The WOCAT database

Regarding the use of the WOCAT database the following comments have been made:

• Two study sites, Crete and Turkey - Karapinar, found that the current WOCAT database does not contain any or too few case studies which are relevant for their study site. Crete did therefore only include local options, whereas Karapinar maintained the external WOCAT technologies during the workshop. It is not clear why they did not work with the options identified in WS1 (see also table in annex).
• In both Russian study sites as well as in Turkey - Eskisehir the usefulness of the WOCAT database was doubted as participants consider the options found in the database to be from very underdeveloped countries and therefore not relevant for their context. Again, for the Turkish site it is surprising that the options identified in WS1 were not considered in WS2, although it is mentioned that these were applicable at limited scale only.
