An exchange of experiences was facilitated through the organization of a dedicated global workshop17 in February 2018. As some benefits are not familiar to all audiences, a typology such as the one proposed in the Policy Guidance Note can be a useful tool to guide stakeholders in the identification of benefits: these can be economic benefits, social and environmental benefits, regional economic cooperation benefits, as well as peace and security benefits. The benefits are then screened, and the most important can then be selected for assessment, based on their magnitude and other policy-related criteria.
