Summary
1. It is recommended that the course be repeated in all the CAPS. This is the affirmation and general consensus of all the stakeholders consulted over the period of the evaluation 2. It is further recommended that the timeline for the course be extended to ten (10) instead of six (6) weeks for timely delivery of the course and for the inclusion of other elements that are critical to achievement of project goals 3.

There should also be a standardized rate and approach to the use of stipends for needy participants. The overall budget provision should also be increased to meet the realistic stipend levels 8.
