Project: Enhancing the Capacity for Inclusive Local Governance through Synergies and Sustainable Linkages between Communities and Government in North Afghanistan
Evaluation Date: April 2013
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Project strategy for training was well-prepared, taking account of the needs and characteristics of potential trainees in the area. The training-of-trainers course, training curriculum and methodology, all designed by a contracted provider, appear to have been well-done, and matched appropriately to trainee learning needs and capabilities of the beneficiaries in Afghanistan.

Theme: Community activism

Afghanistan design, training

Project: Strengthening Somali Media Capacity for Democracy and Human Rights
Evaluation Date: October 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The project took due account of the requirements for gender balance in terms of participation. However, the contents of the training sessions did not sufficiently emphasize the gender aspects of human rights and governance, which are particularly important in a conflict context such as Somalia’s.

Theme: Media

Somalia conflict, gender, training

Project: Civic Involvement for Transparency and Accountability in Kosovo
Evaluation Date: August 2015
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Participating CSOs were given training and reference materials to enable them to engage in hands-on processes including monitoring of the proceedings of the municipal assemblies and the decision-making of the municipal executive. The training also enabled them to draft monitoring reports, facilitate community participation and assess priority issues in local communities as well as to develop policy analysis, prepare policy briefs and engage in advocacy. The training was highly effective in all three cases, and was followed up by continuing coaching and accompaniment at key points in the process by the grantee project team.

Project: Promoting Human Rights through Providing Access to Information for Marginalized Women in Zimbabwe
Evaluation Date: November 2015
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The training gave a very palpable boost to the self-confidence of the women who participated. The capacities of citizen journalists have also been substantially improved, and some women have clearly acquired skills that enhanced their status at local level and continued to spur their posting of information on social networks.

Theme: Media

Zimbabwe social networks, training

Project: Promotion of Women’s Empowerment and Rights in Somalia
Evaluation Date: June 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Cascade training carried out by the CSOs meant the acquired knowledge did not just stay with the leaders but extended to staff and volunteers of the organizations. Since turnover of staff is always a problem in relation to the sustainability of training, the spreading of capacity throughout the organizations is a positive sign.

Project: Expanding and Fortifying Local Democracy through the People’s Council in the Philippines
Evaluation Date: January 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The training activities attempted to cover complex topics in very brief training sessions. This limited the prospects for building the practical knowledge of trainees in local governance and public participation issues.

Theme: Community activism

Philippines governance, learning, training

Project: Expanding and Fortifying Local Democracy through the People’s Council in the Philippines
Evaluation Date: January 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The project’s training programme was implemented, for the most part, by experienced external consultants. While the sequence of workshops addressed a comprehensive list of topics, there were some problems. In particular, the use of only English-language training materials for a population, particularly at barangay level, which had a limited knowledge of particularly written English.

Project: Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Jamaica
Evaluation Date: September 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The impact of the project was visible in the demeanour and sense of confidence in the participants. This was most visible for the entry level women, returning professionals and community level women, although even some of the senior level women appeared to have gained an increased sense of purpose and interest in serving on boards.

Project: Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Jamaica
Evaluation Date: September 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The training included a practical exercise where by the 10 women were given small sums of money to implement a community project in their area of interest. This served to reinforce the learning and provided hands on experience to these women in a mentored environment. This helped ensure the success of most mini-projects which in turn helped increase the trainees’ confidence and self-esteem and contributed to their community’s perception of them as leaders.

Project: Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Jamaica
Evaluation Date: September 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The grantee leveraged its network of domestic and international partners to help develop the training curricula and to identify women for training. Its use of accomplished and well known women as trainers served as a draw for the women to participate as well as provided real world experience for the trainees.
