lessons_learned:

description:

 Local ownership is significant for ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of the project, and it often takes time and requires awareness to be built.  Creating a trust environment among community decision-makers is key to ensuring continuity of children’s education.  Despite the efficiency of gathering women and men in the same room or place for delivering general family trainings, considering the gender dynamics and tension concerning the topics on violence against women, conducting the family trainings separately would be found useful.  The activities related to the renovations and maintenance required more time for preparation, designing, market research, procurement, and consultations with the stakeholders.  A more inclusive approach that considers root causes and poverty reduction is needed in the referral process of children aged between 15 and 17 to formal education.  Successful interventions require a longer commitment and continuous engagement; the project recognized the importance of regular personal meetings with all stakeholders in all phases of implementing the project activities.
