comments:

Whenever possible, allow for sufficient implementation time to effective pilot and lean-by-doing; adjust expectation level for realistic output level and outcomes.

challenges:

With the limited time-frame at hand the project management team has focused very much on introducing innovative approaches, with a focus on capacity building and knowledge transfer to local stakeholders, which has facilitated learning in a very condensed period.

success:

The project design did not allow for a longer implementation period in which approaches could be changed, altered or adapted, based on beneficiary feedback or general lessons learnt along the way. There was just no time to improve and try out, as implementation had to be effective straight away. The limited project period made it difficult to hire capable technical staff in the thematic fields of REDD+, as they mostly prefer engagement with longer-term projects.

context:

The project formulation process did not allow GLACIER to have access to more time to implement its activities. The project focus was put on piloting/experimenting, with the understanding that the limited time would make it difficult to make much lasting impact through outputs.

description:

The limited time-frame of GLACIER has put the PM team under continuous pressure and reduced the opportunity to learn-by-doing (which includes failure): learning requires sufficient time and future project design should allow for a temporal set-up with the opportunity to adjust implementation approaches along the way. Targeted Users: Beneficiaries are the local communities, local stakeholders and national stakeholders, who all had limited exposure to the project piloting due to its short period.
