Questions

The correct answer and its explanation are shown together here so you can check them at a glance - neither is ever shown to a learner attempting the quiz, right or wrong.

  1. 1. Why should a localisation exercise consult divisional secretariats directly?

    • It is a legal requirement
    • They hold local knowledge no national dataset carriesCorrect
    • It reduces the cost of the exercise
    • It replaces the need for hazard data

    Divisional secretariats know which roads actually flood and which measures were already tried - knowledge a desk exercise cannot recover on its own.

  2. 2. Why present a localised action's cost as a range rather than a single figure?

    • Ranges are required by the treasury
    • A single figure invites challenge the moment ground conditions differ from its assumptionCorrect
    • Ranges are easier to calculate
    • Single figures cannot be audited

    A cost presented as a bounded range, with its assumptions stated, survives scrutiny because it has already admitted where it could be wrong.

  3. 3. What usually happens to an adaptation submission asking for every action in one budget year?

    • It is approved in full more often
    • It is the easiest one to cut in fullCorrect
    • It automatically rolls over to next year
    • It receives priority processing

    A sequenced submission - a smaller first-year ask that unlocks a larger second one - survives a tight budget round better than an ambitious one submitted whole.

  4. 4. What is the most common reason a NAP action fails to reach the province responsible for it?

    • The action is technically infeasible
    • Nobody at the provincial level was told it existsCorrect
    • The province lacks any relevant staff
    • The action was written for a different country

    Most localisation failures are administrative, not technical - the action simply was never routed to a named owner.

Written questions

Optional - a lecture is complete without any. Add two-to-three sentence explanation questions where the multiple-choice quiz cannot tell whether an idea actually landed - as soon as one exists, a learner must pass it at 70%, the same platform-wide mark as the quiz, before the next lecture opens.

  1. 1. In two or three sentences: why does a localised plan need to report upward to the national NAP cycle, not just outward to the province it serves?

    upwarddisconnectvisibilitynational

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: A localised plan that only reports outward to its own province quietly disconnects from the national NAP cycle. Reporting upward too keeps the national plan's visibility of the delivery it depends on.

  2. 2. In two or three sentences: why does an indicator need to be assigned to a named post rather than a target alone?

    named postturnovertargetresponsible

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: A target with nobody named to report against it drifts unmeasured within a year. Monitoring survives staff turnover only when a specific named post, not a person, is made responsible for it.
