October 2018 – December 2020
The purpose of the DFU was to engage with entities within and without government to build capabilities to deliver results.
Using the PDIA approach, the DFU convened seven teams of officials into a 6-month work program, focused on making visible progress on seven key problems (related to energy, agricultural exports, tourism, access to capital for SMEs, and the business climate).
In November 2018, the BSC team hosted a two-day workshop in Tegucigalpa with the teams to inaugurate the first six months of work. During the sessions, BSC guided the teams through defining their problem statements, breaking down the problems into root causes, identifying which roots to start tackling and which stakeholders to engage. Each team finished with a set of clear concrete next steps.
The teams then worked iteratively, week-by-week, under the coach-based tutelage of DFU and the BSC team, to progressively solve the many small problems that typically undermine policy success. The teams submitted weekly progress updates and had in-person check-in meetings with BSC every month. The regularity of this process creates tight feedback loops between plans and actions, which often lead to the emergence of new capabilities.
