supported by the WB’s Drought NLTA, and yet there is still no guarantee that by
the end of the program a national drought policy will be in place.
Sustainable changes (outcomes), therefore, are influenced by the Drought
NLTA, but promoted and implemented by the stakeholders. A sustainable change
(outcome) is understood as a result of complex collaboration processes that are
naturally influenced (both positively and negatively) by many factors (commonly
considered as “externalities” in other approaches).
The original design of the WBI pilot suggested the active engagement of the WB
team and partners of the stakeholders in the design and implementation of the M&E
strategy, through meetings and workshops to promote joint reflection along lines of
implementation, as well as the harvesting and analysis of outcomes. The specific
conditions of the Drought NLTA, once implemented however, did not allow these
opportunities. Nevertheless, with the intent to preserve the participatory nature that
is one of the key-features of the approach, individual and group interviews,
questionnaires, formal and informal interviews were carried out in person (taking
advantage of regional workshops), through e-mail (written), and Skype or
