Case Studies - fiche techniques
Deepening our Understanding of Success
Discussions in Maastricht were assisted by a series of case studies. They were drawn from amongst the 174 Case Studies contained in the MCS Database (see Here). The 13 selected case studies were identified using a standardised criteria matrix that explored issues such as nature of impact, range of functions, scale and core activity.The case studies range from local to national in scale. None of the individual case studies were themselves based on the MFCAL Approach. Nonetheless, they all demonstrated different ways in which the approach can be used to help us understand the meaning and nature of success in diverse settings, scales and contexts.
Individual fiche techniques were produced for each Case Study summarising the most important elements of each example. These are all available below.
Further information on the Case Studies and the Fiche Techniques is available from Nadine Azzu at FAO (Mail Here)
