Catalytic impact: SAWEP provided key necessary information, knowledge, tools, and capacities for an enabling wind sector environment; however, as always, the catalytic impact is highly sensitive to the high-level decision makers and here SAWEP in come instance was highly successful (e.g. in including relevant Ministers on several occasions), in others not so (e.g. in getting involved in the key decision making processes leading to e.g. REFIT, PPA, etc.)
Lesson learned (process):Programme management (project manager, PMU, donor, etc.) has to keep trying to get key high-level decision makers on board,some times it succeeds, some times not, but that is not the key issue, the key is the continuous attempts with the multiple different techniques such attempts can use (inclusion in seminars, work groups, technical questions, working more closely together on e.g. less political issues, etc). SAWEP programme management did throughout project implementation continue to push for high-level inclusion
