BPD External Programme Review – BPD is delighted with the findings of an external organisational review funded by DFID. The primary findings from a number of interviews, survey responses and a BPD document review were overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that BPD is clearly “doing the right things” and “doing them well”, addressing issues of concern to its primary stakeholders. The main recommendation is that based on its past performance, BPD is a success and should continue. It is, however, in reality a “three-person organisation with an unequivocal statement of demand that far exceeds its current ability to deliver.” The Review team believe that BPD has come to a crucial junction and careful consideration of the next phase of BPD activity is clearly warranted. BPD staff have already begun to incorporate the findings into strategic discussions at BPD’s Board level.
