description:

Signing the NCA does not necessarily lead to the NSMP taking a strong leadership role on strategies for job creation and development in the local region.

context:

There has been an unclear structure regarding interim arrangements for implementing the NCA. According to the formal agreement, following the signing of the ceasefire, parties to ceasefire will develop a joint implementation plan relating to the provision of service delivery in areas such as livelihoods, education and health care, etc. The NCA required this to be discussed quickly after signing among parties. However, the Government did not move forward with discussions, but rather appeared to make assumptions that areas of ceasefire were under the control of the Government, and that EAOs had seceded control to the Government through signing the NCA. This decreased the propensity of the NMSP to cooperate on service delivery.

success:

The initial support from ILO over a two-year period should provide an initial basis for a trusting relationship from which support by ILO to the NMSP for institutional strengthening could be established.

challenges:

To achieve effective leadership, the NMSP needs capacity building to strengthen its systems and processes. However, there are sensitivities around external involvement in its internal affairs. Several project stakeholders stated that the NMSP lacked capacity and a strong drive to lead development activities within their jurisdiction. Support for institutional strengthening will be key but establishing the level of trust required is not easy in the fraught political environment.
