The sponsoring organization should also consider at this stage the creation of some kind of quality control advisory body to meet periodically to review project progress, particularly at the two planned major workshops and at the stage of final outputs and policy recommendations. Such a body could well contain a combination of country experts, experts in the range of disciplines required, or in the ecosystem being addressed, or in the more general issue of sustainable livelihoods, poverty reduction and empowerment.
