Evaluation consultancies have covered a wide range of contexts from setting up local Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation strategies within project activities such as those in Mali and more recently in the mPPACT project, to undertaking full external evaluations. In between this, was the work with the Te Itibwerere Theatre group in Kiribati.
Commissioned by the UK Department for international Development (DFID) who funded the groups work, the consultancy involved a needs assessment with the group, followed by the generation of a five year plan for the future. To achieve this and support the outcome, the work was carried out with the group through workshops and training activities over a three week period.
