As stated in the Annual Report and due to the large number of CSO applicant, UNDP has expanded the number of grantees from the initial planned 17 to 22 CSO beneficiaries. This has increased the required budget in 711,926.61, thereby matching the difference for disbursing USD 2,425,687.61 to the 22 CSOs currently under contract. The remaining $376,125.96 gap relate to funds that still need to be mobilized for the overall project management.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Support to Civic Education Project was launched on 10 November 2006. It is a grant disbursement initiative facilitated by UNDP Angola, with funding received to date from NORAD, SIDA, UNDP and USAID. The project aims to empower civic stakeholders expanding democratic participation, particularly among women and other under-represented segments of society, through civic education, provision of access to information about civic and human rights, and awareness-raising activities. It also aims at enhancing the technical and managerial capacity of civil society organizations, as well as at overcoming the lack of resources for implementing democratic participation activities among key stakeholders. Civil society in Angola is still in the process to consolidate its action, and still needs to strengthen its capacity to address the challenges that the country faces nowadays. At the same time, there has been a lack of coordination among Civil Society Organizations, as well as a weak synergic approach. Somehow, there is a need to build the capacity of the national civil society organizations in terms of project management, technical support and promotion of a synergic action among them. In order to respond to this need, the United Nations Development Programme [UNDP] with support of the Government of Angola and International Partners has established a Support to Civic Education [SCE] Unit and currently implements a Civic Education Program. The project consists in disbursing grants for civic education projects to Angolan Civil Society Organizations, and to closely monitor the implementation process with the overall goal of building CSO capacity by means of an on-the-project learning process. The 2007 Report presents achievements made up to December 2007, namely o o o o o o establishment / expansion of the Civic Education Trust Fund; launch of a civic education Call for Proposals; evaluation and selection of incoming project proposals; contract negotiations with shortlisted CSO partners; approval of CSO proposals by the Procurement Approval Committee of UNDP Angola, as well as UNDP New York; issuing of contracts to 22 Civil Society Organizations as well as the National Commission for Elections (CNE) to launch civic education projects across Angola; establishment of the SCE Unit with monitoring team to support project monitoring; as well as CSO refresher trainings.

I. SUPPORT TO CIVIC EDUCATION PROJECT STRATEGY

The Support to Civic Education Project is a historic initiative launched by UNDP Angola and its donor partners Government of Sweden, Norwegian Embassy, and the United States Agency for International Development (US.AID), to reach out to Angolas civil society through education programs covering thematic areas such as democratic dialogue, institutional capacity development, civic and political rights, and access to information through mass media. By distributing grants of up to USD 200,000.-, this initiative will contribute directly to learning-by-doing institutional capacity development of CSOs implementing civic education projects. The project contains the usual phases of project unfoldment, i.e. announcement of a request for proposals; review and evaluation of the technical and financial feasibility of incoming project proposals; capacity assessment of prospective partner organizations; contract negotiations; contract approval through UNDP procurement committees within UNDP Angola and at the UNDP HQ level; and signing of contracts. Projects will be implemented based on mutually-agreed conceptual frameworks which define goals, objectives and sub-objectives, number of target beneficiaries to be reached, as well as definition of success indicators, and means of verification. The project implementation is divided up into three phases: phase no. 1 will witness the disbursement of 20% of project funds, and performance monitoring over a period of two months; next, an additional 36.5% of project funds will be disbursed, for monitoring phase 2 project objective achievements to be implemented during the subsequent 5 months; the same process will be repeated one more time during the remaining 5 months of the 1-year project implementation contract period. CSOs will receive a final 7% payment once they have submitted their final project report. An auditor will be invited at mid-term to assess project management. UNDP has set up a monitoring team that will closely monitor implementation (finance, education and gender adequacy), not just for controlling output delivery, but also for assisting partners implementing activities in the field. UNDP will seek to locate additional funding in order to make the Support to Civic Education project a long-term programme initiative beyond 2008.

II. SUPPORT TO CIVIC EDUCATION OUTCOME/OUTPUTS, ACTIVITIES AND IMPACT

OUTCOME 1: Greater promotion of pro-poor growth, human rights, good governance and decentralization in accordance with international norms by strengthening national capacities at all levels, and empowering citizens and increasing their participation in decision-making processes. OUTPUTS: 1.1. Improved Civic Education awareness and access to information increased 1.2. CSOs trained in basic project management, civic education and conflict prevention. 1.3. Civic education assistance coordinated.

ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED UNDER THE FIRST OUTPUT: (1.1. Improved civic education awareness and access to information increased)
1.1.1. Dissemination of Civic Education Guidelines to partners in Angola 1.1.2. Review and selection of eligible projects 1.1.3. Funding of projects 1.1.4. Monitoring and evaluation 1.1.5. Evaluation

RESULTS: A Support to Civic Education Request for Proposals was published in the Jornal de Angola in January 2007. In addition, a brochure entitled Linhas Directrizes para Apresentao de Propostas was printed, and distributed among Civil Society representatives. In spring 2007, a Technical Committee was established and charged with overseeing the opening and review of the technical and financial proposals received. The Committee consists of five Civil Society experts, representing (1) the Ministry of Territorial Affairs (MAT); (2) the Committee for National Elections (CNE); (3) the Angolan NGO Development Workshop (DW); (4) the United Nations Commission for Human Rights in Angola (UNCHO); and (5) the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The Technical Committee jointly opened, assessed and prioritized 56 CSO proposals in accordance with their technical and financial feasibility.2 Between late August and early October 2007, the UNDP Civic Education Team visited and met with 22 prospective grantees, to conduct contract negociations, proposal clarifications, and in order to carry out an institutional capacity assessment. 22 Project Objective Tables were re-written in such a way that UNDP can monitor project performance based on measurable project output parameters, and in accordance with project milestone definitions. 22 project budgets were re-written and re-formatted to facilitate monitoring of budget expenses in accordance with project milestones.

A list with the names of CSOs who had submitted proposals is provided in Appendix A.

The Approval Committee for Procurement (ACP) of UNDP NY approved the request for approval for procurement of 22 CSO services on 19 November 2007. Contracts were signed between 26 November and 18 December 2007. First tranche payments worth USD 485,137.50 were issued in December 2007 and early January 2008. One grant project has been completed, namely the translation of Angolan Electoral Law into English and French, requested by the Comisso Nacional de Eleiesl (total value USD 18,239.00.-).

NARRATIVE:

The invitation for civic education proposals was open for 6 months (03 January until 30 June 2007). The Technical Committee met to open technical proposals, first on 7 June 2006, and once again on 17 July 2006, in the presence of all five Technical Committee Members. Altogether, 56 proposals have been submitted (some agencies submitted more than one proposal aiming at different provinces). A meeting of all five Technical Committee members to appraise the technical quality of the proposals was held on 2nd August 2007. Using the proposal rating table illustrated in the Support to Civic Education Project Proposal Guidelines (p. 6), the Committee members prioritized proposals whose technical quality was deemed high, and then recommended subsequent opening and review of the financial proposals of these prioritized CSOs. The Committee observed, however, that project outputs and success indicators were sometimes poorly formulated, and void of language that would indicate the direct education benefits of civic education target groups. It was also observed that the number of direct and indirect beneficiaries claimed to be reached through the proposed projects were either unrealistically high, or too low, and would have to be re-confirmed. The Committee also decided that in the case of one agency submitting more than one qualified proposal, only one proposal should be funded (preferably a proposal in a province which lacked qualified proposals overall). The Committee met again on 16 August 2007 to discuss and evaluate the financial proposals of short-listed CSO. Since the Committee felt that many financial proposals required revisions and adjustments, the Committee recommended that the UNDP Senior Civic Education Expert should meet with each of the selected CSOs to negotiate budget adjustments, as well as a muchneeded reformulation of project outputs and success indicators that would facilitate subsequent monitoring & evaluation. As far as institutional capacity assessments of prospective grantees is concerned, the UNDP Support to Civic Education Office carried out an institutional capacity assessment, by interviewing CSO representatives using a list of guidance questions. In addition, the Civic Education Project consulted with the European Commission , who manages a Grant Programme which has funded several CSOs that also happen to be UNDP grant applicants. Hence, proposal documents, assessment interviews, and observations of project officers from partner agencies all contributed to UNDPs capacity assessment of prospective CSO partners. Given the fact that more proposals met the funding eligibility criteria than there was funding available through the Civic Education Trust Fund, UNDP Angola has offered to add approximately USD 712000.- to the Trust Fund. The exact

final amount will depend on whether all CSOs will accept and complete their projects in accordance with their signed contracts. The Senior Civic Education Expert met with the Contract Procurement Approval Committee [CAP] on 9 October 2007, to request CAPs assistance in presenting the request for contract approval to UNDP New York (ACP). CAP submitted this request to New York on 18 October 2007.3 New York approved the CAP request on 19 November 2007. UNDP Angola subsequently invited grantee representatives for a contract signing ceremony which took place on 26 November 2007. 4 10 Partner Agencies participated at the ceremony. The remaining partners signed their contracts in December 2007. Payment disbursements of the first tranche (20% of project budget totals) were initiated in late December 2007. Project Monitoring and Evaluation Activities have thus far not been conducted since project implementation is expected to begin in early January 2007. This notwithstanding, site visits to different prospective partner agencies facilitated pre-project capacity assessments, and the determination of project implementation workplans that are going to form the contractual basis for project monitoring in 2008. Two formal (August and November 2007), and one informal donor meeting (October 2007) were held to inform donors about the status of the project. ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED UNDER THE SECOND OUTPUT: (1.2. CSOs trained in basic project management, civic education and conflict prevention)
1.2.1. Mapping and assess Civic Educations CSO capacity 1.2.2. Conduct training needs assessment with a focus on project management, civic education, conflict prevention 1.2.3. Adapt and/or develop appropriate training materials and tools concerning the civic education 1.2.4. Conduct refresher training and create network of trainers

RESULTS: Questionnaires for mapping civil society organizations as well as capacity needs assessment have been drafted and tested. Collection of training needs assessment data has been initiated. Training materials / handouts for a workshop on Active Learning have been developed and distributed in Portuguese. The UNDP Support to Civic Education team has collected electronic and hardcopy samples of Human Rights materials available in Portuguese. UNDP furthermore collaborates with CNE in the development of a brochure on electoral law, and Cidadania (the latter will be translated in various national languages).
For a list of the agencies funded under this projects, as well as grants amounts, and prospective target beneficiaries, see Appendix B at the end of this document. 4 A template of the contract is enclosed in Appendix C.

Seven workshops have been held addressing themes of civic education pedagogy, how to teach human rights, and how to teach electoral law in community and marginal urban neighborhood settings. The trainings were either facilitated by UNDP staff, or consultants hired from DW workshop (human rights), and CNE (electoral law).

UNDP invited Mr. Mateus Manuel Joo - a delegate of the Ministry of Territorial Administration - as well as Mr. Antonio L. Kiala - the President of FONGA - to attend a threeday seminar on evidence-based policy monitoring in Maputo, Mozambique (28-30 November 2007). This workshop was financed and facilitated by the UNDP South Africa Bureau. Between late August and early October 2007, UNDP Civic Education Staff visited or met with representatives of all 22 Civic Education partners agencies polish proposal output formulations, and to negotiate project budgets. It was found that goals and objectives formulation skills, as well as budgeting skills were fairly weak. Working with Facilitating Partner Agency representatives on these issues on one-on-one basis also served as a organizational capacity assessment-/ capacity development exercise, and was as such recognized and appreciated by partner agency representatives. NARRATIVE: When the UNDP Support to Civic Education started meeting and visiting with prospective CSO partners, it became evident that most proposed projects sought to launch training and community learning encounter activities through community activists, in order facilitate civic education modules in the areas of civic, electoral and human rights. It therefore made sense for UNDP to offer in the weeks preceding disbursement of project grants training workshops that would give participants the opportunity to reflect about principles of adult education, and to engage in the preparation of civic education action plans that would help jump-start project operations in the provinces.

10

Although questionnaires have been prepared and tested to assess civic education capacity development needs of Angolan Civil Society Organizations, the best capacity assessment opportunities thus far have proven to be meetings and field visits, joint planning sessions, and trainings. These interactions clearly illustrate strong need for capacity development support in the following areas: IT skills (MS Word, Excel), planning, budgeting, proposal design (especially formulation of measurable outputs and success indicators), monitoring & evaluation, supervision, as well as curriculum development, adult pedagogy, participatory learning, and training design for experiential learning. Training Materials were developed in support of the workshops facilitated by UNDP, or invited consultants. In addition, UNDP has started developing monitoring and evaluation forms which can be used by Facilitating Partner agencies to monitor (and at the same time document) their own project implementation. A consultant from DW was invited to share DWs experience of facilitating community learning encounters on Civic and Human Rights directed to citizens of rural communities and urban marginalized neighbourhoods. Development of pedagogical materials on electoral law were provided by CNE with PNUD financing, so as to comply with Government of Angola Law which insists that only official materials should be used when engaging in electoral law education activities. ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED UNDER THE SECOND OUTPUT: (1.3. CSOs trained in basic project management, civic education and conflict prevention)
1.3.1. Recruitment of Staff Unit 1.3.2. Establish and equip the coordination unit work space 1.3.3. Contract of an external audit assessment 1.3.4. Establishment of an M&E system 1.3.5. Coordination of key civic education stakeholders

RESULTS: An international Senior Civic Education Expert was recruited on 18 June 2006. A driver was recruited on 29th of August 2007; the M&E / Data Management Assistant was recruited on 01 September 2007; a M&E / Finance Assistant was recruited on 15 October 2007. The M&E / Gender Assistant was recruited on 03 December 2007. All staff received on-the-job training through the Senior Civic Education Expert. A Support to Civic Education Office was established in the Mezanine of the UNBuilding (between the ground floor and first floor), in August 2007. It contains space for 5 staff, and presents a very good set-up for team work, receiving visitors, and joint staff planning. Desks, chairs, three desktops, one laptop, and two laser printers were purchased, as well as two book shelves, a small round conference table with six chairs, as well as white boards, and a water dispenser. The project also purchased a Toyoto Landcruiser to be able to carry out field mission- and monitoring assignments across Angola. The establishment of a monitoring system was partly achieved by requesting from facilitating partner agencies to structure their objective tables and

11

budgets in accordance with measurable milestone achievements. These project output tables are now part of the project contract and will be used to guide monitoring activities and milestone reports about the projects implemented in the field. Contracting of an external auditor will take place in 2008. Further coordination meetings of key civic education stakeholders will also take place in 2008, once project implementation is under way

III. CHALLENGES AHEAD

For 2008, the Support to Civic Education Project will have to brace for the following challenges: 1. Securing Development Partners Support for New Project Initiatives in 2008 UNDP decided to award 100% of the funds available in the Civic Education Trust Fund given the fact that parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled to take place between 2008 and 2009. In order to keep the momentum of Civil Society Organizations engaging in civic education activities going, it will be necessary to continue to fund Civil Society Organization activities beyond the duration of the current project. The first challenge to be faced by UNDP is therefore to engage more development partners to support new and follow-up initiatives. The second challenge consists in developing a Civil Society empowerment strategy that transcends the current civic education funding approach used through the Civic Education Trust Fund. One strategy currently available might be the launching of a Public Sector Capacity Development (CD) Initiative that includes CD of SCO to enable Civil Society Organizations to use participatory research methodologies for assessing Millennium Development Goal [MDG] community needs, and subsequently engaging in evidencebased monitoring of MDG achievements and public expenditure towards pro poor in Angola. This information could be shared with the National Institute of Statistics under the Ministry of Planning, and provide the basis for a social data collection collaborative work relationship between the Government of Angola and Angolan CSOs (as it is being the case in some other African countries). A similar strategy is currently piloted in Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique, and could be easily replicated in Angola. Information about this pilot effort was shared at the afore-mentioned Civil Society Evidence-Based Policy Monitoring workshop in Mozambique, at which a member of the Ministry of Territorial Administration (MAT) as well as the President of FONGA participated. UNDP is considering options to embrace similar model here in Angola, ideally in collaboration with the Government of Angola as well as FONGA. Should for any reason this initiative not proceed as planned initiative (targeting the public sector as a whole and CSO capacity as an accountability mechanism), the data collection training for CSOs could still take place and provide the basis for new CSO project proposals and project implementation follow-up. This time, the overall approach would consist in building CSO capacity development through an

12

action-reflection-action and participatory inquiry approach, as the basis for subsequent MDG-oriented project implementation. 2. Project Implementation Performance of CSO Partner Agencies To support and ensure satisfactory project implementation performance of CSO partners, it will be necessary to enact an effective communication and supervision scrutiny, and to provide refresher training services at an ongoing basis. Both means are costly, however, and funds available to the Support to Civic Education Project (only USD 45000.- for Refresher Trainings; and only USD 50,000.- for M&E) are hardly enough to regularly monitor 22 CSOs implementing projects in 18 provinces over a period of 12 months; or to provide refresher trainings. Additional funding will have to be secured, either by attracting new contributions, or by re-allocating money from other project budget lines. For 2008, we would like to facilitate regular get-togethers of CSO representatives to share lessons-learned as a result of their project implementation experiences (this is an explicit request of CSO partner agencies); a workshop about legal requirements for CSOs to register and function in accordance with Angolan law; a workshop on project design and proposal writing; a workshop on conflict resolution and conflict prevention; and workshops on report writing. To implement these trainings, another 50,000 USD would be needed to run trainings for 2 staff members of each of the 22 CSO partner agencies. 3. Politicization of Civic Education Initiatives Since 2008 is an election year, there is a strong probability that CSO project implementers might feel inclined (or might be persuaded by politicized elements of society) to use civic education activities as a means to engage in party-specific campaigns, or proselytism, or finger-pointing tactics. UNDP has to monitor projects carefully, and ensure that UNDP moneys are not diverted for party-specific agendas.

IV. LESSONS LEARNED

Having completed the RFP, project proposal bid opening and evaluation processes, as well as submission of request for procurement approvals to CAP and ACP, the UNDP Support to Civic Education project team is now able to reflect on this process and recommend the following improvements for future efforts to implement similar processes. 1. Linhas Directrizes for CSOs should be developed in consultation with the procurement officer as well as ACP in New York. 2. They must be disseminated more effectively through Umbrella Systems and donor contacts so as to reach all CSOs in all provinces. 3. The projects solicited must be prepared in such a way that they can meet expectations outlined in the UNDP Professional Service Contract template. They must require project outputs in accordance with milestones (20%, 36.5%, 36.5%, 7%).

13

4. It would be advisable to refrain from soliciting a fully-fledged project proposal from CSOs, because some CSOs although holding the promise of being effective and efficient project implementers in the field do lack the capacity to present proposals of satisfactory quality. Instead UNDP should request concept papers of no more than five or six pages, which can be easily evaluated in regard of vision, creativity, ingenuity, number of direct beneficiaries, and measurable project outputs. The CSOs with the best concept papers could then be invited for a one-week seminar where they are provided with technical assistance to develop full-fledged project proposals. Most importantly, proposal writers need to dominate the skill of formulating s.m.a.r.t. (i.e. specific, mesurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound) project objectives, and to realistically define the number of direct project beneficiaries. Financial parameters for salary pay or costs of equipment could also be communicated at such a workshop event, and budgets that reflect expenses per project milestone could be developed also in a joint effort. 5. The proposal evaluation criteria should be simplified. In the crteria section of the linhas directrizes only one (1) crteria per row should be tested, so as to facilitate the work of the proposal evaluation panel member. 6. The RFP should be open for no more than two months. A lower number of applicants would facilitate the work of the Technical Committee evaluating the proposals. This notwithstanding, various RFPs could be announced throughout the year. 7. Grantees must be requested early on to provide banking information such as IBAN, SWIFT-Code, as well as bank details of their Banks Intermediary (or Correspondent) Bank in the US (Bank Name, SWIFT and Bank Account). It is preferable to arrange for electronic transfers from abroad, than executing incountry fund transfers, since eventual complications can be resolved more speedily. Simply requesting proof of a bank account is not enough, and it is a time-consuming process to request and check accuracy of IBANs and correspondent bank contact and account details.
