Technical
assessment
On objectives
The Project objective in developing the
capabilities of the eligible LGUs was substantially achieved.
The Project accomplished 116 percent in terms of providing
capability building on project development to the LGUs and 156
percent in terms of number of participants. The post training
assessment of the participants for the resource speakers and the
training program as a whole were between very good to excellent.
The participants further confirmed the rating during the closing
programs when they rendered their impressions and insights.
On results
The capability
building program improved the capabilities of the LGUs in
preparing project proposals. The program has developed their
confidence in project development. Six out of the 37 recipient
LGUs prepared and submitted sub-project proposals to the PMO for
the ASSEF Project as of September 30, 2006.
