Part 1. Implementation Arrangements and Stakeholder Participation

Specific guidance is needed on these draft sections of the Program Brief – please keep in mind during presentations:

1. Do the implementation arrangements build on existing African structures?

2. At country level, is SIP implementation well-positioned to contribute to implementation of existing national and sectoral priorities?

3. At regional level, is the SIP implementation arrangement well-embedded in existing structures?

4. Are all desired elements present in the SIP Stakeholder Plan? Does it sustain and strengthen ownership and implementation of SIP at both regional and country levels?

Linkages to Implementation Processes

• CAADP: roundtables include prioritizing of investments in CSIF

• UNCCD: NAP/SRAP priorities embedded in CSIF

• AU: CSIF implements regional priorities such as land tenure improvement

• GEF: twice a year, RTC meets to resolve portfolio management issues

Stakeholder Involvement Plan

OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS

Stakeholder Involvement Plan

Partnerships that enable…1. Rationalisation of resources (including time)

2. Holistic and multi-disciplinary/sector approaches

3. Mutual re-enforcement/support - sustainability

4. Wider collective ownership

Partnerships driven by…1. Mutual purpose / common vision

2. Mutual complementarities and synergies

3. Collective ownership in the benefits

4. Mutual respect: Even the “weak” can find dignified room to participate

How do we plan to achieve this concept of partnership in the SIP Implementation ?

Specific guidance is needed on the draft country and regional driveness section of the Program Brief – please keep in mind during presentations:

1. Do the implementation arrangements build on existing African structures?

2. At country level, is SIP implementation well-positioned to contribute to implementation of existing national and sectoral priorities?

3. At regional level, are the SIP implementation arrangements well-embedded in existing structures?

Recommendations from STRP on the implementation arrangements and stakeholder participation:

1. Endorse the idea that the SIP, as agreed, will use existing frameworks for implementation.

2. Document is on right track and needs some amendments to fully capture opportunities presented by tapping into existing implementation structures of additional SSA organizations; (ie, greater REC/SRO roles, possible SSA government representation on Regional Technical Committee, etc.).

3. Multi-level peer review processes should be operationalized to support accountability and therefore governance, and ensure that a wide range of stakeholders are involved.
