1. Why did you use this tool and what for?

I used this guide to train me to conduct workshops for participatory scenario development.

2. What changes resulted from using this tool?

This guide was necessary, because I did not know the existing tools to develop scenarios. Using this guide, I learned of existing methods and was able to choose the one that was best suited to local conditions of my study site. Then, I used a method from this guide on my pilot-site.

3. What worked well and what would you have done differently?

This guide gave me a first approach of the method to use in my territory. However, in order to conduct myself in a workshop scenario, I had to complete my "self-training" by testing workshops fictitious in order to understand the different steps of the method and to prepare myself the difficulties encountered during the scenario development workshop (questions asked by participants, time required for completion of each step ...).

4. Did you tailor this tool in any way to meet your specific needs?

In my local context, we were not able to go until the end of the process as described in the guide. Rather than stop the process, we adapted our work to local conditions. Instead of choosing a 5th scenario from four scenarios co-constructed, we have enriched our scenarios by submitting them to local stakeholders (+/- 100 people) in focus groups. We have deepened the analysis of each scenario to provide more detailed elements to local stakeholders.

5. Was it cost-effective? In terms of economic cost but also in terms of human resources and time.

The guide is very useful for understanding a process of scenario development: it is very concise and very cost effective in terms of training.
