Programme Management
Under MFP II, DFID and the Ministry of Forestry have appointed KEHATI that has strong track record in programme and financial management to administer grants, facilitate partnerships, and support policy analysis and development, as the Service Provider of the MFP as set out in an Accountable Grant for a first trance of GBP 1.7 million, dated February 21st, 2008. The Service Provider will also be responsible for day-to-day operational management, to standards required by DFID and the Ministry of Forestry.
The principles of engagement between DFID and the Ministry of Forestry have been worked into the Implementation Framework and Standard Operating Procedures for the Service Provider. The Implementation Framework sets out: a programme log-frame, the partnership mechanism for engaging with the Ministry of Forestry and other national agencies, local government, civil society and the Community Foundations; and related processes for capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, communication and information, and shared learning.
The programme log-frame and other elements of the Implementation Framework were developed jointly by representatives of the Ministry of Forestry, DFID and Yayasan KEHATI. Until November 2008, the MFP II has finalized the Standard Operating Procedures, Log-frame, Grant Program Management, National and Regional Strategy, and Annual Work Plan.
The GBP 1.7 million log-frame aims to put in place the building blocks to achieve the outputs identified under the GBP5 million log-frame. This log-frame has been revised into a more realistic framework and the Steering Committee endorsed the GBP 5 million to be the basis for the program log-frame.
Operationally, the MFP II programme is supported by a responsible team that shares workloads one eachs other. The team is called the Programme Management Unit (PMU) which consists of 3 directions where 2 Co Directors are responsible for programme management policy, and the Programme Director is responsible on planning, implementation, monitoring and consolidating all PMU activities. Two Secondee personals are appointed to handle issues related to programme communication with Ministry of Forestry that specialize on addressing TLAS implementation, VPA and CBFM promotion. Two experts are acting as consultants specialised on handling the implementation of TLAS VPA that they represent RI and UK government. Three programme facilitators are implementing the programme and communication with working partners. In addition, supporting systems handle the programme administration and logistical arrangement.
Instead of the above mentioned, the strategy and grant delivery system would apply a 4-window programme that is an approach and implementation pathway of the programme on the National and Regional level, Ministry of Forestry scope and small grants facilitation support programmes. The PMU facilitation function is possible to synergize and cooperate among partners in the national, regional and Ministry of Forestry level as well as PMU members for implementation of strategy, resources and funds distribution for working partners.
The 4-window Grant delivery system is to ensure that distribution of grant funding proportional in terms of challenges and strategic for programme development on each level.
Roles and responsible sharing that are coordinated by Programme Director to the PMU members should be justified and matched with the programme achievement targets, synergy, issues linkages and facilitation demands on each programme angle. The outputs of each single target are agreed on the Annual Workplan.
The implementation of MFP II programme is based on a Strategic Direction resulted from the Steering Committee arrangement in MFP II. A set of Logical Framework was developed.
