Independent monitor Rick Davies has now published his first report on the Katine Community Partnerships Project. You can read that report here and also view Amref's response. But what do you think of Rick's comments?
Rick still says that in at least three components there are not enough resources to provide all villages with at least some minimal level of assistance. To remind you, for the Katine project Amref is working across five key components: health, education, water, livelihoods and governance. You can view Amref's budget for Katine in full here.
Davies warns that, "the livelihoods component seems especially under-invested".
Should Amref be spending more on livelihoods? Perhaps there should be an equal spend across each of the five components, or maybe Amref is already spending too much? Do you agree with Rick's other summary of recommendations? Do you applaud Amref for putting its budget and work processes under the microscope? Help further the debate below.
