The Alliance started in January 2006 and it is high time to take a look at the achievements and results as well as identify directions for the years to come. During 2008 a so called 'soft review' was commissioned by the Alliance to provide some external assessment of the Alliance work so far, however it was agreed with Sida that a more independent evaluation was needed and to be undertaken in 2011. To this end the Alliance engaged the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) to undertake an evaluation of the Alliance in October 2011.

Local partners of the Wetlands Alliance and their local communities in Northeast Cambodia, in Kratie and Stung Treng, have organized a community produced media (CPM) team, which is supported and backstopped by the WorldFish Center. The teams were established in 2010 and consist of Salaphoum researchers and local NGO partner staff. The teams believe that CPM can play a very important role in documenting experiences of local issues such as climate change to disseminate their stories to a wider audience. The CMP teams in Stung Treng and Kratie are coordinated by the Culture and Environment Preservation Association (CEPA) and the Community Economic Development (CED) respectively, have been trained to produce their own films. However, they recently made a request to WorldFish Center for more support in the planning of participatory videos.
