Key Action Update History
Strategic stakeholder involvement
In a changing situation of governance and project oversight, review of stakeholders must take into account the role that each stakeholder was to fulfil during project design. By analysing the roles, it is crucial for effective project implementation to substitute as many players in order to fit the roles based upon which the project was designed
Management Response: [Added: 2018/12/27]
By practice and rule, UNDP undertakes a solid stakeholders’ analysis during project design and building on the identified roles and functions, clarifies their contribution towards successful implementation of the project.

1.1 During preparation of future projects, the E&E Cluster will consider the risk of changes in the governance structure and plan appropriate mitigation measures.

Energy and Environment Cluster Lead and Analyst | 2019/12 | Completed | The risk of change in the governance structure is well acknowledged in the current projects under preparation NAP2, Resilient Communities, etc) and appropriate measures are planned. History |
Monitoring of site visits
The monitoring and evaluation practises of UNDP-GEF projects would benefit from introducing a system for reporting on site visits. This would promote information exchange among the team members and project stakeholders and provide an effective way to track progress, underline obstacles and mobilize intervention, if required from UNDP and/or other stakeholders
Management Response: [Added: 2018/12/27]
By practice and rules, UNDP staff member are required to prepare site-visits reports and widely share the acquired information with relevant colleagues in the CO and projects.

2.1 The E&E Cluster will follow closely compliance with the UNDP rule regarding preparation of the site-visits reports.
[Added: 2018/12/27] [Last Updated: 2020/02/07] |
Energy and Environment Cluster Lead and Analyst | 2019/12 | Completed | Site visits are well documented, and information is included in the ongoing reports. History |
Communication
Communication strategies can be more effective if they encompass not only public awareness raising in a general sense, but provide a clear analysis and strategy (set of actions) for communicating project developments to key partners, stakeholders and interest groups
Management Response: [Added: 2018/12/27]
The recommendation will be broadly shared with the communication specialist for effective follow-up.

Energy and Environment Cluster Lead and Analyst | 2019/12 | Completed | The communication plans are developed as part of every UNDP project and are guided by solid analysis of stakeholders and key partners. History |
GIS-based planning
With further dissemination of the development of land management plans, the technical issues related to their elaboration are important. The issue of open data, which would allow municipalities access to data important for their planning is a significant one. Open data could make the process less costly and more general expertise. It would also be favourable to continue the current discussions around the technical aspect of the territorial and urbanization plans -- combined with open data, the introduction of GIS approach for planning could, in the long run, lower the costs of development and maintenance of management plans. This, however, would probably require change in legislation as well as initial support to increase the capacities of planners in GIS-based planning.
Management Response: [Added: 2018/12/27]
As this process is beyond UNDP’s control, UNDP will try to advocate for combining territorial planning with open data and GIS approach for planning

Replication of activities
Another result which was highly appreciated by interested parties and which should be further introduced in other territories, especially nature sites (Ramsar sites currently being formed and those protected areas planned in the future) is the development of passports, more detailed information and respective monitoring of species
Management Response: [Added: 2018/12/27]
Well noted. UNDP CO will advocate for replication of this approach on various occasions.

Final event
The project is planning a final seminar which is to include government officials, land planners. The seminar should be expanded, or the project should consider conducting a series of seminars to use the opportunity to strengthen the sustainability of the project and further disseminate the best practises. The evaluators suggest this may be especially useful in terms of involving people directly involved in enforcement, perhaps even developing a separate training event.
Management Response: [Added: 2018/12/27]
The project team organized several such events in November – December 2018, and during the future events will consider expansion of stakeholder’s profiles.
