The main findings stemming from the self-assessment survey are presented under eight Key Topics. The choice of the Key Topics followed three main criteria: (1) to be informative and succinct. To communicate the results of the self-assessment survey in an effective way, these have been clustered and presented under a number of overarching headings; (2) to be useful to policy-makers and practitioners, the Key Topics had to match their interests in relation to the main steps of the policy-making process. Therefore the sequence of Key Topics follows broadly a policy-cycle framework, from formulation and framing of policies to planning, implementation, and monitoring; and (3) for ease of reading and to facilitate the comprehension of important findings, the Key Topics had to be in themselves distinct with limited overlaps, whilst linking together and jointly providing a basis for future adaptation actions. Discussion rounds among the writing team and authors of this report were held to come to the final selection of Key Topics.
