THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS SURVEY.

1^ “Each party undertakes to each of the other parties that it will fulfil its scope of work under the programme and this agreement with reasonable skill, care and diligence; Each party conducts itself in good faith and utilise its best endeavours to ensure that SU is able to fulfil its obligations under the donor agreement.” (MoU)

2^ By written notice, the Steering Committee can determine breach or withdrawal on part of any partner (a simple majority required), or refer parties in dispute to arbitration.

3^ The first Steering Committee Meeting was held on 5 December 2008. Meetings were subsequently held on 3 March 2009, 26 June 2009, 7 September 2009, 27 November 2009, 16 April 2010, 30 July 2010, 26 November 2010, 25 March 2011 and 24 June 2011.

4^ Proposal Document, p.7

5^ This phrase is used in the original Proposal Document. Subsequent discussions held between the RNI and the SEEDS consortium members clarified that, whilst collaboration(s), particularly those arising spontaneously and promising to naturally enhance innovations and outcomes, were to be encouraged and pursued, the consortium would not require any formal collaboration(s) to be tabled nor any formal indicators as such to be developed or incorporated. The then EKN representative requested that focus areas 5 & 6 not be included in the M&E framework.

6^ US, Consortium MoU, 18 December 2008

7^ Focus Areas one to four in the list are referred to in the consortium documents as ‘the’ four focus areas of the project –the meaning appears to be that they constitute the consortium’s sector or sub-sector specific interventions. The latter three focus areas comprise activities anticipated in all the programme documents but not all of the appended individual project documents (a number of project documents however do make reference to this e.g. ELRU). Footnote 6 makes reference.

8^ US, EKN EIWC: Financial Reporting for the period ended Dec 2009, Dec 2010 Annexure A

9^ . There are difficulties in comparing different partner responses, given the very different forms, duration and intensity of interaction with the respondents.
