Since the first TNA meeting organized on January 31,2011 already came up with certain agreements on the modalities for conducting TNA in five targeted project countries including Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia and Nepal, this second TNA meeting aimed at : (i) Reviewing the process of conducting TNA in the five countries by the national partners, (ii) Discussing the advantages, constraints, challenges and other issues practically faced by the national partners in conducting the TNA, and (iii) Finding out the solutions to overcome and the ways forward to continue detailed TNA. Subsequent to this meeting, training modules will be drafted in a module design workshop tentatively planned for August 2011 which will be pilot tested and scaled-up to other countries and sectors in collaboration with various Network partners. The participants at the meeting included the project partners from the five countries mentioned above, APAN and IGES, UNEP-ROAP and AIT-UNEP RRC.AP.
