MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING
CHRiPTiP’s process of internal reform is to strengthen its planning, monitoring, and evaluation functions. Its human resources, finance, and administrative management have been yielding results. Progress was made in standardizing a predictable year planning process, as well as in starting to build the capacity of members and providing guidance on results-based planning and monitoring as well as the generation of lessons learned and best practices, which will require further improvement.
