Tailor-made training course on ''Ongoing and ex-post evaluation of programmes and projects: principles and tools''

The mission consisted of training five (5) officials from Madagascar's Ministry of National Education on the subject of ''Ongoing and ex-post evaluation of programmes and projects: principles and tools''.
As expected by funding agencies and as part of the project or programme cycle, evaluations are frequently carried out and should be a highlight of the development process. However, they are still too often implemented in haste, by actors and contributors who have little understanding of their usefulness. Having initially focused mainly on the results of the action, evaluation now leans towards intervention strategies, the direct and indirect effects of interventions and the changes brought about.
