Lesson Learned:

All beneficiaries received a sound theoretical foundation and had the opportunity to combine this with practical experience such as participation in court hearings, and exchanges with the judges of the court and public defenders from other countries of the region. These activities enriched their professional experience and gave them better tools for appearing before the court. The quality of the assistance offered by the grantee’s technical team, as well as the academic level of the publications and course materials, contributed to the effectiveness of the activities.

Project: Empowerment of Shanty Towns’ Settlers through Democratic Spaces
Evaluation Date: September 2011
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The project did not emphasise enough fundamental rights. It also could have done more to institutionalize opportunities for local engagement. The benefiting populations need greater opportunities for dialogue with local decision makers and for participation in negotiating venues. It is important that the community centres gain official representation so that they can be full-fledged partners in decision-making bodies.
