The most relevant remarks in the evaluation forms were: o o o o o o o o o o o

This type of training is good for public representatives; Give handouts of PowerPoint presentations; Give more case studies on revenue raising; PP preparation process, identity and linkage process with donor agencies in the training could be included; The training is enough suitable and important; It would be very good for participants if the venue is outside from the Paurashava; Discussion in the training was right; Allowances for participants; This type of training is very good for PS administration, if it is arranged repeatedly ; Extension of training day; Need refresher training.

Evaluation by trainer The training evaluation resulted in general feeling that the training was valuable for the participants as they have learned many basics about climate change, financial analysis, city’s investment needs on climate aspects and etc. through lots of examples, exercises and case studies. Participants in the training were different levels of knowledge. All contents were not similarly main interest for them. Some of the participants did not have good knowledge. However, participants seemed to feel happy on their evaluation that 85 % of the participants indicated that importance of this training was ‘very good’ and rest 15% of participants indicated ‘good. Again, 70 % of participants indicated that their participation in the training was ‘good’, and 23 % indicated ‘very good’; rest 7% indicated ‘moderately’. Of course, two days of training will never fill up all knowledge gaps. Participants welcomed all the exercises and case studies, but some exercises were not completed during the training for timing lack. However, the trainer concludes from this training lesson that in the next trainings the time for the theoretical discussion has to be reduced so that more time can be spend on the practice of exercises and case studies.
