  9. Why management response? • To ensure that we are using the money spent on evaluations in an efficient way • To ensure that we make good use of the evaluation and the evaluation team’s expertise • Evaluation - part of the learning process, the institutional memory

  10. Why management response? • A review of previous evaluations show that some key recommendations are not followed up properly

  11. Why management response? • Time for analysis and reflection prior to take actions on the recommendations made by the evaluation • To decide on priorities in terms of implementation of the recommendations...convert into actions... • ...and to decide on which recommendations that will not be implemented.

  12. Need to define roles and responsibilities.. External donors UBS HIV Service Implementing Bible Society Grant giving Bible Society ? ? ..for the follow up of external evaluations ?

  13. Proposal for a Management Response System

  14. The Management Response document – content: • Comment on the relevance of the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the evaluation • State what recommendations that will not be considered and the reason for this • Outline actions to be taken to implement the recommendations - to improve future GS programmes – time specific and organisation responsible Source: Partly based on ‘Evaluation Guidelines, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland ‘(2007).

  15. Identify 3 levels of recommendations “to be converted into an action plan”: • The national programme context • Methodological development of the GS programme • Fundraising related issues and related to strategic support to HIV Service Source: Partly based on ‘Evaluation Guidelines, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland ‘(2007).
