PART III. MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS

A.1. Execution Arrangements

• 
  Approve the procedures of funding training activities (typology of proposals, conditions of funding, contractual arrangements, follow-up mechanisms, etc);
  
• 
  Approve (or reject) fund allocations for the training sub-projects;
  
• 
  Monitor the progress of the different sub-projects approved;
  
• 
  Review the relevancy and effectiveness of training in terms of impact for the development of the private sector;
  
• 
  Co-ordinate with other development projects and programs, including the other components of the Angola Enterprise Program (AEP).
  

The ToR will include the description and the location of the services, the objectives and the duration of the training, the number of trainees, as well as the conditions of the bidding and subcontracting processes. The subcontract and bidding process will follow the contract and procurement criteria established by the UNDP, including receiving at least three proposals; exceptions and of waivers should follow UNDP procedures and be justified by to the Steering Committee e.g. when it is recognized that only one or two providers are in conditions to deliver the required training (for example, in rural areas or provinces where the training offer is scarce).

The criteria for the approval of training proposals to be ratified by the Steering Committee will respect the following guidelines:

• 
  Relevancy of the training being offered for the development of the private sector and to the diversification of the economic activity in Angola;
  
• 
  Contribution to the geographical and content diversification of the training offered by the training providers;
  
• 
  Employability of the trainees;
  
• 
  Synergies and complementarities generated with other development programs and/or AEP program components;
  
• 
  Total training cost and costs of training each beneficiary;
  
• 
  Level of partner cost-sharing of the total training cost.
  

The component will support the establishment of a Management Information System (MIS) that will enable the Steering Committee and the relevant implementation partners to react and take decisions based on the relevancy of the training for the development and diversification of the private sector. It will also provide adequate information on the use of resources, by collecting basic data on training sub-projects, by monitoring the progress of operations and by assessing the impact on beneficiaries and enterprises.

A.2 Monitoring, Measurement and Evaluation

A.2.1. Work planning, Monitoring, and reporting

The project will be monitored, evaluated and reported upon in accordance with revised UNDP monitoring and evaluation procedures, which will be made available to the project management at the beginning of the project. The INEFOP jointly with the Program Coordinator at the initial start-up of project activities, and subsequently at the beginning of each calendar year will draw up the project work-plans. This will be submitted together with the Annual Report to the Steering Committee of the Angola Enterprise Program.

A.2.2. Evaluation

An in-depth evaluation will be conducted 18 months into the implementation of the project, as part of the implementation of the UNDP Monitoring and Evaluation. The terms of reference for the evaluation will be proposed by UNDP for discussion and approval by the AEP Steering Committee.
