Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Disparities among the participants regarding their basic knowledge on key-topics hindered the satisfactory implementation of some training sessions. Organizing trainees into more homogeneous groups by distinguishing different levels of training – basic, advanced – in topics such as national development and sectorial, as well as public finances and local governance could address the issue.

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The grantee in Morocco was very efficient in the operational follow-up of the project. Each external collaborator was expected to prepare a final report. Unfortunately, the quality of the reports showed serious discrepancies due to the lack of a standard template. This also limited the comparability of the results and the potential to further improve training and seminar quality.

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The capability of the CSOs to dialogue and to make themselves heard by political and legislative decision-makers remained limited, in particular at parliament level. Advocacy and lobbying activities among members of parliament supported by audio-visual tools, infographic sheets and properly written and formatted press releases could ensure better visibility and awareness.

Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Participation of civil society actors and of local government representatives in the capacity-building sessions exceeded the targets set however, the project failed to really mobilize women. Take into account that women face many obstacles to participate in political life, at the most basic level, they have limited access to transport.

Project: Engaging civil society and youth in public policy dialogue in North Africa
Evaluation Date: September 2015
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The project’s third outcome, the establishment of a regional advocacy network, was not achieved. The young participants were more engaged with designing and implementing specific projects at local level. This left them with little time or resources to engage in participatory policy development and broader advocacy. This reveals that some aspects of the training’s design – notably on advocacy campaigning and on cross-border networking – were not addressed in sufficient detail.
