| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | An exit strategy and sustainability plan need to be developed in close consultation with the project stakeholders before the project closure. |
| 2 | Explore the possibility of initiating community-led projects, such as through UNDP/ GEF Small Grants Program, to continue and strengthen some of the promising sustainable livelihood and community-based SLM interventions initiated through the project but requires more support for consolidation and larger impact. |
| 3 | On-farm SLM demonstrations should consider integrating participatory and group-based on-farm learning process such as Farmer Field School (FFS), which are known to be successful in farmer-to-farmer exchange of knowledge, skills and experience, and in enhancing community uptake of introduced technology. |
| 4 | Continue dialogue and advocacy with ELC-holding agribusinesses for collaboration on a longer term based on PPP model, building on the short-term cooperative agreement and collaborative experience initiated through this project. |
| 5 | Pursue and initiate PES schemes as a sustainable financing and environmental governance mechanism for ecosystem services, building on the ecosystem valuation done by the project. |
| 6 | Consolidate CF/ CPA activities and explore opportunities to link with REDD+ initiatives, learning from other CFs and CPAs that have successfully linked with REDD+. |
| 7 | Where possible, link management of CF/ CPAs to improved conditions of catchment area/ source of local water supply systems to demonstrate the importance of landscape conservation approach and the inter-linkage between community development and conservation objectives. |
| 8 | All knowledge and information generated by various consulting work done under the project need to be consolidated and documented systematically as ready references and basis for decision-making and planning future SLM and watershed management interventions. |
