• Key Areas of intervention: defined based on review of NFP contents under various sub-strategies

•Targets: targets have been expressed in terms of non quantitative « policy targets »

•Indicators: suggested indicators are quantifiable indicators for targets or selected key actions;

•Actions: generally aligned with those proposed in existing frameworks

•Timeframes: highly indicative

MTBF-based information from relevant Ministries (MoA, MOFL, MoDFM, MoLGRDC)

II. Critical Review of draft PoA Matrix for Objective 1Entry Points for discussion

•Consistency between NFP provisions and other key documents (e.g agricultural mechanization, land issues)

• Information gaps on targets and actions for some key areas of intervention (e.g agricultural credit)

• Level of detail in specifying actions

• Indicators: should one focus on indicators related to targets (output indicators) or indicators related to actions (input indicators)?

• How to specify key assumptions?

III. How to finalize the PoA Matrix, ensuring policy consistency and national ownership?

• Day-to-day joint work by TAT advisors and FPMU resource persons

• Weekly TRT meetings enlarged to other key informants

• Ad hoc appointments with key informants

• Circulate the draft PoA among all relevant stakeholders for their comments and suggestions
