| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1. In future, UNDP should consider infusing LEP with poverty reduction programmes. |
| 2 | 2. Thailand, and other countries, could consider the establishment of a national mechanism or body with the requisite mandate, human and financial resources, such as the Prime Minister?s approval to delegate work to various ministries, to effectively drive the LEP agenda forward. |
| 3 | 3. Consider using LEP as a cross cutting approach and analytical tool to bring added value to existing UNDP Access to Justice programmes. |
| 4 | 4. LEP could be approached through UNDP?s MDG service line through the justiciability of economic, social and cultural rights relevant for achievement of the MDGs. |
| 5 | 5. Ensure that national and sub-national activities are completed and the pilot component tested for scaling up. |
| 6 | 6. The opportunity to assess the gender implications in the furtherance of the legal empowerment agenda in Thailand should not be missed, particularly in relation to national reform initiatives and the pilot project at the provincial level. |
| 7 | 7. Future DGTTF projects could provide due emphasis to gender by the inclusion of gender mainstreaming and analysis from the project inception stage through to its conclusion, including the use of disaggregated and gender sensitive indicators. |
| 8 | 8. UNDP Country Offices should take advantage of the resources at UNDP?s Regional Centres, especially if they are collocated. |
| 9 | 9. Coordination between UNDP Regional Centres and Country Offices should be more systematic. |
| 10 | 10. Consider linkages with sub-regional mechanisms in the future. |
| 11 | 11. UNDP Mongolia should seek to replicate some of the successful South-South mutual learning activities during its chairmanship of LEAP. |
| 12 | 12. Build upon the partnerships already created by LEPP. |
| 13 | 13. Continue to foster knowledge management and strengthen regional and global interventions by disseminating the lessons learned in the LEPP and distributing widely the lessons contained in ?Making Everyone Work for Legal Empowerment of the Poor: Report of the Regional Dialogue on Legal Empowerment of the Poor?, 3-5 March 2009, Bangkok. |
