Under the leadership of the General Director of Evaluation of Public Policies in the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the second pilot implementation of Cap Scan started early March in Niger, after Mauritania in July 2008. The team includes 18 members, with representatives at the national level from 10 ministries, 3 national institutions and 2 capacity development programmes (list below),  representatives from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the World Bank and UNDP and two facilitators, national and international. Further to the completion of the scoping and preparatory phase, workshops have been conducted by the national facilitator in each ministry and government institution. The final workshop is scheduled 21-23 April and includes a session for getting Secretary Generals involved in the process. The implementation of Cap Scan in Niger follows on significant efforts made by the Government of Niger in establishing a work culture oriented towards managing for development results. These have included in particular creating dedicated structures in each ministry and reviewing and improving the monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for the Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy 2008-2012 (SDRP). Significant training efforts in the area of MfDR focusing on public servants have been undertaken to support the initiative. Niger is also one of the countries with an established national MfDR CoP.
