Project: Strengthening women’s empowerment in municipal government
Evaluation Date: October 2011
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Consultation among implementing partners at project design stage and application of a less theoretical approach to project design might have mitigated the external risks threatening the delivery of the project.
It is vital to assess external risks and develop risk management plans for all projects at design stage. Depending on location, consider: the potential for natural disaster; political change, instability or hurdles; the capacity of partner organizations; and possible access restrictions on intended participants.

Lesson Learned:

The women in the project who worked in local government stated that the training had significant impact on them and that membership of the network helped them integrate what they had learned – and continued to learn – into their daily work.
At an individual level, women across the Pacific provided examples of follow-up training, briefings and actions they are taking regularly to promote understanding of the role of women in local government.
