In this Section you will learn about….
 What are thematic or synthesis reports?
 A process for developing thematic or synthesis
reports
 Advice from the field

+
Thematic Reports
The main source of supporting information for
the TDA will be thematic (synthesis) or national
reports
These are likely to be drafted by selected
consultants or national experts from the TDA
development team with each report using a
similar structure

+ Process for developing thematic
reports
Step 1: Identification
of the key areas for
reporting and
appropriate national
experts to develop
the reports
Step 2: Report
development and
review

+ Step 1: Identification of key areas and
national experts
 The Project Manager and TDA Development
Team will need to identify the key areas for
reporting, based on the prioritised
transboundary problems, their impacts and
causes
 In addition, they will also need to identify
suitable candidates to develop each report.

+ Step 1: Identification of key areas and
national experts
 Candidates could be members of the
Development Team or recommended by the
Development Team
 Terms of Reference (ToR) for each Report will
need to de developed and it is recommended
that each ToR and report use a similar structure.

+ Step 2: Report development and
review
 Based on ToR content list
 Regular reporting back during the report
development phase
 Meeting or workshop to enable the TDA
development team to:
 Review and comment on the draft thematic reports
 Make suggestions for improvement
 Accept the reports as concrete inputs to the next
phase of the TDA development, if appropriate.

Advice from the Field…..
Do not underestimate the time needed to develop thematic
reports – It is likely that they will use up more time than is
expected. The National experts will work at different speeds –
some will complete the task in the allotted time. Others won’t.
Expertise – Ensure you have examined all possible avenues to
identify national experts. Getting the right people is critical.
ToRs – Ensure the ToRs are well defined and fit for purpose.
This will make the process easier to manage.
