  1. Proposal for CARPE Program Lessons Learned Initiative Led by IUCN By Kenneth ANGU ANGU/ David YANGGEN

  2. Context of CARPE Program Lessons Learned • The CARPE Program is implemented by a large number of institutional actors operating in widely dispersed and typically geographical remote areas of nine countries • This makes it very difficult for individual actors to both share the results of their activities as well as to learn from their experiences;

  3. Rationale for Lessons Learned • Provide a feedback mechanism to the program so that all the program’s actors can benefits from one another’s experiences and thereby improve their own interventions • Allow for non-CARPE partners to learn from the CARPE experience

  4. Rationale for Lessons Learned • Inform host governments of CARPE activities and support national institutions to carry on the work of the CARPE after the program ends • Encourage CARPE partners to engage in an analytical reflection concerning their own activities thereby promoting a process of learning and adaptation during the implementation of the CARPE program.

  5. Key Challenges to Implementing an Initiative of Lessons Learned • Human resources: most of CARPE’s partners are already heavily charged with work and adding an additional major task could prove overly burdensome; • However, using outside experts such as consultants or students may cost a lot of money and take a lot of time;

  6. Lessons learned are to be generated quickly and efficiently to provide feedback to the program itself; • Outsiders would take long time, be more costly and unlikely to provide high quality work as CARPE partners due to their general lack of intimate familiarity with the local context and individual programs.

  7. Overview of Proposed Lessons Learned Initiative • The proposed lessons learned program will attempt to harmonize the key constraints of human resources, money, time and quality • The proposed solution is a hybrid that uses both outside experts as well as CARPE partners

  8. Key Element of this proposal • Limited number of central thematic areas will be chosen for the analysis of lessons learned • Different institutions will each be asked to present a very brief case study for a small number of these thematic areas • Each thematic area will have three short case studies • An outside expert will then be invited to write an introduction for each thematic area, synthesize the lessons learned of the three case studies and generate some general conclusions and recommendations.

  9. In the case of the landscapes (CARPE IR1), six thematic areas are being proposed for case studies : • Landscape Land Use Planning • Protected Area Land Use Planning • Community Forest Land Use Planning • Forest Concession Land Use Planning • Stakeholder Engagement in the Process of Land Use Planning • The Role of Alternative Livelihood for Achieving a People-Centered Approach to Conservation.

  10. In order to reduce the human resource burden and increase the timeliness, the proposal is to address three of the six thematic areas in year one and the other three in year two; • As there are four institutions who act as landscape consortium leads, each of these institutions would be responsible for 1-2 of the case studies per year; • As each of the case studies is proposed to be only seven double spaced pages long (about 3 pages and a half), this would not constitute an overly burdensome additional work load for the landscape partners.

  11. Two proposed policy and governance (CARPE IR2) based case study sets are as follows: • The Promotion of a National Policy and Governance Agenda for Conservation • The Use of Small Grants to Build Civil Society Capacity to Support Conservation

  12. IUCN and the Focal Points will implement the two casestudies • For the National Policy and Governance, a minimum of four case studies would be presented in each of the four focal point presence countries (DRC, ROC, Gabon and Cameroon), with the inclusion of other CARPE countries to the degree feasible • In the case of the Small Grants, the proposed goal is to have a brief case study from each of the nine CARPE countries. They will be written by recipients and edited by the respective IUCN focal point or consultant for the country in question

  13. Case studies would be brief: about seven double spaced pages and would have an outside author to write an introduction, synthesis of lessons learned and recommendation section that ties each set of case studies together • There are, however, some cross-cutting lessons learned themes concerning monitoring (CARPE IR3) which do not necessarily lend themselves to a case study approach. These would then be stand alone lessons learned and each one slightly longer roughly 10-12 pages double spaced

  14. Candidates for these cross-cutting monitoring (IR3) lessons learned section are as follows: • Monitoring and Evaluation Method for the Global CARPE program (USAID) • Forest Concession Monitoring (WRI) • Satellite Mapping and GIS to support Large Scale Conservation (NASA/UMD)

  15. Summary of Advantages of Proposed Approach to Lessons Learned • Some key advantages of this proposed approach are as follows: • Allows CARPE partners to present their work but not burdensome in human resource requirements or financial cost • Allows timely generation of lessons learned: one half in by the end of the first year and the other half by the end of year two

  16. Structure allows multiple ways of presenting lessons learned: • stand alone case study documents, • stand alone thematic area documents and publication of a single document containing the ensemble of lessons learned; • Permitting shorter stand alone case study and thematic areas lessons learned will allow quicker production of results in the form of flyers or posted on the web sites.

  17. Proposal offers individuals and partner institutions the opportunity to author publications; • It covers the entire CARPE program, notably the three IR’s in a systematic manner; • It ensures harmonization of the structure of presenting lessons learned across the different component areas of the CARPE program (see below).

  18. Detailed Outline of Lessons Learned Reporting • The lessons learned would be both stand alone documents as well as compiled into a master document of lessons learned.

  19.
