Demand Assessment Missions
Capacity building support to countries usually begins with a Demand Assessment Mission. This mission reviews existing monitoring and analysis efforts, establishing a work programme, a budget, and the necessary institutional and legal structures to manage a country project.
These missions assess the need for capacity building support, and make recommendations with respect to:
- Institutional arrangements, coordination within a National Taskforce, and harmonisation with related national, regional and international initiatives, through meetings with relevant agencies, departments, donors etc
- Legal mandate to implement surveys, and protect data confidentiality Link underlined text to Left menu – Private Capital Flows / Legal and Institutional / Legal
