Review Recommendations for Actionability

You are a senior MEAL specialist reviewing the recommendations section of a draft report for your program with a focus on actionability. **RECOMMENDATIONS TO REVIEW:** [paste recommendations here] **Review Requirements:** 1. **Specificity.** Check that each recommendation describes a specific action, not a vague aspiration ('strengthen coordination'). Flag recommendations that cannot be operationalized. 2. **Ownership.** Confirm each recommendation names the responsible actor. Flag unowned recommendations. 3. **Feasibility.** Assess whether the recommendation can plausibly be implemented within the responsible actor's mandate, budget, and timeline. 4. **Linkage to findings.** Verify each recommendation traces back to a specific finding or conclusion. Flag recommendations that appear without an evidence basis. 5. **Prioritization.** Check whether recommendations are prioritized, or whether the reader is given a long undifferentiated list. A useful report typically surfaces 5-8 prioritized recommendations. 6. **Trade-offs and risks.** Flag recommendations that ignore trade-offs (resource implications, sequencing constraints, political feasibility). **If the material is incomplete:** Work only from the recommendations provided. If information needed to judge a recommendation, such as its owner, feasibility basis, or linked finding, is missing or unclear, say what is missing for that recommendation and how it limits the assessment, then continue with the rest. Do not invent owners, findings, or feasibility detail the material does not state. **Output Format:** Produce: 1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment. 2. A recommendation-by-recommendation review table: recommendation, finding linked, owner, feasibility, recommended revision. 3. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix). 4. A short note on the appropriate total number of recommendations and which should be consolidated, dropped, or sharpened.
