RECOMMENDATIONS • Officials directly involved in component field activities be nominated to participate in foreign trainings/fellowships as an incentive. • Vacant positions should immediately be filled. • Provision of remuneration and allowances be made for GoB staff involved in component activities. • Remuneration & allowances for GoB officials be uniform for all components and donors • CD-VAT should be adjusted as paper transfer from one Govt account to another. • Ministry could give more executive power to the PDs, especially where the PDs are joint signatory together with international advisors. • In the DPPs, DTA budget be mentioned together with DKK and CSC allows the use of increased value of DKK in each budget line.
