DoL/sectors of concentration : consider overcrowded and
orphan sector when preparing new strategies, and be more
active in less sectors

Comparative advantage: OK with self-assessment
Delegated cooperation/silent partnerships: may be relevant in
some cases
Reduction of number of WGs: 2 HOCs to prepare proposals

2.3. CHALLENGES AHEAD
GoM assessment in the AR 2010:
- Need for restructuration and simplification of the WGs
architecture, making them more flexible
- Have less members in each WG and allocate donor staff
with good technical skills
What has to be done:
-
Work with GoM, wait for and discuss GoM's suggestions
Results on the 8 issues of the action plan
Continue with annual mapping of WGs and DoL
Continue with annual training of new focal pts/new HOCs
