working group 1
DESCRIPTION
Synthesis of the outputs for working group 1, facilitated by Mohamed Ouessar of IRA Tunisia, focused on IDO 1: More resilient livelihoods for vulnerable households in marginal areas and IDO 4: More sustainable and equitable management of land and water resources in pastoral and agro-pastoral settings. The team of scientists in group 1 went through a process that included validation, clustering, prioritization and filling gaps in the performance management system. Activities were narrowed from 28 to 14 and a budget was set through December of 2013. Lessons learned included the necessity of not creating or adding new activities, that preparation cards are crucial and should always refer to the agreed activity per IDO and that representation of the group per IDO affects prioritization. Milestones and deliverables were also set for 2013 and 2014.TRANSCRIPT

Lessons Learned
• We cannot create or add new activities– However we can cluster into existing activity– One activity can be represented in more than 1 IDO
• Preparation cards/activity is crucial and should always refer to the agreed activity per IDO.
• Representation of the group per IDO affects the prioritization. Some activities got low score because were mostly not technical and we only had one person representing SEPER.
• Budget for 2013?– Only what you are able to spend by 31st of December 2013– Can go back earlier date in 2013– When the funds will be available?– 250k is per activity– Suggested budget per activity is rough estimate and needs revision
