The participants had the chance to know more about strategies, methodologies and tools for monitoring, evaluating and measuring the impacts of peace related projects.
CAPAZ gave its work more echo and visibility by participating in this event. It was also an opportunity to dialogue with institutions working on similar topics to those of CAPAZ. The event facilitated the exchange of experiences resulting from the implementation of the developed projects.
