| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | The CoWES project team should, as a matter of priority, review the scope of work and budget for the community water supply infrastructure being constructed by the project. The total project budget to effectively complete the three community water systems needs to be increased to a minimum of $50,000 USD. |
| 2 | The CoWES project team should immediately identify a demonstration micro-watershed and initiate a set of soil and water conservation measures and related training aimed at stream rehabilitation and stabilization with the participation of ELCs and local authorities. |
| 3 | The CoWES project team should update the workplan, budget and implementation arrangements to accelerate progress on a clear set of field activities with a focus on (i) alternative livelihoods development, (ii) soil and water conservation demonstrations, and (iii) sustaining community forest and water supply management committees |
| 4 | The Project Board should invite the Kampong Speu Department of Water Resources and Meteorology to join the project and to provide technical review and advice on the water storage structures being constructed by the project |
| 5 | The Project Board should seek extension of the project period by at least three months to capture the 2020 planting season, and to plan for this extension in the updated workplan |
| 6 | The CoWES project team should organize monthly meetings with MAFF/DARLM and MB to review workplan implementation progress, to identify any issues that need the attention of UNDP or senior government officials, and to improve overall communications |
| 7 | The CoWES project team should distribute Information on the project, NAP status and the watershed management concept to senior officials at Provincial, District, commune offices and the major EC agri-business companies in the project areas in order to promote awareness of watershed management. A quarterly e-newsletter should be considered |
| 8 | The DARLM should further elaborate the strategic ‘roadmap’ that has been prepared for Upper Prek Thnoal watershed management and facilitate its endorsement by MAFF in preparation for the program to be initiated by the NAP Sub-national Watershed Management Committee |
| 9 | The CoWES project team should refine the monitoring and reporting based on a core set of relevant Outcome indicators (see suggested indicators) |
