In this section we offer an independent view of progress to date, informed by our assessment of CRGE documentation, interviews with local and international stakeholders, and the October 2012 workshop. We focus on the Green Economy Strategy, the first of two strategic components of the CRGE. We believe that the CRGE has been a highly strategic exercise that could now be in a position to benefit from expanding its perspectives, and ensuring good alignment with the Climate Resilience Strategy, the second component of the CRGE.
