| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ensure legislation and policies are effectively revised addressing MEAs obligations. |
| 2 | Finalize the guidelines for sustainable financing mechanisms. |
| 3 | Conduct a meeting of MEA high level staff to discuss combined reporting, monitoring and how it can be managed in the future. |
| 4 | The role of women in the management of natural resources in Fiji is critical. It is recommended to strengthen gender mainstreaming into all Rio Conventions and other MEAs related projects in Fiji |
| 5 | Having successfully mainstreamed the Rio Conventions into the policy and planning frameworks, it is important to realize that these gains remain fragile and will need to be supported, expanded and adapted for some time to come. The work to enhancing the capacity of relevant policy and institutional stakeholders to enable environmental indicator to monitor and assist with compliance to the three Rio Conventions and other MEAs in Fiji has just begun through this Project. It still at the early stages hence other UNDP and Government of Fiji initiatives and projects should continue working on the upgrading of the national capacity, the infrastructure, and project’s deliverables produced to ensure that the Country will build on the Project’s Objective and results |
| 6 | Mainstreaming Rio Convention in decision-making process capacity presently has limitations to meet the actual needs at the Country level. It is recommended to continue working on the upgrading of the national capacity in order to meet the needed demand created under the project. |
| 7 | The project does not have an Exit Strategy. To enhance project sustainability an exit strategy needs be created to inform participating stakeholders and beneficiaries of project closure and develops a comprehensive strategy to achieve the long-term goal. It is recommended that the project identified a roadmap for the way forward focusing on the critical milestones to be met in the future. This roadmap should also include the key achievements supported by the project. It would also help MoWE to keep this priority on its agenda for the years to come. |
| 8 | It is recommended that the project should organize a Terminal Meeting/Workshop inviting all known stakeholders and others who may have an interest in the project’s products, services and other benefits. At the Workshop, the DoE could outline the gains made by the project and seek an expression of interest from specific stakeholders for taking over and sustaining each gain. |
| 9 | Continue engaging stakeholders and supporting enhanced interagency communication at the national level. One of the successful results of the project was the forging of relationships between focal points as well as stakeholders |
| 10 | Promote a consistent approach from Rio Conventions (and MEAs generally) in their reporting and implementing process. |
| 11 | Continuously strengthen capacity building interventions, particularly with local stakeholders |
