Expected results

The consultant is expected to present an evaluation report to inform changes and adaptations helping to identify gaps, shortcomings and opportunities.

Scope and approach

Evaluation questions

The questions will be discussed and prioritised together with the evaluator. Most of the answers can be sourced from evaluations that have been completed by participants after each training, and from two surveys that were shared with former participants about the use of the training content. For some of the questions it will be necessary to conduct qualitative interviews with some participants and trainers, a total of 16 interviews are foreseen.
