Central Level
As per the Result Management Guide (RMG) of UNDP, the project management arrangements include the following:Project Advisory Committee (PAC)
In order to provide overall policy guidance an advisory committee is constituted under the chairperson of Ministry of Environment Science and Technology (MoEST) and other members include representatives from Ministry of Finance (MoF), National Planning Commission (NPC), Ministry of Local Development (MoLD), Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR), Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC), Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF), Department of Women Development (DWD), Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare (MoWCSW), the World Bank (WB), Association of District Development Committee of Nepal (ADDCN), National association of Village Development Committee of Nepal (NAVIN) and UNDP Deputy Resident Representative. The PAC meets once or twice a year to assess the progress and achievements of the project and provide overall policy direction. The PAC may invite the Project Executive to attend the PAC meetings for necessary updates and consultations. The PAC members may undertake joint monitoring field visits for acquiring first hand information regard to project performance and delivery, providing guidance to resolve any issue pertaining to field implementation and gathering lessons from the field for policy advocacy, review and formulation.REDP Project Execution Board (PEB):
Alternative Promotion Center (AEPC) will be the project executing agency for implementation of the programme. A Project Board (PB) will be constituted under the leadership of the Executive Director (ED) of AEPC for implementing Entity, Implementing Partner and for UNDP's approval of project revisions. The same Project Board to provide guidance regarding the technical feasibility of the project will be played by the Assistant Resident Representative (ARR) of Environment and Energy Unit of UNDP. The Project Board will have representation from Association of District Development Committee of Nepal (ADDCN), Village Development Committee of Nepal (NAVIN) and Ministry of Finance (MoF). Ministry of Finance as Government Cooperating Agency will be involved in annual work plan preparation and its final approval with support of National Programme Manger of REDP and Programme Officer of UNDP if needed.Project assurance is the responsibility of each Board member, but the role can be delegated. The project assurance role ensures that works are done in line with the objectives and targets set for the programme and supports the Project Board by carrying our objective and independent project oversight and monitoring functions. This role also ensures appropriate project management milestones are managed and completed. The concerned UNDP Programme Officer will play the Project Assurance role to support the Project Board.
National Programme Manger (NPM) will manage the project on a day to day basis on behalf of the Poject Board within the constraints laid down by the Project Board. The prime responsibility of the National Programme Manger is to ensure that the project produces the results specified in the project document to required standard of quality and within the specified constraints of time and cost. For any changes in the limits set out by the Project Board, the NPM will have to make a case for consideration for the Project Board. Once the changes are endorsed by the Project Board, this will be formalized through necessary budget revision. The NPM in consultation with the implementing Partner and UNDP will set up the programme Office as required.
