An international expert team will carry out a lessons learnt mission in “Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in Central Vietnam” (SMNR-CV), Quang Binh as well as in RDDL, Dak Lak. from 31.8. to 8.9. 2009.

Both projects have been supported by GTZ over the last 6 years and will be phased out by the end of 2009, or early 2010 respectively. Since both have similar objectives and project concepts, the objective of this mission is the documentation of the “lessons learnt” of the two projects in terms of concept development and implementation results. The mission will take into account experience of counterpart government agencies, target groups and intermediaries, as well as socio-economic, political, institutional, and natural environment, under which the projects were designed and operate.

Based on the above-mentioned broad project components, the mission will identify “good practices” in each of the work areas and extract from these “products” which are in compliance with international quality standards of development cooperation.
