Reports on Monitoring Visits

AUICK’s main method to assess the impact of its activities has been monitoring visits. The main purposes of the visits to the past trainees are: (1) to find out how the knowledge and skills acquired through the training sessions have been utilized back in their countries; (2) to learn the trainees’ views as to how to improve the future training sessions; and (3) to further motivate their professional commitment to the common goal of improving the management of urban services. This article is a summary of the four monitoring visits made between October 2003 and November 2004.
