Collaborative arrangements with related projects The project will collaborate with the Saint Lucia Small Grants (GEF- SGP) Programme (SGP) and PPCR projects such as the Saint Lucia Forest Restoration and Rehabilitation Project, both being implemented country wide, and with strong linkages to the issues being addressed in the NE Iyanola region. These will provide opportunities for productive finance and technical support for community level activities in terms of investment in sustainable/climate resilient livelihood practices, while the project will help to mainstream sustainability issues into the operations of these projects in the Iyanola region, and will help them to identify potential beneficiaries. Several meetings have taken place already to strategize a possible sub-focus on the NE Coast as a possible consideration for SGP programming prioritization. The $27M Saint Lucia Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) & DVRP: is being developed as targeted programming for different types of vulnerable groups. Elements of relevance and cooperation to the proposed GEF project include discrete targeted land use planning, enhancement and application of the St. Lucian GIS system, enhancing use of the Geonode system, slope stabilization and watershed management to increase resilience, building bridges and roads in accordance with international best practice and building codes. Section 5:Stakeholder participation A Stakeholder analysis conducted during project design identified the range of individuals, groups, or institutions which have an interest or "stake" in the outcome of the Project or will be potentially affected by it. There are very many stakeholders in Iyanola who will be impacted upon or will impact the project. In addition to these stakeholders who are from the area itself or who create livelihoods in the area, there are a number of public sector agencies and international agencies who also have a stake in Iyanola. Stakeholder mapping also provided knowledge of all the stakeholders in the communities within the project site and who use the natural resources within the site; all those from outside of the site but
