Lessons Learned from the Inception Phase of the GEF Pacific IWRM
This document contains: 1) an analysis of lessons learned throughout the inception phase of the GEF Pacific IWRM Project; 2) an overview of the procedures established for the internal peer review of lessons learned reporting; and 3) recommendations for the intra-project sharing of these lessons during the projectâs implementation phase. Options for continued knowledge exchange and learning are provided for discussion by the Committee. The analysis indicated that project staff feel they have had the most difficulty with capacity issues and project management and the most success with stakeholder engagement. The analysis also showed that nearly half of the reports submitted to-date were not of an acceptable quality to be shared regionally as lessons learned. A peer review process was launched in order to build reporting capacity and improve quality of reports submitted. The RSC is invited to agree on the next steps for the lessons learned, particularly in terms of the most appropriate ways to share the lessons with other IWRM practitioners.
