Interim Report, No 3, 19 September 2011 – 18 March 2012 4. ASSUMPTIONS, RISKS, PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED We set out the assumptions and risks below and comment on how these issues might be addressed and any risks mitigated. We have revised some risks from Low to Medium, in response to the findings during and after the Inception Phase. Section 4.3 describes specific issues related to the project, occurred during the reporting period. 4.1 Assumptions • Institutional support and readiness of relevant authorities to engage in regional cooperation and resources made available for participation in RENA activities; • Beneficiaries will be willing to cooperate and give access to information in a transparent manner; • Relevant authorities will be willing to enable all stakeholders to take part in RENA’s activities and be able to allocate resources to implement the project; • Commitment of the project beneficiaries and partner institutions to apply the results; • A high level of involvement, cooperation and participation of all the stakeholders, including CSOs and IFIs; • Willingness of sectors within the public administrations of partner countries to cooperate with their colleagues in other sectors, like environment; • High level of institutional stability without major shifts in responsibilities of ministries and other institutes, or shifts of key staff involved in the project implementation. We share the assumptions in the ToR, that successful implementation of the project is based on the pre-conditions listed in the table below: Table 6. Assumptions affecting the implementation of the Project Assumption Institutional support and readiness of relevant authorities to engage in regional cooperation and resources made available for participation in RENA activities Beneficiaries will be willing to cooperate and give access to information in a transparent manner Relevant authorities will be willing to enable all stakeholders to take part in RENA’s activities and be able to allocate resources to Observations/Comments Political commitment by the beneficiary countries has been provided since the beginning of the project. Nominated national Focal Points posses sufficient authority in their country’s administration to serve as a hinge between RENA and the country, and to promote the internal country discussions on RENA issues and involvement of staff in RENA activities. Political support from the Environment Ministers is long-standing and evident. Commitment to build on and use the project outputs is equally important. Reports should generate actual changes in the administration and processes in the countries Cooperation, data availability and the timely access to these data are highly important to proceed with network activities according to planning and to provide quality outputs. Since the beginning of the project a number of background documents have been provided and extensive meetings were held with the beneficiary institutions. Beneficiary country governments have shown their incontestable willingness to participate in RENA. So have environmental CSOs from the region through a Joint Statement in June 2009 to the RENA Ministerial Meeting (still to be discussed at that meeting). For donors and international organisation cooperation with RENA presents the continuation of their roles Human Dynamics Consortium 68
