- lessons_learned:
- description:
- Extremely complex and ambitious interventions need long-term processes and implementation schedules, at least 10 years. This is the case of the BW Programmes in Nicaragua, Haiti and Lesotho. Adding short term extensions or phases to the initial (short-term) projects only fosters short term planning, which negatively affects projects’ implementation and their sustainability prospects.
- context:
- BW Programmes in Nicaragua, Haiti and Lesotho presented some similarities, such as, strategic objectives, size of the industry, relevance of the United States (US) as a key trading partner, relevance of specific US trade policies in shaping the industry and similar challenges in terms of industry trajectories.
- success:
- The BW projects in Haiti and Nicaragua are taking steps to achieve sustainability. These include adapting activities to national contexts; developing close relationships with national actors and involving them in project activities; and strengthening national institutions.
- challenges:
- Adding short term extensions or phases to the initial (short-term) projects only fosters short term planning, which negatively affects projects’ implementation and their sustainability prospects.

- comments:
