Project: Women in Politics in Mozambique
Evaluation Date: December 2011
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Project efficiency was undermined by the weak integration of management among the project partner organizations, and the limited organizational and managerial capacities of the provincial implementing agencies. There were also major human resource challenges which were not addressed satisfactorily. For these reasons and others, the deployment of human and financial resources was not always optimal in supporting the achievement of results.

Project: Human Rights Education for the Police
Evaluation Date: May 2012
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Although the line authority for higher education in Kazakhstan did not veto the objectives nor the timeline for activities during the project’s initial consultations, whether human rights training will become a mandatory discipline for Kazakhstan’s police academies was still vague at the time of the evaluation. The grantee should have maintained an ongoing communication and coordination with the Ministry of Education to secure its approval.

Project: Building Democratic Spaces in Egypt
Evaluation Date: March 2011
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

While members of a number of those groups listed as stakeholders – political parties, trade unions – and beneficiaries participated in project activities, no effort was made by the project team to engage with them on a continuing or consistent basis. The design of all activities should have included a process to enable participants to provide feedback on their experience.
