- Projects need to be encouraged to develop 'baselines' in order to reflect and track better impacts by projects in terms of livelihood benefits and increased incomes for the "communities of practice."

- Timely, focussed and need-based continuous interactions directed at capacity building of self, experts and communities. This leading to enhance skills and capabilities of locals, experts and related stakeholders.

- Involving students and educational institutions as a strategy to increase awareness, knowledge and impacts from projects to district collector and related officials for small grassroot CBO's and NGO's.

- Promoting the sharing of technologies, processes and successes between partners and related stakeholders through exposure visits, mutual exprience sharing meetings and discussions.

- Encourage all, including the national host institution (NHI) to be self-critical, open and reflective to learn, discuss and share the impacts, results and concerns. Find ways to define the results in a more quantitative and qualitative way within a given time-frame (QQT) to show results effectively and efficiently.

- Figures of 'baseline resource mapping' need to be compared with those at the end of the project period to establish the benefits to communities.

- Understand through the use of local knowledge, participatory and methodologies the crucial needs of the communities and their substantial interest in meeting effectively.

- Focus in strengthening the 'local institutionalization processes' to make communities become active partners in the decision-making implementations and monitoring of the programs. Linking the local kinship based institutions to banks, local government for resources and replication of the actions.

- Encourage partners to address the issues of global environment importance. Quantify the environment benefits to climate change, land degradation and local biodiversity while addressing the local livelihoods and empowerment concerns in projects i.e. how much carbon emissions are checked or the number of hectares of wastelands developed into productive cultivation.

- Flexible approach in terms of actions both at the program level abd at the implementation level through the partners i.e. NBGO's and CBO's.

- Sensitive to the abilities of farmers to identify and and adopt low-cost responsive technologies e.g. integrated pest management (IPM) technologies using pheromone traps; intercropping NPV use in addressing the minimal or no use of pesticides.

- Ensure that projects quantify local co-financing, both in cash and kind from communities, NGO/CBO partners leading to sustainability and better ownerships. Co-financing is also achieved qualitatively in terms of solidarity in ideas and advocacy of program benefits.

- Encourage youth, individuals and organisations, which have tremendous energy and iniative, to get involved in a number of ways. Engage in public advocacy, contribute to policy design, enable good governance and transparancy.
