Lessons Identified

  • Institutional and leadership support from the Government are essential to sustain full and effective implementation of the TA. The central purpose of making performance evaluation an important tool for development, project management, and decision making should be properly understood by decision makers.
  • To implement a performance evaluation system and associated training in the People's Republic of China (PRC), appropriate consideration for the local language and understanding of the local culture and traditions are essential to facilitate faster dissemination of information and generate greater acceptance.
  • To establish a Technical Committee with a Chairman of equal rank with other technical committee members is not advisable in the PRC.
