| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | It is recommended to use the project results to advocate for further work on a full set of environmental management indicators and to develop a compliance monitoring system |
| 2 | Conduct a meeting of MEA high level staff to discuss combined reporting and compliance monitoring and how it can be managed in the future. |
| 3 | It is recommended to strengthen gender segregation of data collection and monitoring and promotes the MEAs reporting also is gender disaggregated |
| 4 | Mechanisms should be put in place to facilitate the transfer and/or internalization of capacities built by the project. |
| 5 | To enhance project sustainability an exit strategy needs to be elaborated 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. It is recommended that the project organize a Terminal Meeting/Workshop invites all known stakeholders and others who may have an interest in the project’s products, services and other benefits |
| 6 | The Project described a number of projects/initiatives with which CB2 project could develop synergy and linkages. Synergy and linkages with other projects and initiatives should be proactively sought and developed. |
| 7 | Partnership development with other related initiatives (such as the LDCF1) is very crucial to ensure that Kiribati has an enhanced capacity of relevant institutions and stakeholder to enable monitor and compliance with the Rio Conventions and other MEAs. Involve key actors and sectors in designing and implementing follow-up initiatives |
| 8 | It is recommended that all activities to prepare convention reports use this EMIS platform. It includes the GEF funded enabling activities and funding from other donors to prepare convention reports. The use of the EMIS will reinforce and demonstrate the usefulness and consolidate the portal. |
| 9 | The TE recommends evaluate options for ongoing capacity support for Kiribati to ensure that momentum is maintained in the area of capacity building for reporting under the Rio Conventions. It is also recommended elaborate an overall assessment of Pacific CB2 projects to identify common issues and constraints and share lessons learned with country partners. Many of the CB2 projects at the regional level have a similar focus and had developed sets of tools, frameworks, legislation, and training manuals and materials. Countries could benefit from these developed materials and hence knowledge sharing between countries and south-south cooperation are very much recommended. |
| 10 | Continue engaging stakeholders and supporting enhanced inter-agency communication at the national level. Active participation of all Ministries and local level stakeholders should continue to be encouraged after the project ends to ensure, in particular that the momentum gained be maintained and supported. Additionally, awareness raising activities should be expanded to the general population |
| 11 | It is recommended to build partnerships with the academic community to enhance use of the EMIS data and collaborate to improve the system. Identify and participate, as relevant and appropriate, in scientific, policy-based and/or any other networks, which may be of benefit to project sustainability |
