Background

The DESIRE WB3 methodology was developed by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE), University of Bern, Switzerland and consists of three parts (work packages):

Part I: Stakeholder Workshop 1: Identification of existing and potential prevention and mitigation strategies (WP 3.1)

Part II: Assessment of Conservation Strategies: Assessment and documentation of existing and potential prevention and mitigation strategies (WP 3.2)

Part III: Stakeholder Workshop 2: Selection and decision on prevention and mitigation strategies to be implemented (WP 3.3)

The current report covers the analysis and synthesis of stakeholder workshops conducted in Part III (WP 3.3) of the WB3.

After having developed draft guidelines for WP 3.3, a training workshop was held in Bari, Italy from March 31 to April 3, 2008, in which representatives participated from all study sites except China, Crete, Nestos and Mexico (for more details see DESIRE Workshop and Meetings Report No. 18). After the training, the methodology was once more revised, and finalised (see DESIRE Manuals and Training Guides, Report No. 17).

The following is a compilation and analysis of the results from the 2^nd stakeholder workshops conducted in the DESIRE study sites. Workshop moderators were provided a template for workshop reports and had to document the results from the single exercises and the final workshop evaluation. These workshop reports are the data basis for this analysis, i.e. we did not consult additional material such as study site descriptions etc.
