SNV, since late 2001 an independent organisation, receives core funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the progress in the transformation process as agreed upon between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and SNV, to contribute to the accountability of the use of the funds and to report on the results achieved in the field. The evaluation assessed the realisation of the transformation process of SNV from an organisation that delivered technical assistance through projects to an organisation that supplies advisory services to meso level organisations. Furthermore, the effectiveness, efficiency of activities and learning capacity of the organisation were assessed. The evaluation covered the period 2002-2005. The evaluation was carried out during the period November 2005 to January 2006 and had to cope with a very tight time schedule. The evaluation included a study in the Netherlands, a survey among all SNV offices in the field and field visits to Bolivia, Kenya and Mali. The team consisted of consultants from ECORYS Netherlands BV and SEOR BV of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. The composition of the team is presented below. Willem Cornelissen Team leader Maaike Oosterbaan Project coordinator, Team Netherlands John Zevenbergen Team Netherlands Sarah Sijses Responsible for survey SNV portfolios Agnes Janszen Responsible for efficiency analysis Loet Mennes Senior advisor Karen Bakhuisen Field visit Kenya Kees van der Zanden Field visit Mali Graham Alders Local consultant Kenya Brahima Fomba Local consultant Mali Rafael Rojas L. Local consultant Bolivia The team would like to thank all SNV staff involved in the evaluation for providing information to the evaluation team and for the well prepared field visits in Bolivia, Kenya and Mali. Without this support from SNV, the evaluation could not have been carried out in such a short period. It should also be mentioned that the response to the survey to all SNV field offices was overwhelming. The team is also grateful for the cooperation of the many persons interviewed (see Annex A) in the Netherlands and in the three countries visited. Evaluation SNV 7 Summary Introduction The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs has assigned the evaluation of the implementation of the Subsidy Agreement between the Ministry and the Netherlands Development Organisation SNV over the period late 2002-2005 to ECORYS Netherlands in cooperation with SEOR of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. After approval of the methodological inception report on 28 th November 2005, the evaluative research took place during the month December 2005, and analysis and reporting during January 2006. The research has entailed a desk-study and interviews, a survey among all SNV portfolios 1 worldwide and field visits to the Santa Cruz portfolio in Bolivia, the North Rift portfolio in Kenya and the Koulikoro portfolio in Mali. The Terms of Reference formulated the following objective for the evaluation: To which extent is SNV capable to strengthen and promote the local capacity of meso- level organisations in developing countries? The strengthening of local capacity is defined as the process of capacity building (of an organisation) to reduce poverty and improve good governance. The evaluation has to focus on both approach and organisation of SNV and the achieved results, as well as the coherence between the two. The Terms of Reference formulated three main questions: 1. In which manner has SNV realized changes in its structure and working methods since becoming autonomous? 2. Did the advisory services of SNV contribute to capacity building and did this contribute to sustainable poverty reduction and good governance? 3. How efficient and effective are the advisory services of SNV and what is the learning capacity of SNV? Since 2002, the relation between SNV and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been settled in a Subsidy Agreement that provides funding to SNV for an amount of € 500 million over a period of five years. This represents well over 90 percent of all SNV costs. SNV has acquired a separate position in the Dutch development co-operation as a foundation which is almost fully dependent on funding, but is autonomous for its operations, namely offering advisory services free of charge in more than 30 countries. To SNV the period under review was characterised by a multi-dimensional change process comprising: 1 SNV operates at sub-national level and operates from sub-national offices. The total of advisory activities managed by and implemented through such an office is called a ‘portfolio’. Worldwide there are 100-110 portfolio teams active. Evaluation SNV 9 • Disentanglement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2001) and transformation into an autonomous foundation; • A new intervention strategy (2001) leading to new services and activities; • These new services required both a change in the required capacities of staff and a change in the organisational structure of SNV. The objective and research questions mentioned above imply that this evaluation neither analysed the full range of the relations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and SNV, nor the policy implications thereof, such as the complementarities of SNV services vis-à- vis other cooperation activities either realized by or subsidized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The evaluation has been mainly based on the statistical and financial information provided by SNV. This information has not been checked on veracity. The findings of three field mission to Bolivia, Kenya and Mali are used as case studies and cannot be hold representative for the entire organisation. However, the survey among portfolios covered almost the entire population of SNV portfolios and can be taken as statistically representative. Due to the restrictions in research time available, the effectiveness of the advisory services in the field has been studied on the basis of secondary information (existing studies and information) and interviews. Findings The findings are structured along the lines of the three main research questions as mentioned in the Terms of Reference. 1. In which ways has SNV realized changes in its structure and working methods since becoming autonomous? The transformation has been evaluated on the basis of the ten characteristics formulated in the Subsidy Agreement. SNV aims at complying with these characteristics by the end of the period of the Subsidy Agreement (2006). These changes can be distinguished in those in working methods and those in structure: a. changes in working methods SNV has completed a multi-faceted change process transforming its services from the supply of long-term technical assistance by individual experts to host organisations at micro level to the provision of advisory services in teams to (mainly) organisations operating at meso level. In 2004, between 64 percent (Asia) and 88 percent (East and Southern Africa) of the clients were categorised as ‘meso level clients’. In its working methods, SNV has completed the change process towards the provision of advisory and consultancy services (by teams). In the case of still existing narrowly marked out services, the client can still be attended by a single advisor, but not on a long- term assignment anymore.

  • Challenges and Opportunities: Smallholders and School Feeding Initial Baseline Report — 2012
    Challenges and Opportunities: Smallholders and School Feeding Initial Baseline Report — 2012 Procurement Governance for Home Grown School Feeding Project Learning Series #1 1 Challenges and Opportunities: Smallholders and School Feeding Initial Baseline Report — 2012 Procurement Governance for Home Grown School Feeding Project Learning Series #1 By Dick Commandeur, Senior Technical Advisor November 2013 Author’s Note This report is the result of a project-wide effort. Based on a standard methodology shared across coun- tries, data were collected in Kenya by education officers of the Ministry of Education and in Ghana and Mali by local consultants and non-governmental organizations. The data were organized and reviewed by SNV advisory teams in the three countries and brought together in one database by Mohammed Lukumanu, who also made a first selection of the topics on which this report is built. Drafts of the document were then returned to the country teams to validate with their first-hand experience. Additionally, the findings and concluding remarks received the contributions and critical observations from the project manager Eliana Vera and learning coordinator José Tegels. Zarrin Caldwell edited the document with the final look and feel by Kathy Strauss in close coordination with SNV USA communication specialist Joni Renick. I’m grateful to everyone in bringing this document to completion and to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for their financial support of the Procurement Governance for Home Grown School Feeding project, of which this exercise is a part. I’m confident that this initial baseline report will help to orient and deepen the work of the PGHGSF project as well as the efforts of other organizations engaged in similar endeavors.

  • Sauver Les Ressources Du Fleuve Niger, Un Defi Intercommunal a Koulikoro
    SAUVER LES RESSOURCES DU FLEUVE NIGER, UN DEFI INTERCOMMUNAL A KOULIKORO Le Fleuve Niger est la sève nourricière et l’artère vitale de la République du Mali. Il fait l’objet de plusieurs formes d’utilisation. Il est pourvoyeur d’activités génératrices de revenus rentables pour les populations riveraines comme la riziculture, le maraîchage, la pêche, la navigation, l’exploitation du sable et du gravier, etc…Le Fleuve Niger est confronté aux effets négatifs de la démographie galopante et de l’industrialisation des agglomérations riveraines, par le fait qu’il constitue de nos jours un dépotoir de déchets domestiques et industriels. ‘’Djoliba’’ de son nom authentique, le Fleuve Niger risque de devenir un fleuve sans vie ‘’Bä l’en gôlô’’ si rien n’est fait dans les années à venir. Photo : Joost Nelen Exploitants de sable et de gravier à Souban commune urbaine de Koulikoro Les pratiques inadaptées, conjuguées à la multitude d’utilisateurs sont la source de conflits récurrents entre usagers. Laissé à lui-même, le Fleuve Niger est usé par les érosions hydriques et éoliennes entraînant l’éboulement de ses berges et l’ensablement de son lit. Cette mort amorcée du Fleuve Niger, si elle se poursuivait, va compromettre la grande majorité des actions menées dans le cadre de la lutte contre la pauvreté et l’atteinte des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement (OMD) par l’Etat et les collectivités territoriales riveraines. Photo : Joost Nelen Berges érodées, village de Kamani commune rurale de Dinandougou Conscientes de ce fait, les collectivités territoriales du cercle de Koulikoro partageant le Fleuve Niger (Tienfala, Koulikoro, Méguétan, Dinandougou, Tougouni et Nyamina) par le principe de subsidiarité, ont entrepris en 2003 en collaboration avec leur cercle et l’appui de certains services techniques l’élaboration d’un ’’Programme Intercommunal de Gestion des Berges et des Ressources en eau du Fleuve Niger’’.

  • Répertoire Des Villages RGPH 98 (I) PREFACE
    Répertoire des villages RGPH 98 (i) PREFACE L’inscription de la préparation du troisième Recensement Général de la Population et de l’Habitat, parmi les objectifs de la politique nationale de la population dénote de l’intérêt qu’accorde le Gouvernement au suivi régulier de la population dans toutes ses composantes. L’option du Gouvernement pour le développement à partir de la base et la persistance de certaines calamités naturelles nécessitent une connaissance précise et détaillée des éléments de structure et de dynamisme de la population pour prévoir correctement les besoins et élaborer des plans et projets appropriés pour y faire face. De même, la réalisation du troisième Recensement Général de la Population a été nécessaire pour l’actualisation des données relatives aux conditions de vie des ménages pour l’élaboration des programmes de lutte contre la pauvreté engagés par le Gouvernement depuis 1997. Le troisième Recensement Général de la Population et de l’Habitat a été réalisé au cours de la période allant du 1er au 14 avril 1998. Sa réalisation a été possible grâce à une participation active de plusieurs bailleurs de fonds et à une grande mobilisation sur le plan national. La publication des résultats définitifs est le témoignage des efforts longs et soutenus consentis par les uns et les autres. La masse d’informations très variées collectées et traitées par micro-ordinateur est présentée sous forme de tableaux soigneusement établis afin de couvrir les besoins des administrateurs, des planificateurs, des politiciens et des chercheurs. En finançant le troisième recensement, Le Fonds des Nations Unies pour la Population (FNUAP), le Fonds des Nations Unies pour l’Enfance (UNICEF), la Coopération canadienne, La Banque mondiale, l’Union Européenne, ont démontré une fois de plus leur disponibilité à aider le Mali à mieux connaître sa population afin de mieux planifier son développement économique et social.
