  17. What are the advantages of this Mechanism? Allows countries to express their actual priorities Encourages countries to identify and share experiences of success and failure, and learn from them

  18. What are the advantages of this Mechanism? All participating countries can simultaneously be the “sharer” and the “shared with.” Not only the country soliciting assistance receives a better understanding of the lessons learned, but the coordinating country is also able to reflect upon its own evolution process. By so doing, countries can incorporate the useful technique of self-assessment into their institutional functioning.
