Project: Youth as Agents of Democratic Change through Knowledge and Information Acquisition and Exchange in Laos
Evaluation Date: June 2014
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

There are concerns whether and how teaching and promotion of environmental and indigenous knowledge among the Lao youth will or can be continued given the mobility of teaching staff. It is also not clear how it could be expanded to locations previously not covered by the project given inconsistent teaching staff knowledge.
It will be crucial to secure the Ministry of Education’s (implementation partner) agreement that its existing structural, human and financial resources will be accessible to support a future expansion of the project.

Theme: Youth engagement
