2.  I. Assess overall implementation progress focusing on agreed actions in the 5th JIR in all ASDP subcomponents and cross cutting issues,  II. Assess linkages/relationships between national level sector priorities and priority setting, planning and budgeting for local investments. Identify opportunities for improving these linkages in ways that assure higher program impacts and sustainability. 

3.  III.Identify challenges and constraints to implementation progress and outline emerging issues/measures for improvement.  IV.
