Impression: The attendance of the training was very satisfactory. The participants were found highly motivated and interested in the training. Participants actively raised questions, joined group works and discussions. The first day-starting was some delay, and was closed early than scheduled remaining some tasks in due, but it was lastly managed as the participants were committed to give their additional times in the second and last day of the training. Venue of the training was at Paurshava level, so it was not hampered their official works; it was one of facilitates for PS officials and public representatives to make their emergency small tasks in the training break-period.

Also the trainer evaluated the training and reflected about possible improvements. Evaluation by participants The evaluation of the participants resulted in the following feedback and suggestions. A general outcome of the training (based on evaluation form) is that: o 85 % of the participants indicated that importance of this training was ‘very good’ for them, 15% indicated ‘good’; o 70 % of participants indicated that their participation in the training was ‘good’, and 23 % indicated ‘very good’; and 7% indicated moderately; o 54 % of participants indicated that the training did meet their expectations ‘good’, 16 % indicated ‘very good’ and 30% indicated ‘moderately’ o 62 % of participants indicated that efficiency of the trainer was ‘good’ and 38 % indicated as’ very good’; o 70% of participants indicated that usage of methods and materials in the training was ‘good’ and 23% indicated as ‘very good’ and 7% as ‘moderately’; o 69% of participants indicated that behavior of the trainer was ‘very good’, and 31% indicated as ‘good’. o 77% of participants indicated that quality of foods in the training was ’very good’; and 23% indicated ‘good’; o 54% of participants indicated that overall training management was ‘very good’; 38% indicated ‘very good’; 8% indicated ‘moderately’; o 39% of participants indicated that duration of the training was ‘good’; 31% indicated ‘very good’; and 30% indicated’ moderately’.

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.
