This activity assisted:

• The design of disbursement-linked indicators (DLIs), including definitions, targets and verification protocols,and
• Institutional strengthening measures required for the anti-poverty, private sector development and water management components of the Brazil Ceará PforR. GPOBA’s lessons learned were used for the Development Linked Indicators.

The  Development Linked Indicators  were  completed and part of the budget was returned as the project team used more staff time and fewer consulting services than what was originally planned.

The activities proposed in this technical assistance have as an ultimate goal to conduct preliminary work for the development of a beneficiary feedback system (the project) to inform RBM processes in Ceará as well as the monitoring of DLIs targets in an ongoing manner. The specific objectives are:

i) the identification of entry-points where for beneficiary feedback,

ii) identification of main stakeholders, and

iii) development of implementation strategy for beneficiary-feedback mechanism.

The deliverables have been completed. Following the workshop carried out in the previous reporting period, the team prepared a proposal for further assistance to integrate RBF into the management process, completing the GPOBA support to this PforR operation.
