SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IMPACTED:

International consultancy for the systematisation of learning in the field of Triangular Cooperation of the ADELANTE Programme

Description of the consultancy:

As part of the first face-to-face meeting of all the ADELANTE Programme projects, a workshop was held from 22 to 25 October 2018 in Montevideo to reflect on the lessons learned in Triangular Cooperation from project execution and Program implementation as a whole. The reflections resulting from the workshop were systematised in writing in an orderly and consistent manner.

Objective:

Identify the learning in terms of Triangular Cooperation from the implementation of the projects and of the entire ADELANTE Programme.

Participating Institutions:

Transversal consultancy, for the entire ADELANTE Programme.

Activities carried out specifically:

A workshop was held with all the projects of the ADELANTE Programme, within the framework of the first project meeting held in Montevideo, from 22 to 25 October 2018.

Main products:

A systematisation document for lessons learned from projects and the ADELANTE Programme in the area of Triangular Cooperation.

Assessments:

The consultancy provided a mechanism for dialogue with the projects that facilitated the compilation of lessons learned in the first two years of the ADELANTE Programme. This exercise not only allowed to systematise the lessons learned in the area of Triangular Cooperation, but it was also useful to adjust some of the Programme's management processes and tools based on joint reflections. In general, DEVCO's assessment of the projects and Technical Assistance of the ADELANTE Programme was very positive.
