Case Examples

Case examples are selected to illustrate specific issues and provide insights for project design and development. The goal is to include sufficient information to highlight lessons while allowing the practitioner to judge whether these lessons would apply to another context. When available, the conditions necessary for successful implementation are included.

Information is either in an abbreviated form which only includes a brief description and a key source of information, or in a more complete form which includes lessons learned and ‘tips’. Direct contributions from users are encouraged and specifically noted.
