Project: Enhancing the Functional Protection of Human Rights in Ethiopia
Evaluation Date: May 2012
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The training in Ethiopia covered issues such as identification of human rights violations and of applicable legislation and international standards. The training sessions fully met participants’ expectations and requirements of the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission. Trainers took a very practical approach and followed up with a hands-on coaching session on the preparation of the first National Status Report on the implementation of international standards ratified by Ethiopia. The report drafting task was directly within the scope of work of training participants.

Theme: Rule of law

Ethiopia human rights, relevance, training

Project: Civic education and empowerment for more women in leadership, from villages to parliament in Fiji
Evaluation Date: July 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

As part of the capacity building process, at the end of the training session, each facilitator had to submit to the class a project proposal, including a selection of the topics more relevant for her own communities, including an action plan and a budget. This was a very practical approach that worked. The action plan was also a condition for the release of funds to start implementing workshops at the local level.

Project: Student Civic Action: Engaging and Empowering Emerging Leaders in Universities in Jordan
Evaluation Date: March 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The training was practical and taught youth how to make things happen– starting with how to identify the problem, collect information, make recommendations and prepare an action plan to address the problems. It taught them communication skills so they could get their plans across and seek support from the community and government offices. This was coupled with hands-on experience for some youth created through the internships, sub-grants and volunteer activities. Combined, this gave the youth the tools needed to tackle problems and lead others.

Project: The Bottom-up Governance and Leadership Programme for Women in the Pacific
Evaluation Date: April 2011
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The majority of the participants did not have easy, affordable access to Internet. The grantee realized this early in the implementation and disseminated training materials in hard copy. Despite this, assignments had either to be submitted by e-mail or put in the post – which was costly and difficult for those living in remote areas. As a result, many of the women did not complete the course.

Theme: Women's empowerment

Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga internet, technology, training

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Disparities among the participants regarding their basic knowledge on key-topics hindered the satisfactory implementation of some training sessions. Organizing trainees into more homogeneous groups by distinguishing different levels of training – basic, advanced – in topics such as national development and sectorial, as well as public finances and local governance could address the issue.

Theme: Rule of law

Morocco assessment, needs, training

Content and form of the workshops were adapted to the socio-cultural specificities and took into account the limitations of the participants.
