Lessons Learned
Lession #2: PAR need to be flexible
PAR’s failure to provide linkages/ coordination from one reform to anothers. All due to lack of ownership and guidance.
SEILA’s success due to process planning and donors’ willing to take risk

Lessons Learned
Lession #3: Need piloting and experiences
PAR lack of technical competency as a convenor
SEILA’s success built from piloting and experiences

Lessons Learned
Lession #4: Need integration
PAR and decentralization need to be integrated and harmonised. D&D must seen as one process, not two tiers govt.
