Less than 20 per cent of investments are delivered by effective private sector partners D Private sector engagement is reduced and conversion of service delivery to private sector is not working effectively 4 4 8 DFAT and IFT have to energise private sector relationship building and engagement and utilise the full potential of the Incentive Fund and the Innovation Fund 1 1 2 Poor sub-contract management and construction reduces quality and increases cost D Infrastructure does not meet minimum quality, fit-for-purpose and maintenance standards reducing application of VfM 4 4 8 Evaluation of phases I,II and III will identify the scale and impact of this risk, and the reasons why they occurred, to allow enhanced due diligence 1 1 2 Delays mean unfinished programs which require IF (IV) support beyond six years D Places pressure on partner to complete and could result on lower quality outputs and outcomes, increased costs 4 2 6 The requirement to manage outstanding commitments has occurred in every phase so early manage down of IF (IV) or early succession or hand-over strategies should be agreed 2 1 3 IF (IV) processes are ignored to fund projects D Integrity of IF damaged. DFATs reputation damaged and investments compromised. 3 3 6 Implement no-exceptions policy. Strong Team Leader and MG required to defend IF (IV). IRT will respond accordingly. 2 2 4
Establish Methodology and Plan 1 Design methodology and plan 19-Sep Pre-PNG meetings and document review 2 19-Sep Travel and document review 2 21/27 Sep In PNG consultations 5 Aide Memoire 26-Sep In Australia drafting 8 Draft PDD 6-Oct In Australia finalisation 2 Final PDD 30-Oct Total days 20 This is stage one of the design process for the Incentive Fund Phase IV [IF (IV)]. With limited time and analytical scope it will update the Phase III design. Later, stage two will introduce an Innovation Fund component. The Program Design Document Contents headings above identify the question areas for this design mission. The approach is to question, confirm answers and positions, identify important DFAT narrative, and rearticulate as required. Design principles and context, and any repositioning, will be presented in the Aide Memoire. Key documents provided by DFAT: Design Terms of Reference DFAT Changes to the Aid Management System IF4 Options Paper August (2014) PNG Aid Assessment recommendations Aid for trade notes Private sector development and private sector engagement: guidance note (July 2014) Incentive Fund Phase III Project Design Document Incentive fund Phase III Activity Completion Report Incentive Fund Independent Progress Report November 2012 Changing Attitudes: Stories from the Incentive Fund Phase III 2010-2014 Incentive Fund Information Book 2011 – 2nd edition Document Review and Consultation Process DFAT has already committed to use the Phase III design as the basis for stage one of the IF (IV) design. The design team will conduct a review of the key documents and undertake limited interviews and focus group consultations with DFAT (Canberra, Post and Innovation Hub), GoPNG officers, Managing Contractor staff (tbc), the Management Group and selected stakeholders. Design Questions and Confirmations These questions will serve the design team to reconfirm key aspects and functions and to identify any repositioning or required change. Incentive Fund Phase IV country situation and development context What is the current development situation in PNG and what narrative is DFAT using to describe this context, including the PNG Aid Assessment Recommendations. How did the development context affect efficiency and effectiveness of previous Incentive Fund investments, and to what extent did IF outputs and outcomes affect the context? What are the priority lessons to influence future IF (IV) investment areas? To what extent can IF (IV) align with the four investment strategic tests and 10 high level strategic targets of Australian Aid?
