Current status: Fieldwork: Consultations and fieldwork for project development completed by Nov 2009 Project document: Complete project document ready for submission to GEF Tracking tools: Tracking tools drafted, need final validation in countries Cofinancing: Some cofinancing letters still required Bottom line: Ready to submit when cofinancing is secured

  4. Constraints and challenges Tracking tools: Countries still have major problems understanding the tracking tools and collecting some of the information required FAO has helped them to complete the tools Cofinancing: Adequate cofinancing has been promised, but it has still been difficult to obtain some of the cofinancing letters. Some partners have indicated that they must get clearance from their headquarters (which will take time). FAO is working with partners to secure the cofinancing letters
