ICZM Progress main results (1)

• First results confirm that questionaire is a
  legitimised exercise
• Conducted workshop used as a mechanism to
  transfer knowledge on ICZM? highly recommended.
  Linking ICZM with national planning system
• Use of Dont know really useful
• Most participants feel that 3 levels (Yes, No,
  Dont Know) not enough?They recommend to
  introduce a scale of 4 levels (started, advanced,
  completed and DK)
• Useful for National reports building a baseline
  in 2005

ICZM Progress main results (2)

• General trend of progress in all countries
• Results are linked with territorial organization
  of countries (more centralised, more federative)
  each country prioritize a number of actions
• More ICZM actions done at national, regional or
  local level depending on authority distribution.
• Some actions are unclear, difficult to
  understand? alternative writing to be done in
