June Management Board meeting: Key questions

Future of Ferghana Valley projects:– Finalisation versus continuation– Need for project assessments

Support for national focal points– Funding for assistants– National coordination groups

Links between CARNET, Aarhus centres

When to finalise?

Unsuccessful projects Insufficient donor or programme country

support for continuationSuccessful projects that:

– Cannot be scaled up or replicated– Should be in a different programme (GEF?)– Have high opportunity costs

Resources should be redeployed elsewhere

When to continue?

Project enjoys continued support from:– Programme country(s)– Donors

A clear decision can be made about whether the project should be:– Continued– Replicated– Scaled up

Outcome: inclusion into Ferghana Valley work plan for 2008-2010

Assistance to National Focal Points

ENVSEC Management Board acknowledges the need;

Funding modalities in question:– Should be linked to specific project;– Should be hired by CO and report principally to

RDO

National coordination groups

Principal body for coordination with:– Stakeholders– Other donors, projects, international

agenciesBest modality for IAEA coordination

Country assistants to facilitate groupsRoutines at the individual project level

needed if this coordination is to work

Roles of CARNet, Aarhus Centres

Links between Osh Aarhus Centre and CARNet established

Work still needed:– REHRA: information dissemination can

improve– RESCA: routines for coordination lacking– Other projects: similar issues
