What is this?

The Project has taken big strides forward over the past year. One of the most important steps it has taken has been to raise the profile of governance and policy issues, as well as the issue of financial sustainability. This is important because we don’t want the Project to deliver a Strategic Action Programme (SAP), we want the Project to deliver a SAP that can be implemented. In other words, there should not be a gap between the signing of the SAP and the start of implementation of the SAP.

I am very happy with the Project Coordination Unit. It is not common to have a project running in “real time” like this. I hope that the countries follow this dynamic and that at the country level the work will also be on track.

One thing I would like to make a plea for is stability at the PSC level. We want people to be informed about the project and actively participating in it. But when people are new to the PSC they need to be informed and brought up to speed. Changes at the PSC level set us back.”
