1. Recommendation:
Project ended in 2012. While the project was trying to address the recommendations of the mid-term review the main issued remained: HCYU ? mainly for budgetary purposes found it very difficult to staff the VVIRC office sufficiently and in a sustainable way. This fact continued to have a negative impact on project implementation. A management response was not possible.
Management Response: [Added: 2013/03/21] [Last Updated: 2016/12/30]
A Management Response was not completed at the time of evaluation and is being addressed now, in 2016. This evaluation and associated recommendations are from 2007/2008 and their current relevance is limited. In addition, there have been several improvements and accompanying guidance to UNV project management. However, as part of a planned meta-analysis of UNV evaluations this evaluation and all associated recommendations will be consolidated and an overall lessons learned product will be developed from past evaluations.
