Lesson
The importance of regular client meetings for fine-tuning of needs is a weak lesson since it is commonly known.

Lesson
The multi-stakeholder workshops held as part of this TA were crucial to building support and ownership of the consultant’srecommendations among the diverse group of stakeholders. Recognizing this, the consultants organized additional stakeholder workshops, beyond their initial terms of reference. This has led to likely sustainability of the TA outcome, as the different agencies have adopted recommendations from the report and implementation plans in the 14th FYP.

Project Name: Comprehensive Hub-oriented Transportation Strategy for Urumqi Metropolitan Area
Report Date:
Lesson
Effective transport and logistics planning require a multi-stakeholder approach, particularly in a central hub and trade location such as Urumqi. Therefore, capacity building and knowledge sharing needed to bridge across multiple departments and agencies outside of UCTRC and Urumqi city that usually do not work together or share plans and data. The use of participatory, multi-stakeholder workshops and training sessions enabled the consultants to gain stakeholder feedback and understand the priorities from government departments outside of UCTRC.
