Descripción
The Operational Partners Implementation Modality (OPIM) allows FAO to carry out projects in collaboration with national and non-profit actors, to achieve more sustainable results. The main objectives are to increase national ownership, build capacity of the partner through implementation of projects, and make the best use of expertise available on the ground. In most cases, FAO is fully accountable for the resources it receives from the resource partner, ensuring that funds are used for their intended purposes and for the technical soundness of the project/programme results. Working with Operational Partners is thus an opportunity that comes with risks, which must be managed throughout the life of the project. Key elements of risk management approach include mainly capacity assessment of the potential Operational Partner, signature of a legally binding agreement, spot checks, audit and progress monitoring during implementation. Through close collaboration and its monitoring activities FAO contributes to the partner's capacity development.
