Additional sampling (if needed) could be drawn from neighbouring communities where the various trainings took place. The external evaluation will calculate the values of the project performance indicators appearing in the logical framework, and provide explanations for the discrepancies observed with the planned targets.

- Final Evaluation reports
- In addition to the reports, an article of 1 to 2 pages maximum summarizing the report in the form of a one-page newsletter for decision-makers would be useful.
