Section 3: Implementation Arrangements••Drafting and launching of NAPs is only the first step in putting UNSCR 1325 into practice.Without the effective implementation of the plan, it will remain just words on paper. Asstated earlier, an inclusive and participatory process of drafting NAPs along with a planthat includes clear objectives, initiatives and accountability, M & E mechanisms, greatlyfacilitates the implementation process.••When a NAP has been finalized and adopted, governments are often faced with thechallenge of who should coordinate the implementation of the formulated NAP. Shouldthe taskforce that was responsible for the formulation be the one that is also responsiblefor its implementation or should a new mechanism be put in place for the purpose ofimplementation?••Most common method of coordination is the establishment of an inter-agency workinggroup or taskforce made solely of representatives from governmental institutions (thistaskforce may be established during the inception or towards the end of the NAPformulation phase). This approach will have the benefit of bringing different actorsaround one table to ensure coordinated action, accountability and the exchange ofexperiences and information. The plan should spell out which particular bodies areresponsible for the implementation of each activity and requires that each actor reportson the current status of the implementation efforts, develop indicators and propose atimeframe for when the implementation reports should be written.••In some countries, the entity in charge of developing a NAP is also responsible for leadingits implementation like in the case of Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia, Netherland and Norway.Requirements for moving NAPs from Paper to Action1. A dedicated budget – funding is the most serious challenge to implementing a NAP.Hence it is important to have in place a financial framework. How can NAPs be financedthrough:••The provision of a dedicated national budget.••Donor agencies.••Private sector funding.••Government and civil society organizations as part of their proposals.2. Development of a set of indicators – these will determine the success of implementingspecific objectives in a NAP. These measures are tied to implementing agencies,timeframes and sometimes sources of funding.3. Identifying specific outcomes – this will not only make it easier to measure successof the plan but also provide a framework for identifying problems and modifying action.4. Time frames and plan periods – NAPs should have a plan period/time frame. Settinga time period is useful for enforcement and evaluation of the plan. It will also help acountry to provide very detailed information about activities within a timeline.18
5. Advocacy and lobbying – this would involve stakeholder analysis and who is influencingwho. This can be carried out by both members of the taskforce for implementation,CSOs, etc.6. An M & E plan and structure – NAPs should have reference to reporting – at minimuman annual meeting with CSOs and relevant ministries and an annual report. This informationis necessary for the transparency of the plan processes and assist in assessingthe performance of NAP implementation and plans for further development or revision.19
