How to ensure that findings are used 1 1.
Capacity development should be issue based. This requires intensive tailor made support.
2.
Ensure high level political support and buy-in to ensure that the more systemic issues that emerge are addressed.
3.
As mentioned earlier, ensure on forehand that there is a budget and technical support available to address capacity needs identified at local level.
4.
Ensure that your methodology is rigorous, i.e. that the results are accepted by all stakeholders. One way to do so is to triangulate your methodologies.
