L e s s o n s L e a r n t

• Difficulty in getting full community commitment in some areas without an immediate benefit in sight

• Contractors difficult to manage as contracts generally lack penalties for defaults – provisions are generally for agreeable settlements

• Budget estimates require a wider market survey and consideration of currency fluctuations

• There is generally the habit of price inflations by vendors

• Field activities, e.g. construction works, are better managed outside the rainy season

S u c c e s s S t o r i e s • There was great passion and appreciation of the

mangrove restoration exercise by the oyster collectors

• The training on building of culture racks as an environmentally friendly oyster collection technique was highly received

• The supply of 28 pirogues to oyster collectors is expected to have significant positive impact on the livelihoods of the women

• The adoption at the national level of the study report on integrated coastal area management will enhance coastal area management if finally implemented
