Expected Result 3
Coordination of IAP implementation supported Committee Meet

3.1 Organise inception meeting in collaboration with other partners
(Timetable and inception period)

To strengthen the coherence of AHI related activities in African ACP countries, an inception meeting will be organised to present the programme to the stakeholders, to discuss cooperation strategies / possibilities, communication strategies, communication media and information sharing arrangements.

3.2 Technical coordination meetings are organised in three programme regions
(Timetable every 6 months regional meeting and one global meeting by mid term of the programme 18 months)

During implementation of the programme, periodic technical meetings will be organised on regional level to share information on the execution of the programme, share relevant findings, present recommendations and discuss harmonisation of common control policies.

A global technical meeting to evaluate progress made and lessons learned will be organised around the mid-term period of the programme. This meeting should inform, together with the Mid-Term evaluation, if adjustments for the implementation of the second half of the programme are required.

3.3 Organise twice-yearly steering committee meetings
(Timetable every six months)

The steering committee comprises of relevant stakeholders to the AHI on the continental and global level. Meetings will be organised on a 6 monthly basis, starting with a first meeting towards the end of the inception period.

Ideally, these meetings will be conducted back to back to the ALive Executive Committee for economic efficiency as the majority members of the ALive executive Committee members are candidates for the SPINAP-AHI Steering Committee

Terms of reference for this governing body will be prepared during the inception period and approved during the initial meeting of the SC.

The SC will approve activities to be undertaken by the programme and will assure their coherence and complimentarity with activities of other donors and/or technical institutions.
