June Management Board meeting: Key questions • Future of Ferghana Valley projects: • Finalisation versus continuation • Need for project assessments • Support for national focal points • Funding for assistants • National coordination groups • Links between CARNET, Aarhus centres
When to finalise? • Unsuccessful projects • Insufficient donor or programme country support for continuation • Successful projects that: • Cannot be scaled up or replicated • Should be in a different programme (GEF?) • Have high opportunity costs • Resources should be redeployed elsewhere
When to continue? • Project enjoys continued support from: • Programme country(s) • Donors • A clear decision can be made about whether the project should be: • Continued • Replicated • Scaled up • Outcome: inclusion into Ferghana Valley work plan for 2008-2010
Assistance to National Focal Points • ENVSEC Management Board acknowledges the need; • Funding modalities in question: • Should be linked to specific project; • Should be hired by CO and report principally to RDO
National coordination groups • Principal body for coordination with: • Stakeholders • Other donors, projects, international agencies • Best modality for IAEA coordination • Country assistants to facilitate groups • Routines at the individual project level needed if this coordination is to work
Roles of CARNet, Aarhus Centres • Links between Osh Aarhus Centre and CARNet established • Work still needed: • REHRA: information dissemination can improve • RESCA: routines for coordination lacking • Other projects: similar issues
