27.1.3 - TEC recommendations to the ITI team
2022
Heading 2
For future TEC books, TEC requests that ITI:
- Include updates on ongoing surveys and insecurity in the comments (e.g., this was done well in Sudan’s application)
- Continue thinking through the best way to display multiple rounds in one year; there was confusion over interpreting the annual round number column
- For mid-year requests, add “NONE” to TEC Decision Column
Conclusion/Recommendation:
The program team has worked with David Addiss to streamline how ITI represents mid-year requests and multiple rounds in one year in the applications. The new formatting is being used during the TEC 29 application reviews.

Heading 2
Reports from the national programs in the first 6 countries implementing modified strategies on their experience, ideally including information on key indicators comparing pre-modified to post-modified implementation.

TEC recommends supporting NPCs during the ITI-supported Regional Meetings to identify a useful common set of indicators to be reported on in the future.
Conclusion/Recommendation:
ITI is working with national programs to share lessons learned during the early phases of implementation at TEC 28 (and 29). Suggested indicators have been suggested through presentation templates provided to national programs.
