This report has been prepared to evaluate the experiences and lessons learned from the first round of Habitat Country Programme Documents, so as to establish an informed and substantive base for the agency when considering and taking decisions on a second phase. The report also presents a number of recommendations on these aspects, as well as on the matters of process when embarking on preparing the next round of HCPDs. Finally, the report suggests a modified template to assist in the preparation of the next round of Habitat Country Programme Documents.
