Policy/programme Analysis and Formulation

A good problem analysis and programme formulation are prerequisites for successful implementation. Because of our experience with complex institutional programmes and our technical knowledge of programme formulation and logical framework analysis (LFA), we have been involved in the design of new programmes and in the analysis of development policies.

Some examples are:

• Revision of logical framework of Aceh Forest and Environment Project funded by multi-donor fund/World Bank (2007).
• Recommendations on EU Food Aid policies in Ethiopia (2006).
• Updating of Master Plan study of the Abbay Water Basin - formulation of M&E/MIS strategy (2006).
• Formulation of follow-up phase of the Nature and Poverty Programme implemented by WWF NL, IUCN NL and Friends of the Earth NL (Milieudefensie) with special focus on the role of local partners in the South (2005).
• Revision of planning framework of Upland Development Programme Mindanao the Philippines, funded by the EU (2003/2004).
• Review and formulation of project proposals for the Environmental Sector Support Programme (ESP-2) Ethiopia funded by DGIS (2002).
• Review of logical framework of Agricultural Sector Support Programme (APSA) Bolivia, funded by Danida (2001).
• Formulation of logical framework of Podocarpus Programme Ecuador, funded by the Dutch Government (2001).
• Formulation of next phase of Forestry Sector Project of NWFP Pakistan, funded by the Asian Development Bank and the Dutch government (2000).
• Analysis of the environmental sector support policy and recommendations for the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Pakistan (1999).
