1. Review existing OCA Reports

 The World Bank Draft WARFP Working Paper – C3 Organisational Capacity Review Capacity Needs Assessment Task 3.4 dated January 2015. Shared with SFMP on March 18, 2015.

2. Conduct Focus GroupKey Informant Surveys of each GOG Unit

The survey used to guide focus group and key informant interviews as well as the detailed survey results for each unit are filed at the SFMP offices in Accra, Ghana. The survey tool included:  introduction of the assessment team  introduction to the SFMP project  review of the proposed collaboration between SFMP and the GOG unit in question, including the envisioned role of the unit and envisioned support to be provided by SFMP  objectives of the assessment  12 questionsdiscussion points, including a gender lens The survey was designed to be conducted by a team of at least two, one outsider not involved in day to day project management with the partner and one local SFMP team member responsible for follow-up on planned capacity development activities with the unit. In practice, only the two RCCs and MFD surveys were conducted in this manner. The others were conducted by the SFMP activity lead for the project components involving a given GOG or public University unit. The survey was to be conducted at the offices of the agencyunit and this was generally the case. It aimed to engage a cross section of participants from both central and decentralized offices if relevant and from various functions within the unit, including:  Leadership and Sr. Management  Administrative and Financial Management Heads  Technical Program Heads  Technical Staff This parameter was achieved with mixed results due to workload and time constraints of URI short-term TA, SFMP staff and GOG unit staff. Table 1 below summarizes OCA implementation by unit.

3. Conduct Specific Technical Needs Assessment Visits

Specific needscapacity assessments conducted by URI technical specialists in GIS, IT and capacity development were also taken into account in this baseline OCA. Table 1 below identifies these. They are also referenced in the Profile for each Unit.
