During the first phase of implementation of a PEI programme, country-specific evidence is gathered to identify priorities and develop arguments to influence policy processes. Country-specific evidence is mainly developed through ecosystem assessments and economic analysis.
A number of reviews, methodologies, tools and examples from countries can be used as reference.
