The in-country phase of the impact evaluation trainings planned under the scope of the Eastern and South-Eastern Anatolia Development Agencies Project has been completed. These initial trainings were held to better evaluate the support provided under financial support programmes and to create a network of experts who are knowledgeable about the new methods through capacity building in development agencies. The upcoming trainings will be held in London.

The trainings were held in Erzurum, Trabzon and Mardin. The evaluation trainings which consist of 2-day 8 modules were prepared by the project partner Development Analytics Association for the staff of Eastern Black Sea Development Agency, Eastern Anatolia Development Agency, Northeast Anatolia Development Agency,Serhat Development Agency, Mevlana Development Agency and Middle Anatolia Development Agency.

Following the in-country trainings, 21 trainees will participate in a more comprehensive evaluation training which will be held by the London-based project partner Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) in London on 11-15 July 2016 .
