The following characteristics of an ineffective FFW-assisted<br />

project were also identified:<br />

Projects with lack of participation by the community,<br />

which can lead to jealousy and division within the<br />

community.<br />

* Inadequate complementary non-food resources.<br />

* When employment overrides development objectives, e.g.<br />

projects which are not needs-based in terms of assets,<br />

but based on availability of food.<br />

* Poor project monitoring and evaluation.<br />

Inherent Program Constraints<br />

The CRS FFW Program does face several inherent constraints, which<br />

future program support will need to take into consideration.<br />

The following constraints were identified as inherent constraints<br />

to the FFW Program by CRS representatives during the July 1, 1987<br />

semina r:<br />

Selection of Consignees: Each Bishop of a diocese within the<br />

Catholic Church in India selects the CRS consignees. This<br />

selection process is outside of CRS control. CRS zonal<br />

offices, however, -an "deselect" consignees if their<br />

management performance is poor, or if they fail to submit FFW<br />

Development Plans.<br />

Proect Folder Selection (and their staff): Consignees select<br />

project holders - a process which is also outside CRS's<br />

control. As with consignees, however., the zonal offices can<br />

"deselect" project holders if their ,roiect performance is<br />

poor. In some instances, CRS zonal offices have recommended<br />

that project holders be Included In a particular consignee<br />

area.<br />

* Transfer of Consirnees and Project Polders: Because of the<br />

turnover of individuals in consignee and project holder roles<br />

- due to transfers within the Church organization - CRS finds<br />

it difficult at times to maIntain program ouality and<br />

continut'. CPS sees its relationships with the Bishops as<br />

essential in assuring good replacements in consignee<br />

pos2 tions.<br />

* Th~ VountarvNature ,<br />

of the Program: The FF ' Program is<br />

dependent to a large degree on voluntary assistance - from<br />

site supervision, to transport for CRS monitoring and review<br />

staff. CRS expectations of the FF' Program are constrained<br />

by this program reality.
