Lessons Identified

• Familiarity with local conditions and practices can contribute to effective delivery of seminars/workshops/training. Training should provide for interactive discussions and hands-on practice cases using local problems and experiences. Classroom interpretation is also important for training effectiveness. Care taken in translating materials and procuring the service of a skilled interpreter may not avoid inefficiency in classroom delivery and comprehension.
• Benefits in learning should match resources spent, and be evaluated against the TA objectives for training and learning.
• Changes in national processes for monitoring and evaluation require institutional and leadership support at all levels of participating agencies.
