Evaluation |
The project is likely to be highly sustained. Training activities at the Center would continue because the Center is part of the Academy, which is the national level training organization of China. Also the regional trainings of the project seem to have enough management capacity. What’ more important, the Chinese government has allocated necessary budget, including part of implementing cost for training and the Academy has a plan to implement its own 58 training courses, which result in training budget being secured after the end of the project. |
