Rich stakeholder sharing at "Lessons Learned Workshop"

On February 16th 2017, stakeholders involved on five Subcommittees of the “Improving Forest and Protected Area Management in Trinidad and Tobago” project assembled at the PETROTRIN Staff Club in Pointe a Pierre to participate in a Lessons Learned Workshop, a few months shy of the project’s mid-term.  This all-day exercise served to facilitate the exchange of experiences and viewpoints among stakeholders in the process of project implementation and progress made towards the development of recommendations for the management of six pilot protected areas of focus in this project.

Over forty persons attended the Workshop and contributed to discussions that reviewed: the composition of the Subcommittees; the governance of Subcommittees; how priority and emerging issues were managed; decision-making on boundaries and levels of protection; and drafting of conservation objectives for protected areas.

In a post-workshop evaluation exercise, Subcommittee members shared that the exercise was useful in understanding that there were some common challenges facing each team and the potential existed for “cross pollination” among teams to assist in the way forward in the project.
