Lessons Identified

The training experience provided timewise was inadequate and should require at least four weeks to be done properly.
There was a need for a more organized program with more attention to developing an overview of post-evaluation systems and developing specific skills such as interview techniques during the first week of the course.
The strategy for strengthening post-evaluation capabilities should be given more attention with more involvement from the senior personnel in the program.
Knowledge of the longer term development impact and sustainability of the programs and projects can help decision-makers develop policies and institutions necessary to achieve development objectives.
