Directorate for the Environment and Quality of Life; Ministry of
Public Works and Housing; Meteorological Institute; INSTM;
DGSAM; to be completed
How was implementation organized? What technologies were
used?
Kick-off meeting
Consultation meetings with stakeholders involved, data
collection, submission of draft document for review and
comment by the ministries and technical departments involved,
meeting to present the first phase draft document of the
strategy to finalize the current status review.
Approval by all partners of the first phase document and second
phase launched with a workshop involving the entire COPIL.
Building a trust relationship between members and the COPIL
and APAL
Willingness to integrate the experimental project and to keep on
forming part of the project even in the implementation phases
The Ministry of Environment was not convinced of the necessity
of this strategy
The first phase of the strategy has led to the formulation of a
vulnerability matrix that points out vulnerable areas according
to the natural environment in coastal areas and islands. This
allowed the small technical committee to identify two areas
considered as highly vulnerable for which a CC adaptation
mainstreamed ICZM Plan should be formulated. These plans will
be implemented in the context of other APAL initiatives currently
underway.
Note: This example is fairly synthetic, for illustration purposes. In a real situation, the presentation should be more detailed.
Reminder: For each axis: it is necessary to identify the sources of information and choose the appropriate collection
tools. One can thus combine individual interviews with project staff, focus group discussions or interviews with the local
community, etc.
