Attempted Answers to Guiding Questions Q1: One critical lessons learned: what works and what doesn’t Do not declare victory too early or accept defeat too soon Repeated use of computer aided planning is extremely valuable because the knowledge gained is fed back into the tool making it more powerful Q2: One challenge on which I would like to hear others’ experiences Critical success factors and the key reasons for failures Q3: One recommendation for SIDS Show signs of life for achieving success Q4: One recommendation or political statement the high-level political forum could make Pay more attention to value provided and not just to volume (no of partners, no of people involved), etc Q5: One issue for further discussion in UN forums What are the recurring problems & barriers to UN Initiatives (e.g., MDGs, SDGs)
