Table of Contents II. Lessons Learned and Recommendations (See Below) II. Lessons Learned and Recommendations One primary lesson was learned through AIDSCAP's provision of technical assistance to the FHA West Africa program. Participatory program planning -- particularly in an environment where several cooperating agencies and local implementing agencies are involved -- requires time. AIDSCAP's effort to the REDSO project was brief and probably too ambitious in the time available. As the FHA project is being implemented under a consortium of several major NGOs with their headquarters in the U.S., collaboration and communication was extremely difficult among the organizations as each implementing agency operates under its own policy. An improved coordination strategy would facilitate overall implementation of a project of this nature. In addition, the CHP from Cameroon played the backstopping/monitoring role for AIDSCAP. A full time project monitor in the field would improve the day to day coordination process with other partners. |
