The project does not see itself as the beginning and the end of civil society strengthening activities in Serbia, and has not functioned in this way. Indeed, there is a clear understanding in the project team that the processes of strengthening the role of civil society in Serbia is a process that has been on-going for many years and will continue for many years to come. The project focus has not been on its activities in isolation but on the contribution the project could make to initiatives already underway in Serbia. What was important was not 'the project', but strengthening processes of dialogue, strengthening civil society and strengthening the role civil society plays. This is exactly the correct approach. While evaluation of an action is less simple where the action is one of many being undertaken by a given NGO, supporting the development of skills, capacities and experience within civil society organisations is, in this case, more important than a project being seen as successful - success is far beyond the confines of a project initiative.
