7.2 Steering and Management
The project will be steered and controlled by a steering committee, composed of SDC,
Intercooperation and project representatives. The main task of the committee is to ensure
strategic guidance to the project, and its coherence with the SDC cooperation strategy and
government policies. Other tasks of the steering committee include the approval of planning and
reporting documents, including budget and financial aspects, special issues internally or
externally affecting the projects, as well as exchange of information about recent developments
in the fields of agriculture and market related policies.
The steering committee is a platform for exchanges, looking for consensus and mutual
agreement. However, final decisions regarding the strategic programme orientation, including
the formal approval of annual reports and plans of operations, are vested with SDC.
The steering committee will organise six-monthly meetings. From time to time, it will invite
important stakeholders or key individuals for consultation. Common joint field visits of steering
committee members can be organised during or besides the six-monthly meetings.
Intercooperation will have the overall responsibility for financial and programmatic management,
supervision and guidance. The Delegation of Intercooperation, based in Dhaka, provides
thematic and strategic guidance, and encourages cooperation and coordination with other
projects in the employment and income programme of SDC. It also has a role of backstopping
and coaching, particularly towards the PSMU. It organises support from international
consultants.
7.3 Monitoring, evaluation and reporting
The monitoring system will be developed on the basis of the indicators defined in the logical
framework and it will focus on outcomes as well as on outputs. The monitoring of outcomes will
be presented in a summary form in the annual reports, according to the requirements of SDC,
while the monitoring of outputs will be included in the half yearly project reports. Both qualitative
and quantitative aspects will be considered and analysed in the outcome and output monitoring.
The monitoring system of the project will also consider the indicators of SDC’s cooperation
strategy related to its income and employment thematic priority.
