Covering the first ninety (90) days of activity, the plan will include a timeline and deliverables of specific activities, management tasks, and procurements required for a successful operational start-up and partnership development approach. This brief start-up work plan not to exceed five

(5) pages is due 15 days after award.

In consultation with the COR, the contractor will develop a start-up plan that will serve as the basic blueprint for the first three months of the contract.

These include but are not limited to:

(1) Establishing an office;

(2) Developing a staffing plan;

(3) Consulting with stakeholders and donors;

(4) Developing a mechanism and procedures for grant making;

(5) Developing a performance monitoring, evaluation, and learning plan;

The update should inform on the status of field office operations, solicitations in preparation, solicitations out for bid, awards, shipment, carrier name, and expected arrival date.

2. ANNUAL WORK PLANS

The annual work plan is the key document for contract performance against which contractor performance shall be monitored and evaluated by both the COR and the contractor. During contract performance, the annual work plan will be updated, as required, subject to COR approval. Contracting officer's approval of annual work plan updates shall be required if the proposed changes impact on the use of available contract funds. It is anticipated that USAID Mission staff and relevant host country officials will review the annual work plan updates in order to provide comments thereon and to recommend changes. Such comments and changes, however, if accepted by the contractor, shall not constitute a change from the terms of the contract. A brief, French-language version of the work plan must also be submitted at the same time. Annual work plans shall describe the activities and interventions required to meet the contract outputs and outcomes, including:

(1) Proposed activities for the given year;

(2) Corresponding time frame for implementation of annual activities;

(3) Detailed budget for implementation;

(4) Information on how activities will be implemented in a collaborative and coordinated manner with implementing partners and other Government of Senegal entities;

(5) Review of previous year's accomplishments, problems, and progress towards achieving contract outputs; and

(6) Proposed annual accomplishments and progress towards achieving outputs.

The annual work plans are intended to be working documents for the use of the contractor and USAID; much of the information may be presented in tabular format and there is no expectation of widespread public dissemination. The first year work plan is due no later than 60 days following contract award. If the time period for the first year work plan does not align with US Government fiscal year (October 1 - September 30), then the COR shall determine the time period to be covered by the first year work plan. Annual work plans for subsequent years shall be submitted no later than 30 days before the end of the US Government fiscal year.

As an annex to the work plan, the contractor shall submit a performance monitoring plan (PMP) that includes objectives, expected results and indicators. A detailed and complete PMP will be developed and submitted for COR’s approval with the first annual work plan. The contractor and the COR will agree upon the final choice of performance indicators useful for timely management decisions. The contractor will collect data for performance indicators, monitor progress, and report status at least annually to the COR. PMP data must meet reasonable quality criteria of validity, reliability, timeliness, precision and integrity, and be disaggregated by gender as appropriate and feasible. The contractor shall report on the PMP on a quarterly basis as part of the periodic progress reports.

3. LIFE OF ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The Life-of-project implementation plan covering FY2020 – FY2025 is intended to be a public document, not to exceed 10 pages, in both French and English, is due 90 days after award.

The Contractor will develop a coordinated implementation plan in collaboration with all resource partners for the activity. The plan will at a minimum include:

• A clear strategy to frame all components to achieve collective impact;

• Clear guidelines as to how partners will work in a coordinated manner on work planning, implementation, and monitoring;

• How the partners will ensure that each partnering organization will contribute to the overall strategy and implementation and that the different technical components of the activity will be integrated or coordinated;

• A common communications strategy for the regular sharing of information between the partners, government, and USAID COR, which would also include joint observation visits to activity sites;

• A management plan for decision-making for project components, along with an explanation of how information will be shared vertically and horizontally;

• A plan for dispute resolution.

4. ACTIVITY MONITORING, EVALUATION, AND LEARNING PLAN

The Contractor is required to submit a refined and finalized monitoring and evaluation methodology as a life-of-activity Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (AMEL) within 45 days of award. This final life-of-activity AMELP must include a Baseline as a Benchmark to measure EXPECTED RESULTS against. Monitoring, evaluation and learning will be an on-going, collaborative process with the participation of the Contractor, USAID, counterparts, and other stakeholders. The Contractor will develop and submit an overall Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (AMELP) plan to the COR for review and approval.

The AMELP shall track standard indicators; other activity-specific performance indicators (both input/output and impact) as suggested by the Contractor and/or USAID; results, milestones, and clearly defined benchmarks including the relevant targets and timeframe; baseline information;

data quality assessment plans; and learning plan. The COR will work with the Contractor to ensure that the AMELP is consistent with and meets the data collection needs of the Project, as well as the Performance Plan and Report (PPR). Each quarter, the Contractor will receive a prepopulated Performance Indicators Tracking Table (PITT) and fill it out for submission as part of their quarterly report.

Analysis and review of AMELP data will ensure that the AMELP effectively captures and adequately measures the expected outputs, results, outcomes, and high-level targeted results outlined in the work plan. The AMELP must be updated on an annual basis and submitted no later than 45 days after the end of the fiscal year. The MEL reflects the award progress over the life of the Activity and is a critical tool for planning, managing, documenting, evaluating performance and learning. Findings from the MEL should be reviewed and validated in annual pause-and reflect-sessions with USAID staff, and revised when appropriate in consultation with the COR.

More details on the format of the MEL plan will be provided after award.

The Contractor will collect and submit to USAID/Senegal (to dakarreporting@usaid.gov and the COR) all applicable AMELP indicator data (actual results and updated targets, along with justifications and deviation narratives) quarterly, no later than 30 days after the end of the quarter using USAID/Senegal’s standardized format. In response to USAID/Senegal's annual request to be sent by USAID's Economic Growth Office to the Contractor, the Contractor will also be required to submit the AMELP data in a format that is consistent with the Feed the Future Monitoring System (FTFMS) reporting template developed by the Bureau for Food Security (BFS) for the inclusion in the Agency's FTF report (see below), and also in a format that is consistent with the PPR template for the inclusion in the USG's central reporting platform - Facts Info NextGen. In the event that the Agency redesigns the standard F performance indicators (e.g.

adds new required indicators, retires or replaces the existing ones, etc.), the Contractor must revise its AMELP plan to reflect the Agency's new monitoring approach.

1. FTF MONITORING SYSTEM (FTFMS)

This activity’s performance management would rely on FTF’s system for monitoring, evaluation, and learning, including the Population-Based Survey (PBS), which integrates real-time monitoring and learning into the implementation of programs and ensures the sharing of knowledge with the broader community.

mailto:dakarreporting@usaid.gov

The Contractor must submit reporting information into FTFMS within the timeframe provided by USAID/Washington. The reporting information includes results on standard FTF indicators, deviation narratives, and a summary narrative of achievements for the reporting period.
