The following persons were engaged in various capacities at different stages of the paper. The core FAO study team were closely involved in selecting projects and in developing principles, hypothesis and indicators by which to analyse and evaluate them. The extended FAO study team took part in brainstorming sessions in the initial stages of the project designed to develop and categorise principles according to their importance to the SLA, and to elaborate a set of hypotheses to allow the consultants to analyse and evaluate case studies. Workshop participants provided valuable input on the progress of the paper so far and suggested areas for further study. Interviewees were contacted in order to gain more in-depth information on projects they had worked on, to review case study summaries compiled by the consultants, and to seek other case studies of potential relevance to the study.
We wish to thank all those who took the time to speak or write to us, or to attend brainstorming sessions and workshops, and for the important contributions they have made to this paper.
