• A suite of appropriate indicators should be
developed within the Logical
Framework to better monitor progress in Project Outputs and Activities. The Project Coordinator should develop these in consultation with UNDP and GEF.
Quantitative
indicators should be aggregated from (a) a ‘bottom-up’ approach (e.g. performance of each activity (e.g. planned versus actual
performance with respect to timeliness,
budget, outcomes, technical reports, numbers of meetings); and (b) ‘top down’ indicators reflecting the broad objectives of the
OFM Project (e.g. numbers of Pacific
SIDS with appropriate legislation; observer programmes; participation in CPWCPF Commission meetings).
• A baseline study of OFM in Pacific SIDS, including
a summary of the
achievements and shortfalls of WCPF Convention
commitments, should be
prepared. This was recommended in the 2007 Annual Review of the
OFM Project. It will be
useful background for future initiatives (see 5.3).
• The monitoring and reporting requirements of the
major donor, GEF, and
implementing agency UNDP, should be assessed to reduce unnecessary bureaucratic procedures. The PCU Coordinator
should enter a dialogue with
UNDP Project Management staff to streamline processes in the second term.
