Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2006

 

Lessons Learned from Evaluation

 
           
  An independent evaluation of the five-year Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) project was carried out on behalf of UNEP in the first half of 2006. This report describes the evaluation approach and findings.     In order to enhance the quality of lessons, improve their utilisation and to aid their dissemination and communication, a Framework of Lessons from Evaluation is presented in this paper.  
Lesson Learned
"Capacity building as an integral component of research can make the difference between the real life utilization of research outcomes and their incarceration among a peer group of fellow researchers."
