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.
