Emerging good practices in direct supervision1.Governments’ participation
– How• Philippines: NEDA and Lead Project Agency (LPA)• Sri Lanka: NPD & MFAR• China: MOF & support agency
– Achievements• First hand information on issues - result in seeking practical
solutions, LPA commitment to undertake reforms needed• Broader understanding of policy issues & knowledge sharing• Capacity building for own supervision & monitoring of gov. agencies
– Challenges• Commitment & capacity – training & more involvement• Conflict of interest – disciplining• Duration vs. Cost (ensuring quality)• Knowledge management in projects

Emerging good practices in direct supervision
2. Internalizing learning into the supervision process – How
• Training given to CPO being used in supervision – risk analysis, supervision, loan administration
• Different models – Sri Lanka & Philippines (and others too)• Implementation support process – follow-up of agreed actions (light
mission)– Achievements
• Improved quality & depth of analysis - issues are revealed (fiduciary)• Pragmatic/doable recommendations, agreed actions• Sharing best practices – stakeholder workshop; KM methods• Institutional memory and upward learning curve in the process
– Challenges• In-breeding (if the learning is not effective / no learning)• Bringing in new perspective (external consultants needed)• Codification and storage of tacit knowledge for wider sharing

Emerging good practices in direct supervision
3. Supervision linked-up with effective implementation support– How
• Light missions• Post supervision visits• Constant communication
– Achievements• Steering implementation support • Initiating cross fertilization (projects / countries)• Developing specific & focused TORs for on-coming missions
– Challenges (Perceptions)
• Too much dependence on CPO – selective interventions• How far we go ? Too much or too little support?• Linking supervision with policy dialogue and knowledge management

Way forward / next steps1. Provide learning opportunities for those involved in
supervisions (eg networks)
2. Emphasize analyses on project risk / assumption in supervision
3. Develop mechanisms to internalize supervision results in design and implementation:– annual country performance review– national knowledge sharing activities– IFAD country and project websites– Govt accountability system
4. Formalize government partnership & improve their capacity:
• Php – MOU - between IFAD and NEDA• Use M&E systems to promote gove. ownership
