to government policy in the budget making process.

IEA published the sanitation budget analysis; a case of Homa Bay, Elgeyo Marakwet and Kericho Counties .The anayisis show the level of budgetary allocation in the counties with respect to sanitation programmesThe annual budget for Kenya includes solid waste management. Other sanitaiton related issues are not clearly indicated It is expected that only solid waste management will be clearly indicated in the national level budget until such a time that a budget code for sanitation is approved and implemented. This will enable other sanitation issues to reflect within the budget 20-06-2018: It is expected that only solid waste management will be clearly indicated in the national level budget until such a time that a budget code for sanitation is approved and implemented. IEA however will continue to engage the relevant actors on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. This is expected to lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the extend to which sanitation issues are reflected in the annual county budget. In 2017 this was mainly done through verbal encounters.IEA will continue to write and share proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. Adoption of a budget code is a long process which has now been initiated by the government in the strategic framework. In the meantime IEA will deduct sanitation activities within budget lines as best as possible.30-04-2019: Solid waste management sector is the only one which is clearly indicated in the national level budget on sanitation. Health and water sectors do not clearly indicate sanitation allocations and this can only be achieved when a budget code for sanitation is developed. IEA however will continue to write proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. This will lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the extend to which sanitation issues are reflected in the annual country budget.Solid waste management sector is the only one which is clearly indicated in the national level budget on sanitation.Health and water sectors do not clearly indicate sanitation allocations and this can only be achieved when abudget code for sanitation is developed. IEA however will continue to write proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. This will lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the extend to which sanitation issues are reflected in the annual country budget. IEA continues to advocate for incresed prioritization of sanitation service delivery through increased budgetary allocations. However,discussions on the chart of accounts for the creation of budget codes is ongoing and we expect the Sector to have its budget codes probably by the end of 2019 making it easy to reflect the level of prioritization for sanitation issues. This is therefore a long-term objective which will start resulting in information beyond 2019.26-04-2020: Solid waste management sector is the only one which is clearly indicated in the national level budget on sanitation.Health and water sectors do not clearly indicate sanitation allocations and this can only be achieved when abudget code for sanitation is developed.

However, discussions on the chart of accounts for the creation of budget codes is ongoing and we expect the Sector to have its budget codes in due course, making it easy to reflect the level of prioritization for sanitation issues.The county budgets mainly include all or some of the following sanitation issues: hygiene, CLTS and solid waste management It is expected that the same issues will reflect in next year's budget. This year the budget will be drafted early because of the upcoming national elections. Due to the planned interventions, we expect a more significant change during the budget planning the year after 20-06-2018: With the lack of sanitation budget guides and sanitation specific budget lines in county budgets, tracking sanitation issues in the county budgets is a challenge. IEA however engages the relevant actors on the importance of having sanitation specific activities and where possible budget lines/codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. Access to budget documents has increased. One example is the access to the budget document in Elgeyo Marakwet. The analysis of the CIDPs also emphasised that sanitation issues need a more prominent place in plans and budgets. The budget memo's advocated for sanitation allocations. In 2018 there will be an increased focus on uncovering saniation related expenses in detailed county budgets as well as a review of both estimates and actuals.IEA will continue to write and share proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget lines/codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. Counties will be encouraged to clearly indicate where expenses relate to sanitation to ease tracking, accountability measures and allocation.30-04-2019: With the lack of sanitation budget guides, tracking sanitation issues in the county budgets is a challenge. IEA however will continue to write proposals on the importance of having sanitation budget codes in order to reflect the sanitation issues in the annual budget. This will lead to the adoption of sanitation budget codes which will make it easy to isolate the extent to which sanitation issues are reflected in the annual county budget.

There is no clear agenda for the modernization of family farms, where CSOs take advantage of occasional meetings (policy development and / or evaluation, JNP, etc.) to express their interest to decision-makers and the sector private. This situation does not favor a better consideration of the interests of CSOs on the modernization of family farms. For the 1st semester, it could be pretentious to influence government agenda. It's why the target is 0. So, CSOs will be in touch with government 10-01-2018: During the audience with the Minister of Agriculture, and on CSOs proposition to meet him while 30 minutes every year, the Minister of agriculture took a decision to meet CSOs during a whole day every year to discuss about family farms concerns and and the progress of advocacy actions. This is a big intention and we hope and will work to make it effective. For that, the value for the 1st semester is 1 - Audience with ministries of health, economy, prime minister, parliament commissions, PTFs to present advocacy actions and give them Memo on what they can do to change the situation - Encounters with CSOs and NGOs for alliance - Meetings with Banks and MFIs to advocate about implementation of financial product and services adapted to family farmers reality - Workshop with central directors of ministries in charge of agriculture, economy and parliament member on good agriculture governance - workshop with research, family farmers, minsitry of agriculture for increasing populations resiliency against climate change15-10-2018: Especially since the study trip to Benin, the FNS group is taken seriously by the NGOs, the United Nations bodies and the ministries, because they have managed to influence the debate at the national level with the idea of a unique coordination mechanism for FNS. The Minister of has shown his willingness to accompany CSOs in this process, and all the allied NGOs support this idea. At the regional level, the increased influence is demonstrated by regular meetings with the local government that gradually take into account the CSOs’ concerns. FNGN for example has participated in the support programme on the implementation of the Family Farm Council (CEF), and participated in the regional nutrition assessment, where their data were integrated into national statistics. It is clear that during the last half year the CSOs influence has increased, as they have been able to put important issues forward. Since these issues are not always put on the agenda, level 2 seems appropriate.It is foreseen that the degree of influence will be maintained. In the coming months, several activities will be carried out that will ensure CSOs influence on agenda setting. These activities include hearings with different ministries and meetings with the parliament. Meetings with the parliament are effective to ensure influence, as the ministers are sensitive to questions from the deputy. This year meetings will be held with banks and microfinance institutes (which has not been realised last year). The study on financial products will be shared with the banks, which also include recommendations that say the government has a role in accompanying the banks. So beyond that meeting, separate meetings will be organised with minister of agriculture & economy to follow up, to present results of studies and how they will take them into account. Next to that there are plans for 2 main activities; a forum on the modernisation of family farms, which will involve actors of all 13 regions in Burkina. With these government actors concerns and recommendations will be discussed. These recommendations will be followed up by the CSOs. The second main activity is the study trip to Benin with government actors to understand how they accomplished to merge the food security and nutrion coordination structures08-12-2018: "Especially since the study trip to Benin, the FNS group is taken seriously by the NGOs, the United Nations bodies and the ministries, because they have managed to influence the debate at the national level with the idea of a unique coordination mechanism for FNS. The Minister of has shown his willingness to accompany CSOs in this process, and all the allied NGOs support this idea.

It is clear that during the last half year the CSOs influence has increased, as they have been able to put important issues forward. Since these issues are not always put on the agenda, level 2 seems appropriate. "After the high-level panel, we intend to increase our influence on the government, as we will have contacts with relevant actors at the high level with regard to FNS governance and we will closely follow up with them. Also, a large national forum on the transformation / modernization of family farms is planned. As an expected result of this forum, targeted actors (government, the private sector and the private service providers) are expected to define strong actions in the short and medium term with regard to the enhanced availability of improved seeds, equipment, fertilizers and technical frameworks. There will be discussions with these actors who will engage in a final communiqué. Also, television and radio debates will be organized and will allow CSOs to increase their influence on the agendas.07-05-2019: During the year 2018, CSOs through their actions succeeded in obtaining the signature of a framework agreement of commitment with the representatives of the National Assembly, the MAAH and MINEFID to work towards the implementation and securing of the budget in favour of improved seed, fertilizer, equipment and advice support. At the local level, meetings with municipal and regional councillors have led to commitments by local authorities to integrate the needs of family farms into their community development plans. These two important elements have increased the influence of CSOs from 2 to 3 between July and December 2018 since they have had several exchanges and interactions with the Government and which have led to strong commitments enshrined in the framework agreement commitmentCSOs will strengthen their influence on the government's agenda, notably by organizing follow-up activities to the framework agreement with MAAH, MINEFID and the NA for increased budget funding. Through lobbying on banks, they will try to influence them for the reduction of the cost of credit at least for the 4 NSF CSOs to start09-10-2019: - The organization of regional forums, the national forum and the direct dialogue with the Head of State during the national farmers 'days organized in April 2019 were entrusted for the first time to farmers' organizations following their plea; - Vulnerable people and women have benefited more from state-subsidized inputs and equipment during the 2018-1919 campaign following the multiple arrests of CSOs;  -The official opening of the Agricultural Bank of Burkina Faso on March 29, 2019 is a tangible manifestation of the CSO advocacy action for the access of the RUs to the financial products that are adapted to them and at reduced costs. The average interest rate for Farmers' Organizations is 7% compared to other banks around 11-12%. The farmers' organizations are members of the board of directors of this bank. -The plea put forward by the SNSF CSOs contributed to the adoption by the National Assembly of a bill against the misuse of chemicals and pesticides in April 2019."CSOs will strengthen their influence on the government agenda, in particular by organizing activities to follow up the framework agreement of engagement with the Ministry of Agriculture and Hydraulic Improvements (MAAH), the Ministry of Economy, finance and development (MINEFID) and the National Assembly for increased budget allocation. Advocacy will also be continued in view of the effectiveness of the single institutional coordination of food and nutritional security. "14-04-2020: CSOs have strengthened their influence on the government's agenda, in particular by organizing activities to follow up the framework agreement of engagement with the Ministry of Agriculture and Hydraulic Improvements (MAAH), the Ministry of Economy, finance and development (MINEFID) and the National Assembly for increased budget allocation. The established committee wrote its report on the operationalization of commitments. Advocacy was continued in favor of the effectiveness of the single institutional coordination of food and nutrition security. CSOs sent, on October 14, 2019, CSO letters of appeal to the President of Faso, the Prime Minister, the Ministers of Agriculture and Health, the TFP (UNICEF, FAO) and the president of the panel of high level on the governance and institutional anchoring of the FNS of July 2018. It was a question of drawing their attention to the various initiatives in progress (presidential initiative and draft decree of creation of the national multisector council of nutrition and maintenance of the CNSA) which can constitute an obstacle to the integration and synergy between nutrition and food security. They received reassuring responses from the Prime Minister and the Presidency of Faso on the consideration of their concerns. They were also received by the Presidential Program Monitoring Office (BSPP) and an audience is underway with the Director of Cabinet of the Presidency of Faso. The officials of the Presidential Program Monitoring Office (BSPP) reassured CSOs about the relevance of their concern and made a commitment to report to the President of Faso and measures will certainly be taken in the coming days with the involvement of CSO. In addition, a workshop to assess the level of implementation of MAAH commitments in favor of the transformation of family farms was also held. A verbal intervention by CSOs was made on the need for a single institutional coordination at the general assembly of the National Food Secur ...CSOs will strengthen their influence on the government's agenda, in particular by organizing activities to follow up the framework agreement of engagement with the Ministry of Agriculture and Hydraulic Improvements (MAAH), the Ministry of Economy, Finance and development (MINEFID) and the National Assembly for the increased allocation of the budget. Advocacy will also be continued in favor of the effectiveness of the single institutional coordination of food and nutrition security. Likewise, CSOs through the proposals made by the banks for a reduction in the cost of agricultural credit, will work out with the relevant stakeholders, a roadmap for the operationalization of the mechanisms of reduction of the cost of agricultural credit by the banks and MFIs.28-10-2020: CSOs have maintained their influence on the government agenda and also on the private sector. Indeed, during the working session with the Minister of Agriculture on June 18, 2020, the Minister recognized that it is thanks to the V4C program that public investments in favor of family farmers have increased considerably in 2020. Similarly, following the advocacy actions undertaken by the CSOs FNS with the Minister of Agriculture and Hydro-Agricultural Development, the Council of Ministers adopted a decree establishing the Agricultural Development Fund (FDA) domiciled in the books of the Banque Agricole du Faso (BADF). This will lift the guarantees imposed by the banks. Another decree was taken in the Council of Minister for the establishment of agricultural insurance. This will make it possible to cover the risks of agricultural losses. All these measures are aimed at facilitating the access of family farms to credit. Also, the National Chamber of Agriculture, which represents all the peasants, through a correspondence to the MAAH in April 2020, expressed the serious concerns of family farmers and reservations about the mechanism recommended by its department for the distribution of subsidized inputs and subsequently, in the discussions, obtained an agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture for the monitoring of the mechanism. At the level of the SAN coordination, at the insistence of the CSOs, the Minister of Health finally agreed to receive them in May 2020 and admitted to having understood the concerns of the CSOs about the draft decree creating the national council of nutrition. subsequently, and undergoing media actions by CSOs to denounce the draft decree to create the national nutrition council in June 2020, a meeting was held on the subject for the first time in May 2020 between the Ministry of Agriculture , that of health and CSOs on instructions from the Prime Minister. Likewise, it was following the media actions of CSOs that the United Na ...CSOs will strengthen their influence on the government's agenda, in particular by organizing activities to follow up the framework agreement of engagement with the Ministry of Agriculture and Hydraulic Improvements (MAAH), the Ministry of Economy, Finance and development (MINEFID) and the National Assembly for the increased allocation of the budget. Advocacy will also be continued in favor of the effectiveness of the single institutional coordination of food and nutrition security.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests There are no precise collaboration frameworks between the CSOs, the government and / or the private sector, where exchanges take place on an occasional basis. The existence of certain consultative frameworks (CSOs, private sector and government through certain ministries) enables communication between CSOs and between CSOs and the government and / or the private sector at the local and / or national level. Given the absence of a formal timetable. In the actions plans, activities are planned to involve all these actors (workshop, meetings, visits).Through these project activities, relations will exist between the CSOs one part, and between CSOs and government / private sectors at local and national levels, 10-01-2018: Collaboration with Government (Ministries of economy and Agriculture) is good. As soon as we invite them, they come and participate actively to discusions. This is the case during FNS advocacy actions presentation where there were more than 20 public services represented and gave their contribution in terms of strategies, to have best results. One of the central Director agreed to moderate one of FNS workshop. After this, CSOs noticed that they received some invitations from agricultural services to participate at workshop. It means that collaboration is beginning to be good. We could add also here the decision of Minister of agriculture to meet CSOs during a whole day every year. Then, we noticed that the presence of a first vice-President of parliament commission in charge of Finance and budget at FNS study results presentation related to family farms financing. He was very interested to the study results and advice CSOs to meet and discuss with all parliament finance and budget commission members. Banks and MFIs was also present to this workshop and they participate actively to debates through data related to their institutions' investment in family farms in terms of loans and financial products. For all these reasons, the actual target is 1.The target for the next period will be still 1. We'll reinforce collaboration between both ministries (agriculture and economy) without excluding other relevant stakeholders. We plan a study tour with key stakeholders and this will be opportunity to discuss very well with these persons share in details our actions and vision. We also plan a workshop with central directors of both Ministries on good governance of agriculture, We'll continue meetings with PTFs, alliance with CSOs, etc. 15-10-2018: The collaboration bweteen CSOs and the government has improved, and has moved from level 1 to 2 as now the CSOs are more actively sharing and discussing relevant informatin. The collaboration between the V4CP CSOs and other CSOs is very good as is also witnessed by the partnership agreement that was signed. Through this agreement, they are jointly defining and carrying out activities. Staff from the Ministry of agriculture are showing increased engagement by participating in several activities organised by the CSOs. They have also invited the CSOs to their meetings. There was for example one deputy that shared with OSC a bill on co-investment in the agrosilvopatoral sector. Before sharing it with the parliament, they shared the document with CSOs and SNV and asked for feedback. The CSOs had a whole day to provide feedback and make sure advocacy priorities were integrated. The collaboration with the central director of the ministry has also improved, as he has opened one of the workshops and is showing interest in the activities. Collaboration between CSOs and private sector still needs to take off.The collaboration will be further enhanced in the coming months. The CSOs will plan for more joint advocacy actions with partner CSOs. Also they will have multiple exchanges with the ministry of agriculture and the ministry of economy, to evaluate actions of the ministries, how they can ensure the needs of family farmers are better include and how this is better integrated into the budget. A national forum on the modernisation of family farms will be organised with the ministry of agriculture. For the ministry of economy, working session with technical director are planned to see how he can make available more budget in favour of modernisation. Also meetings will be held with the ministry of health, to achieve a fusion of the committees working on nutrition. With regard to the private sector, as explained, closer collaboration will take place with banks and microfinance institutes to ensure they will develop financial products adapted to family farmers.10-04-2020: Collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture has improved. CSOs are more involved in meetings organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and their views are more and more taken into account. The Prime Ministry, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture participated in meetings organized by CSOs. These structures have agreed to designate agents to join the Benin study tour to learn from their unique FNS coordination model. Also the collaboration with MPs is very good. They appreciate being involved because it allows them to better understand the concerns of CSOs and to challenge the government to better address these concerns. They also appreciated the approach of CSOs and suggested them to focus more on specific departments because that is where all decisions are made. The National Assembly has promised to inform the CSOs in the event that the concerns of CSOs are not taken into account by a ministry. Even though the collaboration has improved, it is still ranked as 2 since the CSOs and ministry do not yet work on joint plans.Given the actions undertaken with key actors and the evolution of interactions with these actors (Ministry of Agriculture, National Assembly, private sector / banking sector), we expect an improvement in collaboration. Based on the priorities identified during these events (particularly the high-level panel and the national forum), we will work closely with relevant ministries to realize that plans (which will be elaborated during high level panel and national forum) are being translated into concrete measures, policies and actions. These elements will also be discussed during the working session with the Minister of Agriculture and his collaborators. Considering this shifting focus towards elaboration of concrete plans and actions, we expect to move to level 3.07-05-2019: The deputies of the National Assembly and the Central directors of technical services participate in the activities of CSOs (outings to family farms for direct exchanges, participation in workshops and hearings) and increasingly expressing their interest in the topics discussed. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) and banks have shown interest in accompanying family farms in their access to production, processing and marketing factors. The collaboration with the banking sector and the MFIs allowed the CSO to know the existence of certain guarantee structures which could facilitate the access of the family farms to the financing. These institutions have also suggested to the CSO to seek rather the reduction of the cost of credit than the development of other products that can take a lot of time. All this demonstrates that the CSO and the government/private sector make plans together, it remains their implementation and the CSO will take care to remind them and make the point on a regular basisCSOs will strengthen their collaboration with the government, notably by organizing follow-up activities of the framework agreement of engagement with MAAH, MINEFID and NA for the increased budgeting. Through lobbying the banks, they will try to influence them for the reduction of the cost of credit at least for the 4 NSF CSOs to start, They will also strengthen their relationship with the allied CSOs for more synergy of action. All this, to be able to follow the commitments of the decision makers.09-10-2019: During this semester, CSOs were invited to various meetings initiated by MAAH on the theme of food and nutrition security. This reflects the good collaboration between this ministry and CSOs. Moreover, the SNV received the visit of the Technical Department of Food and Nutrition (DTAN), a technical structure of MAAH, which came to discuss a strengthening of the partnership with SNV beyond V4CP. The monitoring of the framework agreement could not be achieved. It was postponed to the second half.The follow-up activities of the framework agreement with MAAH, MINEFID as well as the development of letters of inquiry from decision-makers are scheduled to be implemented in the second half of 201914-04-2020: At national level, there is very good collaboration between CSOs and the government. In fact, in the second half of 2019, CSOs conducted follow-up activities to the framework agreement with MAAH and MINEFID. COPSAC received a visit from MAAH at its headquarters. CSOs sent 24 letters of inquiry to 18 banks to remind them of their commitment to lightening the conditions for access to credit for family farms and to 6 institutions including the National Assembly for the implementation of the framework agreement for the transformation of family farms in Burkina Faso. The network of credit unions in Burkina expressed their willingness to receive concrete suggestions from CSOs on mechanisms that could reduce the cost of credit for family farms. During the organization of the field visit of the technicians from the 13 regional directorates of agriculture, the CSOs sent an Email to the MAAH, which instructed the 13 Regional Directors to release the heads of Regional Services for Hydraulic Improvements and Agricultural Productions to participate in the field visit on climate-smart agriculture and its application in the advisory support system. The FNS CSOs were able to hold a working session with the Minister and the MAAH Central Directors in order to verify the progress recorded in terms of the commitments made by the MAAH. Also, following the letter of inquiry from CSOs, the Prime Minister and the Presidency of Faso responded to CSOs and reassuring them that they have instructed their services to take up the concerns of CSOs. The Faso presidency also met with CSOs in December 2019 on the issue of coordinating food security and nutrition. Also, the CSOs organized under the sponsorship of MAAH, an advocacy meeting with banks and MFIs to reduce the cost of creditAt the national level, the level of collaboration with the authorities is very significant. CSOs have very easy access to the authorities and are invited to consult with these different institutions. During the first half of 2020, CSOs will work to maintain this good collaboration. The strengthening of collaboration will be more accentuated with the private sector (seed producers, agribusiness man) for access to agricultural services and with the Ministry of Health with the aim of the single institutional coordination of Food and Nutritional Security. Indeed, the Ministry of Health is indeed very shy to engage in the process of single institutional coordination.28-10-2020: At the national level, CSOs have maintained a very good collaboration with the government. This is confirmed by the number of meetings during which the two parties have invited each other. The CSOs were invited by the MAAH to draft proposals for measures for the support / accompaniment of agro-sylvo-pastoral operators impacted by COVID-19, a final document of proposals called "Impact analysis note and proposals support for agro-sylvo-pastoral farmers impacted by COVID-19 "which was produced and shared with the CSOs who participated in the process and MAAH on April 22, 2020. In addition, the Minister of Agriculture recognized the importance and weight of the CSOs of the program in the increase of the budget allocated to agriculture during the working session with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Women on June 18, 2020 and only if the program did not exist not, it had to be created.The second semester 2020 being very brief with a month of activity, the CSOs will be a continuation of the first semester.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests There are no precise collaboration frameworks between the CSOs, the government and / or the private sector, where exchanges take place on an occasional basis. The existence of certain consultative frameworks (CSOs, private sector and government through certain ministries) enables communication between CSOs and between CSOs and the government and / or the private sector at the local and / or national level. Given the absence of a formal timetable. In the actions plans, activities are planned to involve all these actors (workshop, meetings, visits).Through these project activities, relations will exist between the CSOs one part, and between CSOs and government / private sectors at local and national levels, 10-01-2018: Actual target is 0 because there is no activity implemented at local level during the 1st semester. Some small actions took place like audiences with governors, regional Directors of agriculture to present advocacy actions and request their support and contributions. We organized also 2 mini-workshops at local level and visits to local authorities. The target for next period is 1. Many activities will be implemented at the local level like: - workshops with local authorithies to present advocacy - Meetings with key resources persons - CSOs participation at local activities (municipal council meetings) - Direct discussion in the field between national director of agricultural equipment 08-12-2018: "The CSOs had meetings with many Governors at regional level, which resulted in better relations The CSOs meet more regularly with the governors and they also consult the CSOs more often. Furthermore, the CSOs presented their advocacy plans to local goverments, and organised sensibility activities to prevent malnutrtion. In the region of Mohoun for example, the CSO working there is invited to more meetings. They have met with the regional director who invited them to take part in the ""journee regional de paysant"". Collaboration with private sector is still low at the local level, as the national level is a more logical entry point for e.g. banks."In the coming period, the CSOs wil mainly focus on the local development plans that will be developed at municipal and regional level. Now that there is a new PNSR and because PNDES, the main national policy documents for Burkina's development, the plans at local level also need to be updated, and be linked to the PNDES. The revision of these local plans will provide CSOs with opportunities to advocate for better policies at the local level. The CSOs will organise working sessions with mayors, regional advisors and the development and environmental commission to ensure they take modernization of family farms into account in their development plans. The CSOs will also participate more in counsils at the municipal and regional level. The target regions include Boucle du Mouhoun, Sud Ouest, Centre Ouest and Nord. The CSOs will work both at municipal and regional level, as the plans will be made on those two levels. The CSOs will also work closer with the private sector at local level, especially when it comes to enhanced availability of inputs.15-10-2018: Since the beginning of the project, the main focus has been on the national level, as more impact can be achieved there. This year the actions will however also concern the local level, but for this first semester, there has been little action at the local level other than participation in meetings (hence level 1). During the second semester, collaboration with the local level will increase.For the second semester,CSOs will work more closely with the local governments. They will participate in several municipal council sessions, will organize workshops with city councilors to influence their local development plans. They will also participate in other events organized at the local level to enhance actors' understanding with regard to key advocacy issues.07-05-2019: At the local level, meetings with municipal and regional councillors have led to commitments by local authorities to integrate the needs of the family farm into their community development plansCSOs will intensify their collaboration with Municipal and Regional Councils and will follow up on the development of new Local Development Plans to ensure that their concerns are addressed.09-10-2019: Collaboration with local authorities has remained stable and continues to strengthen. During this semester, the CSOs are invited to the consultations at the local level. In addition, all 13 Regional Council Presidents (RCPs) participated in the training and advocacy workshop to which CSOs sent invitations. However, there is a lack of monitoring of the preparation of regional and communal development plans by CSOs to effectively take into account the concerns and expectations of the family farms.CSOs will be actively involved in the meetings planned by municipal and regional councils in order to influence the content of local development plans so that they take greater account in budgets, aspects linked to subsidies in improved seeds, fertilizers, equipment, and technical supervision.14-04-2020: CSOs have good collaboration at local level with local authorities (municipalities and regional councils) as well as with the technical services of the State. During the second semester, FEPAB was invited to the 4th session of the mouhoun loop regional council in Dédougou. Following the second exchange meeting of 2019 with the allied CSOs signatory to the advocacy charter of the thematic group FNS in Dédougou from 14 to 15 November 2019, there was a widening of the advocacy group with the introduction Regional Chambers of Agriculture (CRA). COPSAC also participated in the ordinary session of the municipal council in 10 municipalities in its coverage area.At the local level, the level of collaboration with the authorities is also very significant. CSOs have very easy access to the authorities and are invited to consult both regionally and at the municipal level. During the first half of 2020, CSOs will work to maintain this good collaboration.28-10-2020: At the local level, we note that good collaboration has been maintained with all the 13 regional council presidents. In fact, on July 8, 2020, they all responded to the Workshop to monitor progress in the implementation of PCR commitments for sustainable access of populations to Quality Renewable Energies, sustainable food and nutritional security and to peaceful transhumant farming in Burkina Faso in koudougou. Moreover, given the importance of consultations between CSOs and the 13 Presidents of Regional Councils (PCRs), the latter made the commitment in June 2020 to maintain and finance the consultations between PCR and CSOs after the end of the V4CP program.The second semester 2020 being very brief with a month of activity, the CSOs will be a continuation of the first semester.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsThe government (local and national) informs CSOs about decisions. CSOs are invited to participate in regional and national activities. Existence of fora ad-hoc fora for consultations with CSOs. But problems are the lack of time for CSOs to prepare these meetings (invitation sheet arrived generally 1 or 2 days before the meeting), the low level and low understanding of CSOs participants, the low representativeness of CSOs, etc, Through CSOs trainings in advocacy and thematic knowledge, and interractions with authorities, they can build their capacities in preparation, and contribution during accountability mechanisms with government. activities are planned to facilitate/ contribute to accountability mechanisms implementation. Also, they can advocate to have ToR of meetings 1 week before the meetings, and to increase the number of CSOs participants to these meetings, 08-12-2018: "The CSOs have engaged in TV debates to discuss what the ministry has realised and what they expect from the ministry. It was an opportunity to confront them with questions and ideas on how they can improve. The PNSR (Programme national du secteur rural), which is the main policy of the ministry of agriculture, was revised in 2017. The CSOs participated in this and integrated many points from their advocacy plans. The CSOs have also attended a meeting in which the ministry of economy has shared insights on how the budgetting process works and how the budget is divided among ministries. This gave CSOs a better understanding of how the ministry of agriculture is planning and what budget lines are relevant. That ministry had cut some budget lines and in the meetng questions were asked about this.""The CSOs are planning to take the deputies and central directors on a field visit, so they can witness the problems of family farmers and provide suggestions on what they can do to improve the situation. The deputies/central director do not know, understand or take seriously the problems at the local (farm) level. The visit will enable them to have direct discussions with the family farmers, and ensures they are aware of the implications of their policies. Furthermore, the CSOs will monitor implementation of PNSR (Programme national du secteur rural). However, it takes a while before it will be adopted and the technical teams have to be in place. Not yet clear when it will be operational, probably not this year. CSOs can put pressure to accellerate implementation. They will have working sessions with minister in April, and can ask to accelate. The CSOs have asked resakss to give data on expenditure, to show the ministry what they have done last year, and what more they need to do."07-05-2019: CSOs are invited to the Board of Directors (CASEM) of sectoral ministries (MAAH, MRAH, MEEVCC), which are bodies of balance, orientation and planning. Which is a very big step forward. CSOs also participate in the various sectoral dialogue frameworks of the departmental departments. These bodies are places of interpelation for CSOs in relation to the duty of accountability of the Government. CSOs are associated with the processes of development, piloting and monitoring-evaluation of public policies and programs. CSOs are now associated with the Organization of national peasant days that were exclusively done by the Ministry of agriculture (MAAH). The initiative and the facilitation of regional fora are the assets of CSOs.CSOs will monitor and challenge the National Assembly, the Ministry of agriculture and the economy, of the commitments they have made in favour of the increased allocation of the budget. This follow-up will also be extended to banks to ensure that the cost of credit will be reduced. These actors will have to say the steps already initiated or crossed.10-04-2020: The accountability mechanisms improved a lot in the second half of 2019. The CSOs followed up with appeals to the national assembly, the prime minister, the ministry of agriculture and that of the economy, commitments they have made in favor of the increased allocation of the budget. In this context, a working session was held with the target departments. This monitoring has also been extended to Banks to ensure that the cost of loans will be reduced. In this sense, 18 letters of inquiry were sent in addition to the meeting with all of these actors to review the progress made. These actors have each time informed the CSOs of the stages already initiated or crossed and are involved in the discussions within the frameworks for consultation. FEPAB participated in the CASEM of the MAAH and intervened on the increase in the budget allocated to the Central Directorates for substantial support to the RUs, the improvement of the criteria for identifying and targeting vulnerable families for better support. Then, he insisted on the imminent deployment of engineers at the decentralized level. Finally, he recalled the urgency of speeding up the creation of the agricultural development fund through the creation of a window for the benefit of family farms. COPSAC participated in the municipal council session in 10 municipalities and in the regional council session. In these consultation frameworks, she had the opportunity to advocate for the inclusion of family farms in the annual investment plans.CSOs hope to participate in the annual meeting with MAAH to be kept informed of developments as well as in the various frameworks for consultations organized by MAAH where the voice of CSOs would be useful. In addition, CSOs will monitor framework agreements to see the evolution of the state of implementation both by the authorities at national and local level.28-10-2020: The MAAH's accountability mechanisms developed better in 2020. Indeed, the MAAH involved the CSO in the drafting of proposals for measures for the support / accompaniment of agro-sylvo-pastoral operators impacted by COVID-19, a final proposal document called "Impact analysis note and support proposals for agro-sylvo-pastoral operators impacted by COVID-19" was produced and shared with the CSOs who participated in the process and MAAH on April 22, 2020. On June 18, 2020, the MAAH chaired the working session between its department, farmers' organizations and the Ministry of Women and Humanitarian Action. Initiated by the Cooperative for the provision of agricultural services (COPSAC), this meeting allowed the different actors to discuss the concerns and proposals of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for food and nutritional security in Burkina. At the end of the meeting the MAAH welcomed this initiative and thanked COPSAC for the various proposals formulated for the development of the agricultural sector. In addition, he reassured the commitment of his department to take these proposals into account. On August 04, 2020 in Ouagadougou, the MAAH went to present to the CSOs the results of the implementation of the presidential commitments in the agricultural sector to the Confédération paysanne du Faso (CPF). Which is very strong in terms of accountabilityConfidentialConfidential08-12-2018: confidentialconfidential07-05-2019: The evaluation of the Political will concerned 4 institutions (the Ministry of economy and finance and development (MINEFID), the Ministry of health, the National Assembly (AN), the Ministry of agriculture and hydraulic settlements (MAAH). The results show that these 4 institutions support the theme with an average score of 3. The MAAH, through its central directorates and specialized services (DGPER, DGPV, SP/CPSA,...), has increased its support for advocacy on family farm modernization and scored 4. This has been reflected in both discourse and practice: for example, six Central directors of the Ministry of agriculture and water supply (MAAH) are engaged to support OSCs advocacy actions during the workshop in Koudougou.These managers who do not often have contact with the producers did not hesitate to meet the producers and growers of the southwest region to learn about and exchange information about their situation. In terms of shares, in 2018, the MAAH organized a workshop linking family farms and seed growers to promote grouped orders; between family farms and suppliers to improve the quality of inputs and lower their costs; financial actors (banks and MFIS) to increase access to family farming credit. the Ministry of agriculture has organized entrepreneurship training sessions for the benefit of family farms. Substantial endowments have been provided to technical support services to make them more operational in the farm management of family farms the National Assembly (AN): since June 2018, deputies ' interest has increased for advocacy on the modernization of family farms, and this has resulted in a massive presence of at least 30 MPs in the project's activities. These deputies have been very interested in advocacy on the modernization of EFA, and use the evidence provided by the OSCs in the debates in which they participate. The Ministry of economy and finance (MINEFID) responded to the invitations of the OSCs to the workshops to discuss b ...The Ministry of health, the Ministry of agriculture, the technical and financial partners (who, UNICEF, FAO, WFP), the Prime Ministry, the Presidency of the Republic will be met to take action for a single coordination of the Food and nutrition security, the Ministry of agriculture, that of the economy, the National Assembly will also have to show more will through the implementation of the commitments made.14-04-2020: - The presidency of Faso: following the appeal addressed to CSOs on the draft decree creating the national multisectoral nutrition council and maintaining the CNSA), the Office for Monitoring the Presidential Program (BSPP) reassured CSOs about the relevance of their concern and undertook to report to the Chair so that instructions were given taking into account the concerns of CSOs.  - the Prime Minister: following the inquiry addressed to the Prime Minister on the draft decree for the creation of the national multisectoral council for nutrition and maintenance of the CNSA), this institution instructed its cabinet to take the necessary measures for the holding of an audience to better understand this project since this project can constitute a brake on integration and synergy between nutrition and food security. The Prime Minister is also a signatory to the commitments to modernize family farms.  - The Ministry of Agriculture: on December 10, 2019, the MAAH demonstrated to the TV channel 3TV the need to modernize family farms using the evidence shared by CSOs. During consultations where the MAAH is present, the Minister has always clearly shown his support for the modernization of RUs in Burkina.  - MINEFID: Following the advocacy of CSOs, the minister in charge of the budget agreed to secure the budget lines devoted to family farms.  - FAO: following the appeal addressed by CSOs on the draft decree creating the national multisectoral council for nutrition and maintaining the CNSA), FAO received CSOs in audience to better understand and affirmed its support for CSOs and found their position relevant. FAO has even sponsored the dissemination workshop organized by the FNS group in favor of the modernization of RUs and the integration and synergy between nutrition and food security.  - The National Assembly: The National Assembly through the presidents of 5 parliamentary groups (COMFIB, CODRECC, Commission for evaluation and monitoring of policies, RE ...In addition to the Ministry of Health, the decision-makers who are already supporting the advocacy (the Faso presidency, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Agriculture, MINEFID, the National Assembly, the FAO, the 13 PCRs) will also be targeted. by CSOs.28-10-2020: - The Presidency of Faso: On November 29, 2019, the President of Faso chaired the ceremony of handing over 400 agricultural tractors to producers and laid the foundation stone of the agricultural equipment assembly plant for the benefit of the rural world in Bobo-Dioulasso. The Head of State stressed that agricultural mechanization is a sine qua non for the intensification and increase of agricultural production. On July 23, 2020, the Council of Ministers adopted a decree establishing the Agricultural Development Fund (FDA) which will be domiciled at the Agricultural Bank of Faso (BADF). He also adopted the creation of an agricultural insurance mechanism to "reduce the vulnerability of our agriculture to climatic hazards and strengthen producers' access to financial services. This mechanism will begin with a pilot phase from 2020 to 2022 with three regions: Boucle du Mouhoun, Center-West and East. It will focus on the rice, sorghum and maize sectors "whose production represents 86% of annual food consumption in Burkina Faso." Finally, the Council adopted the decree on the digitization of payments which, of course, will impact the rural world and agricultural sectors, in particular by securing their economic activities and giving them access to numerous services. It is also an attractive factor for young people. - The MAAH: On January 23, 2020, the MAAH chaired the opening ceremony of the Days for Understanding Family Farms and Dissemination of Evidence, organized by CSOs. On May 8, 2020, the MAAH chaired the handover ceremony of tractors to members of the National Union of Seed Producers of Burkina (UNPSB), in Ouagadougou. He invited the beneficiaries to organize themselves to take better care of this agricultural equipment in order to achieve the objectives of sustainable food and nutritional security. On July 3, 2020, the MAAH handed over a check for 995,000,000 CFA francs for the financing of the projects of 404 young agricultural entrepreneurs, ...(Increase in absolute spending)For 2015, agricultural public expenditures (DPA) review indicated that Government and TFPs investment in modernizing family farms amonts to 22,8 billions FCFA , of which 4,8 billion CFA for fertilizers, 5,4 billions for seeds, 6,7 billions for trainings, technical advice and Fields monitoring, and 5,9 billions for agricultural équipments. This is not only for family farms but for all Burkina Agriculture (There are no official data concerning only Family farms), This does mean the part of family farms is even lower.Our target at the end of the project (2020) is an increasing of 50% of Government and TFPs investments for seed, fertilizers, equipments, fields monitoring/training/Technical advice. But for 2017, as we are in the beguining of advocacy, we expect an increasing of 5% of annual expenditure for seeds, fertilizers, équipments, advices.08-12-2018: data not available yet07-05-2019: Over the period 2016-2017, the Ministry of Agriculture's public expenditure on improved seeds, fertilizers and equipment (the technical framework not provided by the Department's statistics) increased. These expenditures rose from 10.4 billion in 2016 to 21.2 billion in 2017 (report SP/CPSA-MAAH), 2018). This is a great step forward and the CSOs have contributed greatly through the many encounters and interpellations. It should be recalled that there was a decrease in public expenditure between 2015 and 2016 of 4.5% from 14.9 billion to 10.4 billion. This reflects the significant contribution of the V4CP program to this major change., with the goal at the start of the 5% projectIn view of the increase in expenditure of 100% between 2016 and 2017, we expect an additional 2% increase between 2017 and 2018 of public expenditure on seeds, fertilizers and equipment,28-10-2020: CSOs pleaded for an increased budget for the modernization of family farms. This is why, despite the budgetary constraints linked to the security crisis and its consequences on the budgets allocated to the various ministries, public expenditure made by the MAAH for the modernization of family farms has increased by 6.58% from 15.2 billion in 2018 to 16.2 billion FCFA in 2019. This increase, although lower than the expected rate in a context as difficult as that of Burkina Faso, is a strong testimony to the success of the advocacy led by the CSOs of the FNS thematic group. In fact, in 2019, public expenditure in favor of the modernization of family farms was 16.2 billion out of a forecast of 6.7 billion, and this because of the success of the advocacy of CSOs with the President of the Republic during of the national farmer's day in Gaoua. For the year 2020, forecasts are 12.7 billion FCFA in the finance law. However, as part of the economic and social support plan against the effects of COVID-19, the President of the Republic has promised 30 billion to family farms, which however requires a dialogue between CSOs and the ministries in charge of Agriculture to its implementation.With the security crisis that has deepened, there will certainly be new budget cuts in other ministries for the benefit of defense and security. However, CSOs hope that with the plea addressed to MAAH, MINFID and the Nationle assembly, the budget lines on agricultural intarnts and agricultural advice will be secured. But we are waiting for the spending review to get an idea of the spending plans for the period 2019-2020.28-10-2020: CSOs pleaded for an increased budget for the modernization of family farms. This is why, despite the budgetary constraints linked to the security crisis and its consequences on the budgets allocated to the various ministries, public expenditure made by the MAAH for the modernization of family farms has increased by 6.58% from 15.2 billion in 2018 to 16.2 billion FCFA in 2019.

However, producers needs news approaches, technics and technologies to improve their resiliency against climate change. The Agriculture Ministry don't want many concertations framework in the ministry planning, One formal concertation will be organized by FNS CSOs with many keys actors, to think about how integrate concertation between research, MAAH, and producers, in the existing frameworks in the local and national level. This will permit to improve producers resiliency to climate change by the taking into accountof their needs.08-12-2018: One workshop was organised between the ministry of agriculture and research actors to improve collaboration. The research institutes currently produce research products that are not used by the ministry, and the ministry has needs that are not taken into account in research. The meeting was about how research can better take the ministry's needs into account, and how ministry can better use existing research. It took place in december and resulted in recommendations for better collaboration."This year the CSOs will follow up with the ministry of agriculture on how they can improve collaboration with research institutes, through a number of working sessions. They will be encouraged to have meetings on a regular basis. Also a meeting will be organised to dessiminate evidence, amongst which on existing research available in Burkina, such as the IFPRI study on national and regional analysis on the production, use, demand and supply of inputs."07-05-2019: These are meetings organized by WASCAL within the framework of the apt-21 project on the climato-intelligent agriculture (taking into account extreme climatic events in the practice of agriculture)It is expected that each of the organizations can participate in at least one meeting on climate change in 201910-04-2020: - Participation of UNPRB in the meeting of the Regional Framework for Concertation of West African Rice Producer Organizations (CR-COPR) in Cotonou in Benin on the strategies to be developed to increase rice production in Africa from the West from 26 to 28 November 2019. - Participation of UNPRB in the meeting of multi-stakeholder partners on the rice sector in Accra in Ghana from 01 to 02 September 2019 - Organization by COPSA-C of a field visit of the heads of regional services for hydraulic development and agricultural production (SRAHPA) on the consideration of climate-smart agriculture in agricultural extension and its workshop in Ouahigouya, Arbollé and Filly from 04 to 5 November 2019 - Participation of FNGN in a sharing and reflection workshop on "what agriculture in Burkina Faso in 2050" organized by SOS FAIM in Ouagadougou from October 30 to 31, 2019. - Participation of FNS CSOs in the exchange visit workshop and direct dialogue between seed companies, Equipment manufacturers, researchers, MAAH, farmers' organizations in Bobo-Dioulasso organized by FEPAB from 22 to 23 October 2019. - Participation of FEPAB in the international summit of the Civil Society - Earth Biodiversity and Climate, Desertif'actions 2019 in Ouagadougou from June 16 to 19, 2019. - Participation of FEPAB in training on market gardening techniques and drip irrigation organized by GIZ in Israel from May 27 to June 08, 2019 - Participation of COPSA-C and FEPAB in an exchange trip with farmers from France on agriculture (and agro-ecology) in Europe organized by AFDI from 04 to 12 March 2019Each of the 4 organizations is expected to participate in at least one meeting on climate change in 202028-10-2020: This year, no CSO participated in a multi-stakeholder meeting on the integration of climate change into agricultural production. Attention is turned to COVID-19 and the security crisis in Burkina Faso.National policies like PNSAN integrate nutrition and gender in food security in the content, but in their implementation (actions) there is a great deal of inadequacy. This situation is caused in big part by the exitences of 2 institutions created separately in 2 ministries (Health for CNCN and agriculture for CNSA). One of them is in charge of coordination of nutrition (CNCN, and the other the coordination of food security (CNSA). Their activity is not very integrated and we will advocate to have a single institution with power and resources, to manage FNS in Burkina Faso. In the scale that we created, the level 0 means that no unification, only dialogue frameworks exist in both ministries, The level 1 means that the government support the idea of unification of two entities and committed, FNS CSOs through their collaboration and actions with the Government will permit them to know the relevance and efficacity in the creating of a single entity in charge of FNS integrating gender at national level. 08-12-2018: CNCN and CNSA continue to collaborate but conduct actions separately. They work according to a harmonised framework, which is a document where there are separate indicators for the ministry of health and there are separate indicatos of ministy of agriculture. Every ministry will work on one of the indicators, without coordination."First, the CSOs with government actors (agriculture, health, prime minister, president office, parliament) will conduct a study trip to Benin, as there a similar problem occurred in the past, and a successful solution has been implemented (creation of national food and nutrition council under the responsibility of the President's office). In Benin they will talk to CSO/NGO partners, as well as with the ministry of agriculture and health, parliament and the mayors association. This will give the CSOs a good idea of how the system can work. After that the CSOs will organise 3 workshops; 1 with ministries of agriculture and health technicians to exchange and share with their colleagues Benin's experience and to do recommendations. The second workshop will serve to discuss operationalisation of recommendations with the central directors of the 2 ministers. The third meeting will concern a meeting with the 2 ministers and their advisors so they can support the operationsalisation. After this, we expect that the Government will be in favor of the merging of CNCN and CNSA, which corresponding to level 1 of our scoring rubric"07-05-2019: The Government is in favour of the unification of the two entities. The recommendations of the high-level Panel have shown this as well as the conclusions of the study on the political will conducted in the framework of V4CP. Indeed, at the end of the study trip to Benin in may 2018 organized by the CSOs and which was inspiring and which constituted evidence for the participants of the Ministry of health, the Ministry of agriculture, the National Assembly and the first Ministry, CSOs decided to organise a high-level Panel with all relevant actors involved in food and nutrition security. This Panel allowed the two coordinating structures of food security (CNSA) and nutrition (CNCN) to present their current features as well as the experience of Benin. The exchanges resulted in a single coordination model and a supra-ministerial anchor, the United Nations agencies (WFP, REACH) and sub regional institutions (CILSS) and international organizations (USAID) strongly supported this idea and the members CNCN and CNSA showed a greater willingness to go towards a single aspects. It now remains to raise awareness among other important actors who have not taken part in this Panel (UNICEF, FAO, Ministry of Health Office) to get them to join.With the consultations scheduled for 2019, we hope that the Government will take initiatives (Decree) for the creation of a single coordinating body for food and nutrition security. Which is equivalent to level 2. It will therefore be necessary to raise awareness among other important actors who have not taken part in this Panel (UNICEF, FAO, Ministry of Health Office) to get them to join. Secondly, it will be necessary to reflect on the mechanism that will be put in place and its composition with all stakeholders, and finally, to urge the Government to make a decree to set up the single coordinating body10-04-2020: During 2019, the various advocacy activities made it possible to gain the support of certain key decision-makers for unique institutional coordination. These are the President of Faso, the Prime Minister, the National Assembly, the FAO, the 13 presidents of the regional council, the MAAH. However the ministry of health through the national council of concertation on nutrition (CNCN), as well as certain organizations (RESONUT) remain hostile to this unification. However, the support of the above-mentioned decision-makers constitutes a real step forward in favor of this unique coordination. A draft decree has been prepared and is being amended.At the anchoring level, a certain convergence of opinion is to be observed. At the level of the establishment of the single institutional coordination and the single policy, there remains a big challenge because there are several conflicts of interest. What makes opinions differ. The year 2020 will be devoted to continuing advocacy so that the commitments made by the various decision-makers contribute to reaching a decree for the creation of this supra-ministerial institution as desired by the CSOs.28-10-2020: Since early 2020, a draft decree has been under development for the creation of a national nutrition council for the Presidency of Faso. Even if the anchoring seems satisfactory, the position of this new body in relation to the SE-CNSA and its composition is not satisfactory from the point of view of the CSOs who plead for there to be a single coordinating body and no longer of them. This is why the Minister of Agriculture responded in April 2020, by correspondence to the Prime Minister, proposing to him the opening of consultation under the aegis of the Prime Minister, to find solutions to the concerns of the CSOs who had questioned him on the draft decree to create a national nutrition council. The Minister of Health, for her part, finally agreed to receive CSOs in May 2020 and admitted having understood the concern of CSOs about the draft decree creating the national nutrition council. She understood that CSOs want greater consideration of nutrition in its multisectoral nature. Subsequently, a meeting was held on the subject for the first time in May 2020 between the Ministry of Agriculture, that of Health and CSOs on the instruction of the Prime Ministry. This meeting enabled CSOs to directly express their concerns in connection with the draft decree and to make realistic proposals for more coherence, effectiveness and efficiency of food and nutrition security interventions. Subsequently, the CSOs organized a press conference to denounce the draft decree creating the national nutrition council in June 2020. Following this press conference which had an international impact, the Under-Secretary of the Nations United in charge of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement Gerda VERBURG had discussions with SNV on the concerns raised by CSOs in Burkina Faso and indeed admitted that it is necessary to work on more synergy between multisectoral nutrition actors. These exchanges made it possible to gain a better understanding of the concerns of CSOs in Bu ...Currently, Government and farmers organizations are creating an agricultural bank. A such bank could offer financial services and products adapted to reality of family farms and permitting them to contract loans for modernising family farms (equipements and other inputs). FNS CSOs will support government in this way through public debates, conferences, press article, letters to governments and during other events, They will share evidence about family farms finacements commandited by SNV and incites government to take more resolutions to push banks and MFIs in the development of financial servives and products adapted to family farms, 08-12-2018: Creation of Agricultural bank; the bank was created last year, and producer organisations were implicated in the process. They contribute 30%, the state 30%, and the private sector 40%. The bank is not yet operational, and it is also not clear how it will function at operational level. The central bank also needs to confirm its support. CSOs will advocate for financial products adapted to family farmers/farmer organisations, and talk about issues like solidarity guarantee (instead of individual)."The CSOs will have meetings with banks and MFIs to advocate for the better access to loans adapted to family farmers. The results of a former study on micro-finance will be presented to the MFIs and it will be discussed how financial products can be best developed. Next to that, the CSOs will have working sessions with ministry of economy that is in charge of the bank. Based on these meetings with bank and MFIs, they will take measures towards developing adapted financial products. So, we expect at least one measure from the government toward Banks and MFIs, to incite them in the development of financial products and services adapted to family farmers."07-05-2019: 1. the setting up of the agricultural Bank continues. The recruitment of staff is effective and the opening of 4 regional agencies is foreseen. 2. another strong action is the signing of an agreement between the MAAH and a Moroccan company for the establishment of the agricultural insurance which will have to cover the risks and facilitate access to the appropriations. 3. the establishment by the State of a facilitation Fund at the level of the PCESA to facilitate access to credit for family farms. 4. the MAAH is engaged in a process of adopting a national strategy for the development of Warrantage based on community Warrantage. These 4 actions should allow access to financing under conditions adapted to their situation. These measures if they are all implemented are relatively inclusive and will allow producers to minimize the risks associated with climatic hazards, natural catastrophes, etc...Advocacy will be strengthened for banks and MFIS so that relevant action is taken by these actors to reduce the cost of agricultural credit to family farms28-10-2020: Despite the advocacy actions against MAAH, MINEFID, banks and MFIs, no concrete measures have been taken by these actors to reduce the cost of agricultural credit for the benefit of family farms. However, we note the project to create the MAAH agricultural development fund and the commitment made by the banks to work to make available financial products suitable for family farms. CSOs have managed to have proposals from banks on the levers to activate for a reduction in the cost of agricultural credit, which is a big step anyway.In 2020, CSOs hope to see the realization of the agricultural development fund which will facilitate access to a larger number of family farmers to credits. Also, CSOs will develop with relevant stakeholders, and will submit to the authorities, a proposal for operational actions to bring banks and MFIs to grant loans to family farmers at lower cost.28-10-2020: In 2020, the CSOs FNS undertook various actions within the framework of the program such as interpellations, exchange meetings, etc. as mentioned in the number of meetings. Following these advocacy actions with the Minister of Agriculture and Hydro-Agricultural Development, the Council of Ministers adopted July 2020: - A decree establishing the Agricultural Development Fund (FDA) domiciled in the books of the Banque Agricole du Faso (BADF). This will lift the guarantees imposed by the banks. - Another decree for the establishment of agricultural insurance. This will make it possible to cover the risks of agricultural losses. All these measures aim to facilitate farmers' access to credit. - Similarly, a national inclusive finance fund was created in June 2020 by MINEFID which recruited ten decentralized financial systems (MFIs) to facilitate family farmers' access to credit. The recruitment of MFIs will allow the implementation of lines of credit to promote the access of low-income people, family farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs to loans adapted to the needs of the agricultural sector. - In July 2020, CSOs developed and sent to the government (MINEFID and MAAH) a roadmap for reducing the cost of agricultural credit. This mechanism, if it is operationalized, will undoubtedly make it possible to reduce the cost of agricultural credit and improve family farmers' access to agricultural credit in order to transform / modernize their farms to contribute sustainably to food and nutritional security. Moreover, in July 2020, CSOs set up a task force (CNA, CPF, COPSA-C) to monitor the implementation of proposals for mechanisms to reduce the cost of agricultural credit sent to the government.Currently, there is no financial product proposed by banks which is adapted to family farmers reality because conditions which could be supported by them. It exist a warranty system which is a local agreement implemented by one bank and a fews MFIs in the South-west of Burkina, but it's not still expanded in the banks and MFIs network. Conditions are very hard and don't permit to most of family farmers to benefit loans. This year, it will be difficult to have change. advocacy is starting, but some actions will be undertake by CSOS like exchange wih banks and MFIs on the advocay subject. 08-12-2018: No activities yet carried out with banks due to the busy schedule towards the end of the year. This activity is therefore moved to next year."The CSOs will meet with several banks, to look together for solutions and reflect on how they can develop products adapted to family farmers. They will again present the recommendations of the study on financial products and discuss how the banks can contribute, what they expect from the government and from the family farmers in order to implement this succesfully."07-05-2019: Very ambitious indicator that will be supressed in 2019 and 2020. All new measures will be transferred to the indicator related number of measures taken by Government to facilite the availability of financial products adapted to family farmersN/A (the indicator has been removed)28-10-2020: No Financial product adapted to family farmers has been developed by banks ans MFIs28-10-2020: N/AA breakdown of the regions covered by the FNS CSOs was carried out and each CSO was empowered to collect data in these regions. So focus group has been conducted in the Regions of the Boucle du Mouhoun, Center-East, East, Central West, North Center, North, Sahel, Southwest, Haut-Bassins and Cascades in Burkina Faso With the actors involved in the provision of services to the EFA: the MAAH through its deconcentrated services (ZAT and UAT); The private sector (traders, equipment makers) and FFAs including gender and vulnerable households. Data analysis showed a very poor general level of EFA satisfaction with services provided, ie. 19.36%, broken down as follows: inputs: 6.38%; Equipment: 6.32% and technical support, 6.48%. Concerning quantity, the level of satisfaction is very alarming in the Boucle of Mouhoun and the Center-Est. A cooperative of 964 members received only one ton of fertilizer. One commune received one ton of NPK and 1.5 ton of urea for 62 villages. In the East, Center-West and Center-North, inputs account for less than 15% of EFA needs. In terms of equipment, sometimes a plow is given to the whole village. On the other hand, the scores on the quality of services are rather moderate (government inputs have a better quality than those purchased with traders in the market). The delay in the introduction of inputs and equipment is also very serious. Inputs from the 2016-2017 wet season were offered in July in the east, center-west and north-central regions. Exceptionally, in the Northern and Sahel Region, the level of female satisfaction with quantity is higher than in men (19% versus 17%) due to gender-sensitive projects. The analysis showed a very poor level of satisfaction for the technical support (ie. 1 agent for eighteen (18) villages technical supporting, this is very insufficient). Success of advocacy actions in a dynamic process of collaboration between CSO, Government and private sector, the implementation of a good machanism of accountabilty will made possible the taking into account of CSOs needs related to farmily farms modernization; and inceasse the score of satisfaction. In 2020, thanks to the advocacy of CSOs we hope that the level of satisfaction of family farms will be increased in light of the results recorded since 2018 with the MAAH and the involvement of the private sector and research in advocacy actions. However, this level will always be moderate due to the security context which can contribute to making the implementation of certain actions unproductive. The available evidence will be used to advocate for improved government services."Qualitative method approach based on focus groups made it possible to determine the accessibility levels of the EFA to the services provided. The analysis showed a very poor level of physical accessibility at 12.86% (score of 1). This reflects the low level of public and private investments in the modernization of family farms. There is a disparity between regions in terms of access by different categories to services, especially for women. Thus, while women in the Mouhoun Boucle Regions in the East, West Central and North Center do not have equipment and use little or no inputs in their fields (difficult access and expensive), in the Northern and Sahel Region of drylands, access to inputs, equipment and technical support is made possible by projects and institutions supporting women, youth and / or people Vulnerable. These specificities draw scores upwards in favor of women: women's access is 12.55%, compared to 10.70 for men and 13.25% for vulnerable farms. In general this level is low because of the high cost of inputs: 1 bag of fertilizer costs 21,000 FCFA; The poor quality of roads. In some cases, villages are cut off by water during the winter season or the inputs are not available (Case in the Southwest, Cascades and Hauts-Bassins) and producers have to travel to the main centers Like Bobo-Dioulasso, to have inputs. These factors limit the access of family farms to inputs and have a different effect on the level of access of producers to services in the 4 CSOs. As for the level of access of vulnerable producers in these CSOs, the difference is not very pronounced between CSOs. In general, the level of access to government services is higher for vulnerable producers than for other producers.Knowledge of the reference situation in relation to the modernization of farms is in itself a starting point for proposing strong actions justifying better policies for access to productive resources. Advocacy based on evidence and a reinforced leadership of CSO will allow to them to defend their rights to better production conditions; their right to better access to productive resources (inputs, equipment, technical support) offerd by government; The improvement of the credit grant adapted to the needs of the farms, the increased investment by government and private sector are major factors to modernize EFA. This is a complex process and in 2017, our target related to level of accessibility will pass from the score 1 to 2 Similarly in terms of accessibility, in 2020, thanks to the advocacy of CSOs, we hope that the level of access to family farms will be increased with a more affordable cost compared to the results recorded since 2018 with the MAAH and the involvement of the sector. and research in advocacy. However, this level will always be moderate due to the security context which can contribute to making the implementation of certain actions unproductive. The available evidence will be used to advocate for improved government services.28-10-2020: Out of the sample covered by the 2020 data collection, 51% of RUs consider that the inputs, equipment and technical support acquired are generally inaccessible at any time and in any place. They suggest that services should be made more accessible with supply points. However, 41% of RUs believe that they are more accessible in 2020 compared to 2018 because they have the possibility of obtaining them more quickly than in 2018. The score assigned to indicator M2 is then 3 .NL-KVK-41152786-1797-3SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationBurkina Faso-ResilienceThrough the ‘Voice for Change Partnership’ (V4CP) programme, SNV works to strengthen civil society organisations (CSOs) in their role as advocates and lobbyists. We work together with IFPRI and over 50 CSOs to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and influence decision-makers with solid and contextualized evidence to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices. For this specific project in Burkina Faso, our advocacy activities focus on Resilience.We aim to improve the living and working conditions of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in the context of climate change and decentralization. This will be achieved through improving service delivery by the government, local authorities, private sector and TFPs; increasing budget allocation by MRAH, local authorities and donors; adapting inclusive policies and laws taking into account climate change and decentralization; and implementing pastoralism policies by the government, local authorities and the private sector.SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Burkina FasoThe International Food Policy Research InstituteSNV Burkina FasoAkvo Foundationburkina-faso@snv.orgSecteur N°24 (ex 30) ZAD II Parcelle 02, lot 01, Section 118, Ouagadougou Burkina Faso12.371428 -1.51966219873.00644325.00219873.00SNV Netherlands Development Organisation644325.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Burkina FasoCSOs self-assessed their leadership capacities guided by a list of leadership criteria.

A new budget structure have been defined ""Budget Aligned in Program"", more responsabily is given to each direction to implement their budget. This reality seems rather cyclical and related to the ENEC III studies (National Survey on chepteh effectif) begin in 2017. Indeed the last national survey on the staff of the Chaptel dates from 2003."With the terrorism attack the county faced, all the budget of the department are drastically cut down. The discussion whe have with Director of animal production who have the big budget within the MRAH (40%), let us know that his department budget as cut down (80% of his budget). He has only 20% to engage ongoing activities.​28-10-2020: The budget allocated to the pastoralism sector by the government increased from 7.1 billion CFA francs in 2019 to 13.5 billion CFA francs in 2020, an increase of 90.14%. This increase was expected following the national consultation workshop on pastoralism in December 2019 where the recommendations focused on increasing the budget of the MRAH in favor of pastoralism. However, CSOs expect the RMRA to make effective use of this budget because, since 2016, the RMAF has still recorded poor execution of the budget allocated to pastoralism, which fluctuates between 49.14% and 88.37%. This weak budget execution leads to a drop in the level of pastoral public expenditure.The budget allocation of the MRAH by the government is known; Additional allocation in case of drought or epidemics It will be question of measuring the evolution of the budget allocated to pastoralism by the rural communes. We will carry out sampling in the concentration zones of pastoral activities. 04-07-2018: 0= no informationWith the terrorism attack the county faced, all the budget of the department are drastically cut down.

He has only 20% to engage ongoing activities.If the government increases the budget, spending will also increase almost in the same proportions.28-10-2020: Public pastoral spending fell from 6.29 billion in 2018 to 4.7 billion FCFA in 2019, a decrease of 25.28%. This is for two reasons. On the one hand, due to the security context, all of the MRAH suffered a reduction in the budget allocated to pastoralism which fell from 12.8 billion in 2018 to 7.1 billion in 2019. On the other hand, the MRAH accuses of poor performance in running the budget. The execution rate is 66.19% in 2019 and 49.14% in 2018.Annual budget for pastoralism depends on the investment planning of the municipality concerned. Each municipality draws up an annual budget, in 2016 ( of 7 municipalities surveyed) none has made an allocation to pastoralism on own budget. There is no annual budget allocation defined for pastoralism at commune level.  The percentage of the budget allocated to the pastoral activity will be measured in relation to the total budget of the activities of the MRAH. One can also evaluate the budget of the MRAH also in relation to the annual budget of the government. We will carry out sampling in the concentration zones of pastoral activities. Advocacy should change the situation in rural communes 04-07-2018: 0= no informationWith the terrorism attack the county faced, all the budget of the department are drastically cut down. The discussion whe have with Director of animal production who have the big budget within the MRAH (40%), let us know that his department budget as cut down (80% of his budget). He has only 20% to engage ongoing activities.Advocacy actions with deputies (who have already challenged the government on the need not to make a budget cut on pastoralism), local communities and the Ministry of Economy and Finance will allow an increase in the budget.28-10-2020: Le budget consacré au secteur du pastoralisme par le gouvernement est passé de 7,1 milliards de francs CFA en 2019 à 13,5 milliards de francs CFA en 2020, soit une hausse de 90,14%. Cette hausse était attendue suite à l'atelier national de concertation sur le pastoralisme en Décembre 2019 où les recommandations ont mis l'accent sur l'accroissement du budget du MRAH en faveur du pastoralisme. Toutefois, les OSC attendent du MRAH une utilisation effective de ce budget car depuis 2016 le MRAH enregistre toujours une faible exécution du budget alloué au pastoralisme qui fluctue entre 49,14% et 88,37%. Ce faible exécution du budget entraine une baisse du niveau des dépenses publiques pastorales.28-10-2020: The targeting of reference communes in pastoralism to monitor development did not take place due to the insecurity which handicaps the functioning of most of the reference pastoral communes.No budget increased, it's due to communes planification (every 5 years) Activities are budgeted in a five-year plan (municipal development plan). 04-07-2018: 0= no informationWith the terrorism attack the county faced, all the budget of the department are drastically cut down.

Pastoral communities do not have access to LORP It is the respect and the application of the LORP by the actors. Revised legislative framework is adapted. The objective for us is to arrive at revising the LORP taking into account the concepts specific to CC, gender and decentralization 04-07-2018: Survey are being analysed07-05-2019: The surveys were given to agropastoralists and pastoralists, taking into account the different categories (small, medium and large), and gender (male and female) as well as technical services at rural level in 3 communes of the area intervention of the OSCs. The results indicated that the total average satisfaction rate was 45% (moderate) against a poor level at the reference date in 2016. the quality of support is most appreciated; It gets a score of 3 or 55% (moderate). The results of the survey indicate that for the quantity and timeliness of services, agropastoralists are dissatisfied and judge poor or moderate services with an average score between 2 and 3 (40%). Little effort is made for the development of pastoral infrastructures according to the survey and the average total score is the lowest (2). In 2018, the situation of the infrastructures remained the same in comparison with the reference year.09-04-2020: Pastoral CSOs led the advocacy for the rereading of the LORP throughout the year 2019. They obtained tangible results even if the LORP has not yet been reread. Among others, we can note:   - December 2019, pastoral CSOs negotiated and obtained an agreement in principle to have four (4) representatives on the interministerial review committee of the LORP   - December 2019, a scoping note of the process of rereading the orientation law relating to pastoralism is available thanks to the combined efforts of the DGEAP / MRAH and pastoral CSOsIn view of the advances in advocacy, CSOs hope that the rereading of the LORP will be an asset for the year 2020.28-10-2020: The LORP is being re-read with the establishment of the interministerial technical committee by order of the MRAH.

These will certainly contribute to the inclusion in the implementation of policies, strategies, laws, programs and projects.28-10-2020: The health crisis of covid-19 has not allowed the completion of this activity for the moment. But the DGESS / MRAH has included it in its agenda and also counts on the support of certain projects and programs of the MRAH for this activity.None for the moment It is to evaluate the decrees and decree that are taken by the communities and / or the MRAH with regard to the pastoralism and the breeding in general 04-07-2018: Survey are being analysed28-10-2020: N/A28-10-2020: N/AWith regard to advances in advocacy for CSOs.

The services offered are: Vaccinations, livestock feed, training, drilling, micro-credit, active animal capital, mowing equipment. The overall level of satisfaction (quality, quantity and promptness) with respect to these services is 25% (poor). Some services such as training, active animal capital, do not affect all beneficiaries. Input quality scores are moderate (score = 3) for women, while quality of services is good for men (score = 4). The same score differences were observed for the quality of the equipment (score of 3 for men versus 2 for women). Compared to infrastructure and technical support, the scores are the same for men as for women. The level of satisfaction is very poor in terms of infrastructure (in some cases there are only 2 boreholes and 1 vaccination park for the whole village). Also, the level of satisfaction is poor with regard to technical support. However, in regions covered by CSO projects and initiatives that take gender into account, women's satisfaction level is significantly better than that of men (32% versus 25%, respectively). In these areas, women are accompanied and given sufficient quantities of inputs and are satisfactory in equipment (they report having received sickles from a project, they receive their inputs and veterinary care at the right time (score = 4 ), While men waiting for state funding receive their services late (score = 2) The low presence of state agents is filled by private agents who give appropriate advice to women on mowing and The conservation of forage.Pastoral CSO in collaboration with government, local autorities, and private sectors and donor will work for a better integration of their need and better relevance of services offered to pastoralist and to gender. 16-05-2019: Surveys were conducted with agro-pastoralists and pastoralists, taking into account the different categories (small, medium and large), and gender (men and women) and technical services at the rural level in 3 municipalities in the area. intervention of CSOs.

The survey results indicate that for the quantity and promptness of services, agro-pastoralists are not satisfied and rate poor or moderate services as average scores between 2 and 3 (40%). Few efforts are made for the development of pastoral infrastructure according to the survey and the average total score is the lowest (2). In 2018, the infrastructure situation remained the same compared to the reference year. | 16-05-2019: The surveys were given to agropastoralists and pastoralists, taking into account the different categories (small, medium and large), and gender (male and female) as well as technical services at rural level in 3 communes of the area intervention of the OSCs.

In 2018, the situation of the infrastructures remained the same in comparison with the reference year.The involvement of CSOs in the rural sector in the distribution of inputs will help to improve this rate and, above all, to take into account the most vulnerable young people, women and households through good targeting of beneficiaries. With the mechanism of control of the supply of inputs, delays in distribution, quality problems28-10-2020: In the sample selected for the 2020 field data collection, 73% of respondents assess the quality of the services provided. However, 74% believe that the quantity available does not cover the needs of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists. 68.75% of those interviewed confirm that these services are not often available within the desired timeframe. Overall, 43.42% of the population are satisfied with the services offered by the various providers. The score for M1 is then 3.According to the results of the focus groups and direct observation concted with pastral CSOs the general level of accessibility (physical accessibility and cost) of pastoralists and agropastoralists (including women) to services provided (vaccinations, livestock feed, training, Credit, active animal capital, mowing equipment) is poor (21%). Considered separately, the level of accessibility is unequal, very poor (16%) for men (pastors / agropastors) and poor for women (26%). Women therefore have better access to services: Data collected analyze showed that last year the men received a very insufficient amount (4 tons of SPAI) and were forced to buy the bag at 7500F. Women benefit from better access through the intervention of several partners mainly one of CSO involved in V4C who provide services to members of the groups (young people and the elderly.) In 2016, the price of the sickle was 300 fcFA, which is affordable. Note that equipment and veterinary care are also affordable with a score of 4. As for inputs and technical support, scores are moderate (3) and veterinary care is accessible with a score of 4). Several partners take women and young people into account for the distribution of services. Advocacy actions will be build on Parstoral CSO access to rangelands, pastoral infrastructure, zootechnical services, transhumance certificates. That be possible by a good advocacy and leadership compétences and a strong network. Pastoral CSO will use CRUS, FEB, RECOPA, A2N, A & P, UMPL / B, CPF) in way to increase the level of accessibiliy score 16-05-2019: Surveys revealed a total average access rate of 50%, which is considered moderate. Agropastoralists find the costs of moderate services good (60%). The involvement of CSOs in the rural sector in the distribution of inputs has improved this rate compared to 2016 (reference year where the rate was 21% and especially to work to widen take into account young people, women and men). households most vulnerable through a good targeting of beneficiaries | 16-05-2019: Surveys results showed a total average access rate of 50%, which is estimated to be moderate. Agropastoralists find the costs of the services moderate to good (60%).

With the involvement of civil in the distribution of inputs, there is a more efficient control with more efficiency and less late in the setting up. This affects less the quality of the inputs.28-10-2020: Only 33% of people surveyed find the various services globally accessible in 2020. As a result, the score to be assigned to indicator M2 is 2. However, in terms of technical supervision, on the other hand, 65% of respondents attest to having access. Moreover, most receive between 1 to 5 times the visit of technical officers each year as well as at their request. The concept of services here covers technical support, infrastructure, inputs and equipment.NL-KVK-41152786-1797-2SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationBurkina Faso - Renewable EnergyThrough the ‘Voice for Change Partnership’ (V4CP) programme, SNV works to strengthen civil society organisations (CSOs) in their role as advocates and lobbyists. We work together with IFPRI and over 50 CSOs to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and influence decision-makers with solid and contextualized evidence to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices. For this specific project in Burkina Faso, our advocacy activities focus on Renewable Energy (RE).We aim to improve households’ access to quality RE products and services. This will be achieved through the development and adoption of a better regulation policy of the RE sector by the government; education and training structures for certified training in RE; increased appropriate budgetary allocation by the government and local authorities; and increased commitment from private service providers to offer quality products and services in RE.

They organize their working time better, organise consultations with the members of their organizations member. CSOs build networks outside and within, have greater capacity for listening and analysis. They do not hesitate to take the floor in public to express their interests They are more comfortable in the production of the semi-annual reports, the filling of the logbook, etc. and better document the achievements and changes made in terms of: "Yes for the results of high quality but a little mixed with regard to deadlines. But as for the V4CP program, especially its monitoring evaluation component I fill in the logbook with more ease and more quality and I understand better the system "CSOs self-assessed their advocacy capacities guided by a list of advocacy criteria.confidential04-07-2018: confidentialconfidential07-05-2019: CSO focused on messages in the form of a concept note or policy brief were developed in 2018 based on available information and studies. Communications were also made at workshops by my organizations. All forms of messages included evidence-based information.But advocacy must better take gender into account through messages and the whole of communication for inclusive advocacy.

The Organization accurately distinguishes the types of curricula and repositories according to the ministries and uses the terms appropriately in his speech, which was not the case in 2018. "In 2018 we organized only a session for the benefit of CSOs and mayors at the regional level in which we explained in detail the favourable environment in relation to the theme, stakeholders, policies etc. In 2017 we could not have done so without external support". Need also coaching on gender.CSOs self-assessed their organisational sustainability guided by a list of related criteria.confidentialconfidential07-05-2019: In 2018, CSO focused on writing of projects for financing research and participation in international calls for projects.

The topics discussed were: (1) for effective implementation of energy policy by the me; (2) the policies of the Burkina Faso State in the field of training in er: challenges and opportunities 3) collaboration between CSOs (cnpder-BF) and the State Burkinabé for a better promotion of ER in Burkina Faso 4) the social dimension of ER centrals and projects in West Africa: what approach for a just and sustainable energy transition of ER projects | 07-05-2019: One study has been finalized (an inventory of schools / training centers with a RE curriculum), but the decision has been made to only share the results after the results of the follow-up study (the impact of certified intermediary RE technicians on the RE service quality), expected in Q4 2017. One study has been finalized (an inventory of schools / training centers with a RE curriculum), but the decision has been made to only share the results after the results of the follow-up study (the impact of certified intermediary RE technicians on the RE service quality), expected in Q4 2017. One other study will be conducted in the second half of 2017 on the finance opportunities for schools interested in integrating RE in their curriculum). So 2 evidence briefings targeted in the 2nd half of 201706-12-2018: A study on the mapping of educational and training institutions has been conducted. The study revealed that only 3 vocational schools offer renewable energy courses. A study on funding opportunities for technical or vocational education institutions active or interested in RE training has been conducted. The interesting outcomes of this study include that funding is not the only bottleneck for education institutions to include RE in their programme. There is also a lack of qualified teachers and there is concern if there will be enough demand. The concern on the demand is based on the uncertainty of employment opportunities in the sector. It is a new sector and therefore parents might not want to take the risk to subscribe their children as there is no track record of absorbtion of certified students by the employment market.Following the evidence product of 2017, the identified gap of employment opportunities will be addressed in a study to be conducted in the first half of 2018. A study on the relation between the level of technical education and the quality of RE installation services has been conducted in 2017, hence the final report will be submitted by the consultant in 2018.07-05-2019: 4 policy briefs developed with the CNPDER-BF CSOs and aired at a press conference. The topics discussed were: (1) for effective implementation of energy policy by the me; (2) the policies of the Burkina Faso State in the field of training in er: challenges and opportunities 3) collaboration between CSOs (cnpder-BF) and the Government for a better promotion of ER in Burkina Faso 4) the social dimension of ER centrals and projects in West Africa: what approach for a just and sustainable energy transition of ER projects1) study on the capacity and willingness to buy ER in rural areas; 2) study on costs of developing and implementing a repository in ER; 3) finalization of the study on employment opportunities for young people in rural areas, started in 201810-04-2020: Two planned studies have been completed. These are (i) Study on the costs of developing and implementing a RE benchmark; (ii) Finalization of the study on employment opportunities for young people in RE in rural areas. Three policy briefs were also produced. It's about: - RE and energy efficiency regulation policies: Challenges and urgency. - Collaboration between CSOs (CNPDER-BF) and the State for a better promotion of RE in Burkina Faso. - For an effective implementation of the RE policy by the Ministry of Energy.- Validation of the study on the capacities and the will to acquire quality RE equipment in rural areas;   - The inventory of solar installations in basic social services (health and education).28-10-2020: - As soon as the study was validated on the capacities and willingness to acquire quality RE equipment in rural areas, there was an interview with the press on the results achieved and the brief summary of the study was published on an international site. The study shows that poor quality equipment further impoverishes populations in rural areas. Several actors have called to share the findings of the study with them. - The inventory of solar installations in basic social services (health and education).No portal or website has been made accessible to CSOs of RESNV can make accessible to RE CSO at least 2 portals and web sites through SNVs international network. Challenge will be to find platforms and portals on the theme in french language. 10-01-2018: Language barrier. The local actors (CSOs) don't have sufficient knowledge of english to understand english platforms. No platforms on the subject have been found yet in French.The target for the second half of 2017 has therefor been corrected to 1. Even though it will be difficult we will try find a francophone platform and make it accessible to the CSOs 06-12-2018: IFPRI shared the e-atlas, which has some slight overlap with RE interest, with regard to info on climate change. However, this is not exactly what we need. We did not find a french portal website on Renewable Energy. During the discussion on the 2018 action plan we decided to select, with support from SNV, relevant english articles from portals like Sun-Connect (http://www.sun-connect-news.org/), GOGLA (https://www.gogla.org), GACC (cleancookstoves.org) and translate them in french.We will continue to look for french portal websites (maybe LinkedIn, following the training on social networks during the workshop on capacity development in march).07-05-2019: Power for ALL launched a campaign for jobs in the RE sector. We have made an informal agreement of collaboration to pass the results, minutes and evidences (https://www.powerforall.org/campaigns/poweringjobs)To be identified10-04-2020: - The ECREEE website   - The website of the Ministry of Energy of Burkina Faso   - The World Bank website.- The ECREEE website   - The website of the Ministry of Energy of Burkina Faso   - The World Bank website.28-10-2020: -the ECREEE website - The website of the Burkina Faso energy ministry - The World Bank website. CSOs had access to these sites to download useful information for advocacy, in particular new regulations at the national or sub-regional level, data on the population, etc.Thematic annual advocacy plan developedAnnual advocacy plan has been developedOne annual advocacy will be develop04-07-2018: Annual advocacy plan developped1 annual advocacy plan will be implemented07-05-2019: One annual advocacy plan developed1 advocay plan will be developped in 201910-04-2020: 1 advocay plan has been developped in 20191 advocay plan will be developped in 202028-10-2020: 1 advocacy plan was developped in 2020All three CSOs made an action plan1 activities plan per CSO04-07-2018: All 3 CSOs have developped an activity plan1 activities plan per CSO07-05-2019: One annual plan developed by CSO (3 plans)an action plan will be developed by each CSO10-04-2020: An action plan has been developed by each of the three RE thematic CSOsAn action plan will be developed by each CSO28-10-2020: an action plan was developed by each CSOThe CSOs are not used to meeting the relevant government partners. Or at least, the formal and informal encounters have not been capitalized (no notes, no references) In first half of 2017, at least 12 encounters are planned during workshops and individual meetings (on average 4 per CSO, of which 1 workshops and 3 individual meetings) 06-12-2018: CSO interventions have focused on improving people's access to quality renewable energy services. At the decentralized level, there have been various meetings with regional and local authorities, at the central level, during the various workshops, The Solar Energy Director and other advisors from the Ministry of Energy have been met and an invitation to the National Assembly was received and honored to give feedback on the draft new energy framework law. At the Ouagadougou International Exhibition of Renewable Energies (SIERO), several government players (Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Energy) and the private sector (Lagazel, Speedtech, Voute Nubienne, NafaGaz, Littlesun) were met.Most meetings had an introductory caracter focused on the context analysis and on the objectifs of the advocacy. Follow-up meetings are planned with key actors to deepen the discussions, and meetings with additional actors (especially in the educational sector) are also planned. A detailed document has been elaborated on the planning and approach of meetings with stakeholders. 06-12-2018: "Many relevant meetings with local and regional authorities, with peer CSOs, the private sector, the administrative authorities and the technical services of the Government and Deputies. Some highlights: 1) A meeting at the National Assembly: The CSOs have been invited by the National Assembly to give feedback on the proposed new Energy framework law. 2) A meeting with the Minister of Energy during the signing ceremony of a chart on promoting renewable energy by 19 CSOs. 3) A meeting with the General Director of the Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE), during which he not only expressed his interest to collaborate with the CSOs, but at the same time invited 2 persons to be designed by the coalition to take part in a working group (together with agents of the Ministry of Energy and agents of the Burkinabe Agency of Standards - ABNORM -) on the regulation of the renewable energy sector."Based on the 2018 action plan, meetings are planned with the private sector, decision makers, deputies and CSOs involved in the RE. thematic (including CSO Coalition). In 2018 it will be a question of capitalizing, the good relations built with the Ministry of Energy and putting more emphasis on the political actors in the sector of the professional training15-10-2018: Several types of meetings and interventions (workshops, study trip, training, coaching ...) involving various actors allowed the CSOs to strengthen their alliances with public and private actors and to improve their knowledge on RE policies. The latter in particular related to vocational training in RE, with the concrete outcome of the development of a roadmap towards a coordinated elaboration of curricula. All Government agencies from different Ministries (Basic education / Youth and employment / Energy / Scientific research) that have been more or less working / reflecting on this issue have been involved, as well as a relevant number of identified public and private schools / training centers with activities or interest in the matter. But also in a more general way the CSOs improved their knowledge and reinforced their position as an actor in the sector. A study trip to Benin in company of an agent of the Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE) gave inspiration on the regulation of the electricity sector through meetings with different public and private actors, in particular the agency for controling the quality of electricity installations (CONTRELEC).15 meetings in relation to the action plan, 2 meetings with ANEREE, a television debate and the second CASEM (see E16). The objectives of these meetings are to come to the effective elaboration of RE curricula. Target stakeholders are actors in private sector (energy and education), in the educational sector (including government officials at the relevant Ministries - youth & employment and national education) and the Ministry of Energy. There are two levels of curricula, one for public schools and one for private schools. It is expected that the curricula for private schools / training centers will be easier to finalize as less bureacracy is needed. More in general, the meetings have also the objective to better position the CSO coalition as an influant actor in the sector.07-05-2019: The coalition CNPDER met:-the private companies of ER. A caravan organized to support the promotion of quality solar products through sales exhibitions was carried out by private companies in ER for the benefit of the riparian populations of the non-subdivided area of yamtenga. Several companies have participated in this activity. The meetings with the Ministry of energy focused on taking into account the quality of the products and services in the ER and resulted in the establishment of a roadmap for a better organization of the private actors in ER. -as for MENA, MJIPIF and ME, the issue of vocational training, specifically the development of p and referential curricula in ER, has been at the heart of trade. Thanks to the consultations conducted by the CNPDER with the three ministries, the dialogue between these different actors led to the holding of a high-level Panel followed by firm commitments on theThe CNPDER intends to meet with the ministries (Ministry of energy (ME); Ministry of national education and literacy (MENA), Ministry of youth, training and professional integration (MJFIP), Ministry of environment, green economy and climate change (MEEVCC), Ministry of the economy of finance and development (MINEFID), the Ministry of trade, industry and crafts (MCIA)), private actors in ER and actors in technical and vocational education. The Coalition also intends to follow the different roadmaps.11-10-2019: All the meetings scheduled to be held with the different ministries and the territorial communities were realized. So the 20 meetings according to the target, but the difference between the 13 met mentioned in the logbook and the target is explained by the fact that the CSOs could organize joint meetings with certain actors envisaged. All of its meetings have achieved the following results: (i) More collaboration with the government (working sessions with the Minister of Energy, ANEREE, DGEFTP, (ii) monitor compliance with the commitments made at the high-level panel on 14 December 2018 and (iii) continue to raise awareness and strengthen the capacities of political and administrative authorities at local and central level. Meetings to evaluate the implementation of the roadmap are scheduled for the second half of the year.CSOs intend to continue consultations and awareness-raising of political and administrative authorities at local and central level. A focus will be placed on collaboration with the private sector in the second semester.10-04-2020: The CSOs ER (CNPDER) in their advocacy intensified the meetings with the government and the private sector. These 22 meetings were mainly focused on consultations with the Ministry of Energy (ME), the Ministry of National Education and Literacy (MENA), Ministry of Jenesse, training and professional integration (MJFIP), the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Development (MINEFID). These meetings consisted of monitoring the level of implementation of the commitments made by each institution for the promotion of RE and the training of technicians at intermediate level in RE, the development of curricula and the increase of the budget devoted to RE. These meetings also involved private companies in RE and technical and professional education players so that RE training is effectively integrated into training centers. Local authorities have also been affected so that they take into account RE in their annual investment plans. These are the mayors and presidents of regional councils.CSOs intend to continue consultations and awareness-raising of political and administrative authorities at local and central level. A focus will be on collaboration with the private sector in the first semester. These meetings will consist of monitoring the progress of the issue of regulation with the ANEREE, the state of implementation of the project to open technical establishments in the regions and the participation of CSOs in meetings of adoption of developed curricula.No meeting is planned in the second semester.Number of interventions is total number of interventions, divided by number of CSOsThe CSOs are not used to verbal interventions at relevant encounters. Or at least, the verbal interventions have not been capitalized (no notes, no references) Each of the three CSOs will have at least 1 verbal interventions during workshops / conferences (verbal intervention is presentation, or plenary question). In the first half of 2017 07-12-2018: An intervention took place at a meeting of the "economic development and climate change" commission of the National Assembly to give feedback on the proposed framework law on the energy sector. The intervention was focused on the interests of off-grid households, in particular in terms of access to quality services. 2) During the International Renewable Energy Fair of Ouagadougou, a presentation has been given on the role of CSOs on the development of the energy sector, with V4C as case study. 3) During a regional workshop on decentralized energy access in Bobo with participation of over 10 mayors and regional directors, organized by SNV as part of the SE4ALL project, the issue of service quality and the need for structural intermediate education was raised by V4C partner CSOs 4) During a workshop organized by 1 CSO for one of their projects, attended by 15 CSOs intervening in the energy sector, an intervention has been made on the importance of vocational education in renewable energy in order to regulate the off-grid energy market.Different workshops will be organized, plus possible other opportunities06-12-2018: "All occasions have been seized to make verbal interventions. The occasions vary from local and regional council meetings, to meetings with Deputies from the National Assembly, to workshops organized by the Ministry of Energy or the V4CP programme itself. Some highlights: 1) AGEREF gave feedback on the new energy framework law in front of a working group (Commission for Environment and Climate Change Development) of the National Assembly and some other invited structures such as the National Electricity Company (SONABEL) and a private solar enterprise. A contribution note, aimed at improving the access of the poorest households to the ER, was elaborated by the thematic group and presented and then handed over to the working group. Our intervention was well appreciated and engaged a lifely debate during the session. 2) A presentation was given during the International Fair on Renewable Energy in Ouagadougou (SIERO). 3) AGEREF and OCADES participated in regional and local Council meetings and have stressed the importance of renewable energy targets in decentralized policy. 4) CEAS has made two interventions in presence of the Minister of Energy, one during the signing ceremony of the chart (see explanation at outcome D1), and one during the handing over of the chart to the Minister in presence of a CSO delegation. The Minister confirmed his engagement to collaborate with the coalition by symbolicly co-signing the chart. 5) The CSO coalition was invited and participated in the working group meeting for the regulation of the RE sector and gave their inputs in line with our advocacy theme. 6) The CSO coalition was invited at the launch workshop of ROGEP, a program on off-grid energy access initiated by ECREEE and funded by the WorldBank. We shared our message of the importance of qualified persons to install and especially maintain off-grid RE installations, and thus in the design of the programme. 7) CEAS and SNV participated at a regional workshop i ...Interventions in 2018 will focus mainly on the private sector, the educational sector and the Ministry of Basic Education and the Ministry of Employment and Professional Training15-10-2018: The interventions consisted of sharing the evidence from the studies conducted by the programme and of advocating to take into account the population in rural communities. For example during meetings with WorldBank on the development of their Rural Offgrid Electrification Program (ROGEP), we addressed the importance of qualified technicians in addition to the distribution of RE products. During the meeting with LuxDev on their intention to train the trainers, we stressed the importance of looking further than technicians for large powerplants, but also take into account lower qualifications for household applications. Our comments were well noted and gave room to debate. The target has been over-achieved, because opportunities came up that were not planned (invitations to meetings such as ROGEP and LuxDev)During each meeting verbal interventions will be made.07-05-2019: the interventions were made at all meetings to present the CNPDER, to give the views on the policies and strategies of the ER, the lack of curricula in the field of training in ER, dissemination of evidence, sharing of policy briefs.Follow-up of the road map, dissemination of evidence, presentation of the activities of the CNPDER will be the subject of the main verbal interventions.11-10-2019: During these different meetings mentioned above, CSOs were noted for the quality and the number of interventions. At the advocacy and capacity-building workshop of the 13 Regional Council Presidents (RCPs) in Bobo-Dioulasso, the CSO representative presented the reality of the poor access of the population to energy, the poor quality of services and equipment in RE on the market and expectations of the RE thematic for PCRs. He also challenged the RCPs on the importance of their roles and missions in supporting the advocacy of CSOs during their mandate. In terms of results achieved, RCPs signed the pledge to support advocacy to achieve the expected results.All these meetings will be opportunities for CSOs to support advocacy, disseminate evidence on the state of play of the RE sector and the various recommendations proposed by the Osc on the basis of the evidence collected.10-04-2020: At these various meetings, CSOs stood out for the quality and relevance of their interventions. Indeed, they always build their arguments based on the evidence produced, as well as a critical analysis of the evolution of their advocacy environment. We can cite some relevant examples:  - During the 3 regional fairs for the promotion of quality RE equipment and services successively in Manga, Tenkodogo and Fad N'Gourma, CSOs took the floor to raise awareness on the interest of using RE equipment and services quality through a radio program.  - During the ECOWAS Forum on RE in Accra (Ghana), from October 22 to 24, 2019, CSOs shared their experience of V4CP in Burkina. They clearly displayed their position with regard to the quality of RE equipment in the ECOWAS area. They challenged ECOWAS on the need to better deal with intermediate level training in RE in the ECOWAS region. They participated in the creation of a network of sub-regional CSOs.  - During the follow-up workshop on the implementation of the commitments made by MENAPLN, the MJPEJ, the CSOs presented, in terms of reminders, the commitments made by these two ministries. They also asked the ministries for their update on the state of implementation of these commitments. MENAPLN presented CSOs with the list of curricula already amended in the framework of diploma training in RE, notably the BAC pro and the BEP. The MJPEJ presented the curricula available for qualifying training in RE, in particular BQP and CQP in RE.All these meetings will be opportunities for CSOs to support advocacy, to disseminate evidence on the state of play of the RE sector and the various recommendations proposed by the Osc on the basis of the evidence produced.No meeting is planned in the second semester.Number of evidence based knowledge/research products shared is total number of evidence based knowledge/research products shared, divided by number of CSOsThe CSO have never shared research products Besides 1 study that will be carried out in relation to the project, 1 other evidence based products will be shared by the CSO in the first half of 2017 10-01-2018: One study has been finalized (an inventory of schools / training centers with a RE curriculum), but the decision has been made to only share the results after the results of the follow-up study (the impact of certified intermediary RE technicians on the RE service quality), expected in Q4 2017. One other study will be conducted in the second half of 2017 on the finance opportunities for schools interested in integrating RE in their curriculum). One study has been finalized (an inventory of schools / training centers with a RE curriculum), but the decision has been made to only share the results after the results of the follow-up study (the impact of certified intermediary RE technicians on the RE service quality), expected in Q4 2017. One other study will be conducted in the second half of 2017 on the finance opportunities for schools interested in integrating RE in their curriculum). So 2 evidence briefings targeted in the 2nd half of 201706-12-2018: "The results of the two studies mentioned under indicator B1, and the preliminary results of the study on the relation between the level of technical education and the quality of RE installation services have been shared with participants of two workshops respectively with the private sector and the educational sector. These participants were representing private enterprises and vocational schools. The study report on the mapping has been shared with the Austrian Cooperation who are developing a project on RE training (see indicator D1)."The results of the study on funding opportunities for vocational schools will be shared with the Ministries of Basic Education and of Employment and Professional Training, intentially during a dinner-debate.06-12-2018: The results of the studies on finance opportunities for RE training and on the relation between qualification and service quality have been shared with education sector and with journalistsThe results of the study on funding opportunities for vocational schools will be shared with the Ministries of Basic Education and of Employment and Professional Training, intentially during a dinner-debate.The results of the study visit to Benin will be shared with the government and a study on employment opportunities (currently conducted) will be shared with actors from the public and private sector (including educational sector).07-05-2019: The report of the study trip to Benin was shared with the ANEREE. The study on employment opportunities was carried out but has not yet been validatedThe study on employment opportunities for young people in rural areas will be shared with the various actors in the field11-10-2019: The study on rural youth employment opportunities was finalized and shared during meetings with the different actors in the ER fieldThe study on the financial capacity and willingness of households to pay for quality RE services and equipment will be carried out and shared.10-04-2020: The results of the two studies as well as the three policy briefs were shared with the participants during the various advocacy meetings. The most important meetings during which the evidence was shared are: -Workshop for exchanges with deputies, on 12/20/2019, on the theme: What contributions do deputies make to improving people's access to quality renewable energy services and equipment in Burkina Faso? in Ziniaré - TV show, 12/12/2019 on the impact of poor quality solar energy equipment and services in households, especially in urban and peri-urban areas -The regional fairs of quality RE in Tenkodogo, Manga and Fada N'gourma. -Radio broadcast, 10/14/2019, on the advantages of using quality ER equipment and services at Radio Oméga / Ouagadougou - CNPDER stakeholder forum in Ouagadougou, July 22-23, 2019.- Study on the capacities and willingness to acquire quality RE equipment in rural areas;   - Inventory of solar installations in basic social services (health and education). - Study on the costs of developing and implementing a RE benchmark; - RE and energy efficiency regulation policies: Challenges and urgency. - Collaboration between CSOs (CNPDER-BF) and the State for a better promotion of RE in Burkina Faso. - For an effective implementation of the RE policy by the Ministry of Energy.No meeting is planned in the second semester.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSO has no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSO has regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSO gets opportunity to explain its interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSO’s interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sectorSome of CSO had occasional interactions occasionnelles, and AGEREF even has relevant influence at the Ministry of Environment, but none of the CSOs has had exchanges with relevant government actors on the theme. There are already relations at the regional and national level, that can be profounded with support of the exposure of the V4C project and the success of outcome D. 10-01-2018: Advocay issues were raised at the National Assembly, but we can give the score 1. Even though the CSOs got the opportunity to explain their interests to the National Assembly, not much was done with the inputs of the CSO. Target for 2nd half 2017 is 2, as we count on the increasing openness of the Ministry of Energy towards the CSOs 06-12-2018: The Minister of Energy was the "parrain" of the signing of the Charter in 2017. The coalition of CSOs was selected as a member of the implementation committee of the project 1,500,000 Led Lamps in Burkina Faso. The ER group was heard at the assembly for the examination of the draft law on the general regulation of energy in Burkina. To this end, a contribution note aimed at improving the access of the poorest households to the ER was elaborated by the thematic group and handed over to the CODEC (Commission for Environment and Climate Change Development in Burkina Faso). The CSO coalition has been invited by the Ministry for the adoption of the text relating to the establishment of a Burkina Faso Energy Council ANEREE CSO participates in the working committee on the regulation of the quality of ER products.Workshops are planned with the private sector and will aim to better organize private actors with the involvement of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has specific groups to influence policies. Since private actors are not organized, their concerns are not taken into account during negotiations with the government. The idea is to arrive at a dialogue platform that brings together private actors, government actors and CSOs.15-10-2018: The CSO coalition participates in the commission of supervision and monitoring of the distribution work of the 1,500,000 led lamps in Burkina, in the commission on the standardization of RE equipment and is invited to the General Assembly of the Ministry of Energy (CASEM) twice a year. Today, CSOs are becoming more and more recognized as important actors in the sector. Not all the involvement is directly linked to the advocacy theme, but it's a good sign that the CSOs are getting more notority and are taken more and more serious as stakeholders with a voice.The objective is to get the curricula available, at least the ones for the private education. The CSOs will have contributed a lot to that by bringing different actors together and by bringing up the debate. Policy briefs are also being prepared related to the functioning of the Ministry of Energy and related to vocational training in RE.07-05-2019: 4 workshops held for the Organization of private sector actors for the culmination of their organization. These meetings resulted in the adoption of two roadmaps and two follow-up committees on the implementation of roadmaps. Since April 2018, thanks to the consultations conducted by the CNPDER with the ME; MENA, MJFIP, there is an open debate between these different actors, which led to the holding of a high-level Panel followed by firm commitments on the setting up of a framework for concertation between the three ministries.A follow-up meeting of the roadmap with private ER firms and a meeting with private professional education actors in order to achieve business commitment to ER service and product standards and commitment of the education sector for the implication of the curricula in ER11-10-2019: There is effective and active participation of ministries (ME, MENAPLN, MJPEJ) through frank exchanges and communications. The CSO recommendations are taken into account by the ministries concerned in the activities. The energy minister has suggested the development of a memorandum of understanding between his ministry and CSOs and the follow-up for the implementation of this memorandum of understanding is expected in the second half of the year. The Directorate General of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (DGEFTP) has also confirmed that the curricula for ER training (BQP, CAP) are available. These trainings will be offered at the next school year. The first ER pupil promotion will start in October 2019 at the Dori vocational school."The second semester will be devoted more to strengthening collaboration with the private sector in order to increase their commitment to offer quality services and equipment. The assessment of the road map of the high-level panel will be carried out in December 2019 . The second semester will also be devoted to the development of the MoU with the Ministry of Energy, in particular with the Minister's Director of Cabinet. "10-04-2020: The private and public actors involved in the supply of qualifying training were affected by the advocacy. In fact, the process of adopting the curricula by the MJPEJ and the MENAPLN has been accelerated. Similarly, the Council of Ministers of November 13, 2019 issued a decree adopting the statutes of the National Agency for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE). This decree clarifies the role of the ANEREE in relation to the general directorates of the Ministry of Energy, which enables it to be operational in the area of regulation of the sector.CSOs will continue to advocate for the development of other RE curricula in addition to those already developed. CSOs will monitor the implementation of commitments made by the various stakeholders.No meeting is planned in the second semester.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, government and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests For the moment there is little cooperation between CSO's, Government and private sector With different workshops, the CSOs try to get the 3 sectors together. This depends on the success of outcome D 07-12-2018: "CSOs have improved their collaboration with the Government, (in particular ANEREE) and have extended their network of public actors, taking into account the development of curricula, involvement of the Ministries of Education and of Youth & Employment, who had not been involved at the beginning of the process. CSOs have taken the lead in bringing different structures together who were all to some extend working on RE curricula. The CSOs have strengthened collaboration with the private sector (Associations, RE service providers). A particular promising new partnership is with the Association for Energy Efficiency (ABAPEE), composed of a range of individuals mainly from private sector and University. They are well connected to the Ministry of Energy (the Minister is a former colleague of the president of the association). They will become member of the coalition. "Target for 2nd half 2017 is 1, as with different workshops we will try to create a more regular and structural collaboration06-12-2018: The workshops, meetings and other frameworks allowed the CSOs to set up fruitful collaboration frameworks ("parrainage" of the Minister of Energy for the signing of the Charter, meeting with elected officials, etc.). The coalition became a member of the working committee on ER market regulation (product quality)In the first half of 2018, important steps have to be made to come to the creation of a multi-sector platform with participants of CSO, Gvt, the educational sector and the private sector in the second half of 2018. These steps include getting a "critical mass" of private actors and educational actors, and getting more feet on the ground at the Ministries of Basic Education and Employment & Professional Training.15-10-2018: CSOs have improved their collaboration with the Government, (in particular ANEREE) and have extended their network of public actors, taking into account the development of curricula, involvement of the Ministries of Education and of Youth & Employment, who had not been involved at the beginning of the process. CSOs have taken the lead in bringing different structures together who were all to some extend working on RE curricula. The CSOs have strengthened collaboration with the private sector (Associations, RE service providers). A particular promising new partnership is with the Association for Energy Efficiency (ABAPEE), composed of a range of individuals mainly from private sector and University. They are well connected to the Ministry of Energy (the Minister is a former colleague of the president of the association). They will become member of the coalition.Target stays the same. The objective is to jointly work on the new curricula, and have at least the ones for the private education available at the end of the period. A multi-actor panel is planned in the second half of the year and follow-up on the roadmap for the curricula will be done. More attention will also be given to the private sector07-05-2019: In 2018, collaboration increased with government actors and the private sector: on 06 April 2018 in Ouagadougou, during a meeting, the OSCs Coalition (CNPDER) was invited by the National Agency for renewable energy and efficiency (ANEREE) to be part of the RE Curriculum Development Committee already in place. lEn April 2018 in Koudougou, CSOs V4CP in synergy with the technical and vocational training actors developed a roadmap for the development of a curriculum and for the insertion of a RE-channel in technical establishments and professionals on 3 and 4 July 2018, the CNPDER and private sector actors developed a roadmap for better organization of private sector actors in RE to provide better quality equipment and servicesAdvocacy actions will focus on MINEFID, ANEREE, ME, MJFIP, MENA, ABNORM to strengthen collaboration on the integration of RE streams in technical and vocational training11-10-2019: Advocacy actions have been focused on the National Agency for Renewable Energy and Efficiency (ANEREE), the Ministry of Energy (ME), the Ministry of Youth, Training and Professional Integration. (MJFIP), the Ministry of National Education, Literacy and Promotion of National Languages ​​(MENAPLN), the Regulatory Authority of the Electricity Sub-Sector (ARSE) and the private sector. These actions have made it possible to reinforce collaboration on the integration of RE sectors into technical and vocational training and to call on the private sector to provide quality equipment. This collaboration has materialized notably through the involvement of CSOs in the activities of the ministries concerned (SEERA, CASEM, etc.) and the willingness of the Ministry of Energy to have a memorandum of understanding with CSOs.The CSOs will ensure the effectiveness of the memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Energy and the CSOs. The monitoring committee will also ensure compliance with the commitments made by the regional council presidents (PCR). The ER group will continue to refine its approach with the private sector in order to strengthen their collaboration. In this sense, the planned study on the financial capacity and willingness of households to pay for quality RE services and equipment will be evident in convincing the private sector more to offer quality services and equipment.10-04-2020: During the second half of 2019, collaboration between CSOs, government and the private sector strengthened. CSO advocacy actions led the Minister of Energy to propose the establishment of a collaboration protocol between the Ministry of Energy and CSOs. In the private sector, collaboration is real with the establishments offering technical training in RE, as shown by their participation in the meeting held in Koudougou on the follow-up of the roadmap with the actors of technical and professional training for promotion. intermediate level training in Renewable Energy.The memorandum of understanding with the ME will be a reality in the first half of 2020. Consultations will also continue with the structures in charge of RE training and the state services in charge of regulation for the effectiveness of regulation and compliance of training centers with official curricula. The planned study on the financial capacity and willingness of households to pay for quality RE services and equipment will be used as evidence to further convince the private sector to offer quality services and equipment.No meeting is planned in the second semester.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible optionsThe first sign of accountability mechanisms towards the CSOs ER was the invitation of 13 CSO to the validation workshop of the SE4ALL action plan thanks to the mediation of the SNV in the framework of the project OSC / SE4ALL. The SE4ALL project of SNV with partly the same CSOs will contribute to the accountability mechanism in 2017, s well at the level of the Ministry of Energy as well at local/regional level. During 2017, several workshops will be visited / organised which will increase the credibility of CSOs. So the groundwork will be done in 2017 for the score expected to increase in 2018. 04-07-2018: "After having contacted a deputy and explained the V4C programme, the CSOs have been invited for a hearing by the National Assembly on the newly developed energy framework law. After having met de Director of the National Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE) with a delegation of the national coalition of CSOs promoting renewable energy (CNPDER), he invited the coalition to design two representatives to join a commission for RE market regulation. Following the signature of the chart forming the CNPDER, the Director of Energy Efficiciency, invited the coalition to be part of the monitoring commission of the project of distributing 1,5 million LED-lamps."In 2017, the consultations from the Government were still ad-hoc. However in 2018, we will try to establish a formalized quarterly meeting with ANEREE. We also hope the membership of the commission on RE market regulation to be formalized in 2018 and to seize the momentum that the CNPDER currently has, to get structurally being informed and consulted by the Ministry of Energy.07-05-2019: In terms of accountability, by setting our objectives, it was the ANEREE that was targeted but the structure has undergone a stir. However, the CNPDER is an observer member of the Board of Directors of the Ministerial sector (CASEM) of the Ministry of energy (ME) and has participated in two frameworks. At the local level, CSOs are members of four regional (CCR) and provincial (CCP) frameworks (CCR Cascades, CCP Comoé, CCR Boucle du Mouhoun and CCP Mouhoun)The OSCs will reinforce their position as an observer in the ME's CASSEM and seek to be invited to the MENA and MJFIP CASSEM. They also hope that their involvement in these frameworks at the local level, and in four consultations frameworks (CCR Cascades, CCP comoé, CCR BMH and CCP MH) will allow them to take into account the preocuppations. The consultations conducted by the CNPDER with the ME, MENA and MJFIP will lead to the strengthening of the dialogue between the three ministries and the CNDPER; lead to the implementation of the firm commitments made by these actors and with a change in the level of practices and policies.10-04-2020: CSOs have been invited by ME to participate in CASEM. At several exchange meetings, the three ministries (ME, MJPEJ, MENAPLN) take stock of the developments recorded for achieving the advocacy objectives. CSOs also participated in consultation frameworks at the local level. In the four consultation frameworks (CCR Cascades, CCP Comoé, CCR BMH and CCP MH), CSOs were once again able to raise their concerns so that they were taken into account in development programs at local level. The consultations carried out by CSOs with ME, MENA, MJFIP, resulted in the strengthening of the dialogue between the three Ministries and the CNDPER.The CSOs will strengthen their position as observers at the CASEM of the ME and will seek to be invited to the CASEM DU MENA and the MJFIP. They also hope that their involvement in these frameworks at the local level, and in four consultation frameworks (CCR Cascades, CCP Comoé, CCR BMH and CCP MH) will enable them to take account of the concerns. The consultations planned by the CNPDER with the ME, MENA, MJFIP, will lead to the strengthening of the permanent dialogue between the three Ministries and the CNDPER; lead to the implementation of firm commitments made by these actors and with a change in practices and policies.28-10-2020: In terms of accountability mechanisms, the MOE involves CSOs on several levels. Indeed, CSOs are involved in the formulation, adoption, implementation and monitoring of energy policies. This involvement led to the drafting and adoption of the benchmark at the sector level, which is the strategy in the energy sector that covers the period 2019-2023. CSOs also participate in the Boards of Directors of the Energy Sector (CASEM). The CASEM is a framework for exchanges and validation of planning documents such as the Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB), PTBA activity reports. These CASEMs are held twice a year. The Ministry of Energy involves CSOs through the semi-annual review of Sectoral Frameworks for Industrial and Artisanal Transformation Dialogue (CSD-TIA). Indeed, decree n ° 2017-0004 / PRES / PM / MINEFID establishing, attributions, organization and functioning of the monitoring and evaluation system of the National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES) provides in its article 5 for into account of civil society. Likewise, the Week of Renewable Energies and Energies of Africa (SEERA), an international forum organized every year by the Ministry of Energy, this forum which brings together several participants including CSOs, the private sector, technical and financial partners, was in its third edition in 2019. The fourth edition was scheduled for April 2020 but the context of COVID 19 forced the ministry to postpone the event for 2021. In addition, in the promotion of RE, the ME uses several communication tools, to reach the greatest number of targets. This communication takes place through urban and local radios (Advertisements or broadcast), Televisions, both private and national (Citizen Dialogue), social networks (Facebook) or the written press (Newspapers). In addition to these tools, the institution has made the Energy Code available since January 2019. This is a document edited by the Ministry of Energy with the support of the Electri ...The data on this indicator will be collected using the policymaker rating tool. For each individual policy or decision maker the score for support will be determined. confidentialconfidential04-07-2018: confidentialconfidential07-05-2019: The evaluation of political will concerned 5 institutions namely ministries and not Ministers. It was the Ministry of energy (ME), the Ministry of environment and climate change (MEEVCC), the Ministry of national education and literacy (MENA), the Ministry of youth of training and professional integration (MJFIP), the National Assembly (CODECC). Of the five institutions, four support the topic. This is the ME, the MJFIP, the MENA and the year who get an average score of 3 for their support to the topic.The Ministry of energy Gets a score of 3 for its support to the theme through the promotion of RE Equipment. Also, it has set up through the ANEREE, a Committee for the development of curricula in ER; installed 368049 led lamps in households at national level; In 2017, the Minister of energy was assessed. He had scored 2 in relation to his support for the theme. This Minister has left, and this has not allowed to measure the change at his level in 2018. Men move a lot in their positions. So we preferred to evaluate the institutions. The MENA obtains a score of 3: in 2018, the MENA has been sent to training in Tunisia in the field of ER, 5 pupils intermediate level professors who will benefit from this training until 2020 and be integrated into the vocational training centres. The Ministry of vocational training: its score for support is also estimated at 3, as it expresses an interest in these issues, through its Directorate of vocational training and the national employment agency which have publicly acknowledged during a televised debate that the lack of curricula and repositories is a problem in technical and vocational training at the intermediate level in the RE. The three directorates ME, MENA and MJFIP have firmly committed to a large Assembly and to the media to support advocacy and to set up an inter-departmental Coalition to advance the issue of vocational training. In 2018, the National Assembly multiplied the actions to support the ...advocacy will intensify with the three ministries in order to implement their commitments for the implementation of the inter-ministerial consultation framework; and also to the place of the Association Burkinabè de Normalisation (ABNORM) which had a good policy of popularization of standards in ER in 2018. Advocacy will also continue with the National Assembly10-04-2020: - ME: The ME through the ANEREE led the training project for 5000 young people in RE in 2019. The ME participated in the process of adopting the curricula in RE. - MJPEJ: He developed the curricula (BQP and CQP) in installing solar electricity. - MENAPLN: He developed the curricula (BEP and BAC Pro) in renewable energy. -13 Presidents of Regional Councils (PCR): They are committed to supporting the advocacy of CSOs to national authorities in favor of RE training. - National Assembly through the Commission for Rural Development, the Economy and Climate Change (CDRECC): the deputies undertook to challenge the ME through oral communications and the passing of laws in favor of promoting intermediate training in ER. - The Mayor of Banfora: The mayor plans to set up a vocational training center which will take into account the ER sector.CSOs count on political support from authorities at national and local level. These are the ME, the MJPEJ, the MENAPLN, 13 PCR, AN (CDRECC), the Mayor of Banfora.28-10-2020: - The Ministry of Energy: On July 3, 2020, the ME through ANEREE carried out the symbolic delivery of training certificates to beneficiaries of the Training Project of 5,000 young people in solar energy. A total of 5,243 young people were trained from October 2019 to January 2020, across the 13 regions of Burkina Faso. On July 3, 2020, the ME launched in Ouagadougou, the Solar Cluster, an "Ecosystem of solar professions" whose objective is to organize and federate players in solar energy and energy efficiency in Burkina Faso. On August 11, 2020, the ME hosted the Veneg-Sonré program on Savane FM, in the Mooré language on the central theme: "solar energy in Burkina Faso (in town and in the countryside), advantages and disadvantages (high cost)" . - MENAPLN: The Ministry of National Education and the Promotion of Local Languages ​​has also developed a policy for the professional integration of the young layer for which it is responsible. To this end, it counts on the availability of internal skills in the RE sector. In terms of access to quality service, the institution has diversified vocational training centers in RE and created specific courses in training centers (Ziniaré reference center). As a prospect, the institution intends to write other professional training standards and review existing ones for better quality training. - The MJPEJ: The Ministry of Youth and the Promotion of Youth Entrepreneurship through its General Directorate of Technical and Vocational Education and Training offers RE training services. Under the reforms, it should be noted that the institution has not made any notable reforms in terms of RE. However, some actions have been taken. It's about : • To work in synergy of action with ANEREE to make available a list of quality solar equipment and materials; • Development of a quality benchmark with professionals to better adapt training; In perspective, the institution plans to open renewable energy sectors in the various ...Currently, there is no certification mechanism, except for the biogas sector, which is already well regulated and therefor we don't think it's relevant to take that sector into account. It's not realistic that during this year certification standards will be applied by the government. This is an outcome for the long term 04-07-2018: Certifying ER companies and technicians is one of the challenges of the Burkinabe government. The certification mechanism is being developed by the government, and the CSOs are engaged in this process through their participation in the commission on market regulation (see explanation indicators E1, F1 and G1). But as long as there is no certification standard, we will not have any result for this indicator.It is not realistic that certification will be implemented in 2018, although actions in the right direction are undertaken by the government07-05-2019: There is not yet a certification in ERThe certification process is not yet operational10-04-2020: The certification process is still under development.The certification process is not yet operational28-10-2020: Competences in matters of certification have just been granted to ANEREE. Durant, 2020, the institution devoted itself to the operationalization of the certification process. However, the process is not yet complete.There is no budget planned for education in RE nor by the ministry of energy nor by the ministry of secondary education. This is an outcome for the long term. Results expected from 2019 04-07-2018: As vocational training in ER is not yet on the agenda, no budget yet for it. For the moment we didn't do any activities related to this outcome. Reason for that is that we first need to convince the relevant ministries (basic education and/or employment and professional training) on developing a curriculum, before it makes sense to advocate for a budget.As this is a long term objectif it might not be realistic yet to achieve a result in 2018. A result in 2019 (for the 2020 budget) looks realistic.30-04-2019: The institutional inking of the vocational training component is very vague: the short-term trainings are the responsibility of MENA, the training in the trades is the responsibility of the MJFIP and the training of the higher cycle and the Organization of the sector RE return to the ME. At the MENA level, for example, the budget allocated for vocational training is presented in a comprehensive way for all the sectors so that it is not possible to know the share of the budget allocated to the RE.In the face of this complexity which does not allow to extract the share of the budget devoted to training in RE, we decided to make a qualitative follow-up of investments for vocational training in RE. An example is the introduction of a BACpro training in solar energy in a pilot school (in Dori), which indicates that a budget is earmarked (of which one does not know the height), which shows that efforts are made in terms of budget allocation , which is a positive resultThere is no budget planned for education in RE by local authorities This is an outcome for the long term. Results expected from 2019 04-07-2018: As vocational training in ER is not yet on the agenda, no budget yet for it. For the moment we didn't do any activities related to this outcome. Reason for that is that we first need to convince the relevant ministries (basic education and/or employment and professional training) on developing a curriculum, before it makes sense to advocate for a budget.As this is a long term objectif it might not be realistic yet to achieve a result in 2018. A result in 2019 (for the 2020 budget) looks realistic.No expenditures for education in RE nor by the ministry of energy nor by the ministry of secondary education. This is an outcome for the long term. Results expected from 2019 04-07-2018: As vocational training in ER is not yet on the agenda, no expenditures yet on it. For the moment we didn't do any activities related to this outcome. Reason for that is that we first need to convince the relevant ministries (basic education and/or employment and professional training) on developing a curriculum, before it makes sense to advocate for a budget.no budget, so not realistic that there will be expenses07-05-2019: The institutional inking of the vocational training component is very vague: the short-term trainings are the responsibility of MENA, the training in the trades is the responsibility of the MJFIP and the training of the higher cycle and the Organization of the sector RE return to the ME. At the MENA level, for example, the budget allocated for vocational training is presented in a comprehensive way for all the sectors so that it is not possible to know the share of the budget allocated to the RE. Faced with this complexity which does not allow to extract the part of the budget devoted to training in RE, we decided to make a qualitative follow-up of investments in favour of vocational training in RE. An example is the introduction of a BACpro training in solar energy in a pilot school (in Dori), which indicates that a budget is earmarked (of which one does not know the height), which shows that efforts are made in terms of budget allocation , which is a positive resultNo known expenditures for education in RE by local authorities.

The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. No legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines exists, or existing/new suggested legislative framework is detrimental to issue 1. A new/adjusted legislative framework is considered 2. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been drafted 3. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR framework detrimental to issue has been prevented 4. New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedA framework regulating secondary technical education exists but is not specific to ER Progress in previous outcomes will lead to progress in adaptong vocational training policies 04-07-2018: A new law regulating the energy sector including REs has been developed and adopted by the government. This law has extended the tasks of the Regulatory Authority of the Electricity Sector (adopted, but for the moment only partly applied). The law doesn't mention anything on vocational training.With the advocacy activities towards the authorities responsible for vocational training and this in collaboration with the CNPDER and the Ministry of Energy as our allies, by the end of the year there should be a draft policy document on the introduction of an RE curriculum at secondary school level.07-05-2019: This indicator is related to vocational and technical education. A repository in BAC Pro in solar energy has been validated and will be implemented from the 2019-2020 school year. It is difficult to say at what level the V4CP program has contributed to this result. However, the Ministry of national education and literacy (MENA) is beginning to motivate more motivation to develop training in ER, thanks to the activities of V4CP (TV debate, high level Panel, meetings with other actors who work in isolation, etc.)The BAC Pro in solar energy will be applied in September 2019. The construction of 45 colleges of education and technical and vocational training due to a College in each province in progress, as well as the construction of 13 vocational high schools in order to equip each region of a secondary school are actions that professional education politic.10-04-2020: The professional BAC in renewable energy is open at the Idrissa Yaya Regional Professional High School in Dori for the 2019-2020 school year. The ME through the ANEREE conducted training and support for the professional integration of five thousand (5,000) young people including 2,500 women in the fields of solar energy and energy efficiency (EE).The adoption of BEP's curricula in RE in 2019 was effective. We hope that the sector will be set up in 2020 and that the other curricula already developed will be adopted.28-10-2020: The adoption of the Professional Studies Brevet (BEP) curricula in RE in 2019 was effective. The sector was set up in 2020 and the other curricula were adopted, namely the Professional Aptitude Certificate (CAP) and the BAC. They will be used for the 2020-2021 school year.We use ‘scoring rubric’ as method. The below list unpacks the indicator and defines multiple levels of success: 0. No legislative framework in the form of policies, laws, standards, regulations and/or guidelines exists, or existing/new suggested legislative framework is detrimental to issue 1. A new/adjusted legislative framework is considered 2. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been drafted 3. A new/adjusted legislative framework has been adopted but not applied or enforced, OR framework detrimental to issue has been prevented 4. New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforcedA tax exemption law is operational, but not related to any form of certification / regulation. Progress in previous outcomes will lead to progress in regulation of RE sector 04-07-2018: A new law regulating the energy sector including REs has been developed and adopted by the government. This law has extended the tasks of the Regulatory Authority of the Electricity Sector (adopted, but for the moment only partly applied). Even though the CSOs have been heared by the National Assembly before having voted the law, none of the inputs given by the different stakeholders (besides the CSO also the national electricity company, private actors, etc.) have been taken into account. But despite that, the framework law is an improvement, as it opens up the energy market. Concerning the particular case of regulation policies, the CNPDER is part of a working group working on the details for this part of the law that is not yet in application.Even though the CSOs are engaged in the working group and hence have some influence on the content of the decrees to be developed, it is very difficult to influence the speed, which is completely in the hands of the Government. The target of 4 is therefore based on hope, rather than rational analysis, which is very difficult to estimate.07-05-2019: There is a new law AN/2017/014 on the general regulation of the energy sector in Burkina Faso since 2017, but in the implementation there is an ingrowth of clarification of roles within the Government, notably between the Burkinabè Agency of the Standardization (ABNORM) and the National Agency for renewable energies and energy efficiency (ANEREE). There is no mention of vocational training in the law.This indicator is linked to policies on the regulation of the RE sector in General. It takes into account issues of taxation, certification and quality for example. ANEREE is progressing in the regulation of the ER sector and energy efficiency, but is slowed down by internal tensions. Also projects of regulation of the sector namely: the project of standardization of the market of the ER; the project for the certification of actors in RE is hampered by a conflict of mandate and objectives in terms of standardization between two State structures (ABNORM and ANEREE)10-04-2020: Burkina Faso has marked great progress in terms of policies on the regulation of the RE sector in general. Indeed, the Council of Ministers of November 13, 2019 issued a decree adopting the statutes of the National Agency for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE). The adoption of this decree allows the ANEREE to comply with law n ° 014-2017 / AN of April 20, 2017 on general regulations for the energy sector and the regulatory provisions on public establishments in the State in providing this structure with management bodies to carry out its missions. The ANEREE through this decree is officially instituted as the structure in charge of the questions of taxation, certification and quality. This decree comes to definitively resolve the conflict of mandate and objectives in terms of standardization and regulation between state structures (ANEREE, ABNORM, DGER, DGEE). As a result, there should be a significant advance in 2020 in the process of regulation and standardization of the RE market.We hope that all the decrees of application of the law n ° 014-2017 / AN of April 20, 2017 relating to general regulation of the energy sector and to the regulatory provisions on the public establishments of the State will be taken in order to make operational sector regulation.28-10-2020: We can also note the following texts adopted in 2019 and 2020: - Adoption in September 2019 of the decree on the Interministerial Directory of State Professions, a decree which specifies specific jobs including that specific to RE; - Interministerial Order N ° 2020-033 / ME / MINEFID / MCIA on the condition of eligibility and terms of enjoyment of exemption from value added tax on imports and sales of solar equipment. There are also draft texts in preparation or in the process of adoption: - A draft decree on the modality of control and conformity tests of solar and electric components, devices and equipment - A draft order fixing the list of components, devices, solar and electrical equipment subject to control and compliance tests in Burkina Faso. - Draft decree on the exemption of solar material and equipment in Burkina Faso.Currently there are no vocational policies developed, adopted or implemented concerning RE It is not realistic to get a change already in 2017, because the process is long and complex. First results expected in 2018 04-07-2018: There has been no evolution in 2017 in terms of vocational policies. The focus of the advocacy has been on the Ministry of Energy, who has become an ally. During 2018, much more focus will be put on the ministries responsible for vocational training.The development of a policy for RE vocational training is realistic, though the development, adoptation and implementation in one year doesn't seem realistic.07-05-2019: There are not yet policies adopted and implementedThe BAC Pro in solar energy will be implemented in 2019.10-04-2020: The BAC pro in solar energy has been operational in Burkina Faso since September 2019.We hope that all the decrees implementing law n ° 014-2017 / AN of April 20, 2017 on the general regulation of the energy sector and the regulatory provisions on public establishments of the State will be taken in 2020.28-10-2020: The implementing decrees relating to vocational training in RE in Law No. 014-2017 / AN of April 20, 2017 have not yet been issued.Currently there are no regulations developed, adopted or implemented It is unrealistic to plan an objective for 2017, given the complexity of the process. Results expected from 2018 04-07-2018: A new law regulating the energy sector including REs has been developed and adopted by the government. This law has extended the tasks of the Regulatory Authority of the Electricity Sector (adopted, but for the moment only partly applied)See the comment on KL1b, we hope to get an application decree on market regulation through in 2018, though it's difficult to influence the speed of the working group.07-05-2019: .Several regulatory projects initiated in 2018 at the ANEREE level (the ER market standardization project; project for the certification of actors in er), but not implemented because the Committee that worked on Standardization suspended its work because of internal conflict at the level of the GovernmentIn 2019, advocacy activities will focus on the adoption and effective implementation of the various regulatory projects in the sector. This will lead to the resumption of standardization work by the Committee and the taking of a decree of application. The establishment of a framework for stakeholder consultation, piloted by the ANEREE, will be an opportunity for the Coalition to integrate into this framework and to advocate for a conciliation the visions of the actors on the regulation of the sector10-04-2020: No new regulation was developed, adopted or implemented in 2019. However, the adoption of the decree adopting the statutes of the National Agency for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE), confirms this institution in its role regulation of the RE sector.The institutional framework responsible for implementing the regulatory measures is not yet operational. As a result, no regulatory measures have yet been taken. We hope that this framework will be functional in 2020.28-10-2020: Interministerial Order N ° 2020-033 / ME / MINEFID / MCIA on the condition of eligibility and terms of enjoyment of exemption from value added tax on imports and sales of solar equipment. RE CSOs aroused reflections on the issue of RE sector regulation, organized actors around the issue and created synergy between actors. The CSOs through a press conference drew the attention of the Ministry of Energy to the need to clarify the missions of ANEREE and the general directorates of the ME with respect to those of ABNORM. CSOs organized a national forum to reflect on the operationalization of RE regulation.Existence of APER Burkina, an association of solar enterprises, with 2 GA held, 4 commissions set up but not functional. That is to say that the association exists on paper, but has no relevant activities Through the advocacy actions that will involve the 3 CSOs and their networks, the private sector will be better organized and functional. The workshop regrouping the most relevant private actors in RE will be a first step towards better organisation.04-07-2018: The private sector working in the ER sector is not yet organized. APER exists, but has not been visible in the field during the whole of 2017. In fact, many initiatives on forming professional RE associations have failed over the years, in most cases as a result of leadership problems. Our strategy has gone in the same direction as we organized the CSOs, namely the signature of a chart, stating the engagement of the signatories in providing quality ER services and products. So the signatories of the chart don't have to be organized obligatory in a formal association. A first workshop with a number of private sector actors has taken place in 2017. In 2018, the objectif is to develop a chart in collaboration with them.By having signed a chart by a criticl mass of private actors, they probably might not be pro-active, but we expect to use this chart as a means of support in our advocacy. And we expect at least some of the signatories to actively support the advocacy.07-05-2019: the private sector is organized around a road map and participates in the activities of the CNPDER. There is already a professional association of solar energy companies that exists mainly on paper. In addition, many of them target the tender markets and not necessarily the market of rural households and SMEs. Subscribers to the roadmap are more geared towards the latter market.Advocacy efforts will be strengthened at the private sector level through the implementation of the roadmap; This will promote a better private sector organization, which will be active.10-04-2020: Advocacy actions in 2019 strongly involved the private sector actors in charge of vocational training. They themselves recognized the need to better organize the actors. They joined forces with CSOs to advocate with the relevant ministries for the development of RE curricula and their operationalization. They also made a commitment to integrate the ER sectors into their training packages in accordance with the curricula which will be made available by the competent ministry.Advocacy in 2020 will be directed towards finalizing RE curricula at the level of ministries and their consideration by the private sector. Likewise, CSOs will insist with the ANEREE for the application of RE market regulation measures for the organization of RE service providers.28-10-2020: The private sector has a consultation framework. This is the Association of Renewable Energy Professionals of Burkina (APER / Burkina). However, it is clear that this structure is not yet active in the field. Also, on July 3, 2020 in Ouagadougou took place the establishment of solar clusters by the Ministry of Energy in order to facilitate the regulation of the RE market. Clusters are effective means of bringing together the actors of the RE sector chain (importers, distributors, service providers, consumers) including the private sector.The domain of RE is not taken into account by the educational organizations/syndicats that exist (state organization through regional, provincial and communal departments). It will be through the advocacy to facilitate in the first stage the organization of the education sector with respect to renewable energy. During a workshop in 2017, an important number of educational structures showing interest in RE education will be brought together which might be a first step in facilitating those structures to organize themselves 04-07-2018: We organized a meeting with a number of actors of the educational sector. We felt significant interest in creating a vocational training program on RE. However, we also realized that it will be difficult to bring these schools / training centers together in an organized association or other structure. We will follow the same strategy as for the private sector described under O1.By having signed a chart by a criticl mass of private actors, they probably might not be pro-active, but we expect to use this chart as a means of support in our advocacy. And we expect at least some of the signatories to actively support the advocacy.07-05-2019: the technical and vocational education sector is organized around a roadmap, initiated by the CSOs of V4CP, and participates in the activities of the CNPDER. There are quite a few actors (Ministry of basic education (MENA), Ministry of youth (MJFIP), Institute of scientific research (IRSAT), ANEREE, etc.) who have initiatives in the context of training in ER, but they all worked in isolation. V4CP's activities have helped to put the actors together.Advocacy will be strengthened at the level of the education sector through the implementation of the roadmap; This will promote a better organization of the education sector, including more collaboration between MENA and MJFIP.10-04-2020: Advocacy actions have intensified in the education sector thanks to the implementation of the roadmap; This enabled better collaboration between the three ministries in the development of curricula. At all the advocacy meetings, the three ministries were present and permanently updated the CSOs on the state of implementation of commitments for a better organization of technical training in RE.Advocacy actions will be strengthened at the private sector level for the effective implementation of the roadmap; this will promote better organization of the private sector, in charge of technical training in RE.28-10-2020: No particular organization was noted at the level of technical training centers. However, they are taken into account in the solar clusters set up on July 3, 2020 in Ouagadougou by the Ministry of Energy in order to facilitate the regulation of the RE market. As a result, they will be able to voice their concerns and have them taken into account in government policies and actions.There is the Permanent Secretariat of CSOs (SPONG), which includes all the CSOs in the country. Their influence is moderate, but their focus is not on renewable energy. The majority of members are in the fields of agriculture / health and so onThrough the advocacy actions that will involve the 3 CSOs and their networks, civil society through the SPONG will be better organized and influential. The workshop regrouping the moste relevant CSOs in RE in Burkina will be a first step towards better organisation04-07-2018: In August 2017, 19 CSOs have signed a chart and so formed a coalition of CSO promiting renewable energy (CNPDER). This coalition has been the fruit of activities under 3 different projects. First of all the DGIS funded "engaging civil society in SE4ALL" project, implemented in Burkina Faso by SNV, had resulted in the mapping of CSOs in Burkina Faso with an energy focus. Secondly, the project « Accélérer l'application des politiques régionales sur l'énergie propre en Afrique de l'Ouest (ACE-WA) », financed by the Danish organizations Sustainable Energy and INFORCE, and implemented by the V4CP partner CEAS, started working with these CSOs for the implementation of this (advocacy) project. When looking for synergies, the idea was born to more or less formalize the collaboration between the CSOs by the signature of a chart. The V4CP CSOs have taken the lead in realizing this, and the event of the signature of the chart, in presence of the Minister of Energy (who also co-signed) has been organized and financed by V4CP. Even though the coalition is not formally recognized in the sense of being registered, it has been recognized through the signature of the Minister of Energy on the chart.The internal organisation of the coalition will be improved and strategies will be developed to make the coalition sustainable (currently, activities and functioning depend fully on ACE-WA and V4CP)07-05-2019: The CNPDER is active and participates in the national and local concentration frameworks in the field of RE. It is also consulted on draft laws in the RE.The CNPDER intends to open new members in 2019.10-04-2020: The coalition of RE CSOs (CNPDER) opened to new members in 2019. During the CNPDER-BF stakeholder forum held on July 22, 2019 in Ouagadougou, 10 new CSOs signed the CNPDER charter. The total number of CNPDER members has increased to 29 CSOs. In 2019, the other members of the coalition actively participated in V4CP advocacy activities.The actions of RE CSOs will focus on the organizational sustainability of the CSO RE coalition (CNPDER-BF).28-10-2020: Unlike the two previous groups of actors, civil society actors in the RE sector are very well organized. We note the existence of the National Coalition of CSOs for the Promotion of Renewable Energies and Access to Sustainable Energy in Burkina Faso (CNPDER BF). These coalitions bring together 29 CSOs. During 2020, she focused on building her capacity in organizational sustainability. Its reputation prompted the MOE to consider signing a memorandum of collaboration.The baseline study carried out by an external consultant has identified 3 secondary educationnel structures providing professional courses in renewable energy distributed as follows : 1 in Boulsa, 1 in Manga and 1 in KoudougouDifficult to change, it's required advocay actions in a medium or long term through collaboration with governement and private sector.Developing an official curriculum takes time and it's not realistic to have one during 2018.10-04-2020: No additional educational structures providing renewable Energy can be notedIn 2019, the BAC Pro will be implemented at the local level (Dori professional high school).10-04-2020: Since September 2019, the BAC pro is operational at the Dori vocational high school.With the implementation of the roadmap with teaching structures, we hope that some establishments integrate the ER sector in their training game.28-10-2020: According to the 2020 data collection report, eleven (11) establishments out of the fifteen (17) establishments interviewed offer RE training, i.e. an adoption rate of 64.7% for the 2019-2020 academic year. Of these 11 establishments, 5 have recently joined the RE sector at the start of the 2019-2020 school year.NL-KVK-41152786-SFPRM4347-KENYASNV Netherlands Development OrganisationEOWE KenyaThe “Enhancing Opportunities for Women’s Enterprises” (EOWE) programme will advance women’s economic participation and selfreliance in Kenya and Vietnam by creating a conducive environment for female entrepreneurship as a vehicle for change. In 2014, SNV programmes have increased incomes and economic participation of 200,000 women in Kenya and Vietnam. With nearly 50 years of experience in women’s economic empowerment, we have learnt that economic growth alone is not enough to address gender inequality; the structures that underpin them have to be addressed: women and girls should be able to expand their economic opportunities, have access to resources and participate in decision making. Without these, the structures that cause inequality remain intact. A growing body of literature demonstrates the profound impact of women’s empowerment on human and socio-economic development, benefitting societies at large. In the agriculture and renewable energy sectors, where a significant share of rural women are engaged in economic activities, inequality is manifested most profoundly in income distribution and control of resources, division of labour and associated time burdens, decision-making power, gender-based violence, and restrictions in socio-economic and physical mobility. Our intervention model is built on the premise that political and legislative environments continue to be favourable for gender-equitable economic participation. Additionally, the changes we aim to influence require initiative from actors involved. We assume that there are sufficient incentives for all actors, including men, to engage and change behaviours. Most importantly, we premise that women’s economic contribution to their families, especially where there is a male head of household, will provide the incentive for men to share decision-making power with women. We premise that empowered women will continue to challenge gender norms and values that will in turn benefit more women, while women’s success in leadership will reinforce positive gender norms and lead to the emergence of new relationships between men and women and their positions within institutions. Inspired by SNV’s global practice on gender in Agriculture, namely balancing benefits in agriculture and Renewable Energy, namely health and wealth from clean energy, SNV propose an integrated strategy, tailored to the target group’s needs and capacities, and complementarity with ongoing initiatives. These are: • Increasing capacity of government actors to implement and localise female entrepreneurshipfriendly policies and institutions. • Increasing capacity of local actors, including CSOs, to create bottom-up pressure for women’s economic empowerment and leverage existing policy frameworks to enhance the enabling environment. • Challenging gender norms inhibiting women’s access to economic opportunities through behavioural change. • Increasing women’s capacity and confidence to lead successful businesses. EOWE will target: • National-level organisations (listed under actors) for capacity to implement gender-sensitive laws and inform the rules of the game for female businesses. • National and local-level CSOs to initiate advocacy on gender norms and demand for implementation of gender-sensitive policies. • Existing and new women-led enterprises in agriculture and renewable energy value chains for increased business performance. • Other value chain service providers for access to resources and assets, leadership capacity, financial services, and market integration. • Local sub grantees to implement programmes and institute good M&E system for shared learning and adapting actions.

The empowerment percentage only includes women that can are considered empowered on the WEAI. Whereas the overall WEAI score gives the percentage of women that are considered empowered + the percentage of domains that disempowered women are empowered in. This is a much more difficult figure to understand.24-09-2018: 74.5% of women in the midterm review are empowered according to the WEAI methodology. This is almost at target. The survey was conducted with women who are part of EOWE activities in business and/or household dialogues.This is a domain in the WEAIThe baseline value is high, because according to the WEAI methodology, a person is considered empowered if there is at least one category of income in which (s)he has some input into income decisions for at least one domain or if (s)he feels that (s)he can make decisions income and expenses– as long as this is not only on minor household decisions. This is a broad definition of empowerment, and does not take into account that in Kenya, (1) women control predominantly minor household decisions, and (2) that if they do not agree to a certain decision, in many cases women are physically forced or threatened to agree to decisions. This will be monitored qualitatively and quantitatively during the midline and the endline.The baseline value is already quite high, due the methodology employed. We will continue to monitor differences between men and women on the type of control and the type of income they control in the midline and the endline24-09-2018: Another focus point of the EOWE activities in Kenya last year. All women in the survey passed the empowerment threshold for this domain.The baseline value is already quite high, due the methodology employed. We will continue to monitor differences between men and women on the type of control and the type of income they control in the midline and the endlineThis is a domain of the WEAIThis baseline value is again very high. According to the WEAI methodology a person is empowered in this domain, if (s)he is an active member of at least one community group. Kenyan women are very active in numerous types of groups. The methodology does not put any weights on different types of groups (e.g. a community group to organise weddings/funerals, weighs as much as an agricultural production group, although the latter could be more meaningful for women in agriculture)24-09-2018: This went down slightly from the baseline value, which had almost complete empowerment on this domain. A slight reduction is therefore not strange. Almost all women are still empowered in this domainThis is a WEAI domainAccording to the a-WEAI methodology, a respondent is considered to be empowered when (s)he spends less than 10.5 hours a day on a combination of productive and reproductive tasks. These tasks together could also be called someone’s workload.29-04-2019: We saw a decline in the percentage of women that was empowered on workload. Partly this is due to project activities (labelled as productive time), and a better understanding amongst women how to create quality products, which also increases time. Women are able to produce better quality products and increase their incomes, so the increase in time spent on their business comes with increased income. At the same time, we see that some men assist with reproductive tasks, but this is still largely with women. Men prefer to assist women in their businesses to be able to generate higher incomes. In focus group discussions women have indicated they too preferred men to help with the business, rather than in the household.According to the WEAI methodology, a person is considered to be empowered in this domain if there are at least two categories in which (s)he takes the decision, has some input into decisions or feels that (s)he could make the decision if they wanted to. This is a relative broad definition, and doesn't take into account that there are areas of agricultural production that are inherently female, such as poultry or vegetables and where male interaction is limited. However, results of the focus groups revealed that men always decide over issues related to production for the market.The baseline value is already very high (only 3 women of the sample were considered disempowered). This because the baseline takes into account sole and joint ownership. It does not take into account specifically that men are usually owners over large product resources and women over minor resources. This will be monitored qualitatively and quantitatively during the midline and endlineThe baseline value was already high. However, the discrepancies between men and women on the type of resources they own will be monitored at midline and endline.The baseline value was already high. However, the discrepancies between men and women on the type of resources they own will be monitored at midline and endline.24-09-2018: This was a focal point of the EOWE activities in Kenya in 2018. A lot of progress was made in terms of awareness about credit options as well as decision-making power within the household on how the credit is used.This is a qualitative indicatorBecause this is a qualitative indicator, it is not possible to set targets. It depends on what women come back with as the Most Significant Change stories. We are piloting the MSC in 2017, and based on the results, we will roll-out across the project areas in Kenya.Because this is a qualitative indicator, it is not possible to set targets. It depends on what women come back with as the Most Significant Change stories.30-04-2018: Women and men taking part in the household dialogue report that men are increasingly helping with traditionally female tasks, such as feeding the animals or taking care of the children. A motivation for men to keep doing these activities is that their wives can spend more time in their business and generate more income from that business. Another motivation is an improvement in the relationship with their families. | 30-04-2018: The pilot on the Most Significant Change is finalised. Secondary analysis of the stories will be finalised in time for Annual Reporting due April 2018This is a qualitative indicatorBecause this is a qualitative indicator, it is not possible to set targets.

It depends on what women come back with as the Most Significant Change stories30-04-2018: Women and men taking part in the household dialogues report that before the sessions, each was making their own decisions, with little or any discussion with their husband or wife on taking out loans, how to spend money or to make plans together. After the sessions, women and men became aware of the need to discuss and make joint decisions on income. Many have started to plan together and they notice that these plans are more successful than their individual ones. This is an important motivation to keep discussing income and investment decisions together. | 30-04-2018: The pilot on the Most Significant Change is finalised. Secondary analysis of the stories will be finalised in time for Annual Reporting due April 2018This is a qualitative indicatorThis is a qualitative indicator, monitored through the Most Significant Change frameworkThe first pilots with the Most Significant Change framework are done in 2017. Depending on the success of these pilots, we will then role out the framework to include more groups across the project areas in Kenya.Targets do not apply as this is a qualitative and a risk monitoring indicator.30-04-2018: None of the women report recent gender-based violence, though from the stories women share, some have implied that previously this has happened, but seemingly is getting better. | 30-04-2018: The pilot on the Most Significant Change is finalised. Secondary analysis of the stories will be finalised in time for Annual Reporting due April 2018The number of policies and plans to be addressed will be set following a review in second half of 2016, after which numbers can be provided. Targets provided are cumulative percentages30-04-2018: In 2017, the programme signed Memoranda of Understanding with eight county governments to work together to strengthen the enabling environment in favour of women agri-entrepreneurs. One key area was the development of the five-year CIDPs, aligned to national development plans such as the Kenya Vision 2030, Medium Term Plans, the National Spatial Plan and international commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals. The CIDPs are expected to guide in ensuring effective and efficient use of scarce resources by linking county policy, planning and budgeting processes. It therefore informs the allocation of resources by counties to women entrepreneurs. The program works closely with civil society and government to support women’s participation in the development of CIDPs. | 30-04-2018: This information is currently being collected from partners and will be available in time for Annual Reporting 201829-04-2019: 1) Policy on 30% AGPO for women & youth 2) Policy on funding by WEF, UWEZO and Youth Enterprise Funds (YEF) & County Enterprise Funds 3) Development of County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP), 4) Marsabit Gender Policy 5)Isiolo County Youth Women and Persons with Disabilities Enterprise policies 5) 5 different policies on water and women issues in Laikipia County 6) Laikipia County Development Fund Bill 2018 7) The County Fiscal Strategy Paper- Plans28-04-2020: 1.

Isiolo County is started implementing the Women Youth and PWDs Enterprise Fund Act which was developed with SNV technical support. The regulations for the same was developed and the board appointment. All counties are implementing the Public Participation Act and actively involving women in the budget planning dialogues.16-04-2021: "Regulations. Isiolo County Gender Policy Makueni County 2020/ 2021 Budget.This uses the 5C tool30-04-2018: The programme identified and assessed the capacity of 8 local civil society actors to advocate on women’s economic issues using the 5C tool . From these different implementing CSO partners, the capabilities prioritised for development were “to act and commit” and “to adapt and renew”. The programme built the actor’s capacity to advocate on women’s economic issues by providing practical technical support and training to help them gain deeper thematic knowledge on gender and development in the context of economic empowerment of women. The actors established multi-stakeholder forums and developed capacity development plans on supporting women to participate in county government planning and the development of CIDPs. Activities conducted were consultations with women entrepreneurs prior to the government-led CIDP development process. The women entrepreneurs agreed on their priorities and developed memoranda which they presented during the county government gatherings. | 30-04-2018: 8 CSOs participated in capacity building training, but sessions on the 5C tool are planned in Feb/March, in time for Annual Reporting (April 2018)This will include the 6 from 2017, and will involve 4 new partners29-04-2019: Eight partners and seven County GovernmentsThis will include the 10 from 2017-18, and will involve 3 new partners28-04-2020: Cumulative figure, of which 5 in 2017, 8 in 2018 and 10 in 2019This will include the 13 from 2017-19, and will involve 2 new partnersThis uses the 5C tool30-04-2018: From the capacity assessment exercise of five county government ministries in each of the 8 counties, it was realised how low the capacity of local government actors is to implement and monitor gender-sensitive policies. Priority capabilities identified to build on are “to adapt and renew” and “to deliver on development objectives”. With devolution, the county governments are also expected to develop policies and frameworks, a role they have no previous experience in. In this regard, the programme has started developing the capacity of the counties through training and review. | 30-04-2018: 40 government actors participating in the capacity building training yet, partly due to the run-up to the presidential and governmental elections taking place last year.

Of these women 2,634 in 2017; 2,659 in 2018 and 2,651 in 2019. In 2019, 79.7% of women we worked with were able to increase their incomeThis includes the 6600 from 2017-201916-04-2021: Over the project lifetime, EOWE reached 11,411 women.In 2020, 1,750 women were able to increase their income from business. This leads to a total of 9,694 women with increased income. This means overall EOWE Kenya surpassed the target by approximately 21%. Of these women 2,634 in 2017; 2,659 in 2018; 2,651 in 2019 and 1,750 in 2020. In 2020, 80.7% of women in the enterprises we worked with were able to increase their income (n=2,396). Covid had a substanstial impact, as 113 women indicated they were not able to make any income from their business in 2020.Targets provided are cumulative numbers30-04-2018: 68% of enterprises/SMEs that have taken part in EOWE activities in 2016 and 2017, increased their profits (45 of 66) | 30-04-2018: Data is currently being collected and will be ready in time for Annual Reporting (April 2018)This includes the 80 from 201729-04-2019: Of which 93 in 2018 and 78 in 2017. Women groups dealing with poultry farming have had access to incubator, chicken feed making using different ingradients, how to design poultry keeping houses, knowledge on chicken management. Groups dealing in horticulture farming have access to water tanks to harvest water for irrigation, green houses, control pest and diseases, some groups have bought land and plots for businesses. Groups do have access to credit from SACCOs. Producing as a group have reduced costs of production. The women have been trained on business techniques on how to prepare business plans which are guiding them to run their businesses.This includes the 150 from 2017-201828-04-2020: Target surpassed. Of which 116 in 2019, 93 in 2018 and 78 in 2017. On average, those with increased profits, grew profits by 136%. Those that had reducing profits saw profits shrink with on average 43% (29 enterprises).This includes the 210 from 2017-2019This will be measured from 2018 onwardsThe project is not expected to start activities with newly started businesses until 2018Work with start-ups will start in 201829-04-2019: Difficult to calculate for the women groups reached in 2017 were not followed upon in 2018 to check on their viability.30-04-2020: We have not been tracking this indicator in Kenya where we are only working with existing enterprises. The only new businesses that are began are when existing beneficiaries diversity into new income generating ideas eg small-stock traders beginning to grow traditional green vegetables.Please note there is a difference between Vietnam and Kenya, due to their different contextsCooperatives30-04-2018: 11 have accessed all assets, inputs and techniques (7% of the 168 enterprises and SMEs we worked with in 2017). 26 Enterprises and SMEs have access at least 1 of the 3 assets/inputs/techniques (15%). 21 have accessed 2 or more (13%) | 30-04-2018: Data is currently being collected and will be ready in time for Annual Reporting (April 2018)Cooperatives29-04-2019: Of which 10 in 2017 and 52 in 2018Cooperatives30-04-2020: Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, it was not possible to validate this information from all counties.

In 2020, EOWE worked with 172 enterprisesSome delays in being able to collect the correct information30-04-2018: 109 out of 168 enterprises and SMEs EOWE has worked with in 2017 have accessed loans29-04-2019: Out of the 132 enterprises EOWE works with in Kenya, 61 successfully accessed credit. Whether or not enterprises are depends on a lot of factors that are not always within the control of the project, but with the increased bookkeeping and other business management skills trained under the project, women are able to write better business cases.28-04-2020: Target not achieved. Out of the 127 enterprises for which we were able to collect data, 61 were able to access credit (due to COVID-19 we did not receive information from Marsabit in time). There is quite a lot of variation between regions, where in Laikipia, Samburu and Kitui over 70% of enterprises were able to access finance, whereas in regions such as Narok and Isiolo less than 33% (19.4 and 32.0%). Whether or not enterprises can access finance is dependent on many factors that the project cannot always influence successfully.This is disaggregated by new and enduring links30-04-2018: 51 enterprises and SMEs were able to establish 1 new market link. This represents 30.3% of enterprises and SMEs EOWE worked with in 2017 | 30-04-2018: Data is currently being collected and will be ready in time for Annual Reporting (April 2018) | 30-04-2018: Data is currently being collected and will be ready in time for Annual Reporting (April 2018)This includes the 40 linkages established in 201729-04-2019: Of which 45 in 2018 and 41 in 2017This includes the 80 linkages established 2017-201828-04-2020: of which 105 in 2019, 45 in 2018 and 41 in 2017. 83% of enterprises (105/127) established a new market linkage in 2019This includes the 120 linkages established 2017-201930-04-2021: due to Covid no new markets were accessed30-04-2019: Investigation whether the use of a virtual MIS as envisioned would be appropriate for the beneficiaries of the programme indicated that they still prefer to be lonked to physical market information and markets. However, with the establishment of women’s business hubs virtual space will be created including for market information.30-04-2020: MIS abandoned as not being effective. Instead, links to existing online market systems will be found on the virtual WBH space which will be hosted on a County Government website.30-04-2021: This was abandoned by the project out of the realisation that the women we were working with were not ready for such an online system29-04-2019: 14 in 2017 and 21 in 201830-04-2021: Not done due to Covid-19 it was challenging to bring women together.Targets provided are cumulative numbers30-04-2018: . No business hub was created in 2017 though processes commenced towards establishing a business hub in Marsabit County. The hub will be a physical centre, designed, managed, maintained and supported financially by an organisation with the main objective of providing shared utilities, networking opportunities, business mentoring, business advice, business research, investment advice, computer access, financial access, business development opportunities and other necessary services for Small and Micro-sized Enterprises at a low-cost for a specific period of time. It is expected that the hub in Marsabit County opens its doors in the second quarter of 2018. A second and third hub are expected to be created in two other counties during the second half of 2018.This includes the 1 from 201730-04-2019: 1 Continued from 2017; 1 or 2 more are in the process of development. | 30-04-2019: Continued from 2017. 1 or 2 more are in the process of development. | 30-04-2019: Continued from 2017This includes the 3 from 2017-201830-04-2020: 3 hubs were in discussion at the start of the year.

Taken over the whole of the EOWE project, this indicator was surpassed (target = 8450, actual =9389)NL-KVK-41152786-SFPRM4347-VietnamSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationEOWE VietnamThe “Enhancing Opportunities for Women’s Enterprises” (EOWE) programme will advance women’s economic participation and selfreliance in Kenya and Vietnam by creating a conducive environment for female entrepreneurship as a vehicle for change. In 2014, SNV programmes have increased incomes and economic participation of 200,000 women in Kenya and Vietnam. With nearly 50 years of experience in women’s economic empowerment, we have learnt that economic growth alone is not enough to address gender inequality; the structures that underpin them have to be addressed: women and girls should be able to expand their economic opportunities, have access to resources and participate in decision making. Without these, the structures that cause inequality remain intact. A growing body of literature demonstrates the profound impact of women’s empowerment on human and socio-economic development, benefitting societies at large. In the agriculture and renewable energy sectors, where a significant share of rural women are engaged in economic activities, inequality is manifested most profoundly in income distribution and control of resources, division of labour and associated time burdens, decision-making power, gender-based violence, and restrictions in socio-economic and physical mobility. Our intervention model is built on the premise that political and legislative environments continue to be favourable for gender-equitable economic participation. Additionally, the changes we aim to influence require initiative from actors involved. We assume that there are sufficient incentives for all actors, including men, to engage and change behaviours. Most importantly, we premise that women’s economic contribution to their families, especially where there is a male head of household, will provide the incentive for men to share decision-making power with women. We premise that empowered women will continue to challenge gender norms and values that will in turn benefit more women, while women’s success in leadership will reinforce positive gender norms and lead to the emergence of new relationships between men and women and their positions within institutions. Inspired by SNV’s global practice on gender in Agriculture, namely balancing benefits in agriculture and Renewable Energy, namely health and wealth from clean energy, SNV propose an integrated strategy, tailored to the target group’s needs and capacities, and complementarity with ongoing initiatives. These are: • Increasing capacity of government actors to implement and localise female entrepreneurshipfriendly policies and institutions. • Increasing capacity of local actors, including CSOs, to create bottom-up pressure for women’s economic empowerment and leverage existing policy frameworks to enhance the enabling environment. • Challenging gender norms inhibiting women’s access to economic opportunities through behavioural change. • Increasing women’s capacity and confidence to lead successful businesses. EOWE will target: • National-level organisations (listed under actors) for capacity to implement gender-sensitive laws and inform the rules of the game for female businesses. • National and local-level CSOs to initiate advocacy on gender norms and demand for implementation of gender-sensitive policies. • Existing and new women-led enterprises in agriculture and renewable energy value chains for increased business performance. • Other value chain service providers for access to resources and assets, leadership capacity, financial services, and market integration. • Local sub grantees to implement programmes and institute good M&E system for shared learning and adapting actions.

The empowerment percentage only includes women that can are considered empowered on the WEAI. Whereas the overall WEAI score gives the percentage of women that are considered empowered + the percentage of domains that disempowered women are empowered in. This is a much more difficult figure to understand.This changed from the previous overall WEAI score. The percentage only includes women that can are considered empowered on the WEAI. Whereas the overall WEAI score gives the percentage of women that are considered empowered + the percentage of domains that disempowered women are empowered in. This is a much more difficult figure to understand.Percentage of women that can be considered empowered24-09-2018: 66.2% of women interviewed were empowered according to the WEAI methodology. Women interviewed were part of EOWE activities (business and/or household dialogue)Percentage of women that can be considered empowered, this percentage is equal to the male baseline percentage in 201624-09-2018: Target almost achieved. Still an increase in decision-making over agricultural production for women of 3.7%The baseline figure is high because the survey counted towards empowerment both sole and joint ownership. It doesn't take into account that even though both men and women indicate there is joint ownership, there is a difference between major and minor productive resources or household assets, with men predominantly owning (most of) the major resources. We will monitor this distinction both quantitative and qualitatively in the midline and endline surveys going forward.Since this figure is already at baseline almost 100%, we are not expecting this to drop. As indicated, we will keep monitoring the differences between owning major and minor assets through qualitative and quantitative measures in the midline and endline24-09-2018: All women passed the ownership of productive resources threshold according to the WEAI methodologySince this figure is already at baseline almost 100%, we are not expecting this to drop. As indicated, we will keep monitoring the differences between owning major and minor assets through qualitative and quantitative measures in the midline and endline24-09-2018: Surpassed the target. Women in the project are a lot more aware of different credit options, but also more able to decide over how that credit is used by the householdThis is one of the WEAI domainsThis baseline is high, because according to the WEAI methodology, a person is considered empowered if there is at least one category of income in which (s)he has some input into income decisions for at least one domain or if (s)he feels that (s)he can make decisions regarding income and expenditures – as long as this is not only on minor household decisions. This is a very broad definition of empowerment, and does not adequately take into account that (1) women are predominantly decision-makers over minor expenses, and (2) for major expenses, they are involved in decision-making but in many households this is symbolic and they are expected to agree with their husbands. We continue to monitor this difference between major and minor, and symbolic input qualitatively and quantitatively in the midline and endline.This baseline value was already high, because according to the WEAI methodology, a person is considered empowered if there is at least one category of income in which (s)he has some input into income decisions for at least one domain or if (s)he feels that (s)he can make decisions regarding income and expenditures – as long as this is not only on minor household decisions.

We continue to monitor this difference between major and minor, and symbolic input qualitatively and quantitatively in the midline and endline.24-09-2018: This remained more or less the same. Already almost all women are able to co-decide on (part of) the household incomeThis baseline is high, because according to the WEAI methodology, a person is considered empowered if there is at least one category of income in which (s)he has some input into income decisions for at least one domain or if (s)he feels that (s)he can make decisions regarding income and expenditures – as long as this is not only on minor household decisions.

We continue to monitor this difference between major and minor, and symbolic input qualitatively and quantitatively in the midline and endline.Leadership roles in the community is one of the domains of the WEAIThe WEAI methodology considers someone to be empowered in the Leadership in the community domain if (s)he is an active member of at least 1 community group. Examples of such groups are agricultural groups, water groups that discuss water and sanitation in the community, forest groups that discuss use and conservation of forests near the community, civic groups aimed at community improvements and that organise social events such as weddings and funerals, trade or business groups and religious groups.24-09-2018: This was a specific focal point of the project in Vietnam. We also saw a large drop in the percentage of women that said they never voiced their opinion in public (-15%) and 45% of women indicated their influence in the community was a 6 or higher (1-9 scale) compared to 28% at baseline.This is one of the domains of the WEAIAccording to the WEAI, a person is considered to be disempowered in time use if they spend 10.5 hours or more a day on a combination of productive and reproductive tasks – this can also be called someone’s workload. 24-09-2018: Although men spend more time helping with household tasks (average + 2hr36min per day), women spend more time in the household compared to 2016 as well. From qualitative work, several explanations might be possible: (1) women quality assure the household tasks men do (don't do it as well yet) and want to stay in control, (2) household chores never end, so women find new things to do now that men take over some tasks, (3) household chores are done together as bonding activities. Therefore, decline in overall empowerment of workload does not necessarily have to be negative. More indepth discussions with beneficiaries is necessary to understand this further.This is a qualitative indicatorFor Vietnam it is not sure if the Most Significant Change framework will be adopted. This because there is an Impact Evaluation proposal outstanding with the World Bank. If this Evaluation is granted to us, we will consider together with the World Bank and DSO to what extent we could measure changes in attitudes.

Targets are not applicable, as this is a qualitative indicator with a large involvement of participants to decide what will be reported30-04-2018: Women and men indicate that following the Household Dialogues, there is increased Awareness of the work women do (inside and outside of the home), as well as men taking up household tasks to support their wives. For instance, cooking, feeding animals and some cleaning activities. What motivates men to do these changes, is that they notice a change in their relationship, that their wives (and sometimes children) seem happier. What also helps to keep doing traditionally female tasks, is the appreciation wives show to their husbands, even if the husband is not performing the task very well (e.g. cooking salty food, breaking glasses, etc.) | 30-04-2018: The Most Significant Change pilot is finalised and the secondary reporting on this will be finalised in time for Annual Reporting due in April 2018This is a qualitative indicatorFor Vietnam it is not sure if the Most Significant Change framework will be adopted.

The project will work with some partners on a continuous basis.30-04-2018: All partners created a capacity building plan for 2017 and a baseline 5C tool was taken. None of the advocacy partners rated themselves higher on one of the 5C tools after 1 year, due in part to increased understanding of what these capacities really entail. However, the role and capacity of cooperatives have been significantly addressed and strengthened towards recognising leadership and economic roles of women in the operation of cooperatives and crops production. Intense advocacy meetings led to an agreement set-up between local partners (e.g. DARD, AEC, WU) and around 40 cooperatives to ensure a facilitating environment for women farmers to grow and lead farmer groups and services. | 30-04-2018: 13 partners are being trained in Vietnam: 4 Women Unions and 9 government parterns. We consider the Women Unions as a civil society partner although officially they are parastatal. They are part of monitoring the implementation of government sensitive policies. Sessions on the 5C tool are planned in Feb/March, in time for Annual Reporting (April 2018).These numbers contain new actors each year. The project will work with some partners on a continuous basis.29-04-2019: The original target of 11 partners increasing at least 2 out of 5 capabilities is not feasible, because of the following reasons: • The project is currently working with 5 partners (National Women Union and Provincial Women Union of 4 provinces) to increase their capacity to advocate on women’s economic issues, who all have capacity building plans for 2017, 2018 and 2019. • Since 2017 they have involved in different training and learn events under EOWE. However, it takes time to increase their capabilities, especially under the circumstance of system change and staff rotation. • Among 5 units, Quang Binh_Womens Union and Ninh Thuan_Womens Union increased 2 out of 5 capabilities from the 5C tool in 2018. Binh Thuan_Womens Union and Binh Dinh_Womens Union have 1 capability increased. It may take more time to allocate budget and qualified staffs in these unions to implement the Women start-up program. The National Womens Union had relatively high scores in 2017 (good and very good), therefore, these scores did not change in 2018These numbers contain new actors each year.

However, there are 2 partners (Binh Thuan-Department of Plant Protection and Ninh Thuan-Department of Plant Protection) joining from 2018. Therefore, they did not go through 5C tool in 2017 for comparison.

Extrapolated from a sample of 465 women for which 2016 and 2017 income data is available. | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018).This includes the 3,000 from 201729-04-2019: Surpassed the target. This number is based on data from cooperatives and represents women with actual increases. The previous indicator (on income) asked women at mid-term how they felt their income changed over the past 12 months. The average change in profit is +57%, which is equivalent to 5.7 million VND (over 200 euro). Among those women involving in the project since 2016, 72% have consistent increase income over the last three years.This includes the 5,400 from 2017-201828-04-2020: This is 98% of the target. Of which 334 in 2019, 2820 in 2018 and 3916 in 2017. In 2019 we worked with 7 new cooperatives (256 households), and 59% of women were able to increase their incomes. In 2019, we worked with 46 cooperatives, with continued support from previous years into 2019. Across all supported women (9214), 69% was able to increase their incomes in 2019This includes the 7200 from 2017 - 201916-04-2021: Over the project lifetime, we reached 9,230 women in Vietnam, of whom 7,306 women were able to improve their income from business (79%). This is 75% of the overall target. Of which 236 in 2020, 334 in 2019, 2820 in 2018 and 3916 in 2017. On average, the EOWE project worked with a woman in Vietnam for 3 years and 7 months. And in that period, a woman was on average able to increase her profits by 8.5%. In 2020, we worked with 45 cooperatives, of which 7 were new (627 new women) and 38 received continued support. In 2020, 4,720 women across the 45 cooperatives were able to increase their income from business. This is 51% of the women EOWE worked with. COVID-19 and a typhoon with subsequent flooding has severely impacted the provinces in which EOWE works and the livelihoods of women, leading to 49% not being able to realise an increase.30-04-2018: 68% percent of businesses that have taken part in EOWE activities in 2016 and 2017 increased their profits (19 out of 28) | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018)This includes the 20 from 2017This includes the 40 from 2017-201828-04-2020: 41 cooperatives and SMEs out of 74 were able to increase their profits from 2018 to 2019. This is 55%.This includes the 60 from 2017-201916-04-2021: 46 cooperatives and SMEs out of 88 were able to increase their profits from 2019 to 2020. This is 52%. Out of the 42 SMEs EOWE supported, 27 were able to generate a higher profit compared to 2019 (57%). Out of the 45 cooperatives we worked with, 21 were able to increase their profits (46%)This will be measured from 2018 onwardsThe project is not expected to start activities with newly started businesses until 2018This is in percentages of those start-ups we are working with29-04-2019: We supported 19 new businesses in 2018, of which 12 were profitable in their first yearThis is in percentages of those start-ups we are working with28-04-2020: 9 out 22 start-ups supported in 2019 were able to generate a profitThis is in percentages of those start-ups we are working with16-04-2021: 2 out of 5 new start-ups supported in 2020 were able to generate a higher profit than in 2019.Please note there is a difference between Vietnam and Kenya, due to their different contexts30-04-2018: 67% of the total number of women supported in 2017 (4,896) have accessed assets, inputs and techniques. 52% of women have accessed at least one of the three (2,539 women) | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018) | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018) | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018) | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018) | 30-04-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018)This includes the 5000 from 201730-04-2019: The total number of direct female beneficiaries in Vietnam up to 2018 is 8,067. Therefore, the target of 9,000 women was unattainable. 52% of women we work with (~4,180) indicated that they can access to ALL 3: assets, inputs and techniques for their production. If considering at least one out of assets, input and techniques, the number is 7,986.This includes the 9000 from 2017-201828-04-2020: Women were able to access at least one or more assets, inputs and techniques. That is 92% of those reached in 2019This includes the 12000 from 2017-201916-04-2021: Women were able to access at least one or more assets, inputs and techniques. That is 92% of those reached in 202030-04-2018: 1606 women accessed finance29-04-2019: 27% of producers, and 40.6% for SMEs. EOWE Vietnam produced a comprehensive report on the demand of financial inclusion intervention to bring in a broad picture of the needs on having access to capital for business growth. This report indicates these key challenges in terms of difficulties to access to finance: i) Lack of feasible business plans/strategies ii) Lack of proper financial records to prove the effectiveness iii) Lack of mortgages iv) The hesitation of members on the risks of market fluctuation, crop failure, unpredictable weather v) The unwillingness to release the loans from the banks due to strict regulations on credit policies, the nature of agricultural production28-04-2020: Out of the 46 cooperatives and SMEs indicating they were interested in credit, 26 were able to access finance. For SMEs accessing finance was easier (67%) compared to farmer groups (20%).16-04-2021: Out of 62 cooperatives and SMEs indicating they were interested in credit, 19 were able to access finance (30.6%).25-01-2018: We will not get this information until February/March 2018, as part of data collection for Annual Reporting (April 2018)This includes the 4 from 201729-04-2019: Currently there are only newsletters of Department of Industry and Trade Ninh Thuan and website of Department of Industry and Trade Quang Binh being piloted to see the effectiveness and feasibility.

With nearly 50 years of experience in women’s economic empowerment, we have learnt that economic growth alone is not enough to address gender inequality; the structures that underpin them have to be addressed: women and girls should be able to expand their economic opportunities, have access to resources and participate in decision making. Without these, the structures that cause inequality remain intact. A growing body of literature demonstrates the profound impact of women’s empowerment on human and socio-economic development, benefitting societies at large. In the agriculture and renewable energy sectors, where a significant share of rural women are engaged in economic activities, inequality is manifested most profoundly in income distribution and control of resources, division of labour and associated time burdens, decision-making power, gender-based violence, and restrictions in socio-economic and physical mobility.Our intervention model is built on the premise that political and legislative environments continue to be favourable for gender-equitable economic participation. Additionally, the changes we aim to influence require initiative from actors involved. We assume that there are sufficient incentives for all actors, including men, to engage and change behaviours. Most importantly, we premise that women’s economic contribution to their families, especially where there is a male head of household, will provide the incentive for men to share decision-making power with women. We premise that empowered women will continue to challenge gender norms and values that will in turn benefit more women, while women’s success in leadership will reinforce positive gender norms and lead to the emergence of new relationships between men and women and their positions within institutions.Inspired by SNV’s global practice on gender in Agriculture, namely balancing benefits in agriculture and Renewable Energy, namely health and wealth from clean energy, SNV propose an integrated strategy, tailored to the target group’s needs and capacities, and complementarity with ongoing initiatives. These are: • Increasing capacity of government actors to implement and localise female entrepreneurshipfriendly policies and institutions. • Increasing capacity of local actors, including CSOs, to create bottom-up pressure for women’s economic empowerment and leverage existing policy frameworks to enhance the enabling environment. • Challenging gender norms inhibiting women’s access to economic opportunities through behavioural change. • Increasing women’s capacity and confidence to lead successful businesses.EOWE will target: • National-level organisations (listed under actors) for capacity to implement gender-sensitive laws and inform the rules of the game for female businesses. • National and local-level CSOs to initiate advocacy on gender norms and demand for implementation of gender-sensitive policies. • Existing and new women-led enterprises in agriculture and renewable energy value chains for increased business performance. • Other value chain service providers for access to resources and assets, leadership capacity, financial services, and market integration. • Local sub grantees to implement programmes and institute good M&E system for shared learning and adapting actions.

CSOs represent the interests of crucial groups such as pastoralists, female entrepreneurs, small-holder farmers. Together with IFPRI, we will support these organisations to foster collaboration among relevant stakeholders, influence agenda-setting and hold the government and private sector accountable for their promises and actions. We will tackle four issues – food and nutrition security, resilience, renewable energy, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) – by also addressing gender balance and climate change mitigation. By collaborating with national and international partners, different levels of government, and the private sector, CSOs will contribute to improving the ‘enabling environment’. Guaranteeing that CSOs have a greater voice in issues such as policy creation and implementation or better provision of services, will ensure that the interests of the communities they represent are better served. Together with IFPRI, we will enhance their capacities (e.g. leadership competencies, knowledge development, advocacy skills, improving the sustainability of the organisation) in order to empower them to speak with a greater voice, also beyond the scope of this programme. They will be trained to use evidence such as research, data and lessons learned from current projects to back up their advocacy strategies. Objectives: • Enable CSOs to have a greater voice as advocates and lobbyists and effectively serve the interests of the people they represent. • Influence agenda-setting by stimulating collaboration among CSOs, governments, private sector and other relevant players. • Enhance government and private sector accountability, ensuring that promises and actions are followed through. Ultimately, the increased influence of CSOs will contribute to sustainable and inclusive development in all four fields (FNS, Resilience, RE and WASH).Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationThe International Food Policy Research InstituteAkvo Foundationv4cp@snv.orgSNV Parkstraat 83 2514 JG The Hague The Netherlands -6.208763 106.845599-1.292066 36.82194612.371428 -1.519665.603717 -0.18696452.070498 4.300714.072275 -87.192136-1.970579 30.1044296933536.006933536.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation6933536.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation6933536.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation346677.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation6586859.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation507851.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Indonesia1475664.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationThe International Food Policy Research Institute837229.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationNetherlands Development Organisation655872.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Netherlands Development Organisation, Ghana469840.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Rwanda6933536.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation659619.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Burkina Faso493742.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Honduras2463940.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationThe International Food Policy Research Institute1068067.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationNetherlands Development Organisation527092.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Rwanda794812.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Burkina Faso802160.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Netherlands Development Organisation, Ghana600246.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Indonesia568839.00SNV Netherlands Development OrganisationSNV Honduras6933536.00Directoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development Organisation34667680.00beschikkingDirectoraat Generaal Internationale SamenwerkingSNV Netherlands Development OrganisationThe leadership capacities of CSO leaders have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO leaders have rated their own leadership competencies in five identified capability areas: capability to act and commit, capability to deliver on development objectives, capability to relate, capability to maintain coherence, and capability to adapt and renew. A four point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate them with examples. The 50 CSOs have scored themselves on their leadership capacities in 2016 as follows (average score of CSO participants): Score 1 - 1.9: 1 CSO Score 2 - 2.9: 24 CSOs Score 3 - 4 : 25 CSOs The baseline value on the aggregated indicator is 0, as we are at the start of the programme and no increase in leadership capacities has taken place yet. Qualitative observations Almost all CSO leaders see themselves as having moderate to good leadership capacities. The average baseline score on leadership capacities is 2.9 which is very high. SNV realises that the capacity scores might not increase substantially or might even decrease in 2018 despite the different capacity development initiatives taking place, as with the increase in knowledge and exposure, the CSOs may become more conscious about possible weaknesses and potential in their capacities. Capabilities that were more frequently mentioned as less developed and which need further strengthening are the capability to develop a good strategy and vision, the capability to mobilise financial resources, and the capability to plan, monitor and evaluate (or: PME). One of the CSOs stated that its organisation has a vision but that there is no strategic plan yet. Another CSO mentioned that it does have annual plans, but that with a short outlook and no long-term strategy, the priorities of the organisation keep changing. This illustrated, therefore, the need for support with developing a multi-annual strategic plan to create more consistency in the strategy of the organisation. In view of the character of the data, the individual scores and examples are kept confidential. 14-09-2018: • Many CSOs (39%) have increased their leadership capacities in 2107. A similar percentage of CSOs has rated themselves as equally equipped versus 2016, while almost 20% of the CSOs assessed themselves with a lower score compared to 2016. • The average score on leadership capacities increased from 2,9 in 2016 to 3.1 over 2017 • Average scores over 2017 for women are 2.9 vs 3.2 for men. SNV already realised in 2016 that the capacity scores might not increase substantially or might even decrease in 2017 despite the different capacity development initiatives that took place, as with the more exposure the CSOs get, the more conscious they might become about possible weaknesses and potential in their capacities. Another possible explanation for the decrease in score of some CSOs are the changes in staff at their level. One country theme reported that the increase in their leadership capacities could be traced back to an increased focus on accuracy and accountability in reporting, as well as to more effective ways of communication and leading by example. Other CSOs commented that they increased their capacity in conducting context analyses including institutional analysis, in planning, in networking, in monitoring their achievements, in relationship building. CSOs have joined forces and carried out joint work, they complemented each other and information is exchanged amongst them. Looking at the level of leadership at organisational level, one theme noted that the CSOs clearly strengthened their organisational leadership. They have taken a leading role in taking the initiative to create a coalition with like-minded organisations and in taking the lead in giving direction to the objectives of this coalition. They are recognized as leaders by getting invited to the National Assembly, and to join a working group on regulation of the sector. In summary, although not always reflected in the scores, overall an increase in leadership skills of the CSOs is n ...30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: The leadership capacities of CSO leaders have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO leaders have rated their own leadership competencies in five identified capability areas: capability to act and commit, capability to deliver on development objectives, capability to relate, capability to maintain coherence and the capability to adapt and renew. A four point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2017 and 2018 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2018 • Two-thirds of the CSOs (65%) have recorded an increase in their leadership skills, while a third (31%) maintained their score in comparison to 2017. • The average score on leadership capacities for 2018 is 3.4, another strong increase in comparison to 3.1 over the course of 2017. • The average leadership scores amongst women have also increased in comparison to the previous year, increasing from 2.9 in 2017 to 3.35. It is also worth noting that there is a marginal difference in score between men and women in 2018, with 3.35 vs 3.46 for men. • Two CSOs noted a decrease in their leadership skills. Qualitative observations A notable increase in CSOs’ leadership capacities has occurred over the course of 2018. In addition to providing targeted trainings and workshops (ranging from trainings on Working Smart, leadership trainings for CEOs, to conducting comprehensive context analyses), CSOs cite the support provided by their coaches and sector exposure (i.e. attendance of national and international conferences) as having improved their leadership competencies and general confidence levels. The involvement of local actors in work processes, conflict management, negotiations an ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The leadership capacities of CSO leaders have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO leaders have rated their own leadership competencies in five identified capability areas: capability to act and commit, capability to deliver on development objectives, capability to relate, capability to maintain coherence and the capability to adapt and renew. A four-point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2018 and 2019 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2019 • All 51 CSOs have recorded a score of 3 or higher, with 6% achieving a score of 4 (excellent). • A third of the CSOs (33%) reported an increase in their leadership skills, while the remaining (near) two thirds (59%) maintained their score in comparison to 2018. • The average score on leadership capacities for 2019 is 3.55, an increase in comparison to the score of 3.4 over the course of 2018. • The differences between male and female average leadership scores have levelled, with a very marginal difference of 0.02 between the two. The average leadership score amongst women increased to 3.53 in comparison to 3.35 in 2018, while for men the average score is 3.57. • Four CSOs noted a decrease in their leadership skills. Qualitative observations The steady annual increase in CSOs’ leadership capacities scores continued in 2019. All CSOs have reported a score of 3 or higher, with 3 CSOs reported the maximum score of 4. Better delegation of tasks, improved communication and consultation, enhanced informed and effective decision-making processes, transparency, conflict management and consensus building among stakeholders have been cited by the CSOs as examples of their increase ...30-10-2020: Explanation indicator The leadership capacities of CSO leaders have been assessed via a guided self-assessment.

A four-point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2019 and 2020 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2020 • All CSOs have recorded a score of 3 or higher, with 8% achieving a score of 4 (excellent). • 8% of the CSOs reported an increase in their leadership skills, while the large majority (86%) maintained their score in comparison to 2018. • The average score on leadership capacities for 2020 is 3.6, which is similar to the score over the course of 2019. • Two CSOs noted a decrease in their leadership skills. The CSOs’ leadership capacities scores remained stable in 2020. All CSOs have reported a score of 3 or higher, with 4 CSOs reported the maximum score of 4. Several CSOs indicated to not have significantly changed their leadership capacities in the first half of 2020, therefore they saw no need to complete the 2020 survey; instead we used their 2019 leasdership capacity scores. The limited increase is partly explained by the fact that the capacity assessment in 2020 was conducted in the month of July, meaning that the assessment period covered only six months instead of the normal period of 12 months. Further, some capacity development workshops and engagements scheduled for 2020 were cancelled due to COVID-19, hence CSOs had less exposure in the first half of 2020 than p ...The advocacy capacities of the CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO organisations rated their competencies on three key advocacy dimensions, these are i) planning and strategising advocacy activities, ii) gathering and using (evidence-based) information, and iii) network and coalition building. A four point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSOs were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate them with examples.The 50 CSOs have scored themselves as follows in 2016: Score 1 - 1.9 : 1 CSO Score 2 - 2.9 : 26 CSOs Score 3 - 4 : 18 CSOs 5 CSOs did not complete the survey. The baseline value on the aggregated indicator is 0, as we are at the start of the programme and no increase in advocacy capacities has taken place yet. Qualitative observations Most CSOs find they have moderate to good advocacy capacities. The average baseline score on advocacy capacities is 2,8 which is high. SNV realises that the capacity scores might not increase substantially or might even decrease in 2018 despite the different capacity development initiatives taking place, as with the increase in knowledge and exposure, the CSOs may become more conscious about possible weaknesses and potential in their capacities. Capabilities and/or practices that are less developed and which are indicated by the CSOs and SNV country teams as improvement areas are the following: the packaging and communication of evidence, doing a context and/or stakeholder analysis and regularly updating them, having access to up-to-date information and having sufficient staff with the right skills and knowledge to implement advocacy activities. One CSO noted that for them making a context analysis was a new activity and that they were introduced to this for the first time by the V4CP programme. Before, they used anecdotal evidence or experiences of their own members which were considered to be limited. Another CSO mentioned for example that with regard to ‘packaging information to target groups’ they do not differentiate, and they do not know how to adjust their information to different audiences. In view of the character of the data the individual scores and examples are kept confidential.14-09-2018: • One third (33%) of the CSOs have increased their advocacy capacities versus the baseline. Around 12% of the CSOs have rated themselves lower than in 2016. Less than half of the CSOs (37%) assessed themselves as equally equipped versus 2016. • The average score on advocacy capacities for the baseline was 2.8, which has increased to 3.0 over 2017 • For 9 CSOs a comparison could not be made as they either joined the programme during 2017 or did not complete the survey in 2016 or 2017 SNV already realised in 2016 that scores might not increase substantially or might even decrease in 2017 despite the different capacity development initiatives taking place. Through the numerous training and coaching sessions they came to realize that advocacy is much more complicated than they thought and they identified their improvement points. CSOs noted that thanks to the V4CP programme they started to realise the importance of relevant evidence in their advocacy efforts. Through the different capacity building initiatives, the CSOs strengthened their capacities in problem analysis, in goal setting, in identifying appropriate communication channels, in using evidence to support their arguments, in monitoring and learning based on achieved results. Another worth- mentioning output of V4CP are CSOs increased skills in coalition building. The identification and use of complementary capacities among CSO partners, the joining of forces to increase power and visibility are mentioned by several CSOs as key assets of the programme. The different support activities offered by the V4CP programme led to more structured and focused advocacy plans in which learning gets a lot of attention. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information. In view of the character of the data the individual scores and examples are kept confidential.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: The advocacy capacities -which include use of evidence- of the CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO organisations rated their competencies on three key advocacy dimensions, these are i) planning and strategizing advocacy activities, ii) gathering and using (evidence-based) information and iii) network and coalition building. A four point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSOs were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2017 and 2018 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2018 • Nearly half of the CSOs (47%) recorded an increase in their advocacy capacities over the course of 2018, while 41% assessed themselves as being equally equipped. Five CSOs (12%) rated themselves as having lower advocacy capacities than in 2017. • The average score of CSOs on advocacy capacities is 3.2. We have therefore witnessed a gradual increase in advocacy capacities, from 2.8 in 2016, 3.0 in 2017, and now 3.2 in 2018. • To measure the change in capacities of two CSOs who did not complete the 2017 survey, the 2018 scoring was compared to their 2016 data. One CSO did not complete the 2018 advocacy survey. Qualitative observations The two key areas that have served to enhance CSOs’ advocacy capacities over the course of 2018 are increased cooperation with different actors (through forums, coalitions, etc.) and CSOs’ ability to produce and share evidence. In Ghana, for example, a number of CSOs decided to focus their advocacy strategies on building alliances amongst sector actors and to work directly with other CSOs operating in the same sector. Through enhanced coordination, V4CP CSOs were better able to leverage their advocacy efforts. There is also an increased recognition amon ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The advocacy capacities -which include use of evidence- of the CSOs were assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSOs rated their competencies on three key advocacy dimensions, these are i) planning and strategizing advocacy activities, ii) gathering and using (evidence-based) information and iii) network and coalition building. A four-point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSOs were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2017 and 2018 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2019 • Nearly half of the CSOs (45%) recorded an increase in their advocacy capacities over the course of 2019, while 55% assessed themselves as being equally equipped. Four CSOs (8%) rated themselves as having lower advocacy capacities than in 2018. • The average score of CSOs on advocacy capacities is 3.5. We have therefore witnessed a gradual increase in advocacy capacities, from 2.8 in 2016, 3.0 in 2017, 3.2 in 2018, and now 3.5 in 2019. • One CSO did not complete the 2019 advocacy survey. Qualitative observations In 2019, the growth in the advocacy area continued. We have seen a gradual increase in the average advocacy score, from 2.8 in 2016, 3.0 in 2017, 3.2 in 2018, and now 3.5 in 2019. The improvement in 2019 is amongst others attributed to the increased number of evidence products made available and their increasingly effective use by CSO at various forums. In Indonesia for example, the CSOs were trained in research methodologies, and then led their own research agenda together with the government and local universities. Being highly involved in the research process increased CSOs’ ownership of evidence products and led to a more effective use of the evidence in their advocacy messages. Those two re ...30-10-2020: Explanation indicator The advocacy capacities -which include use of evidence- of the CSOs were assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSOs rated their competencies on three key advocacy dimensions, these are i) planning and strategizing advocacy activities, ii) gathering and using (evidence-based) information and iii) network and coalition building. A four-point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSOs were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2019 and 2020 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2020 • 16% recorded an increase in their advocacy capacities over the course of 2020, while 73% assessed themselves as being equally equipped. Four CSOs (8%) rated themselves as having lower advocacy capacities than in 2019. • The average score of CSOs on advocacy capacities is 3.5, which is similar to the score over 2019. • 94% of the CSOs recorded a score of 3 or higher, of which 12% (6 CSOs) scored excellent (score 4) In general, there were no significant shifts in advocacy capacities in 2020. Several CSOs indicated to not have significantly changed their leadership capacities in the first half of 2020, therefore they saw no need to complete the 2020 survey; instead we used their 2019 advocacy capacity scores. The limited increase is partly explained by the fact that the capacity assessment in 2020 was conducted in the month of July, meaning that the assessment period covered only six months instead of the normal period of 12 months. Further, some capacity development workshops and engagements scheduled for 2020 were cancelled due to COVID-19, hence CSOs had less exposure in the first half of 2020 than planned for. The pandemic had both positive and negative effects on their capacity strengthening. Due ...The thematic knowledge of CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO organisations rated their knowledge around the identified theme, including the gender and climate aspect around it. A four point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples. Baseline values The 50 CSOs have scored themselves as follows in 2016: Score 1 - 1.9 : 1 CSO Score 2 - 2.9 : 21 CSOs Score 3 - 4 : 24 CSOs 4 CSOs did not complete the survey. The baseline value on the aggregated indicator is 0, as we are at the start of the project and no increase in thematic knowledge has taken place yet. Qualitative observations The CSO scores are divided between moderate and good, while 2 CSOs grade themselves with excellent capacities. The average baseline score on thematic knowledge was 2.9 which is high. SNV realises that the capacity scores might not increase substantially or might even decrease in 2018. The CSOs generally knows a lot about their own situation, but less about global developments. By improving their access to global resources, including alternative solutions that might apply to their situation, the CSOs might realise that potentially there is still a lot to learn. Several CSOs indicated that the integration of gender and/or climate in their thematic area need further improvement. They mentioned that their knowledge on the impact and relevance of climate change for their theme, as well as their knowledge around gender and inclusion strategies is insufficient. Concerning knowledge of climate and its impact on the advocacy issue or sector the CSOs work in, one CSO states that it has some knowledge of climate change and it is working together with different climate initiatives. However the knowledge about the relation between climate and the advocacy issue, such as nutrition and climate change, is limited for the moment. Many CSOs target women in their interventions but as one CSO noted gender is not explicit in their strategy or approaches yet. In view of the character of the data, the individual scores and examples are kept confidential. 14-09-2018: • Almost one third (31%) of the CSOs has increased their thematic capacities in 2017, which is slightly lower than the percentage of CSOs that rated themselves lower than in 2016 (35%). Almost 20% of the CSOs assessed themselves as equally equipped compared to 2016. • The average baseline score on advocacy capacities has remained the same for 2017 (3) • For 8 CSOs a comparison could not be made as they joined the programme during 2017 or did not complete the survey in 2016 or 2017 SNV already realised in 2016 that the capacity scores might not increase substantially or might even decrease in 2017 despite the different capacity development initiatives that took place. The exact reasons for the decrease we don’t know but for example the reflection on advocacy messages may have them realising that some thematic issues are more complex than initially perceived. In general the CSOs have adequate knowledge of recent events, approaches, innovations and challenges related to their advocacy issue. Some are less aware of the favourable environment with respect to their advocacy issue, including the main stakeholders, policies, laws and regulations. In 2017 a significant effort was made to increase the sector knowledge of CSO staff. This was done through facilitating their participation in conferences, engagements, and meetings with sector advisors and stakeholder meetings. CSO staff also obtained theme-related information through increased exposure to available data, including government data, research reports and other evidence products. It is widely acknowledged that the thematic knowledge required is broad and diverse and will require increased focus in 2018. A complicating factor is that in several countries there is no reading culture. CSOs don’t always invest the necessary time in reading theme-related documentation to broaden their thematic knowledge. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information. In view of the character o ...30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: The thematic knowledge of CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment.

Quantitative values over 2018 • 2018 saw a large increase in thematic capacities, with nearly double the amount of CSOs indicating an increase in capacities (59%). This improvement is also seen in the number of CSOs who indicated a decrease, declining from 35% in 2017 to 18% in 2018. • 22% of CSOs did not experience a (significant) change in their thematic knowledge. • The average score on thematic knowledge has increased slightly from 3.0 in 2017 to 3.2 in 2018. • To measure the change in capacities of two CSOs who did not complete the 2017 survey, the 2018 scoring was compared to their 2016 data. One CSO did not complete the 2018 advocacy survey. Qualitative observations: CSOs have expressed an increased understanding and learning of new information through the production of evidence products. The exchange of information amongst national CSOs as well as internationally through the attendance of conferences and exchange visits has also served to further enhance their thematic knowledge. It has also been observed that stronger CSOs assist newer, less developed CSOs operating in the same sector through peer-to-peer learning. Throughout 2018, CSOs worked to increase their thematic knowledge in relation to gender and climate change. Trainings on climate change adaptation, specifically looking at climate change mitigation policies as well as the link be ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The thematic knowledge of CSOs were assessed via a guided self-assessment.

Quantitative values over 2019 • 2019 saw another large increase reported in thematic capacities, with nearly double the amount of CSOs indicating an increase in capacities (45%). This improvement is also seen in the number of CSOs who indicated a decrease, declining from 18% in 2018 to 10% in 2019. • 41% of CSOs reportedly remained stable in their level of thematic knowledge. • The average score on thematic knowledge increased from 3.2 in 2018 to 3.5 in 2019. • One CSO did not complete the 2019 advocacy survey Qualitative observations CSOs have expressed an increased understanding of new information through the production and dissemination of evidence products. The exposure of CSOs through the attendance of national and international conferences and country exchange visits that were facilitated by SNV in 2019 served to further enhance their thematic knowledge. In 2019, CSOs continued to invest in enhancing their thematic knowledge in relation to gender and social inclusion (GESI). Following the conclusions and recommendations of the gender assessment that was conducted in Kenya and Burkina in early 2019, follow-up GESI capacity development sessions were organised in all countries. These resulted in the development of business cases in favour of GESI mainstreaming in the thematic areas showing the impact and the costs for society of not including women and ...30-10-2020: The thematic knowledge of CSOs were assessed via a guided self-assessment.

Quantitative values over 2020 • 2020 saw an increase reported in thematic capacities, with more than a quarter of the CSOs indicating an increase in thematic knowledge (27%). 6 CSOs (12%) indicated a decrease in 2020, and 57% of CSOs remained stable in their level of thematic knowledge. • The average score on thematic knowledge showed a slight increase, from 3.5 in 2019 to 3.6 in 2020. • 46 CSOs scored a 3 or higher, of which 17 CSOs reported a score of 4 (excellent) Several CSOs indicated to not have significantly changed their thematic knowledge in the first half of 2020, therefore they saw no need to complete the 2020 survey; instead we used their 2019 capacity scores. The limited increase is partly explained by the fact that the capacity assessment in 2020 was conducted in the month of July, meaning that the assessment period covered only six months instead of the normal period of 12 months. Further, some capacity development workshops and engagements scheduled for 2020 were cancelled due to COVID-19, hence CSOs had less exposure in the first half of 2020 than planned for. The areas for which the CSOs reported to have increased their knowledge include gender and social inclusion, nutrition sensitive agriculture, post-harvest losses, clean energy solutions, COVID-19 impact and prevention measures, and climate change adaptation. In 2020, CSOs continued to invest in enhancing th ...The organisational sustainability of CSOs has been assessed via a guided self-assessment, which has been newly introduced in 2017. The CSO organisations rated their knowledge around the identified theme, including the gender and climate aspect around it. A four point scale was used: 1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores and to illustrate it with examples.The 2017 (baseline) value on the aggregated indicator is 0, as we introduced this capacity during 2017 hence no increase in capacities has taken place yet. • The CSOs scored themselves as having moderate (51%) or good (41%) organisational sustainability capacities. • Two CSOs assessed their capacities as insufficient. • The average baseline score on organisational sustainability capacities is 2.8 The CSOs benefited from a training on business plan development for their organisation. Coaching further helped the CSOs in identifying the strengths and weaknesses in their organisational performing. As a result of the training and coaching sessions, some CSOs have a business plan in place, stipulating plans of action for the organisational goals that were formulated. Several CSOs mentioned that actions have been taken in 2017 to transform corporate governance, for example new management teams have been set up, more attention was given to team functioning, the legal structure was reviewed and an Advisory Board was put in place. Also CSOs capacities in formulating proposals, in implementing change processes were strengthened during the year. In view of the character of the data, the individual scores and examples are kept confidential.01-05-2019: Explanation indicator: The organisational sustainability of CSOs has been assessed via a guided self-assessment, which has been newly introduced in 2017.

Quantitative values over 2018: • 61% of CSOs (31) experienced an increase in organisational capacities, while three CSOs (6%) have assessed a decrease in organisational sustainability. 14 CSOs did not experience any difference in their organisational capacities over the course of 2018. • A significant increase in capacities has been recorded by CSOs, with 73% rating themselves as having good organisational sustainability capacities in comparison to 41% in 2017. Meanwhile, there are no CSOs that assess their capacities as insufficient. • The average score on organisational capacities is 3.2 in comparison to 2.8 last year. • A comparison was not possible for three CSOs. Qualitative observations: There was an enhanced focus on the development of CSOs’ strategic plans in 2018, an effort that actively supported by the coaches and the provision of trainings/workshops. The locating of funding opportunities was a high priority amongst CSOs, with a number of CSOs succeeding to secure new sources of funding. While there were recorded successes for some CSOs, there was also a trend of decreasing organisational sustainability amongst some CSOs in Kenya. This is largely due to the changing donor climate in Kenya, making it increasingly more challenging to locate traditional forms of donor funding.

We expected these scores to possibly decrease for some CSOs in next reporting period(s) as they would become more aware of additional capabilities needed to remain relevant, leading to a more critical assessment of their own capacities. The 2017 data indeed shows a decrease in scores across one or more capacities in several cases, though the capacity results differ per country. Several CSOs in Burkina, Indonesia, and Rwanda assessed their capacities as rather strong at the start of the project, while their current scores are slightly lower. The current scores might better reflect the CSO capacities than the baseline scores did. Another reason for a decrease in scoring mentioned is staff changes. New CSO leaders have not yet benefited from project outputs such as capacity building and evidence, possibly explaining a lower score. On the other hand, in Ghana and Honduras we see the opposite: the initial capacity scores were somewhat low and they increased in the first year of implementation. Many of the country sector groups consist of a combination of ‘weaker’ and ‘stronger’ CSOs, or CSOs with different backgrounds and skills. Workshops are perfect opportunities for CSOs to learn from each other.In Ghana and Honduras, the CSOs share experiences through social media (whatsapp), which also allows them to raise questions. The mix of CSOs also stimulates the weaker CSOs to work hard in order to catch up with the stronger CSOs, while the stronger CSOs in turn learn from taking a leading role in the partnership. Stronger CSOs in Indonesia are reported to now focus on transferring skills to its junior staff members, which will increase sustainability of the learnings in the organisation. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information. In view of th ...01-05-2019: Explanation indicator The overall increase in capacities of CSOs has been calculated as the combined sum of the difference in scores between 2017 and 2018 of four capacities: leadership, advocacy, thematic knowledge and organisational sustainability. The capacities have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores (1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent) and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2017 and 2018 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2018 • Three-fourth (76%) of the CSOs have showed an increase in assessed capacities in 2018 vs 2017. This is a significant increase from the progress recorded in 2017. It is also interesting to note that 76% of the 51 CSOs have given themselves a score of 3; in 2017 this was only the case for 51% of CSOs. • Eight CSOs recorded a decrease in capacities (16% of the 51 CSOs). • Three CSOs’ capacities remain unchanged between 2017 and 2018 Qualitative observations There has been a notable increase in CSOs’ capacities over the course of 2018. This is reflected in all four advocacy areas and denotes a clear trend in effective and targeted capacity building. The largest increase in capacity was seen around individual leadership skills, with 90% of CSOs scoring a 3 or higher. In Honduras, this has led to the decision amongst CSOs and SNV to no longer focus on providing trainings on leadership and instead to focus more on strengthening their advocacy capabilities. As CSOs’ capacities increase, their credibility amongst stakeholders has strengthened. Generally, CSOs’ enhanced thematic knowledge and the production of high-quality evidence has led to their ability to consistently participate in meetings and their inclusion in decision making processes. In Indonesia, for example, a ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The capacities of the CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSOs rated their capacities in four areas: leadership, advocacy, thematic knowledge and organisational sustainability. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores (1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent) and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2018 and 2019 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2019 • The average score increased from 3.3 in 2018 to 3.5 in 2019. • Nearly half (43%) of the CSOs reported an increase in assessed capacities in 2019 vs 2018 • More than half (53%) of the CSOs’ maintained their capacity levels between 2018 and 2019; • Only one CSO recorded a decrease in capacities, this is a sharp decline from last year (16% of the 51 CSOs). Qualitative observations There has been a steady increase in how CSOs have scored their capacities over the course of 2019. This is reflected in all four capacity areas, with an average score of 3.5, compared to 3.3 in 2018. Near 95% of the CSOs scored good to excellent on the different capacities. The CSOs reported improvements in their leadership capacities in many areas like networking, delegation of responsibilities, team building, transparency and accountability, timeliness, and communication. “I have gained the confidence of facing any person in any capacity to advance my organization’s view of what is not going well versus what is supposed to be done and provide my suggestions for improvements, all these are due to the exposure I got from the V4CP project” - RWIBASIRA Eugene, Executive Secretary, RDO, Rwanda In general, the CSOs reported an increase in their advocacy skills in terms of media engagement, nurturing relationships, network building and evidence creation and dissemination amongst ot ...30-10-2020: The capacities of the CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment.

The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores (1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent) and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2019 and 2020 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2020 The average score over all four capacities showed a slight increase, from 3.5 in 2019 to 3.6 in 2020. For three capacity areas – leadership, advocacy and organisational sustainability - the average score in 2020 was similar to 2019. 16% of the CSOs reported an increase in assessed capacities in 2020 vs 2019; the large majority (73%) of the CSOs’ maintained their capacity levels between 2019 and 2020; and four CSOs recorded a slight decrease in their capacities. Several CSOs indicated to not have significantly changed their capacities in the first half of 2020, therefore there was no need for them to complete the 2020 survey; instead we used their 2019 capacity scores. The capacities of the CSOs have been assessed via a guided self-assessment. The CSOs rated their capacities in four areas: leadership, advocacy, thematic knowledge and organisational sustainability. The CSO leaders were asked to further elaborate their scores (1 - insufficient; 2 - moderate; 3 - good and 4 - excellent) and to illustrate it with examples. An increase in capacity means that the difference between the score in 2019 and 2020 is equal or larger than +0.25 point. A decrease means the difference is larger or equal to -0.25 point. Quantitative values over 2020 The average score over all four capacities showed a slight increase, from 3.5 in 2019 to 3.6 in 2020. For three capacity areas – leadership, advocacy ...Evidence made available by SNV, IFPRI and/or other research/knowledge institutesThis indicator measure the number of knowledge products made available to CSOs that are supportive to their advocacy efforts. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes V4CP is partnering with share policy briefs and/or evidence based knowledge products with the CSOs relevant to the theme they are working on. Examples are research and evaluation reports, learning papers, lectures, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change etc. The baseline of 18 policy briefs/evidence based knowledge products reflects the total number of products shared with the CSOs over 2016. For example in Honduras, in total 8 knowledge products were shared with the CSOs that are relevant for the food and nutrition security theme, such as a study on Improving Food Security and Small Scale Agriculture in Honduras. For the cook stove project, SNV Honduras shared 6 products, like for example the executive summary of NAMA study on efficient stoves made available by Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). 14-09-2018: • In total, 129 evidence products or policy briefs were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes. This is somewhat higher than the target of 97. • Especially FNS benefitted from a large number of evidence products, due to the expertise of and existing research by IFPRI. IFPRI is the research partner for CSOs working on FNS and Resilience. IFPRI has shared evidence products with the involved CSOs since the start of the project in 2016. For WASH and RE, it took longer to match the evidence needs of CSOs with a suitable provider of evidence in-country. In 2017 the evidence needs were made more specific by the CSOs and for RE and WASH cooperation was sought with consultants and research institutes which led to the high number of evidence products. A full list of evidence products shared per theme can be found in the annexes of the 2017 annual report.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: This indicator measures the number of knowledge products made available to CSOs that are supportive to their advocacy efforts. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes V4CP is partnering with share policy briefs and/or evidence based knowledge products with the CSOs relevant to the theme they are working on. Examples are research and evaluation reports, learning papers, lectures, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change etc. Quantitative values over 2018 • In total 120 knowledge products were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes. • Kenya saw a notable increase over the course of 2018, from 8 products shared in 2017 to 29 in 2018. This increase is due to the large number of IFPRI Kenya deliverables that were completed and shared with CSOs in the second half of 2018 for their advocacy purposes. • While most products continued to be FNS-related, it is worth noting that FNS-related products were the only thematic-area that saw a decrease in number of products shared. Meanwhile, 2018 saw a steady increase in WASH-related products shared and a +100% increase in Resilience-related products. Qualitative observations: Like last year, FNS-related knowledge products were the largest number of thematic evidence products shared amongst CSOs. This is due to the expertise of and existing research by IFPRI, who produced 53 knowledge products in 2018. In Rwanda, IFPRI shared a total of 9 knowledge products including the review of major nutrition initiatives and their associating budgets and actual spending at national and selected district levels. The first study of its type in Rwanda, the review was significant for CSOs’ advocacy efforts and resulted in authorities at central and local level committing themselves to pay more attention to FNS planned interventions. Another significant tool developed by IFPRI is the budget tracking tool, which was ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator This indicator measures the number of knowledge products made available to CSOs that support their advocacy efforts. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes with whom V4CP partners share policy briefs and/or evidence-based knowledge products with the CSOs relevant to the theme they are working on. Examples are research and evaluation reports, learning papers, lectures, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change etc. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total 148 knowledge products were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes. • Ghana saw the highest number of evidence products produced and shared with CSOs, sharing a total of 72 evidence products in 2019 – a near doubling of 2018’s 43 products. • The majority of products continue to be FNS-related, reflecting the sector’s prominence in the V4CP Programme. Meanwhile, WASH-related products shared increased by nearly 50%. Renewable Energy is the only sector that saw a decrease in evidence products produced and shared. Qualitative observations Like previous years, FNS-related knowledge products were the largest number of thematic evidence products shared amongst CSOs. This is due to the expertise of and existing research by IFPRI, who produced 42 evidence products in 2019. In Rwanda for example, IFPRI shared a total of 10 knowledge products and where necessary mini workshops were organised during which the knowledge products were discussed with the CSOs with the purpose of CSOs mastering the products. A full list of evidence products produced on behalf of the V4CP programme can be found in annex 2. | 28-04-2020: Explanation indicator This indicator measures the number of knowledge products made available to CSOs that support their advocacy efforts.

SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes with whom V4CP partners share policy briefs and/or evidence-based knowledge products with the CSOs relevant to the theme they are working on. Examples are research and evaluation reports, learning papers, lectures, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change etc. Quantitative values over 2020 • In total 86 knowledge products were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes in the first half of 2020. • The majority of products continue to be FNS-related, 50 in total, reflecting the sector’s prominence in the V4CP Programme. Like previous years, FNS-related knowledge products were the largest number of thematic evidence products shared amongst CSOs. This is due to the presence of the FNS theme in all 6 countries as well as the expertise of and existing research by IFPRI. Significant progress was made over the past five years in generating and disseminating evidence as input into actual policy and strategy processes across all countries and all themes. The evidence generated proved to be a powerful tool to support and provide legitimacy to CSOs’ advocacy actions. Not only has the evidence been of great value to the CSOs, but it has also triggered action from policy makers. Research findings were not only shared with decision makers, but also published in the media, resulting in widespread dissemination to the public, informing citizens and giving them an opportunity to engage Two different evidence generation approaches were followed. In WASH and RE, evidence was either generated by the CSOs and SNV directly, or by commissioning national consultants or local research institutes. In all cases CSOs were fully involved in the development of these studies. Experiences with this set up were ...This indicator measure the number of portals and website that are made accessible for CSOS. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes V4CP is partnering with share portals and websites with CSOs relevant to their advocacy issue. The baseline of 23 portals / websites made accessible reflects the total number of portals and websites shared with the CSOs over 2016. For example, in Ghana two (2) websites were shared with the CSOs on food and nutrition security, one of which being the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (RESAKSS). The WASH CSOs in Ghana received access to the CLTS Knowledge Hub, developed by the Institute of Development Studies. The CSO involved in clean cooking was informed on the existence of a World Bank site being a clean stove knowledge hub.14-09-2018: In total, 142 portals and websites were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes. Portals and websites were shared with CSOs to update or increase their knowledge on specific advocacy topics. These range from websites from international organisations providing general thematic information to websites addressing specific topics in a relevant country. For example, Ghana CSOs working on clean cooking were encouraged to visit the website of the International Energy Agency. This because IEA produces a lot of global and regional level knowledge products on clean cooking technologies and climate change which are relevant for the CSOs advocacy efforts. Kenya CSOs working on Resilience were directed towards the Kenya Auditor general's website for audit reports of the Kenya National and County government. The site provides information on government expenditure which they can use in their advocacy messages. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more information.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: This indicator measures the number of portals and websites that are made accessible for CSOs. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes V4CP is partnering with share portals and websites with CSOs relevant to their advocacy issue. Quantitative values over 2018: • In total 76 portals and websites were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes. Qualitative observations Portals and websites were shared with CSOs to update or increase their knowledge on specific advocacy topics. These range from websites from international organisations providing general thematic information to websites addressing specific topics in a relevant country. There was a notable decrease in the number of portals and websites shared with CSOs in 2018. This is largely due to the fact that the most relevant websites and portals had already been shared with CSOs in 2017, and we therefore also expect another steady decrease for 2019. This is highlighted in Honduras where it has been agreed that for 2019 the focus will be placed on using the documents made available to CSOs over the past 3 years for advocacy purposes, rather than spending time sourcing new information.28-04-2020: Explanation indicator This indicator measures the number of portals and websites that are made accessible for CSOs. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes contributing to V4CP share portals and websites with CSOs relevant to their advocacy issue. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total, 58 portals and websites were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes. Qualitative observations Portals and websites were shared with CSOs to update or increase their knowledge on specific advocacy topics. These range from websites from international organisations providing general thematic information to websites addressing specific topics in a relevant country. There was a decrease in the number of portals and websites shared with CSOs in 2019. This is largely due to the fact that the most relevant websites and portals had already been shared with CSOs in the previous years.30-10-2020: Explanation indicator This indicator measures the number of portals and websites that are made accessible for CSOs. SNV, IFPRI and/or other research institutes contributing to V4CP share portals and websites with CSOs relevant to their advocacy issue. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total, 62 portals and websites were made available to CSOs by SNV, IFPRI, and other researchers or research institutes in the first six months of 2020. • With a total of 28 portals/websites made available in 2020, Ghana continues to be country with the highest number of portals/websites made available to CSOThe harmonised result refers to the number of joint advocacy plans made for each project as well as the number of individual CSO action plans. Each CSO is expected to work with an individual annual action plan, and together with SNV and IFPRI and/or other partners, the CSOs also create/review a joint advocacy plan. The joint advocacy plans have been made in 2016 for all 18 projects and will be reviewed annually.14-09-2018: The joint advocacy plans have been reviewed in 2017 for all 18 projects.

Qualitative observations The individual CSO action plans were made by each individual CSO in 2019/early 2020.This aggregated indicator meant to inform the D&D M&E framework concerns the total number of CSOs participating in the project. Initially, 51 different CSOs were selected to participate in the V4CP programme. At the end of the inception phase, it was decided to cancel the cooperation with one CSO in Kenya due to lack of time and capacity on their end. Hence, at the end of 2016, 50 different CSOs participated in the V4CP programme and created an individual action plan. Most CSOs concentrate on one theme. Five of them, however, all in Ghana, are working on two themes (‘post-harvest losses’ and ‘sustainable nutrition for all’) at the same time.14-09-2018: Early 2016, 51 CSOs joined the program. At the end of 2016, all CSOs except 1 had completed the first year. During 2017, 2 new CSOs joined V4CP and 1 CSO left. At the end of 2017, 51 CSOs completed year two. Most CSOs concentrate on one theme, except for six CSOs that work on two themes. 5 CSOs in Ghana work on ‘post-harvest losses’ and ‘sustainable nutrition for all’ at the same time, and 1 CSO in Kenya is involved in both the dairy and horticulture project within the FNS theme. Apart from the 51 CSOs that are directly engaged by the V4CP programme, many other CSOs are involved in the advocacy efforts through coalitions that have been created. These CSOs are not counted though.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework concerns the total number of CSOs participating in the project Quantitative values over 2018: In 2018, 51 CSOs were directly involved in the programme.

Apart from the 51 CSOs that are directly engaged by the V4CP programme, many other CSOs are involved in the advocacy efforts through coalitions and member organisations that have been established. Some, if not most, of these CSOs are expected to benefit indirectly of the capacity development activities as well as advocacy efforts undertaken by the programme. We do not currently, however, have the capacity to measure this number accurately.28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework concerns the total number of CSOs participating in the project.

We do not currently, however, have the capacity to measure this number accurately.As indicator for CSO participation, formal and informal encounters with government and/or businesses per CSO are measured. Encounters are for example workshops/trainings, hearings, public debates, round tables, commissions, discussions, etc. Informal encounters can be casual, unplanned or unexpected. In the 6 months before the baseline was executed, the CSOs had in total about 130 encounters with either government or businesses, with a high variety in numbers amongst projects, depending on for example the existing participation of CSOs in networks, existing relations with the private sector and government, and involvement in trajectories that are related to the theme in the project. For example, the CSOs in Kenya that work on FNS build partly upon existing FNS projects and therefore already established contacts with relevant stakeholders with whom they had several encounters. The opposite can be noted for the CSOs who work on renewable energy in Burkina Faso. While some CSOs had already established relationships with the Ministry on the broader topic of energy, the specific energy theme chosen for their advocacy efforts in V4CP is new for the CSOs and therefore they did not have specific encounters on this topic in the past 6 months. 14-09-2018: • In total, 898 encounters were reported by all CSOs together. The target was set at 575. In Honduras the number of meetings were much higher than planned due to the election year. Several meetings, forums and talks were organised to position FNS in the agendas of the government candidates. V4CP itself also organized a series of consultation days, workshops and meetings related to the FNS subject with authorities and other stakeholders, like universities, NGOs political parties. Also Indonesia has a high number of encounters. Both WASH and FNS CSOs overachieved their target as CSOs wanted to invest in building personal relationships. The opportunities to meet increased considerably for the WASH CSOs as the sanitation topic became a government priority. RE in Burkina had many relevant meetings with local and regional authorities, with peer CSOs, the private sector, the administrative authorities and the technical services of the Government and Deputies. Highlights were 1) meeting at the National Assembly, where the CSOs were invited to give feedback on the proposed new Energy framework law; 2) meeting with the Minister of Energy during the signing ceremony of a chart on promoting renewable energy by 19 CSOs and 3) meeting with the General Director of the Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, during which he not only expressed his interest to collaborate with the CSOs, but at the same time invited 2 persons to be designed by the coalition to take part in a working group (together with agents of the Ministry of Energy and agents of the Burkinabe Agency of Standards) on the regulation of the renewable energy sector. Generally it is expected that the number of meetings will decrease in 2018. The focus will shift to the quality of meetings and follow-up processes, instead of pushing for more meetings. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: As indicator for CSO participation, meaningful formal and informal encounters relevant to the advocacy issues with government and/or businesses are measured. Encounters are for example workshops/trainings, hearings, public debates, round tables, commissions, discussions, etc. Informal encounters can be casual, unplanned or unexpected. Corrections are done for double counting of encounters across CSOs. Quantitative values over 2018: • In total, 1070 encounters were reported by all CSOs together for the year 2018, which shows an increase of around 200 encounters compared to 2017. Qualitative observations: Contrary to our expectations in early 2018, the number of formal and informal meetings with governments and businesses increased in 2018. More than in 2017 the CSOs were invited for meetings, workshops, and platform discussions which can be seen as a proof that the CSOs are increasingly considered as a credible and knowledgeable discussion partner. Besides, the CSOs also organised several workshops and platform discussions themselves. We noticed that the focus of the encounters shifted from being predominantly for relationship building towards more content discussions. In Honduras, the CSOs involved in the energy–improved cook stoves project held several meetings, field visits, and workshops to place the theme of improved cook stoves and biomass on the agendas of different key actors, to build strategic alliances, as well as to build consensus on the importance of a national strategy in favour of improved cook stoves. The actions undertaken by the CSOs led to an increase in their leading role in the inter-institutional energy platform. It further contributed to their visibility as thematic referees and strengthened their relationships with key stakeholders. As a result, one of the CSOs was invited to present the study "Gender Approach in the Value Chain of Improved Stoves" at the National Pedagogical University Francisco Mor ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator An indicator for CSO participation looks at the number of formal and informal encounters with government and/or businesses that were relevant to the advocacy issue. Encounters are for example workshops/trainings, hearings, public debates, round tables, commissions, discussions, etc. Informal encounters can be casual, unplanned or unexpected. Corrections are done for double counting of encounters across CSOs. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total, 1167 encounters were reported by all CSOs together for the year 2019, which shows an increase of around 200 encounters compared to 2018 Qualitative observations The total number of formal and informal meetings with governments and businesses increased in 2019. This increase is mainly attributable to Ghana where the number of meetings across the themes increased significantly. For the other countries, the number of meetings either remained more or less the same (Burkina Faso, Honduras, Rwanda) or decreased (Indonesia, Kenya). The full description of the indicator achievement can be found in annex 430-10-2020: Explanation indicator An indicator for CSO participation looks at the number of formal and informal encounters with government and/or businesses that were relevant to the advocacy issue. Encounters are for example workshops/trainings, hearings, public debates, round tables, commissions, discussions, etc. Informal encounters can be casual, unplanned or unexpected. Corrections are done for double counting of encounters across CSOs. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total, 658 encounters were reported by all CSOs together for first the first half of 2020 Despite the COVID pandemic the number of meetings remained more or less at the same level in the respective countries in the first half of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Instead of face to face meetings several meetings were organised online, via ZOOM or other online platforms (see for more information below, under DD4)As indicator for CSO participation, the number of verbal interventions at relevant encounters by CSOs are measured. Verbal interventions are for example presentations, comments on statements/ documents, asking for clarifications, briefings, etc. Corrections are done for double counting of interventions during the same encounter.In the 6 months before the baseline was executed, the CSOs together made in total 77 verbal interventions. Again, there is high diversity across projects. While in Rwanda the CSOs did participate in meetings or working groups, they did not make any verbal intervention at these encounters yet. In Indonesia, the CSOs contributed in the form of discussions on WASH related issues with a governmental working group or by giving a presentation on food and nutrition security. 14-09-2018: • In total, 700 verbal interventions were done by the CSOs. The target was set at 489. Similar to the number of encounters, the number of verbal interventions has surpassed its target. While the baseline found that not all CSOs made relevant interventions yet, this has changed during 2017 and all CSOs have made verbal interventions. Comparing the number of meetings versus the number of relevant interventions we see differences between projects. For some projects, the ratio is 1-on-1 meaning in every meeting a relevant intervention as made, and for others it is 1-on-2 meaning per meeting, two verbal interventions were made. For example for Rwanda the ratio is 1-on-1. Examples of verbal interventions are a CSO that intervened verbally during the Agriculture Sector working group on the topic related to Agro inputs budget and distribution, and another CSO led discussions on existing challenges in the area of food fortification and provided updates about the National Food Fortification Alliance (NFA) formalization. For Honduras, the ratio is 1-on-2. An example of a verbal intervention is that CSOs presented the context of Renewable Energy in Honduras with emphasis on improved stoves and statistical data presenting renewable energy services for an audience consisting of political parties and media. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: As indicator for CSO participation, the number of verbal interventions that were meaningful to the advocacy issue and relevant to the audience are measured. Verbal interventions are for example presentations, comments on statements/ documents, asking for clarifications, briefings, etc. Corrections are done for double counting of interventions during the same encounter. Quantitative values over 2018: • In total, over 900 meaningful verbal interventions were made by V4CP CSOs in 2018. • The overview below show the division of the number of verbal interventions over countries as well as the evolution in numbers over time. Qualitative observations: CSOs have further increased their confidence in intervening in meetings and forums in the year 2018 due to their strengthened communication and advocacy skills as well as their increased thematic knowledge. IEA, active in the WASH theme in Kenya, shared the state of public investment in sanitation with MCAs and County Executive county governments in the three counties of Homa Bay, Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet at a roundtable meeting held in November 2018. Other information presented at meetings and forums included specific county alternative budget memos, social audit reports, sanitation progress per county, as well as key findings from the study into the effects of poor sanitation on public health, the environment, and well-being of Homa Bay, Kericho and Elgeyo Marakwet counties. IEA also created awareness around investment and accountability in sanitation during these meetings. Participants were taken through the budget cycle and the existing entry points for participation in the budget process and county public hearings. The CSOs involved in the FNS project in Indonesia had verbal interventions in each of the meetings conducted. Examples of topics raised include ‘the stunting issue based on community health data’, ‘success stories of improved nutrition status due to increased ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The indicator for CSO participation looks at the number of verbal interventions that were meaningful to the advocacy issue and relevant to the audience are measured. Verbal interventions are for example presentations, comments on statements/documents, asking for clarifications, briefings, etc. Corrections are done for double counting of interventions during the same encounter. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total, over 900 meaningful verbal interventions were made by V4CP CSOs in 2019. • The overview below shows the division of the number of verbal interventions over countries as well as the evolution in numbers over time. See annex 4 for the full description of the indicator achievement30-10-2020: Explanation indicator The indicator for CSO participation looks at the number of verbal interventions that were meaningful to the advocacy issue and relevant to the audience are measured. Verbal interventions are for example presentations, comments on statements/documents, asking for clarifications, briefings, etc. Corrections are done for double counting of interventions during the same encounter. Quantitative values over 2020 • In total, over 522 meaningful verbal interventions were made by V4CP CSOs in the first half of 2020. • The overview below shows the division of the number of verbal interventions over countries as well as the evolution in numbers over time.As indicator for CSO participation, the sharing of evidence based knowledge/research products with relevant stakeholders is monitored. Evidence based knowledge/research products are for example research and evaluation reports, learning papers, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change. The indicator measures the number of different knowledge products shared by the group of CSOs together. At the moment of the baseline, two knowledge products, in two out of the 18 projects, were shared with stakeholders. An explanation for this low number is that firstly reconnaissance meetings with government were carried out during the inception phase. The actual evidence creation as well as the packaging for different target groups, etc. started towards the end of the inception phase, after the finalisation of the ToCs and identification of knowledge gaps.14-09-2018: In total, 127 evidence products were shared by CSOs with external stakeholders. The target was set at 84. As the dissemination of evidence products depends on their creation or availability, this number was low during 2016 and has drastically increased during 2017. For example in Rwanda, the 6 FNS CSOs together shared 21 unique evidence products related to their specific advocacy topics around Food and Nutrition Security. One of the CSOs shared a brief of best practices in Uganda on tax reduction of food supplements and minerals premix used in food fortification with authorities in the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and Ministry of Health. Another CSO shared a brochure on food fortification in Rwanda with the Ministry of Agriculture. A third CSO shared a brief on gender mainstreaming in agriculture and nutrition as well as a brief on civic participation, governance, and accountability with regards to budgeting process with nutrition stakeholders at district level. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: As indicator for CSO participation, the sharing of evidence based knowledge/research products with relevant stakeholders is monitored. Evidence based knowledge/research products are for example research and evaluation reports, learning papers, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change. The quantitative value is the number of different products shared by the CSOs, no matter how many stakeholders the products have been shared with. Quantitative values over 2018: • In total 166 evidence products were shared by CSOs with external stakeholders in 2018, a 30% increase from 2017 where a 127 products were shared. Qualitative observations: CSOs stated that over the course of 2018 they have improved their skills in effectively using evidence for their advocacy messages. The use of evidence becomes more and more a standard feature of their advocacy work. They have learnt to distil important information from research reports and other documents, and package this in their advocacy messages adjusted to different audiences. In Ghana for example, the CSO involved in advocacy activities to reduce post-harvest losses (PHL), shared evidence – created by IFPRI - on PHL in Ghana with the private sector. The evidence indicates that the quantity of poor quality food is increasing in Ghana and PHL is further contributing to the reduction in food availability. It further states that increasing food processing and preservation can contribute to a reduction in PHL and that the private sector can play that role effectively as it is economically viable and also complements efforts of the government to reduce PHL. The private sector acknowledged their role in reducing in PHL.28-04-2020: Explanation indicator One of the indicators for monitoring CSO participation is the sharing of evidence-based knowledge/research products with relevant stakeholders. Evidence-based knowledge/research products are for example research and evaluation reports, learning papers, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change. The quantitative value is the number of different products shared by the CSOs, no matter how many stakeholders the products have been shared with. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total 239 evidence products were shared by CSOs with external stakeholders in 2019, a 44% increase from 2018 where 166 products were shared. Qualitative observations For 2019 we observe a significant increase in the number of evidence products that were shared with stakeholders compared to the previous years. In some countries, at the request of the CSOs, their capacities in disseminating evidence were further strengthened in 2019. For example in Ghana, workshops were organised supporting CSOs in the development of policy briefs following the request of CSOs that had expressed a lack of capacity in summarising research reports, distilling important information, and packaging this in key advocacy messages. In Honduras, based on the study of the cost-benefit analysis of the national strategy for adoption of improved stoves, an article has been drafted that will be published in Energies: “A national strategy proposal for improved cook stoves adoption in Honduras: energy consumption and cost-benefit analysis”. The main findings of this study were also integrated in the feedback of the Interinstitutional Platform on the ECLAC/SICA proposal “Road-map and scenarios for the transition from traditional stove to LPG gas stoves,” submitted to the Energy Secretariat. The main findings of the feasibility study regarding the provision and marketing of improved firewood cook stoves were presented to the private sector, s ...30-10-2020: Explanation indicator One of the indicators for monitoring CSO participation is the sharing of evidence-based knowledge/research products with relevant stakeholders. Evidence-based knowledge/research products are for example research and evaluation reports, learning papers, documented approaches, best practices, videos, case studies, briefings, stories of change. The quantitative value is the number of different products shared by the CSOs, no matter how many stakeholders the products have been shared with. Quantitative values over 2020 • In total 137 evidence products were shared by CSOs with external stakeholders in the first 6 months of 2020 Creation and use of evidence are important in advocacy. Building strong local constituencies and actively involving citizens in evidence generation and use adds a human-face and validates demand for improvements. The CSOs were actively involved in generating, interpreting and sharing evidence to inform and convince government and other stakeholders.The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework concerns the nr of advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs. This is not an indicator in the M&E framework of V4CP, measured specifically by each project. Hence we combine the data of two existing indicators which are measured by V4CP. These are the number of formal and informal encounters by CSOs and number of evidence products shared by CSOs with stakeholders. This was not reported on in the Annual Report 2016, as this DD indicator was introduced by DGIS during 2017.14-09-2018: To report on DD4 we combine the data of two existing V4CP indicators: # of encounters by CSOs and # of evidence products shared by CSOs with stakeholders. In total, 1025 advocacy initiatives have been undertaken by CSOs during 2017. The target was set at 659. Most of the advocacy initiatives are encounters by CSOs with government and/or businesses. The other 10% exists of unique evidence products shared with external stakeholders. In Honduras the number of meetings were much higher than planned due to the election year. Several meetings, forums and talks were organised to position FNS in the agendas of the government candidates. Also Indonesia has a high number of encounters. Both WASH and FNS CSOs overachieved their target as CSOs wanted to invest in building personal relationships. RE in Burkina had many relevant meetings with local and regional authorities, with peer CSOs, the private sector, the administrative authorities and the technical services of the Government and Deputies. Highlights were 1) meeting at the National Assembly, where the CSOs were invited to give feedback on the proposed new Energy framework law; 2) meeting with the Minister of Energy during the signing ceremony of a chart on promoting renewable energy by 19 CSOs and 3) meeting with the General Director of the Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, during which he invited 2 persons to take part in a working group on the regulation of the renewable energy sector. The dissemination of evidence products drastically increased during 2017. For example in Rwanda, the 6 FNS CSOs together shared 21 unique evidence products related to their specific advocacy topics around FNS. One of the CSOs shared a brief of best practices in Uganda on tax reduction of food supplements and minerals premix used in food fortification with authorities in the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and Ministry of Health. Another CSO shared a brochure on food fortification in Rwanda wit ...30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework concerns the number of advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs. This is not an indicator in the M&E framework of V4CP, measured specifically by each project. Hence we combine the data of two existing indicators which are measured by V4CP. These are the number of formal and informal encounters by CSOs and number of evidence products shared by CSOs with stakeholders. Please note that apart from encounters and the sharing of knowledge products other advocacy initiatives are carried out, like the for example the involvement of the media, or the building of coalitions with other CSOs. However, these initiatives are not structurally measured by the programme and therefore not reported here. Quantitative values over 2018: • In total 1236 advocacy activities were reported in 2018: 1070 formal and informal meetings have been held and 166 evidence products were shared with relevant stakeholders. Qualitative observations: The difference in number of advocacy initiatives with last year is largely explained by the increase in encounters with relevant stakeholders in 2018. This is contrary to what we expected at the beginning of 2018. More than in 2017, the CSOs were invited for meetings, workshops, platform discussions, which can be seen as a proof that the CSOs are increasingly considered as credible and knowledgeable discussion partners. We noticed that the focus of the meetings shifted from being predominantly for relationship building towards more content discussions. The number of knowledge products shared remained more or less the same in 2018.28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework concerns the number of advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs. This is not an indicator in the M&E framework of V4CP, measured specifically by each project. Hence, we combine the data of two existing indicators which are measured by V4CP.

However, these initiatives are not structurally measured by the programme and therefore not reported here. Quantitative values over 2019 • In total, 1406 advocacy activities were reported in 2019: 1167 formal and informal meetings have been held and 239 evidence products were shared with relevant stakeholders. Qualitative observations The difference in number of advocacy initiatives with last year is explained by the increase in encounters with relevant stakeholders as well as the increase in sharing of evidence products in 2019. The number of meetings increased from 1070 to 1167. In 2019, more than in previous years the CSOs participated in meetings, workshops and platform discussions. The number of knowledge products shared substantially increased, from 166 in 2018 to 239 in 2019, which is an increase of 30%.

However, these initiatives are not structurally measured by the programme and therefore not reported here. Implementation from March 2020 onwards was strongly affected by the COVID pandemic in all countries. The control measures put in place by the governments varied in severity and duration among the countries. The restrictions forced V4CP (CSOs, SNV, IFPRI) to adjust their ways of working and shift to online engagement. These adjustments took some time. Generally, no changes in the Theories of Change (ToCs) were required, but some of the advocacy messaging was adjusted, particularly in WASH, and in some cases, focus was shifted to different target groups or activities were adapted. Due to the increased dependency on online platforms, programme implementation was affected by quality of the internet in the countries. For instance, CSOs in Indonesia made very effective use of the widespread access to the internet and in doing so effectively expanded their outreach. The online engagement also allowed events to become more inclusive. In Honduras, Burkina Faso, and Kenya on the other hand, poor connectivity in rural areas combined with relatively limited experience with online engagement, complicated and delayed the implementation of the advocacy plans. A CSO in Kenya observed that: “…Most ...A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator 'degree of CSO influence on agenda setting related to its issue of interest'. The ladder defines 4 different levels of success in influencing agenda: 0. CSOs have no or only occasional interaction with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 1. CSOs have regular interactions with key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 2. CSOs get opportunity to explain their interests towards key stakeholders in government and/or the private sector 3. CSOs’ interests are ‘put on the agenda’ and are discussed among stakeholders in government and/or the private sector Projects focus on influencing agenda setting at either national level, subnational level or both. The actual score reflects the degree of influence on agenda setting at the moment of the baseline measurement. Influencing agenda at national level - level 0: 9 projects - level 1: 5 projects Influencing agenda at subnational level - level 0: 3 projects - level 1: 4 projects Qualitative observations This shows that more than half of the projects the CSOs have no or occasional interaction on the advocacy issue with key stakeholders, and the remaining projects the CSO do have regular interaction with key stakeholders but haven't had the opportunity yet to explain their interests at these encounters. For example, the CSO working on the off grid theme in Ghana has regular meetings with the Ministry of Energy and the Energy Commission, but it hasn't got the opportunity yet to explain their interests in mini-grid solutions to these stakeholders; this is expected to happen in 2017. Within the resilience theme in Kenya, the CSOs work on getting climate change on the agenda at both the national as county level. The current situation is that there are no interactions or only few in this specific area. 14-09-2018: Agenda setting is measured for 36 occurrences. Progress has been established in 17 cases at national level and in 14 cases at sub-national level. In 1 case cooperation with businesses improved, During 2017, the coalition of RE CSOs in Burkina was heard at the assembly for the examination of the draft law on the general regulation of energy in Burkina. To this end, a contribution note aimed at improving the access of the poorest households to the ER was elaborated by the thematic group and handed over to the Commission for Environment and Climate Change Development in Burkina Faso. The CSO coalition has been invited by the Ministry for the adoption of the text relating to the establishment of a Burkina Faso Energy Council ANEREE. The sanitation CSOs in Kenya influenced the sanitation planning agenda at county level by participating and providing verbal and written input in the formulation of the new county integrated development plans (CIDPs) and related budgets as well as doing an analysis of the previous period plans to see whether project implementation actually took place over the reported period of time. It is expected that the new five year plan will have increased sanitation focus and include an increased range of sanitation topics, while the budgets will have clearer allocations for sanitation specific activities. The Resilience CSOs in Burkina also noted a positive change at the local level, where CSOs met with mayors to explain their interests. Then the mayors of Guiaro and Béré took the initiative to formalize a partnership with one of the CSOs around the effective application of policies in their communes.

At national level, progress has been established for 16 occurrences. At sub-national level, the CSOs succeed in 11 out of the 13 reported cases to increase their influence on agenda setting. Influencing the agenda setting of the private sector was measured for two cases, of which there was an increase noted for one, while for the other the situation remained the same. In both cases the CSOs have regular interactions with the involved private sector actors and get the opportunity to bring forward their interests (level 2). • The graphs below show the shift in levels of influence of CSOs on agenda setting over time.

The ladder defines five different levels of collaboration (level 0-4): 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, governments and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interests The actual score reflects the level of collaboration at the moment of baseline measurement. Level 0: 13 projects Level 1: 5 projects As we are the start of the project, projects don’t demonstrate increased collaboration between CSOs, government and businesses yet, so the baseline score for all projects is zero (0). Qualitative observations Generally the cooperation between CSOs and government/businesses around the identified advocacy issues is either non-existent or in an infancy stage. In 13 projects there are no signs of a starting cooperation yet between the CSO and the government and/or business related to the advocacy issue; in these cases the CSOs don't or only have occasional encounters with the governments and/or businesses (level 0). In the remaining 5 projects the CSOs do have regular meetings with the government and/or businesses, but generally they don't get or only get limited requests for input/data or joint development of plans/projects (level 1). For example the CSOs involved in FNS in Ghana are beginning to influence agenda towards collaboration by sharing information on sustainable nutrition with local authorities and the private sector, but these are yet to be reciprocated by the decentralized bodies to pave way for thorough discussions and future collaboration. 14-09-2018: Increased collaboration is measured for 29 occurrences. In 14 cases at national level (gov't ) progress was established and at local level in 10 cases. In 2 cases cooperation with businesses improved. The FNS CSOs in Burkina Faso assessed their situation at the end of 2016 at the lowest level, as exchanges between CSOs and the national government about modernisation of family farms only took place at an occasional basis. At the end of 2017, the CSOs found themselves in a better position. The collaboration between CSOs and the government has improved, as the CSOs are now more actively sharing and discussing relevant information. Staff from the Ministry of agriculture is showing increased engagement by participating in several activities organised by the CSOs. They have also invited the CSOs to their meetings. One deputy shared a bill on co-investment in the agro-silvopastoral sector with the CSOs for feedback before sharing it with the parliament. Through their feedback, the CSOs aimed at getting their advocacy priorities integrated in the bill. The FNS CSOs in Honduras indicated that, although they have participated in more events and had more interventions, they did not yet succeed in improving the coordination around concrete actions with the FNS Technical Unit of the government. A similar situation for the RE CSOs in Honduras. They had frequent communications and meetings that opened the space a little bit more. Relevant information was generated, analysed and shared with key actors. The level of collaboration differs per CSO and the area they work in. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.30-04-2019: Explanation indicator: A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘collaboration between CSOs, government and businesses’. The ladder defines five different levels of collaboration (level 0-4): 0. no or only occasional formal or informal encounters between CSOs, governments and private sector take place that are related to the issue 1. regular meetings and communications take place between CSOs, government and/or the private sector which are related to the issue 2. relevant theme related information / data are sought, shared and discussed among CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 3. plans that include CSOs interests are (jointly) made by CSOs, government and/or the private sector. 4. follow up actions are taken that includes CSOs interest. Quantitative values: The CSOs collaboration with the government, the private sector, and other CSOs considerably improved over the years, as is shown in below graph. Whereas in 2017 hardly any joint plans were made that included the interests of the CSOs, in 2018 in 57% of the cases these plans were developed, and in 4% of the reported cases these plans were followed up by joint actions. Qualitative observations: Cooperation with the government has intensified over the years and we see that CSOs are increasingly regarded as respected partners by the government. This is demonstrated by the increase in invitations by government bodies for CSOs input in meetings, in the development of strategic plans and policies, as well as in the organisation of activities that are of mutual interest. An example of such intensified cooperation is the CSOs working in the area of FNS in Indonesia. They reported that they have been able to work jointly with district governments in different activities. They collaborated with the district government in conducting a stunting baseline survey as input for the development of regulations and a roadmap to reduce stunting. They supported the district government in developing d ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘collaboration between CSOs, government and businesses’.

Quantitative values over 2019 • By 2019, all formal collaboration with government, private sector, and other CSOs is now in the form of regular meetings with relevant information shared at a minimum for all (but one) recorded collaborative efforts. • Whereas in 2018 only 4% of the reported cases plans were followed up by joint actions (level 4), in 2019 this has increased to 30%. The CSOs ‘collaboration with the government, the private sector, and other CSOs considerably improved over the years, as is shown in above graph. In Honduras for example, progress was observed in the joint development of the “National Strategy for the adoption of improved stoves (ENAEM)”. Key stakeholders in the improved cook stove value chain show increased interest and commitment to participate in the construction of the national strategy for the adoption of efficient stoves (ENAEM), and to put the issue on the agenda of involved government institutions. V4CP contributed to this process through amongst others the strengthening of the thematic and advocacy capacities of its partner organisations, the organisation of informative and advocacy events for key stakeholders, the generation and dissemination of evidence as well a ...30-10-2020: Explanation indicator A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘collaboration between CSOs, government and businesses’.

The CSOs ‘collaboration with the government, the private sector, and other CSOs considerably improved over the years, as is shown in above graph. CSOs increased capacity and credibility helped them to more effectively engage with other sector actors. V4CP CSOs built or joined alliances with other CSOs and/or brought interested parties together in so-called multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSP) to influence policy development. The final evaluation also confirmed that V4CP has increased the range and effectiveness of collaboration by partner CSOs in support of activities to their objectives. The collaboration between V4CP partner CSOs, and with government (at various levels), were the two most often cited relationships that have been positively influenced through the course of the programme. Collaboration with private sector actors impr ...A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘Degree to which accountability mechanisms are functioning’. The ladder defines 7 different levels of collaboration (level 0-6): 0. CSOs are not provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 1. CSOs are provided with information - about decisions, decision making processes, policies - by government / companies 2. Existence of ad-hoc fora for consultation with CSOs. CSOs are given the opportunity to provide information to decision makers 3. Government /companies are transparent in their decisions and actions. Government / companies provide feedback on demands of CSOs 4. Formal structures / procedures for feedback/consultations with CSOs are established 5. Government/ companies act on the demands of CSOs through changes in rhetoric and changes in policies and practices 6. Government / companies pro-actively engage with CSOs in determining the policy agenda, in seeking information and possible options The actual score reflects the degree of functioning of accountability mechanisms at the moment of the baseline measurement. Level 0: 4 projects Level 1: 9 projects Level 2: 3 projects As we are the start of the programme, no improvements in the functioning of accountability mechanisms have taken place yet, so the aggregated baseline score is zero (0) Qualitative observations Of the 16 projects that focus on improving accountability mechanisms, in 4 projects the CSOs are not provided with any information by the government or private sector. For instance in Honduras, the demands of citizens or organizations related to the theme of FNS and RE-Ecostoves are not answered, there is no transparency of decision-making, there is no explicit political will or mechanism that obliges government and companies to justify their decisions and actions, and the voice of CSOs is hardly heard. In the other 12 V4CP projects the CSOs are provided with information by the government and or businesses (level 1) and in 3 out of these 12 projects the CSOs are also given the opportunity to provide information to the decision makers, and/or ad hoc consultations between CSOs and decision making bodies in the government/private sector take place (level 2). For instance in the dairy sector in Kenya, the Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) shows its openness to collaborate with stakeholders in the development of its plans by inviting CSOs to the 'Sustainable Partnerships in Milk Marketing' meeting held in August 2016; the same board launched a consumer awareness campaign to educate Kenyans on milk safety issues following the increasing number on concerns it received on the quality of milk and milk products; the campaign is meant to inform consumers where to channel issues on contaminated milk in the market. 14-09-2018: • Improved functioning of accountability mechanisms is measured for 22 occurrences, of which 15 show an increase versus 2016. For 5 cases the situation remained at the same level, and for 2 cases the accountability decreased. • Below graph shows the shift in levels of functioning accountability mechanisms. For example, at the end of 2016, over 25% of the cases were at level 0, meaning CSOs were not provided with information. At the end of 2017, this has decreased to 13%. Especially the existence of ad-hoc fora has increased (level 2), which was at the moment of the baseline 20% and increased to 67% at the end of 2017. In none of the cases the level of functioning of accountability mechanisms surpassed level 3. In the past year a shift has taken place from CSOs being provided with information only to a situation in which ad-hoc fora are established where CSOs get the opportunity to provide information to decision makers. An example is the clean cooking project in Ghana. The CSOs reported that the local governments have become more accountable. The CSOs cooperated with different staff within these local authorities. They assessed the authorities as being more transparent in their actions and decisions and where necessary the authorities created appropriate platforms for discussion. The CSOs were also invited to participate in the annual performance review. In Burkina, for the FNS theme the functioning of accountability didn’t change in the past year and remained at level 2. The national programme on rural sector, which is the main policy of the Ministry of Agriculture, was revised in 2017. The CSOs participated in the revision process and integrated many points from their advocacy plans.

At baseline, in none of the occurrences the government was transparent/provid ...We used the policy maker rating tool to determine the support of policy and/or decision makers for the advocacy issue. For each advocacy issue a number of policy makers and decision makers who are influential concerning the issue are identified. Each policy/decision maker was then separately scored on the degree to which he/she supports the advocacy issue. Four levels of support are identified: 1. not at all supportive or in opposition: no evidence this person has spoken about, taken action, or otherwise directly supported the issue. OR, evidence exists this person opposes the issue. 2. not very supportive: this person has verbally expressed some support, but primarily in one-on-one conversations and small group meetings. 3. supportive: this person demonstrates support through actions such as: voting, speaking in public, quoted in the media, encouraging others to support the issue, helping negotiation/support bills. 4. extremely supportive: this person is known as a champion for the issue, plays a leadership role in advancing the issue, and consistently makes the issue a priority on the agenda. The policy maker ratings is repeated on an annual basis to monitor changes in support over time and to continuously guide/inform the advocacy strategy. As the projects are in their initial phase there is no increase in support of policy makers for the advocacy issues yet, so the baseline value on the aggregated indicator is zero (0). Qualitative observations Projects identified a number of knowledgeable resource persons (3-5) that were asked to rate a number of selected policy/decision makers that are influential concerning the issue. In Burkina Faso for example for each theme 3-4 influential policy/decision makers, being either persons or committees, were identified and rated. The resource persons rated the decision makers’ support for the advocacy issue and provided evidence that supported their rating. The scores given to individual decision makers varied from not at all supportive (average score 1,2) to highly supportive (average score 3.6). The evidence the assessors provided to underpin their score is rich and contains very useful input for the themes’ advocacy strategies. In Honduras 6-9 decision makers were rated, depending the theme, by 3-4 resource persons. The support of the decision makers for the advocacy issue was rated as not very supportive for both themes. In view of the potential sensitivity of the data, the collected information is kept confidential. 14-09-2018: Over 2017, it was reported that 122 policy or decision makers have showed an increase in support for the advocacy topic. It is to be noted that this value of 122 might not be fully reliable, as not all projects have yet fully grasped the method used to measure progress in political will. Hence we need to be careful to make statements about progress on this indicator. The reported figure not only includes persons that show an increased support over time, but also persons that simply showed support for the advocacy topic. This could mean that the actual number of persons is lower than 122. In Kenya and Honduras elections were held and as a consequence decision makers were replaced in 2017. This made it hard to compare the baseline to the situation end 2017/early 2018, as the initially targeted policy/decision makers changed. In Honduras a new mapping of stakeholders will take place in the first quarter of 2018. In Rwanda, the CSOs have adjusted and further specified the stakeholders they want to target as a result of the review of the ToC and advocacy strategy that took place end 2017. They have identified new decision/policy makers and therefore cannot make a comparison with 2016. In Indonesia, the CSOs noted that in total 25 policy makers have shown an increased support (WASH plus FNS; most of them are active at district level. In view of the potential sensitivity of the data, the collected information is kept confidential.01-05-2019: Explanation indicator: We used the policy maker rating tool to determine the support of policy and/or decision makers for the advocacy issue.

Over 2018, it was reported that 178 policy or decision makers have showed an increase in support for the advocacy topic, versus 122 in 2017. Some caution in interpreting these figures is necessary as not all countries measured ‘political will’ in the same way. Some countries shifted from measuring the political will of individuals to measuring the political will of institutions because individuals appear to regularly change positions while institutions are considered more stable. However the measurement of the support of institutions also differs from one country to the other.

Inclusive businesses are entrepreneurial initiatives where buying from and supporting poor people becomes part of the core business of a company, and leads to benefits for both. Poor people may get involved in businesses as suppliers, employees, consumers and distributors. 9 out of the 18 projects have defined an indicator that focus specifically on inclusive businesses and increased investments. The definition of the indicators depend on the specific advocacy goals of the individual projects and therefore differ from one project to the other. Although all these 9 projects focus on more inclusive businesses and increased investments by the private sector, the variety in specific objectives and related indicators among these 9 projects is high, as is shown by the below selection of indicators used: • # of sanitation business and Microfinance Institutions involved in delivery of sanitation services that are affordable for different customers (including poor people); • # of local manufacturers and/or certified small and medium scale eco-stoves businesses; • % of investment increase in food fortification by food processing companies; • # of products offered by financial institutes in support of clean cooking. As we are at the start of the project, businesses haven’t become more inclusive or increased their investments yet, so the aggregated baseline score is 0. Qualitative observations The baseline data of the individual projects provide more detail on the current status of the investments and inclusiveness of targeted businesses. Projects have determined their baseline values based on the projects’ specific indicators. For example the clean cooking theme in Ghana defined as indictor ‘# of products offered by financial institutes in support of clean cooking’. In Ghana, financing models for clean cooking products are mostly informal. Current participation of mainstream financial institutes (FIs) in end-user financing is marginal. FIs see the clean cooking sector to be non-profitable and risky due to a lack of credible business cases. If products are available, the interest rates are very high, resulting in low interest of consumers. 14-09-2018: Over the course of 2017, 3 projects showed an increase on their indicator. These are Indonesia WASH, Kenya Resilience, and Ghana clean cooking. The other projects did not show a change versus the baseline or do not monitor this indicator. The clean cooking project in Ghana reported an increase of three new sales arrangements among manufacturers, distributors, retailers and end users in low income bracket. One of the CSOs was able to arrange a sales compact between a manufacturer and the Navrongo health research Centre in partnership with the Colorado University. In this arrangement, 600 biomass imposed cook stoves and 300 LPG systems were bought from manufacturers/distributers and disseminated at subsidised prices to end-users. In Indonesia, the WASH CSOs and SNV noted that since the end of 2016, 9 new sanitation businesses and microfinance institutions (MFIs) got involved in the delivery of sanitation services that are affordable for different customers including poor people. The CSOs contributed to this achievement through creating awareness on the open defecation free (ODF) target within the business sector. They also had several meetings with local entrepreneurs in which business opportunities in the sanitation sector were discussed. One of the external factors that influenced the increasing number of sanitation businesses was the enforcement of the regulation that aims at accelerating access to sanitation and achieving ODF. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.All projects monitor on a yearly basis the size of budget allocated and/or spent on a specific advocacy issue. on the aggregated budget indicators is zero (0). Qualitative observations Most projects experienced that finding reliable financial figures is challenging. Across the countries, access to government budget data is limited or complex to retrieve as budgets are spread over different budget holders and/or different budget lines which do not exactly match with the topics we work on. Expenditure data in particular is hard to get; expenditure data is not always published or, if published, it is only late in the year. Search for and analysis of data is still ongoing. As it is a complex exercise IFPRI is involved in various countries. Several projects intend to use the budget allocation and expenditure data to support their advocacy efforts. 14-09-2018: In principal, all projects monitor on a yearly basis the size of budget allocated and/or spent on a specific advocacy issue. It appeared to be hard if not impossible for the CSOs to access reliable data on the budget and expenditure related indicators. Only in two cases 2017 data on allocation and/or expenditure could be retrieved. This was the case for Honduras RE where an increase in the annual budget allocation and expenditure for the development and use of renewable energy was noted for 2017, as well as for Burkina Resilience where the budget was tripled in 2017. A substantial decrease in budget is anticipated in 2018 for the latter though, as sector budgets will be shifted to security because of recent terrorist attacks. In 2017, most projects continue to experience that finding reliable financial figures is challenging. Across the countries, access to government budget data is limited or complex as budgets are spread over different budget holders or different budget lines that do not exactly match with the advocacy topics, or budget holders are hesitant to provide transparency on budget data. Expenditure data in particular is hard to get; expenditure data is not always published or, if published, it is only late in the year or a year later. Nevertheless, search for and analysis of data is ongoing and will continue in the coming years. IFPRI is supporting CSOs in budget tracking in various countries. Several projects intend to use the budget data to support their advocacy efforts. For example in Kenya it again appeared difficult to retrieve data. Due to national elections in 2017, the budget cycle was expedited leaving very little room for CSO participation. It was difficult to access and interrogate allocation figures for 2017/18. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.01-05-2019: Explanation indicators: In principal, all projects monitor on a yearly basis the size of budget allocated and/or spent on a specific advocacy issue. Quantitative values over 2018: • An increase in budget allocation was found for 8 projects, and for one of these projects there was also a slight increase in expenditure. • There was a decrease in budget expenditure for two projects, in Honduras for expenditure on ecostoves and in a few districts in Indonesia on FNS. Qualitative observations: Access to reliable budget allocation and expenditure data remains a very challenging, near impossible task for CSOs. While more data was retrieved for 2018 than in 2017, a number of projects made the decision to no longer attempt measuring data for this indicator as it was perceived to be an unfeasible task. In Honduras, data is collected by consultants whose experience and status enables them to access unofficial data. Over the course of 2017, a decrease in expenditure on improved cookstoves. In 2018 a total of 25,998 improved stoves were delivered, 34,004 less than in 2017, with expenditure on improved cookstoves recorded as -4% in 2018. This decrease is appears to be the result of both cultural as well as political factors. There remains an attachment by Hondurans to the traditional (or similar design) stoves, thereby making adoption of improved cookstoves slow. Analysing the 2015-2018 data, it also appears that the provision of improved cookstoves was used for political purposes. There was a considerably higher level of expenditure on improved stoves during the political campaign years, and a significant drop in spending (not even half of what was planned) in non-political campaign years. IFPRI’s budget tracking tool has also supported CSOs with assessing governments’ budget allocation and expenditure. In Rwanda, IFPRI collaborated with RDO in tracking the budget allocated by the government to support nutrition interventions in the country. Findings from ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicators In principal, all country themes monitor on a yearly basis the size of budget allocated and/or spent on a specific advocacy issue. Quantitative values over 2019 • An increase in budget allocation was found for 10 country projects, and for one of these projects there was also a slight increase in expenditure. • There was a recorded decrease in budget allocation for the FNS theme in Rwanda, however this was due to the fact that the budget tracking tool used had not been adapted to reflect the ministerial shift to decentralised budgets in Rwandese districts. Qualitative observations Access to reliable budget allocation and expenditure data remains a very challenging, near impossible task for CSOs. For a large number of country projects, data was not retrieved as accessing accurate and reliable data proved too difficult. In some cases where data was collected, projects note that the data is not reliable and should therefore only be interpreted as an estimate. In Rwanda’s case, the team notes that the decrease in budget allocation recorded for one of the targeted Ministries is as a result of budget being decentralised and the budget tracking tool not accommodating this new change. Consequently, the tracking tool only reflected budget allocated a national level and did not capture the budget that was previously at national level that had been decentralised and handed over to districts. It is therefore unlikely that there was truly a significant decrease in budget allocated to FNS in Rwanda as the data recorded does not reflect all FNS budgets. RDO, with the support of IFPRI, intends to track the decentralised district budgets next year (in 2020). In Ghana’s WASH sector, an average increase of 2.2% in budget allocation to Sanitation & Hygiene was recorded however there was a general decrease in budget allocated to S&H. This general lack of progress in budget allocation at district level was expected due to a directive issued in M ...30-10-2020: Explanation indicators In principal, all country themes monitor on a yearly basis the size of budget allocated and/or spent on a specific advocacy issue. Quantitative values over 2020 • An increase in budget allocation was recorded for 8 cases • There was a recorded decrease in budget allocation for two cases, and for 4 cases the budget allocation remained the same. Qualitative observations Access to reliable budget allocation and expenditure data is a challenging, near impossible task for CSOs. For a large number of country projects, data was not retrieved as accessing accurate and reliable data proved too difficult. Examples of increased budget allocation include: In Ghana, budget-tracking work done by GHACCO and ORGIIS showed an average increase of 11.5% in 2020 budget allocations for clean cooking in V4CP target districts, following continued CSO engagement to ensure clean cooking in district strategic plans was reflected in the annual budget. In Kenya, a key ambition of the V4CP CSOs for 2020 was to influence sustained increased budget to agriculture (livestock) by county governments in line with the CADDP threshold of 10% of the national budget. The CSO KLMC influenced the County Government of Isiolo and Marsabit to increase budget estimates for the financial year 2019 -2020 for the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (DoALF) to 9.9% and 8.7% respectively against a baseline of 6% for Isiolo and 5% for Marsabit. CSOs undertook a social audit to validate the expenditure for this allocation to the livestock sector. Again in Kenya, alternative budget memos, developed by the V4CP WASH CSOs and presented in county-level round-table meetings resulted in several additional allocations for sanitation purposes. For 2020 year the CSO-network in Elgeyo Marakwet County followed up on the 2019 memo which resulted in the allocation of budget for the financial year 2020/21 of at least EUR 11,000 to support the roll-out of the community ...The ladder defines six different levels of collaboration (level 0-5): 0.

New/adjusted legislative framework is applied and/or enforced, but without appropriate means and/or not equally applied (across geographical areas, socio-economic groups, men/women ….) 5. New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforced The actual score reflects the status of the targeted policies, regulations, etc. at the moment of the baseline measurement. The baseline shows the following results for the in total 39 policies that are targeted in V4CP: Level 0: 13 policies Level 1: 17 policies Level 2: 4 policies Level 3: 5 policies As we are the start of the project, no progress in developing, adopting, implementing new/adjusted policies has taken place, so the baseline score on the aggregated indicator is zero (0) Qualitative observations Overall, the vast majority of current policies the CSOs advocate for are either non-existing or policies are existing but adjustments in the interest of the advocacy issue are not being considered. For example for renewable energy in Burkina Faso, a policy on secondary education exists, but this policy doesn't include renewable energy as a topic and therefore the score is 0. Concerning resilience in Burkina, there are no initiatives yet to adjust the texts and regulations related to pastoral resilience, hence a similar score of 0. In Ghana and Indonesia, the level of policy progress is different as a number of policies are already in place but not yet applied or enforced (level 3). In Ghana this is the case for the National Nutrition Policy. This policy has been adopted but is not enforced in terms of implementation. Coordination is weak and there are no clear structures and responsibilities. Most of the regions and districts do not have the Nutrition Implementation Committees as mandated by the policy. In Indonesia, the Community Based Total Sanitation Programme and Policy are in place but not applied at all levels yet as there is no adequate implementation structure at provincial and district level. 14-09-2018: • During 2017, 69 policies were monitored. Progress in terms of development has been noted for 55% (38) of the policies, while 45% of the policies have not showed progress. • Compared to the baseline, there are less cases where no policy exist or where a new/adjusted policy is considered. There is an increase in policies that have been drafted, adopted, and also in policies that have been applied, but yet without appropriate means Less than half of the policies have not changed during 2017, hence no progress could be observed. For the other half, progress was made. However, we have to be cautious about our contribution to this progress. CSOs are often one of the many players advocating for changes, and in some cases are not yet included in policy debates or their input is not taken into account. The analysis of the actual role of V4CP and CSOs has received more attention in the PME process during 2017, and will continue to be an attention point during 2018. An example of policies remaining stable is the case of sanitation in Ghana, where inclusive S&H policies are monitored by the national government (MSWR). At the moment of the baseline, a new framework was being considered and this was still the case end 2017. Although planning guidelines have been reviewed to include sanitation indicators and all decentralised bodies are mandated to use them, overall there was no progress observed. However, progress was made at the local level were by-laws were adopted by in several district. CSOs supported these district authorities with developing action plans to enhance the formulation and gazetting of their bye-laws. An example of progress is Kenya where the CSOs working on FNS-dairy reported progress related to the National Food Security and Nutrition Policy. The policy was already in place in 2016, the CSO participated in a stakeholder forum in 2017 to review its implementation framework ensuring that the framework promotes food safety and quality contr ...01-05-2019: Explanation indicator: A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘Progress in developing, adopting, implementing new/adjusted inclusive* policies, regulations or frameworks’.

New/adjusted legislative framework is effectively and equally applied and/or enforced Quantitative values over 2018: • Over the course of 2018, CSOs narrowed their focus on policy development and implementation resulting in a number of policies identified during the baseline period to be dropped. The number of policies monitored in 2018 consequently decreased from 71 to 56. • Of the 56 policies, progress was achieved for 24 policies (43%) while for 31 policies (55%) no progression was recorded. • One policy achieved full effective and equal implementation (level 5) in 2018, while 8 policies achieved were applied but without the appropriate means or equal application. This is a slight increase from 2017, where 6 policies reached level 4. Qualitative observations: In 2018, the number of policies/laws/frameworks being monitored and targeted by CSOs decreased from the original 71 to 56. This was for many cases a conscious decision on the part of the CSOs, opting to focus their advocacy efforts on policies where there was either more political will or more relevant to achieve their advocacy s ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘Progress in developing, adopting, implementing new/adjusted inclusive policies, regulations or frameworks’.

Rather than recording the overall average score of policies per theme and per country, the programme now monitors all the policies that are being targeted within V4CP individually. Consequently, the number of policies targeted in 2019 increased from 56 to 102. Of the 102 policies, progress was achieved for 49 policies (47%) while for 50 policies (48%) no progression was recorded. Two new policies achieved full effective and equal implementation (level 5) in 2019, increasing the total number of policies scoring level 5 to three. Four policies recorded a decrease in progress. Below graph shows the progression of the targeted policies over the years 2016-2019. Qualitative observations A shift in the approach to monitoring this indicator took place in 2019.

Contributing factors included collaboration with government stakeholders and other CSOs, the use of evidence, the use of media channels and public forums to hold actors accountable, educating stakeholders as well as the recognition of CSOs as trustworthy knowledgeable partner. Hinderances to policy change that were mentioned included bureaucracy, government staff turnover, politicisation of advocacy issue, influence of strong external stakeholders with opposing inte ...As we are the start of the programme, no new/adjusted policies are implemented yet, so the baseline score for all projects is zero (0) 14-09-2018: • During the course of 2017, 5 policies were implemented while these were not yet applied in 2016. An LPG policy has been implemented in Ghana. V4CPs role in connection with this has to do with CSO educational engagements with the districts on the new direction of LPG distribution so that they support its smooth implementation. The policy at the moment is however frought with challenges related to interest of oil marketing companies. In Kenya, with the support of the Resilience CSO, Isiolo county government has operationalized the Livestock Markets Management Bill which was approved and adopted by the county assembly. Specific legislations to inform and guide the stakeholders mandated with the implementation of the law have been formulated. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.01-05-2019: Explanation indicator: The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework is covered by the SNV indicator indicated above. Quantitative values over 2018: • During the course of 2018, five new policies progressed from draft stage to being adopted and (partially) implemented. Of these five policies, one policy was effectively and equally applied and/or enforced. • Four policies at level 4 did not progress over the course of 2018, making the total number of policies adopted and (partially) implemented nine. Qualitative observations: In 2018, the FNS SH4A sector CSOs operating in Ghana successfully adjusted and incorporated the national nutrition policy (NNP). CSOs supported certain districts in introducing District Nutrition Committees responsible with overseeing the implementation of the national nutrition policy. This was a process that had spanned the past two years, where CSOs worked on developing and mainstreaming the district plans for the enforcement of the NNP. CSOs specifically worked to inform districts and stakeholders of the NNP, incorporating it into their medium term plans. Only in Slaga District was the District Nutrition Committee not established.28-04-2020: Explanation indicator A scoring rubric is used to unpack the indicator ‘Progress in developing, adopting, implementing new/adjusted inclusive policies, regulations or frameworks’.

Qualitative observations In Kenya, due to the advocacy efforts of GROOTS, the Kitui County plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 now includes projects on clean cooking. In 2019 the implementation of the energy projects started through the annual development plans on energy. Clean cooking gained a lot of support, including budget support since it was included in the CIDP. The County through the Annual Development Plans on Energy has installed clean cook stoves in Nguni and Mutha Wards; purchased, distributed and installed 10 electronic and 5 manual briquettes machines; trained communities on briquettes making technology and purchased seedlings and water storage tanks for schools/ churches for the establishment of woodlots for wood fuel.

V4CP partner CSOs have contributed to the development of these plans which include GESI and climate change aspects. The CSOs also ensured engagement of key stakeholders in the development of the plans. In Ghana inclusive by-laws were implemented in several districts. The West and East Gonja Municipal Assemblies for example have developed and gazetted inclusive sanitation and hygiene by-laws. These laws are put in place to ensure compliance of WASH activities set by the Municipalities. They include issues regarding open defecation, sanitation at the households, schools and public places. They also entail the cha ...As we are the start of the pr0gramme, no new/adjusted policies are developed, blocked, or adopted yet, so the baseline score for all projects is zero (0)14-09-2018: • During the course of 2017, 28 policies were developed or adopted, while these were at a ‘lower stage’ of policy development in 2016. In Kenya, 6 sanitation policies were adopted at county level in the course of 2017. Three counties developed their Sanitation Investment Plan (CSIP) and a sanitation bill. The CSIP are to guide investment in sanitation and indicate which areas need the most urgent attention in the sanitation sector. The V4CP CSO has been working with the three counties to support the review of the CISPs. There is a concern though about its effective implementation which is lagging behind and needs more buy in from key officers and a suitable budget, so the CSO will advocate for enforcement of the plans. Also in Kenya, CSOs working on dairy noticed successes as the Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) invited a CSO and other dairy stakeholders to review the Dairy Industry Regulations. The regulations cover important aspects of safety and loss. In this meeting the CSO presented the need to enforce checks in the manufacture of feeds to reduce the incidence of aflatoxin in milk. The regulations are being revised for submission to parliament. In Indonesia, three new/adjusted regulations and frameworks were developed to support the implementation of the gender and climate change sensitive food and nutrition flag-ship program. It includes the RPJMDes (sensitive on gender) with planning on food and nutrition security in Lombok Utara District, a framework for the establishment of flag-ship program with the focus on food and nutrition issues in Lombok Timur District, and a framework to revitalize the food forum into food and nutrition forum that will dealt with climate change issues in Flores Timur. Those frameworks have already been adopted, but not enforced yet. CSOs were engaged in the discussion and consultation meetings to draft these frameworks and advocated the regulation to be adopted and implemented. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for m ...01-05-2019: Explanation indicator: The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework is covered by the SNV indicator indicated above. Quantitative values over 2018: • During the course of 2018, 21 policies were developed, policies that were previously at a lower stage of development in 2017. • There were 25 policies that did not progress further in 2018. Qualitative observations: It appears that CSOs’ enhanced advocacy capacities and credibility amongst stakeholders has translated into the advanced progression of monitored policies. Significant progress was achieved in 2018 for resilience-sector CSOs in Kenya. In Isiolo county of Kenya, CSOs supported the passing and implementation of the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRM) policy. The policy provides for a contingency fund to combat drought emergencies and the establishment of a county-based disaster response unit to mitigate (climate change related) adversities. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, WASH-sector CSOs saw the further adoption and development of the STBM programme by the government in four districts (Sijunjung, P. Pariaman, Pringsewu, and Lampung). The relevant CSOs helped the districts develop and adjust roadmaps in order to implement the national strategy for Community-based Total Sanitation (STBM), contributing to the overall target of achieving ODF. In Honduras, progress on the development of the National Strategy proposal for the adoption of improved cookstoves has been slow but steady. While there was no notable change regarding scoring, CSOs laid the groundwork for producing a National Strategy proposal with the support and participation of the inter-institutional platform. It has been agreed that a multidisciplinary team will be hired to formulate the strategy, with the required TOR finalised. In 2019 it is expected that once contracted, a draft proposal will be finalised and presented to the government and lead to its adoption. It is worth noting that the number presented above is not entirel ...28-04-2020: Explanation indicator The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework is covered by the SNV indicator indicated above. Quantitative values over 2019 • During 2019, there was progress in development for 28 policies; these policies were at a lower stage of development in 2018. • The total number of policies that was adopted in 2019 is 18. In Honduras for example, the updated National FNS Policy and Strategy (PyENSAN) 2018-2030 has been adopted in 2019 by UTSAN. The updated policy has incorporated the contributions made by the CSOs. The implementation of the PyENSAN will be closely monitored by the CSOs in their respective regions in the coming years. See for other policy examples the other policy indicators described in Annex 4.30-10-2020: Explanation indicator The aggregated indicator used to inform the D&D M&E framework is covered by the SNV indicator indicated above. Quantitative values over 2020 • During 2020, there was progress in development and /or adoption for 6 policies; these policies were at a lower stage of development in 2019. • The total number of policies that showed progress in development and/or adoption since the start of the program is 84, being 80% of the total of targeted policies See for examples aboveImproved service delivery refers to services that are of higher quality, more accessible, affordable, inclusive and/or better coordinated. 17 out of 18 projects target improving service provision in their advocacy efforts. Renewable energy in Burkina focuses instead on increasing the organisation of the sector around renewable energy. The 17 projects focus on improving the level of service delivery by the government and/or private sector but there is variance in terms of what elements of service provision are targeted and also in the specific measurement methods. Most indicators focus at the quality, affordability, accessibility and/or relevance of the services for specific target groups. In most cases identified target groups are asked to indicate their degree of satisfaction with the services provided. As we are the start of the programme, no improvements in service delivery have taken place yet, so the baseline score on the aggregated indicator is zero (0) Generally the scores for current service delivery across the different country projects is low. For more details on the individual project's specific baseline data you are refered to the individual project's IATI data. 14-09-2018: Improved service delivery refers to services that are of higher quality, more accessible, affordable, inclusive and/or better coordinated. As changes in service delivery aren't expected in the short term, the majority of projects didn't measure this indicator in 2017. Of the 7 projects that did measure service delivery, four showed progress. Ghana off grid: 1 new mini-grid has been installed in remote and island communities. The installation indirectly benefited from V4CP advocacy efforts. Through the pressure the Ministry now feels to liberalise the mini-grids space and to allow for the testing of multiple models rather than the limited public sector led model. • Ghana clean cooking: 3 new distribution outlets were established. While the CSOs did not directly cause the setting up of this station, the possibility remains that it may have influenced the permitting process via its strong advocacy engagements with the district. • Kenya sanitation: the capacity of local government to steer sanitation demand creation at scale increased and sector alignment at local level improved in 2017. The CSOs and SNV have contributed to these improvements by amongst others capacity building activities for local governments, sharing evidence based products and organising forums for relevant ministries. • Indonesia WASH: in two of the four intervention regions progress was made on the outreach of affordable, sustainable and inclusive sanitation services served. See 'Annex 4 - V4CP annual report 2017' for more detailed information.01-05-2019: Explanation indicator: Improved service delivery refers to services that are of higher quality, more accessible, affordable, inclusive and/or better coordinated. 17 out of 18 projects target improving service provision in their advocacy efforts. Renewable energy in Burkina focuses instead on increasing the organisation of the sector around renewable energy. All 17 projects focus on improving the level of service delivery by the government and/or private sector but there is variance in terms of what elements of service provision are targeted and also in the specific measurement methods. Most indicators focus on the quality, affordability, accessibility and/or relevance of the services for specific target groups. In most cases, identified target groups are asked to indicate their degree of satisfaction with the services provided. Most projects monitor the service delivery indicators three times during project duration (at the start, mid-term and at the end of the project) or twice (at the start and the end of project). For some of the projects that reported on service delivery in 2018 (16 in total), the progress in service delivery is anecdotally illustrated in the examples below. Qualitative observations: In Burkina Faso, several aspects of agro-pastoralist service delivery showed an improvement compared to 2016, including the quality, accessibility and affordability of inputs. The involvement of the CSOs in the distribution of inputs at both local and national level appeared to have contributed to a prompter delivery of inputs as well as an increased accessibility of inputs for women, youth and vulnerable households. However, the surveyed (agro-) pastoralists were less satisfied with the progress in pastoral infrastructure realised. In Ghana, some of the nutrition services improved, including growth monitoring, vitamin and folic acid supplementation, as well as the supply of food supplements. Although these nutrition services respond to the need ...30-10-2020: Explanation indicator Improved service delivery refers to services that are of higher quality, more accessible, affordable, inclusive and/or better coordinated. 17 out of 18 projects target improving service provision in their advocacy efforts.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions in the countries, several planned service delivery studies couldn’t take place. Therefore, only anecdotal evidence of changes in service delivery can be presented here. The score of 15 projects with improved service delivery is just an estimate In Kenya, the sanitation service delivery has improved in the three counties of operation. In the Kericho county for example, there was the construction of standard sanitation systems in the markets of Kericho, Londiani, Roret,Kapkatet and Litein. In Elgeyo Marakwet, the drainage system of Iten Town has improved and additional community health units have been established in the county and inactive ones revived. In Homa Bay, the sewerage system and water supply system have been upgraded in Homa Bay town to accommodate the growing population, as well as slum sanitation facilities have been rehabilitated. Both in Ghana and Indonesia, the V4CP programme led to the prioritization of sanitation and hygiene at the local level by influencing agenda setting, improved accountability mechanisms and engaging in policy development and improved participa ...
