different value chains.
ULPBuilding national and regional
policy dialogue
11. Lessons learnt from the Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships
1. The multi-stakeholder partnerships takes time to build trust and
confidence among partners of different backgrounds
2. Funding is also one of enabling factors without which a consortium will
work properly. Hence time should be allocated to resource mobilization.
Some consortia succeeded while others did not
3. Capacity of actors is important to make the MSP work. Inception
workshops, write-shops and other types of training are key for the
sustainability of the MSP. Capacity strengthening should go hand in hand
with communication.
12. Recommendations from the
end term review
• A possible no extra-cost extension:
• Documenting processes and disseminating the products to funders and
policy-makers and other stakeholders both nationally and internationally
• Completing the projects and sustaining the regional dialogues FO-Research
• Capitalising on the experience and assessing the impacts
• Specific training on Intellectual Property Rights in the context of stronger PPP
• Designing a new era through relevant analyses and a smooth transition
strategy:
• A new era of PAEPARD
