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). **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.
