It should also analyze the development of the sector through analytical case studies considering identification of key stages / patterns in sector development, main actors, institutions and their role, action plans and policy framework; action plans implemented that contributed to sector development; sector SWOT analysis and lessons learned; critical factors and indicators for sector development. The Survey should include sequences of how organizations and countries have organized themselves, elaborating on the methods used and reflecting on what they would do differently.
