As shown in Table 2, some of the priorities identified by the PDP for action were still
on the list of priority issues identified the residents in the 2006 study. Curiously, some
these issues were not covered by the actions undertaken within the PDP while some
unidentified provisions were made by the project.

This section presents key lessons from the field study on the actions conducted by the
PDP, with each paragraph tackling an issue that is followed by a description of the
approach and/or action adopted by the implementing agency following by the lesson
that could be drawn regarding the implemented approach.
