The document outlines a replication strategy for nutrient pollution control in the Danube-Black Sea basin, highlighting the need for an integrated approach to enhance the transfer of successful demonstration projects across eligible countries. It emphasizes the development of a web-based ICT platform for project management and dissemination, the establishment of local/national project replication groups, and effective communication strategies to build public support. Additionally, it proposes a scoring system to evaluate the replicability of projects while ensuring stakeholder involvement and partnerships.
The Replication Component (Guglielmi)
- 1. The Replication Component INFO/RAC-MAP 6° Regional Conference on Integrated Nutrient Pollution Control in the Danube – Black Sea Basin 23-25 October 2007 Hilton Ankara
- 2. Replication Strategy Outline Why a Replication Strategy? • Mediterranean has negative track record in replication initiatives; • Strong need for a tool to maximize the chances of ‘regional transfer’ of demonstration and pilot projects; • Not all projects can be implemented in every eligible country; • A choice of countries and sites has to be made for each activity; • Need of innovative approach for enhancing the potential for the replication of successful demonstrations; • Not addressing replicability as a separate element but conceive it as an integral part of the project; • Complexity and wide spectrum of component activities suggested and design of a number of different phases:
- 3. Replication Strategy Outline Project Replication Team (PRT) Main functions: • every demonstration and pilot project has a valid replication component (or strategy) from the initial stage of concept design; • facilitate, coordinate and guide the replication process in all stages; • monitor progress, risk assessment and expected benefits and impacts; • apply feedback and project adjustments as needed
- 4. Replication Strategy Outline Developing an ICT Platform PRT develops methodology following IW-LEARN principles, collate, record and manage information on a common web based platform (web portal); ICT platform includes info on project management, nature, type, geographical area and size, overall design and structure, financing and support mechanisms, sustainability strategy, actors/stakeholders and sectors involved, management approach and governance structure; ICT platform linked to project and sub-project websites and managed in a shared Intranet Website/Web Portal environment; Serve as permanent forum for sharing opinions and ideas, and strengthen the project monitoring and evaluation process.
- 5. Replication Strategy Outline Info analysis, selection of PMAs & dissemination Information extracted from local context and placed in a macro- scale Mediterranean “arena” to identify potentially matching areas (PMAs); Identification of Potentially Matching Areas (PMAs), including physical, geographical, environmental and socio-economical characteristics; Identification and outline of Potential Replication Projects (PRPs);
- 6. Replication Strategy Outline Dissemination mechanisms & partnerships 2 Replication Meetings (RMs) held in conjunction with Project Steering Committee meetings; Permanent reference Mediterranean network including MoE, institutes, associations and environmental communication in Med. countries; Select & adapt key content of project activities making them appealing, and understandable to selected audiences; User-friendly access of the public to all unrestricted info, data and products prepared within the framework of the project; Identification of existing successful media/public information campaigns and implementation of strategies to introduce key SP project messages.
- 7. Replication Strategy Outline Replication Scoring System Methodology to be developed by PRT to objectively evaluate and score potential replicability; Scoring system to provide overall evaluation of the likelihood of successful replication in alternative sites and context; A complete list of scored PRPs to be compiled by PRT; Scoring systems adapted to simplify and communicate complex environmental information to the general public. .
- 8. Replication Strategy Outline Initial facilitation of on-site project development Promoting the establishment of Local/National Project Replication Groups (LPRGs) to act as interfaces and focal points; Exchange of experiences with community-based interest groups involved in PRPs; Working partnerships and cooperation among key stakeholders and interested groups for PRPs implementation; Communication/awareness building strategies for promoting public support for projects at local, national and regional levels.
- 9. Info & Comms Strategy Outline Main Planned Activities Design & preparation of an IC campaign, information material (brochure, leaflets, etc); Design, production and updating of on line Med SP LME magazine; Participation to selected national/internatonal events; Planning of an "ad hoc" audiovisual campaign for wide media dissemination.
- 10. Replicating the Nutrients Reduction Danube/BS Project Successful Principles and Approaches • Clear and measurable goals and objectives • Partnership and Participatory Approach • Inter-ministerial partnership/cooperation • Community based approach • Tangible, visible and quick results • Local administration and NGOs involvement • Villagers/stakeholders commitment • National investments with Transboundary benefits • Leverage of loans, private sector/national funds
