10. CP Policies and Principles “The new approach requires that CPF and CWP be adopted for all countries receiving FAO support, regardless of whether there is an FAO country representation. Exceptions to the preparation of CPF are proposed by the FAO Representative to the ADG/RR, who assesses the reasons for the exception. “ Extract from the 108 th Session Report of the Programme Committee

11. Implications and Challenges for the New Generation of CPFs BEFORE EVALUATION  NMTPF isolated from Corporate Planning  Many FAO planning frameworks  Voluntary approach  NMTPF is a country office product  Priority setting tool  Multiple accountability and reporting AFTER EVALUATION  CPF fully integrated in Corporate Planning  One country programme  Prerequisite for funds allocation  CPF is a corporate product  Results oriented planning tool  One accountability and reporting
