OVERALL COMMENTS:
The response to the recommendations from the synthesis evaluation (global MRP) was prepared by the Funding Coordination Section, in consultation with relevant branches and sections, and reviewed and approved by the Director of Corporate Programs. This draft global MRP was then circulated to the Pooled Fund Working Group (PFWG) for comments and consideration. Following the discussion and input from the PFWG, the global MRP was reviewed by FCS, and then submitted to OCHA’s Executive Management Committee for review and endorsement in April 2016. It is important to highlight that the Global Country Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) Guidelines were launched in February 2015 after some of the field missions related to this evaluation had taken place. The CBPF guidelines addressed many of the recommendations, and so feature prominently in the response.
