development, and post-harvest handling and storage. Each priority program has clear objectives and targets that are reflected in the PSTA. Funding proposals are also made available according to priority programs to inform development partners on funding gaps. The Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) coincides with the end of the PSTA, which means that implementation runs parallel. This provides for an ease of monitoring of implementation activities again budgets. There are M&E capacity gaps within the planning departments for MINAGRI, RAB, and NAEB. These entities are short on skilled personnel and adequate infrastructure systems, and often rely on outsourced staff to support the M&E process. 6. Rwanda has put in place a strong mutual accountability framework, which serves as an effective tool for the government and development partners and a best practice example for the rest of CAADP. Rwanda has a joint sector review mechanism that brings together key development partners, CSOs, and the private sector to review policy implementation and draw recommendations for subsequent plans. JSRs take place annually, with a meeting in the spring dedicated to looking forward in the next fiscal and a meeting in the autumn designed to review the previous years progress. The JSR is conducted by the ASWG, which thus provides a strong alignment between the NAIP process and the JSR process. The Common Performance Accountability Framework (CPAF) is the main monitoring framework for the sector. There are ten prioritized policy actions tied to five key indicators with annual targets for each ministry. In addition, the Donor Performance Accountability Framework (DPAF) measures the performance of development partners. Both CPAF and DPAF are measured using a traffic light system (i.e. green, yellow, or red) and progress is reviewed at the ASWG. Joint Action Development Forums (JADF) are a district-level extension of the ASWG. They are monthly multi-stakeholder meeting with representatives from the government, farmers, local community leaders, local companies, and local civil society groups. JADF develops five year District Development Plans (DPP), as well as annual sector targets. DPPs are then integrated into sector programs at the national level.
