Lesson Learned

Interventions to achieve policy reform should build in time for testing new approaches and incorporating lessons learned.

Interventions to achieve policy reform should build in time for testing new approaches and incorporating lessons learned. Passing the NTF policy took more time than anticipated, which had implications for the sequencing of follow-on activities. In addition, components of the levy system were not fully tested nor was there an opportunity to make modifications to the levy system during the Compact, when MCA-Namibia and MCC were available to provide support. Ensuring work plans build in a realistic amount of time to enact a policy, test/implement the policy, and incorporate lessons learned for continued implementation, needs to be a very important part of project design.
