High-level policy learning programme  >  Addressing long-term development challenges: from short-lived interventions to lasting achievement

at work
FOLLOW UP COUNTRY ACTION PLANS (CAPS)

Finalization of CAPs
It is our desire to continue working and learning together, as well as to support as much as we can the finalization and implementation of your follow-up CAPs that you drafted during the HLPLP. As you will recall, the CAPs outline the policy-related tasks you intend to undertake in your country.

The draft versions drawn from your inputs collected during the HLPLP are attached below in one document. The agenda is attached to remind you of resource persons. 

As discussed during the HLPLP, at this stage we would be grateful if you could organize and contribute to meetings together with the FAO Representative and your supervisors, with a view to finalize your Follow-up CAPs. These documents may contain new proposals (e.g. initiatives, projects, activities) which you as a group may decide you can collaborate on. In addition, these documents may already include on-going projects to which you can introduce a new approach or a new tool to enhance the on-going work. Furthermore, the CAPs may also contain individual workplans, as some of you may decide that work remains to be done for your individual proffessional development and further learning and you may want to share your plans with the country team.

We expect the follow-up action plan to feed the FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF), where applicable. Subsequently, FAO could explore possibilities to support CAP implementation through various modalities.

Deadline
We would be pleased to receive the finalized work plans by the end of January 2012, as this may facilitate the inclusion of possible assistance in FAO's next biennium workplan.

On-line forum discussion: Documents to share
To facilitate the exchange of ideas and experience across countries in the CAPs' finalization process, we are asking you to post the main documents for your work such as:

  • Feedback from all the meetings with your colleagues who participated during the first week, FAO Representatives and supervisors. This also includes the Country debriefing meetings held upon arrival at your duty station;
  • Back to Office Reports that you may have written upon your return, to provide feedback from your learning experience; and
  • Important country policy documents you would like to share.
Mutual support
This forum discussion is a platform to both share information and discuss any problems/questions that may arise during the finalization process as this will surely be useful for fellow participants. Discussion with other participants can expose you to new perspectives, techniques, theories and much more that may prove useful in realizing long-term development in your countries.

The HLPLP coordination team will provide continuous backstopping to the discussion.
