The following strategies may provide an appropriate basis for sound project planning:

• Build projects on the basis of lessons learned from previous UNDP projects in closely related fields.
• Focus consultations with experts and/or stakeholders to facilitate project conceptualization, focusing, planning and targeting.
• For innovative and ground-breaking programmes, begin small with pilot activities, drawing lessons and building on the basis of experience over time.
• Use a preparatory phase to facilitate the focusing of the project and to allow for broad-based consultations with stakeholders on design and on an implementation strategy for major projects to follow.
• Proactively identify a capacity gap, then hold carefully prepared and inclusive consultations to build involvement and partnership and to focus and clarify project design
