SWHIST experience in Tigray
Questions/ clarifications ?
ANRS PROPOSAL AT PSC MEETING(Applicable to SWHISA as one of all Regional projects)
(Applicable to SWHISA as one of all Regional projects)
Adjust to include both capacity building and development
Stay within agriculture and water development Overhead component of budget to be according
to standards Adjust the Project within a period of three
months Partner Bureaux to participate in adjustment
exercise along w/CIDA The Project continues
EXPECTATIONS OF PARTNERS
Capacity building to be more practical and at woreda level in particular : learning by doing
At bureau level, capacity to fill gaps through local and external training including short and long-term. Respond to current gaps
Definition of hardware should come from Bureaux and woredas
Do not stay within pilots and move into development actions, scaling up
Management organized as facilitator. Line bureaux to participate in administrating project budget
