3.3 Staff and Partner Capacity Development

Additional training for the ICFG Team and key partners will contribute to building capacity for, and programs designed to, increase collaboration among all partners and other target stakeholders to achieve Year 3 workplan goals and objectives. Two workshops will be conducted that will feature specific tools and techniques to improve the quality of meetings in terms of dialogue, decision-making, action and reflection as well as levels of integration with partners to define precisely the shared expectations for a collaborative partnership. The collaboration skills will be taught as a “train-the-trainer” sessions and participants will be given materials to conduct similar training in the target focal areas. Task Collaboration Tracking Tools will also be developed. These tools consist of a workbook of the range of collaborations that are ongoing within the project as well as guidance for ways to improve the quality of collaboration. The workbook will be an active document that contains a series of data, spreadsheets, contacts and communication tools that are designed to improve the overall quality of collaboration. A set of workbooks will be distributed to workshop participants and others to improve the overall quality of collaboration. These activities will be led by Sustainametrix.

3.4 Monitoring, Evaluation, Performance Management and Reporting

The goal of performance management and evaluation is to encourage adaptive management and learning within the Program and to report results to USAIDGhana. This requires collecting timely information using indicators selected to provide meaningful information on progress towards stated objectives. The Program’s Performance Management Plan PMP is presented in Appendix A. The PMP includes key results, refined performance targets disaggregated by year, specific monitoring parameters, and sources of data for each indicator. Time-bound targets 61 have been refined at the end of Phase 1 through the work planning process and in consultation with local partners and beneficiaries. These targets will be reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary based on Program progress, experience and lessons learned. Semi-annual performance monitoring reports PMRs are submitted to the USAID AOTR Agreement Officer Technical Representative which document progress on achieving results. These reports include: 1 a comparison of actual accomplishments against the targets established for the period; 2 explanation of quantifiable outputs generated by Project activities; 3 reasons why goals were or were not met. The data reported is supported by evidence collected and filed in the Main field office. CRC’s Monitoring and Research Officer is responsible for collection of performance management information vis-a-vis each indicator including keeping on file evidences supporting the results reported, and maintaining quality control assurances on data and information collected. The CRC home office provides quality control measures to ensure the PMP system is properly implemented through periodic internal auditing of PMR systems. The ICFG Program invests resources in monitoring and reporting to foster learning and adaptive management. Learning and sharing occurs across implementation sites and with other projects and programs. An internal self- assessment is conducted annually in conjunction with the work- planning events. Regular Program management and annual reporting activities are carried out by the Program’s senior management team. Main tasks and reporting requirements include: ｸ Preparation and submission of semi-annual progress reports to USAIDGhana AOTR Agreement Officer Technical Representative ｸ Timely and regular input of data into the USAID TrainNet for all training activities ｸ Annual self-assessment of progress and annual workplan preparation and submission by CRCWWF for approval by USAID ｸ Collection, analysis and reporting of data to USAID on Program indicators and targets for Program performance monitoring, submitted semi-annually as part of the standard semi- annual progress report ｸ Financial reports submitted to USAID AO Agreement Officer and AOTR from URI ｸ Key Project Documents and reports prepared in 508 compliant format and submitted to the Development Clearninghouse SustainaMetrix will continue to support the In-Country Program Director in the development of an M and E system that meets both the USAID requirements for a Performance Monitoring Plan PMP and the Initiative’s need to assess progress toward its goal of assembling the preconditions for a nested governance system for the coastal Districts of the Western Region that addresses the issues of fisheries and integrated coastal management. Work will include interacting with the external evaluation team of USAID to build and help guide program improvements. Specific tasks related to Two M and E learning-driven, self assessment workshops will be implemented February and July 2012 designed as a review and analysis of the Year Three work and to help guide the Year Four work plan. These self-assessment workshops will be a principle source of the information 62
