Initially, the participants identified a number of issues and challenges that have constrained efforts to promote the sustainability of RPOs. These issues manifest themselves at three major stages in the project cycle: (1) Project design; (2) Capacity building and Project implementation; and (3) Project monitoring and evaluation.
