Results and Learning:
The workshop provided important information to the project by providing consensus on the main areas of focus for the project's assessment. The participants confirmed the following priority areas for capacity development: the water sector, agriculture, energy, and land use / forestry. Small group discussions also identified an additional priority area that had not been covered in initial PPCR discussions: human health. Good data on recent trends are needed in all sectors. The teams also included gender issues, education, and vulnerable groups as cross-cutting issues that should be included in the analysis.
Sustainability:
The project inception workshop was not related to sustainability considerations due to its one-time nature. However, many of the discussions focused on how to capitalize upon existing resources and knowledge strengths within Tajikistan in order to improve the sustainability of any recommendations resulting from the project activities.
Replication:
This type of workshop, particularly the format, would be suitable for other capacity assessment and/or training projects related to climate change adaptation.
