19 IV - Strategy Making Processes Water n Policy making process was inclusive n Most stakeholders and international donor community were invited at an early stage n A lot of suggestions and comments were taken into consideration n Contact initiated was based on a one to one relationship, not from an institution to institution.
20 IV - Strategy Making Processes Energy n The policy paper was led by advisers within the ministry of energy and water. n Stakeholders were brought in at a later stage. n The policy draft was circulated to the main stakeholders for approval and comments before finalization.
21 IV - Strategy Making Processes Agriculture n Agriculture policy was internalized. n Formation of technical committees from within the ministry, representatives from the different directorates were assigned n Multi-stake holder approach (but within the ministry) n 4 directorates n Organizing decisions
22 V - Analysis n Personnel: n Many Vacancies (ex. MoEW 15% of positions occupied 77 out of 505) n Empowerment of personnel and freedom of expression n Functionality: n Discontinuity: no institutional memory (reliance on donor personnel e.g. UNDP s role in many ministries) n No coordination protocol between institutions n No coordination within the same ministry n No common method for setting strategies n Legal: n Communications between ministries have to pass through DG/Minister n Data: n Quality n Sharing n Uniformity
23 VI Recommendations n Institutional n Reorganize and empower the existing planning bodies within ministries (through legal and institutional initiatives) to embark on a nexus approach to planning n Improve and decentralize communications between ministries n Create a planning body or develop the capacities of planning bodies such as councils and higher councils n Develop the capacities of concerned stakeholders in nexus planning n Policy n Improve the level of integration of policies n Improve the resource efficiency factors in the different sector strategies n Undertake a sustainability assessment or SEAs for all sector strategies
