Opportunities, Risks and Challenges
• Effective Synergies and partnerships, joint programs– Duplication of initiatives/ waist of resources (see
questions asked by member states tom LPI)– targeting same stakeholders– using same experts at country/ regional level– competing for same resources
• Institutional Capacities– Human Resources
• Resource Mobilisation
