Timing of Case Study Scenarios - same timing (Month 15), does not provide learning opportunity or transfer of best practices from one case study to another (as per text p. 32) Type of Deliverable (3.3 – Learning Outcome Evaluation), eg: possible manuel for multi-stakeholders engagement in sustainable coastal management Partner consultations on best comparable evaluation methodologies - brainstorming/planning meeting, 4 Q. 2009
